One Piece

Hehe, yes,

Spoiler:
MAGMA OWNS EVERYTHING! Kind of makes you wonder if Aikanu is the strongest admiral

About Blackbeard not knowing about haki: When he faces Luffy in Impel Down he said "your haki has improved". So I think its pretty sure he knows about haki.

Way to fail, Ace. Jeez, all that work for nothing.

So...he's just a braggy deuche?

Dunno. If some logia really do have a sort of elemental dominace scale, I'd put Kizaru at the top. Though Aikanu does seem the most hardcore.

He knows about haki, he fought against Shanks and humbled Ace, the guy has won the right to brag.

Unless you mean Aikanu, who has his own reasons to brag, among them being a total badas*. 😉

The greatest badass in One Piece is and always will be Smoker.

Well....Magellan comes close.

Do you think any of the big baddies will show up later in the story? One would think that if the Strawhats ever clash horns with the World Government the Shichibukai would be right in the middle.

Mihawk, Blackbeard and Boa are far too important to character development to fade away, so they'll certainly reappear. Kuma seems to have ties to the resistance, so he'll come up again at some point, probably in a flashback because well....he's basically a zombie these days. Moria might pop up again occasionally, but in no serious capacity. Flamingo has the highest bounty of the entire series IIRC and seems every bit as tough/dangerous as that implies. He's going to be a big bad at some point IMO. Jinbei is probably going to have to fight Luffy as vengeance for Arlong.

I think the series is never going to have one true big bad, but the biggest pirate threats are Blackbeard and his crew, which is slowly evolving into a perfect match for the Strawhats, and the World government. Thus far, the single most dangerous individuals are either Blackbeard, Magellan or Sengoku.

So would anyone particularly care if Ace died?

I would. Though it might make Luffy stand up and start paying serious attention to things. I can see some real changes/development coming if Ace does die.

But I still don't want him to. It would be like validating everything that ******* said about Whitebeard. He sacrifices his life for Ace and it means jack-shit. 🙁

Hate Ace, glad he died.

Gonna be even happier when Whitebeard proceeds to **** magma boy up.

I couldn't make myself care about Ace when he appeared the first time around. The second time I just said "mmmh... Blackbeard fodder". Until now he has only lived to fulfill my impression of not being impressed at all to be honest.

He's like some sort of Luffy made in the nineties or something.

I think the problem with Ace is that he's the only One Piece character that was made to be inetentionally "cool" and as such lacks the charm and crazy awesome of other characters.

Yep, that may be the case. I never quite made sense of him having a logia ability either, almost as if it was there just to make him cooler (something as basic as fire, may as well be the most basic logia ever shown).

But well, let's just hope we return to the old crew in a month or so. This arc ran its course already.

I know. As awesome as it's been, it's starting to wear thin. Also, in regards to shichibukai power levels, I just reread the scene where Kuma and Flamingo are introduced, and Mihawk refers to them both as "The two great powers of the warlords of the sea." So out of the original seven at least they're the top 2, which seems about right to me.

Yep, probably now that Kuma is a zombie Flamingo should be the top dog. Given how little he seems to give a damn about what the World Government backing his position with power sounds good.

After Jimbei's showing against Aikanu I don't quite know what he's going to do during the fish-man arc. His "I'll throw my life away" speech has become a little stale by now.

Hey, reflecting in the last chapter maybe the next one will be "the rebirth of Gol D. Ace" 😈

Screw you guys!

Good night, sweet prince. cry

noooo..why does Ace have to die..all those pirate went trough all the trouble just to save him..and he still die..what the hell is Oda thinking..just let Whitebeard die with honor..that would be better..

It's perfect that Ace died actually.

Luffy now has a completely valid reason to hate and destroy the World Government. It sets up the stage for Dragon and Luffy to finally meet and form an alliance.

Not to mention it kills of the worst character in the series.
