One Piece Discussion/Predictions 588

I'm actually satisfied with this chapter, though I was more hoping for Dragon to do more action in destroying the nobility, but he did something much better. He destroyed the main goal of the Nobility, which is to kill and burn away all the trash and "Filth". Dragon still holds a lot of my respect though I still don't know any more about him than two years ago. Dragon must have some sort of ability or he has an ally that has an ability to make a pathway like the one in the Grey Terminal. Or it could be just Haki if you can control it properly.

As for Ace and Dadan, I have the feeling that Ace will be the one who defeated Bluejam and that will inspire him to press forward even further. I don't know if Dadan will survive or not, because well, Dadan was ready to stay but she didn't seem the "certain I'll make it back alive" character, afterall Bandits aren't people who fight one on one, or aren't ones who take on other knwon fighters freely. Pirates are known to do that more as in the past many pirates used to be Navy officers and the alike. But that still didn't stop them from running if they had too. If I had an opinion in terms of history affecting a persons mentality I believe that Dadan dies in the fight or in the fire, this enspires Ace to become even stronger and he does. Just as Ace's death will inspire Luffy to becoming stronger than before, that could be the Sabo Incident they talked about, or it could just be with Sabo's life falling apart. But I do agree with Ryan in that this is most likley the last time we will see Sabo in this Flashback. But I think that we will see Sabo real soon as he undoubtedly knows of Ace's demise, and Luffy's condition at this point and will do whatever it takes to see Luffy again.

My prediction. The flashback is going to end, Luffy is going to be back inside a building still in Kumija Island, most likley with Boa. Boa is going to be talking with Luffy, or he is going to be talking to the old lady. The person Luffy is talking too is going to give him some encouragment and help him move on, but not move past revenge should the opportunity presents itself. I'm just saying that if a Marine Admiral in some self-righteous rehtoric killed my sworn brother I would see to it that he pays dearly when I get the chance. But I wouldn't let revenge ruin my life and my other goals and distance myself from others who are important to me. So in that respect Luffy is going to try and reunite with his crew with some help from Boa, and once he reunites with his crew he is going to continue on his journey, but before leaving his is likley going to talk to Boa about joining to show that he is back to the way he was. I'm interested in also seeing what Buggy, Crocodile, Mr. 3, Mr. 1, and Jimbei are going to do or what they are moving on into doing.

Many of them will either band together and form their own pirate crew. Or in some cases likley with Jimbei he might Join Luffy, But with Whitebeards protection gone from Fishman Island Jimbei will go as far as fishman island, we saw what happened to that other village that was protected by Whitebeard, it got raided by some other pirates called "Brownbeard" (shamless ass). Anyway once they reach fishman island Jimbei will stay because they will likely find raiders or slave hunters having a capture spree. Boa might join but while she has her island and people to look after she most likley won't join. Mr. 1 will just join Crocodile where ever he goes. Mr. 3 has a strong friendship with Buggy and Buggy has a crew to return to and a lot of other followers following him. The only one out of the whole group that has nothing holding them back from Joining Luffy is Crocodile. Mostly because he has no crew and has no where to go, with that in mind Crocodile also with the World Government who will be hunting him all over again, he has no choice but to join another or go into deep hiding. That would mean he is going to join the remants of Whitebeard's crew or he will join Luffy. Crocodile right now immediatley doesn't have the ability, resources and influence to form a new crew he will have to go like I said into hiding until he is able or join another.
