Going Luffy-senpai

Basically, the ship’s design is based on both Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates’ former flag ship, the Going Merry. On the ship’s deck is a large pedestal with a glass dome holding a piece of Luffy’s Vivre Card. In Bartolomeo’s room, the Straw Hats’ wanted posters (with updated images from after the timeskip), as well as a few of their signatures, are framed and put on display.

    RYOKUGYU’S DEVIL FRUIT POWERS

    To begin, we have to look at the possible patterns Oda is trying to implement in the new trio of Admirals. The two obvious ones to me are:

    – Physics based
    – Each with their own type of fruit

    Lots of people think that Ryokugyu will have a Bull or Minotaur Zoan, which I don’t believe makes any sense. For starters, none of the Admirals have powers that are in any way related to the Animal half of their code names. And secondly because we’ve already seen a Minotaur (Minotaurus in Impel Down), who also ate the Ushi Ushi no Mi, and Dalton has been shown with his Bison fruit which is also very similar. Having such a weak fruit in comparison to the other Admirals would be very undermining and to be quite honest; disappointing.

    Patterns of the Admirals
    All Admirals have a codename comprised of two parts. A colour that reflects or relates to their abilities, and an animal which relates to their personality. So far we’ve seen:

    – Kuzan, named Aokiji (Blue Pheasant), with the power of the Hie Hie no Mi and a rather lazy temperament, although always with justice in mind. He follows Lazy Justice
    – Borsalino, named Kizaru (Yellow Monkey), with the power of the Pika Pika no Mi, he’s very unpredictable and acts in his own interests. He follows Selfish Justice
    – Sakazuki, named Akainu (Red Dog), with the power of the Magu Magu no Mi. Sakazuki is an absolutist and extremely radical, you could even say unrelenting. He follows Absolute Justice
    – Issho, named Fujitora (Whisteria Tiger), with the power of his unnamed Gravity fruit, he’s very instinctive and will do what he feels is right, and it’s not always a just cause. He follows Blind Justice​

    So we’re left with just Ryokugyu which means Green Bull. Green, as we in western culture see it is a very calming colour. However, in Japan Green is regarded as a demonic colour. This is why Zoro’s hair is green as he is commonly regarded by other characters as demonic.

    Due to his or her name, we can gather that Ryo’s power will relate to the colour green and that his personality is likely very spontaneous and/or aggressive. Since his powers relate to the colour green and he will fit a pattern as previously mentioned being either science related or a Zoan fruit (as Borsalino has a Logia and Issho has a Paramecia).

    The Scientific Possibility
    Borsalino’s power is Light. Issho’s power is Gravity. Hence it’s probable that Ryo will have a science based fruit relating to the colour Green. Personally, I think of Radiation. The spontaneity of Radiation also matches his personality. One of the main archetype of Justice yet to be followed by an Admiral is “Corrupt Justice”, which green CAN represent in some cultures. And since Radiation can effect the properties of different elements or substances, this can be seen as “corruption”.

    The Radiation fruit would be a Paramecia and allow Ryo to create Radioactive waste from his body, and produce endless quantities. This would be a formidable power for the following reasons:

    1. Fighting him/her, even being close to him/her would be dangerous and incredibly risky

    2. Radiation has a plethora of uses. It can be extremely destructive and corroding as seen with Nuclear Bomb blasts but also has Medical properties such as X-Rays

    [​IMG]

    3. Upon ignition the fruit could be more explosive than any Magu Magu no Mi or Hie Hie no Mi attack
    4. He can weaken opponents through mere contact, much like Crocodile

    [​IMG]

    5. By contaminating the area around him, much like Magellan, he will become much harder to fight

    Damn son. That’s one helluva Devil Fruit!

    The Zoan Possibility
    As the Pika Pika no Mi and Issho’s fruit are of different types, it’s possible that Ryo’s power will be a Zoan. The last type to be seen in an Admiral (And Sengoku doesn’t count!). Given the name and colour, I deduced two things: Zoans relating to green are either Reptiles of today or prehistoric, or Mythical. The prospect of a Mythical Zoan is quite appealing, and would most likely be far more overpowered and worthy than an Ancient or regular Zoan. Given the animal in his codename is “Bull”, with the common urban legend that Bulls panic or attack when they see red (out of fear), I believe his weakness could be intense heat. Another of the archetypes of Justice Oda has yet to explore is “Pacifistic/Peaceful Justice”, a theme Green CAN represent depending on culture.

    What is weak to heat and green?

    [​IMG]

    Yeah. Ryo could be a Tree-Ent Zoan. With the ability to transform partially or fully into a sentient tree… Doesn’t sound great, but it’s powers certainly are

    1. Ability to grow trees and other forms of plant life almost instantaneously

    [​IMG]

    2. This can be used for both offensive and defensive means, the possibilities are limitless
    3. It would have medical properties, as most medicines contain ingredients from plants

    [​IMG]

    4. He/she will be able to absorb water, one of his own weaknesses, similar to Crocodile
    5. Self regenerating, although at a slower rate than Marco, afterall, Trees can grow

    [​IMG]

    That’s also extremely powerful

    [​IMG]

    Is this foreshadowing?

    [​IMG] There is an Elephant, Sakazuki is growing a plant and a large tree in the background

    Conclusion:
    Ryokugyu will have one of two possible fruits: The Radiation Fruit (Aru Aru no Mi – Abbreviation of Alpha phoneticised to Japanese pronunciation) or the Tree Ent Fruit (Tsuri Tsuri no Mi). Either one is incredibly overpowered and versatile for offence, defence and medical purposes. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed
