Beowulf

Loki was able to overwhelm Rocks? What? Also his name is Xebec.

By transitive rules, Xebec and Harald were equal, so Loki beating him does go a long way, but Garp and Roger fought Domi Reversi rocks to be fair.

And shanks captured and defeated Loki remember.

He's absolutely top tier but it's a bit early to say he's on par with Roger haha, even with Ragnir and the Skoll/Hati/fenris fruit

Well let's be fair, Harald had been worn down a LOT by Gaban and Shanks, who are Yonko level mofos.

But not to take anything away from Loki, for sure he's strong, nuking Harald with that lightning bolt is still insanely powerful.

I really hope he joins up

Always one or two people ripping on mihawk for the last 20 years. He's literally the best swordsman on the planet..how is that overrated..? If zoro has it, there's a trillion to one chance mihawk doesn't, come on. And we've seen nothing from shamrock besides his sword in his one appearance..compared to mihawk over decades and in the war.

For all we know shanks got way stronger living in the new world and being with Roger, not chilling on the red line and stomping mooks while being invincible. Garling got roflstomped by Xebec, while Roger, Garp, and the 3 Yonko could hold him off and/or beat him.

I don't doubt they're strong but they're completely unknown entities.

Or read the manga? But it isn't meant to be a 1:1, it's just perfectly in keeping with the absurd crazy power that she can also embody it even temporarily. Limits or powerscaling is irrelevant, she's still able to become Nika.

The fruit is just giving life to a fictional character in the first place

We still don't know if the original Nika wasn't just a story/myth the devil fruit brought to life, its definitely implied.

A laugh tale, Library of Ohara Artur has some great videos going into more detail by explaining the Japanese meanings, he's been the lore authority for like a decade now haha.

Just like how bonney can embody it, it's more of a figure like Luffy is to us in the real world.

But yeah, can't wait till we finally get the void century flashback, been waiting 20 years

The Owl can only enlarge inanimate objects, but yeah that's exactly the kind of solution he can easily introduce. If he wants Loki to join, it isn't hard to make it work.

But the vast majority of fans theorize the Nika fruit was there, shanks and gaban went to check on Harald and saw the aftermath, didn't know about Domi reversi and didn't get the full story from Loki. People assumed he stole the fruit.

We know shanks went and recovered the Nika/gomu from CP9 at sea not long after this, so it makes sense that's what they stole. It fits.

But definitely possible he ate it, to try and keep it safe from the WG

Loki is a chill ass legend, his elitist c*nt noble mom and her family were monsters, and he's had it super rough. I really hope he either joins up with his brother in the fleet or does officially join, I think Yamato rounded the crew off better but they can both join down the line

You realize it's very likely the legendary devil fruit was just the Gomu Gomu right? Nikas fruit? Stolen by CP9, then recovered by shanks. Loki is blamed but obviously he didn't do jack. Also Harald turned Domi Reversi

As for joining up that's an easy fix, we already saw the owl can change books to be giant, wouldn't be hard to have a DF that can swap his size introduced on the ship

Better have Nioh 2 on there haha. It's better combat than all the From games besides Sek, elden was a big step backwards. Khazan is definitely fun, P too. Stellar blade is fun but wouldn't say top tier

Generic online shooter, oh real contender there dudebro streamer 😂

Should totally beat the most impressive turn based rpg in 20 years with one of the best scores, gameplay, story etc of all time.

Like saying fortnite should beat KCD 2 or disco elysium

But then they should have rushed over when it almost vanished after eating the poison fish in whole cake island.

But yeah, it's definitely a possible chekovs gun I just don't think if there's room, blackbeard arc and rescue Garp, elders/Imu, one piece, final war with the fleet all there, unless it happens in one of those that's all that's really left

More like he's a cartoon devil, the pointy tail, pitchfork kind, to parallel Luffys Nika form being the imaginative god like cartoon powers, but the sea devil. Origin of devil fruits in the void century.

He has perennial youth, and physical immortality. He can grant them to his followers like the elders & knights, either just the regeneration or the agelessness, or both like with junko and the elders..but having the mark also allows him to assume control over their body, as he does with junko and Saturn..

He could also have taken over nefertari Lily's body back in the day, hard to say.

He isn't confirmed as a buccaneer.

The only thing we have is Marcos comments during the war, his "unique body type"

We know Blackbeard doesn't sleep either.

For 15 years the theory was a parasitic twin, a Cerberus zoan fruit, so many

Personally I'd love it if he was partially possessed by Xebec, so we could see him in the present day, but he's hardly a villain compared to Teach. As kind of a sinister version of the will of D, instead of dying with a smile and passing their will on, they forcefully possess their heirs, and betrayed the ancient kingdom/Ds back in the day like the Monkey and Water clans

The nobles ask if the Davys are bucaneers too, but it isn't remotely implied or confirmed haha. Not that I don't think it's likely, just that we only have one shithead nobles exclamation for theorizing.

Library of Ohara also cited the original Japanese to clarify it

..page one? Wtf does a bipedal dinosaur have to do with flight? What's crazy is why you think that SHOULD be on the list 😆

Unless you're mixing up dinosaurs, and you're referring to King, a pteranodon..? Which flies?

A spinosaurus is no better at flying than a t rex.

Or, did you mean for swimming haha? In the ocean? Which negates DF powers? I'm so confused by your comment man.

This is a solid list, even includes karasu and smoker, basically covers everyone.

Well now Teach knows the location of Pluton & Poseidon..

I definitely think shirahoshi will stay with the straw hats, he might get Pluton, and the WG already has Uranus nuking islands right now. Whatever Zou qualifies as is also on the Hats side

Can't wait for the mega marineford

Yeah, but that's more like when MGS2 only showed snake on the tanker and didn't show anything about Raiden and big shell, or how MCU trailers edit scenes to remove/include characters.

If you kept seeing shots of verso with the gang it would be obvious Gustave got ganked in act 1

It was clear by 2017 he was never finishing it haha, he doesn't care.

The past 8 years you'd have to be in denial to think it would ever come out haha.

He had during lockdown to get down to work, nope. Meanwhile Sanderson wrote 4 entire books on a whim, unplanned in that time, and 18 others in the 15 years since Dance,.and actually loves doing it.

No, GRRM is croaking before finishing, sorry.

Also..even IF winds releases, the.0001% chance..there's still dream of Spring..which, if he writes at the same pace, will come out in 2045 when he's 100 years old.

It's vaporware. I got into the series in the early 00s, waited for feast and dance, saw the show rise and plummet, I stopped caring about asoiaf a decade ago.

Switch to the Cosmere haha. It's much more rewarding to be a fan
