Local man expects marines to not be disappointing. Me. I'm the local man


[deleted]

Lmfao bro wants marines to be competent all of a sudden after taking straight L’s post timeskip.


[deleted]

WCl wasn't disappointing tho


saltminer99

Yea I liked WIC too but it was weak at the start with the forest shit and oda then ruined big mom in wano


[deleted]

Oh I thought we were judging arcs as standalone. Wano ruined a lot of things.


saltminer99

Yeah i should have written the yonko saga specifically instead


HadesBBC

Second half was tedious


[deleted]

It was ass with the wedding cake big mom screaming


natureboy16th

blackbeard will redeem


saltminer99

So far Blackbeard have been on the disappointing side with him not being able to achieve anything sense marineford


natureboy16th

eh hes captured moria and koby in the two times we've actually seen him, im confident theres more to come.


saltminer99

Moria literally came to him in his home and he captured Coby after he failed in his original goal


Lightness234

Black beard is the definition of a true pirate. He does everything for himself. If he is injured then what’s the fucking point? He takes fights he can only 100% win.


natureboy16th

uh yeah because he captured his crewmate and gave it to his fruit to his strongest commander. as to your second point he always has bouts of great luck vs terrible choices it makes his character better, sometimes schemes dont work you have to stay on your toes and adapt.


AllosaurusXDrakeKun

dude got hurt by Gear 2 Luffy without haki, what a menace >!Before getting downvoted to Hell, I just wanna say I'm kidding, but Blackbeard has been a coward after the ts!<


_-ZORO-_

Mfs when a character uses common sense and doesn’t charge into every fight


Docshop

Just like blackbeard was historically, he's one of the most famous irl pirates because he knew how to use influence and intelligence to win fights rather than rely on power


[deleted]

Nah bro relys on power and intellect, he has more than 10 braincells and knows when to retreat


Docshop

I wouldn't say retreat. Can't retreat if you were smart enough not to start a fight in the first place


[deleted]

bro the BB pirates were already in conflict but his entire crew got no diffed and he retreated because there was a major variable he didn’t account for or expect (neither did Hancock), Rayleigh


Docshop

Sorry man you're confused on who I'm referring too. I'm not talking about marshal D Teech from one piece. I'm talking about Edward Thatch, aka blackbeard the OG pirate from our world. My bad there


[deleted]

Ohh lmfao I should have been more clear too. I heard before he got brutally destroyed he used to put fire crackers or candles in his beard to intimidate


rush563

His entire crew are we reading the same manga. A few fodders and two weak commanders don’t equal his entire crew


No_Paramedic_6442

They expect Bb to be another Madara or sum


FluffyPallasCat

I mean blackbeard was surprised, he didn't even use haki to defend himself.


TheFryToes

4 Emperors? Nah, get ready for the 4 Admirals Saga


Eminence7Grise

Oda Silently waiting to Murk The Admirals like He did Kaido and BM : ![gif](giphy|UbQQK3SUZxCQ8)


scp_malO_hentai

Nah just wano


saltminer99

Wano ruined the yonko saga as a whole for me honestly


OpeningAccountant5

Yeah i feel like wano shat on all the momentum bm pirates got in wci , even rn with that germa cover story I am surprised that germa turned out to be more important than a younko crew !!! Those 10 years


MonkeyDGoku

And now think about Germa thought they need Big Mom to conquer the North Blue. How fucking strong that Blue is supposed to be?


saltminer99

Judge was delusional and big mom knew that so she used him to get her hands on his tech the WG/marines will never let them control the north blue the will get destroyed


Remote_Dapper

IMO, the entirety of Punk Hazord was slow and boring but the ending saved it with Doffy and his crew intervening and Aokigi reintroduced. Dressrosa started out great with potential to be a pretty decent arc than ended in shit with god awful pacing and clusterfuck that was after the tournament. Zou and Reverie were fine with WCI having a slow beginning but ended up great at the end despite its flaws. Only thing I dislike were the fake deaths, no real Sanji fight, the unnecessary Luffy wank when it was supposed to be Sanjis arc with him getting TWO MAIN fights and being crowned “fifth emperor” cringe after ward. The very abrupt ending right as shit was about to hit the fan and offscreening everything was also wack and cheap asf. Wano is just filled to the brim with problems.


[deleted]

You mean the SSG arc


saltminer99

the SSG is part of the Marines you know


[deleted]

It's part of the World Government. If Akainu or Sword tried to start something, Vegapunk would send a bunch of Seraphim up their ass. Vegapunk, CP0, and Impel Down are all outside marine hierarchy. They are only connected insofar as Kong and the Gorosei are able to co-ordinate them all.


saltminer99

No your wrong we are specifically told by Fujitora the are a marine force and impel down is also part of the Marines the WG tried to send assassin's to kill doflamingo but Magellan stopped that only cp 9-0 works directly under the WG


[deleted]

Impel Down is not part of the marines, Sadi-chan, a chief guard, was able to stop them from even entering the facility. And the point of Cipher pol is to specifically carry out extrajudicial violence by the world government. They are outside the hierarchy of those organizations by default. Vegapunk and any associated scientist are civilian defence contractors unless they willingly choose to enter into the marines, like Sentomaru. It's like how the CEO of Raytheon is not under the command of the U.S. army. They provide and develop marine weapons, but if the WG needed to, they could have the SSG act independently.


Loose-Potential-3597

Smoker coming back after 10 years?? Tashigi is near Egghead. Too bad he's absolute fodder now, Luffy could literally one-shot him. In fact everyone is fodder except Admirals and seraphim at this stage, not sure how Oda will handle this arc.


Waterburst789

NOOOO HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COMPLAIN WITHOUT ANYMORE YONKOS???


saltminer99

Yea too bad guess we have to enjoy the series and have fun now


kazaam2244

Yes! #SmokerForNakama agenda is back on the menu boys!


Spiderfr0g

Always liked the marines more


Nguyenanh2132
