Yeah you're chugging right on through, you should be there fairly soon at the rate you're going
My brother messaged me recently saying he made it to the Skypiea arc. He said the one thing he's most looking forward to seeing is when Ace and Blackbeard finally meet.

You have no idea how good it felt to go from anime to manga, and finally be able to highlight every spoiler ever without fear. Oh, the joy of reading the material being adapted, not the adaption. (Except when people post raw spoilers FUCK!!!)

That's why I stay away from the Manga thread tuesday night -> wednesday morning until after I've read the chapters.
If only I had that much willpower.
I can't believe that people are still pushing (and buying) that whole Cerberus thing. There was a flashback during the FI arc which showed Blackbeard with a clawed weapon. That's a MUCH better explanation for Shanks' scar rather than something completely made up (especially since Blackbeard's never shown it in any of his fights with Ace/Whitebeard/Luffy). Please let this die already.

Edit out that image, or at least edit out the water mark
That alone wouldn't really explain why the scars on Shanks face still hurt though.
I doubt that line has as much significance as you think.
It's a pretty good theory, but we're probably a good decade from finding out the truth so I'm still a little skeptical.
Also, I always thought the "They" comment Luffy and Zoro made on Jaya about Blackbeard was referring to his crew, not Blackbeard having someone else inside him. You have to keep in mind they saw each member of his crew (Minus Auger) individually before running into Teach himself, so I guess they managed to figure out that they were all together. It makes more since than automatically assuming that Blackbeard had someone else inside of him, that would be too unbelievable after just meeting him for a few minutes.

Kinda of like the total recall guy.

Speaking of Blackbeard, the World Government should really stop enlisting more Shichibukais. Pretty much all of them betrayed them / pursuit their own agenda / help Luffy

To be fair, of course they're going to follow their own agenda! The Shichibukai are basically there to back the World Government whenever needed. They're still pirates!Speaking of Blackbeard, the World Government should really stop enlisting more Shichibukais. Pretty much all of them betrayed them / pursuit their own agenda / help Luffy
I do get where you're coming from, though.

Except the WG needs the Warlords more than ever. The Marines took a big hit in numbers in the war against Whitebeard and they were already spread too thin as it was. The high-ranking Marines have their hands full trying to police the New World, while the Blues and the early Grand Line are dealing with a surge of rookies after WB's dying words. The marines need the intimidating power of the Warlords to deter/defeat lower level pirates they don't have the manpower to go after themselves.

Yeah, remembering that scene now, Luffy and Zoro were definitely referring to his crew. The crew grouped up on-screen pretty much right after that. Certainly a reach on the part of that theorist.
Just the idea of him being chimeric by nature though, and that being what his "strange body" is, is still sound. If we just base it on the flag, what kind of ability he'd need to absorb multiple fruits, and Marco's comments.
Starting Marineford now, finally.
What am I in for?
Go in blind dude, go in blind.
All I know is that
Ace dies, and I think Luffy does manage to save Ace but he dies after the rescue.
You know too much already. Don't read One Piece threads until you finish the arc.
I was going to post this gif with the original link but couldn't find it at the time, so thank you lol.
And it gets crazier.
Stealth brag.

The theory is interesting. The thing that surprised me the most was how Luffy and Zoro refer to Blackbeard as "they."
"They"? It's not the same in the anime is it? I don't remember that all. That's really interesting. The fact that they seem so unphased by it in the panel is funny.
Edit: Unless they just referred to his crew. Which would be lame lol.

The latter there is all I really think it is. Chimarism from birth, not from a DF. The power-absorbing is indeed from the darkness fruit. Maybe that's how he sucked it out of whitebeard, but the second set of cells is what let him actually use it.
whitebeard never said that. whitebeard said that blackbeard isn't the one roger was waiting for. roger was likely waiting for a D to rise up and take down the world government when they find one piece. blackbeard isn't the kinda guy who would fight for such a cause.
What if he does have the Chimera devil fruit, and later in the series when he shows it off, he gets two more heads: Whitebeards and Thatchs. Would be a mind fuck.

That was a really good read. It also makes sense with (fishman island spoilers)
the prediction that Luffy destroys Fishman Island. Just because he destroys Fishman Island in the prediction doesn't mean he does it will ill intent or that he killed all of the fishman. And her predictions always come true...

Awwwwwwwwwwww SHEEEITTT
I like it, very nice find about the Joy Boy part. I wonder what role the revolutionaries would play in this though.
What if Uranus is a "device" that let you control the weather and it is already in possession of Dragon?

Was my first thought as well, could perhaps explain why the "world" collectively rejected the idea
This is very plausible
Of course they would,
so that makes that part of the theory highly unlikely, as I don't think the AK would be made out to be the bad guys.........or would they?

To be fair their will is being carried on by pirates :X
Great film.
It was a pity that the weak trio didn't end up doing too much, but that was to be expected.
He also has three guns.

There are so many great things that happened during the war that I can't even pinpoint what you're reaction was in reference to.
