Speculations after chapter 793
So during a conversation with my good friend ivebeenamused I came up with some theories:
Luffy,s definitely gonna clash with Kid, since he’s after Shanks. The problem is he has too few strong allies. Kid has 2 allies with their crews and all are formidable in terms of brute strength and unique abilities. Starwhats are strong, that's true, but think of Nami, Chopper, Ussop or Brook. They would simply perish in battle. All the rest have their strong long or mid range attacks. They're all excellent in general combat (I mean Monster Trio and Franky; Robin has great ability) . But Nami - she has no stamina. Ussop's strength comes from strategies and amo. Brook is quick but not physically strong. Chopper is strong but he panics and is concerned about others since he's a medic, thus he loses focus on battle and gets himself hurt. And Law's crew? As far as we've seen them, they have no special abilities, so they're in a real deep shit. If Strawhats are to defeat Kid's alliance, both stronger in terms of strength and numbers, they need another ally. And here comes Big Mom. http://mojra-the-fire-fist.tumblr.com/post/120953728654/op-speculations My previous theory explain show they’d form alliance.
I'm also sensing a strong rift, civil war even among the marines. They have such contradictory ideas of justice and Akainu is a fuckin tyrant. I can tell from his conversation with Fujitora that they're going to clash and it would start a real war among marines. perhaps against world nobles as well. And it is my firm belief some of those "good" marines who want to overthrow tyrannical nobles would form alliance with revolutionary army, feed them information. And Strawhats are definitely going to get stirred into it.
National treasure of Mariejois that Flamingo bastard spoke of. http://www.mangapanda.com/one-piece/761/9 hmmm... what kind of national treasure world nobles could possibly posses? And it’s existence can shake the world? Let’s say it’s about causing stir literary. It’s got to be some kind of weapon. Weapon of mass destruction I’d say. We’ve heard of one so far - Pluton - and Nefertari family supposedly knows it’s location. Remember that Nefertaris left the whole Mariejois thing. So they either kept it safe from everyone (we haven’t heard of Alabasta in a while, hope they’re all right) or the damn thing was never located in Alabasta, hence it is in Mariejois. But then again what would be the purpose of Cobra saying his family is keeping Pluton away from the world. So Mariejois has either the other weapon (Uranus) or it’s a different matter entirely. Let’s think what could shake the world figuratively. Something that would galvanize the people against Mariejois. Something world nobles are already keeping secret, since it would cause mutiny among people. Yes, the void century! The technologically advanced country which name we don’t know, destroyed by nobles during the void. And since there’s good and evil in every war ever fought, the truth about void could either make the nobles into saviors or harbingers of death. And what is the single source of this knowledge that cannot be destroyed and could destroy the nobles (hence it has to be hidden away)? Rio poneglyph. Supposedly located at Raftel. But what if it is there no more?
I’m just going to leave it here, so rage, respond, enjoy.
