NAMI’S FINAL POWERUP, THE ULTIMATE CLIMA-TACT

[​IMG]

As you know Nami has consistently been fighting with the clima-tact, however i do not believe the clima-tact has reached it’s final form yet. That is why i believe Nami well gain an ultimate clima-tact.

WHAT WILL HER POWER BE
Well i have had 2 ideas

  • The ability to create iron clouds and merge them with her thunder clouds, to create a destructive lightning-

-Ohm’s weapon is made of iron cloudsword

  • She breaks up her new clima-tact; and straps each piece to her body. When this happens, she will be able to release thunder clouds just by moving; however she will gain a lightning tolerance and won’t be affected by the shock. She will then use fishman karate to manipulate the clouds.

I personally think both of these would be good clima-tact power-ups, since they would require little to no charge up time; something that all her attacks need.

FISHMAN KARATE-ENHANCED CLIMATACT
This clima-tact works by Nami breaking up a clima-tact(not the clima-tact she currently has) then strapping each piece to her body. With this she will be able to create different clouds depending on how she moves her body. She can then use fishman karate to create different techniques such as tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning punches

I believe this would be a good power up for Nami for a couple of reasons.

  1. She doesn’t need a huge distance to be effective- for most of her attacks, she needs to keep a distance since it takes a few seconds to create lightning and in those seconds she is very vulnerable. But with the new clima-tact, she won’t need to run away from her opponents to gain distance. Rather she could run towards her opponent; by moving her body she would create more thunderclouds around her, she could then use fishman karate to use enel-like techniques by launching all the lightning clouds at her opponents.
  2. Would increase hand to hand combat, Nami is really bad at this so it would help her a lot; it would also allow her to use CoA more effectively

IRON CLOUD-BASED CLIMA-TACT
This clima-tact works by creating island clouds inside itself, compressing the island clouds; then creating iron clouds, which can be turned into thunder-iron clouds to give them lightning properties. How would she make a clima-tact like this? Well if you didn’t know, island clouds are created by sea stone 

This leads me to believe that she will get a sea stone clima-tact. I believe this is very likely because the SMILE factory is coated in sea stone and when it’s destroyed Franky will most likely take that sea stone to make weapons. I also believe she will use a breath dial, as sea stone only creates island clouds when a certain compound is released due to high temperatures. With this sea stone clima-tact, she will be able to create large amounts of island clouds rapidly. Then due to the narrow space inside the clima-tact, these island clouds would be compressed and turned into iron clouds. She could then spin the iron clouds rapidly to turn them into iron-storm clouds that shoot lightning.
Here are just some of the techniques that she could do with this:

  • iron-lightning blasts; same thing as her wind gusts, but with iron lightning instead.
  • iron-lightning sword; creates a long sword with iron lightning that can be used to fight with
  • iron-lightning island; creates an entire sky island of iron lightning; she could use her clima-tact to launch this island at opponents
  • iron-lightning tornado; creates a tornado of iron lightning. Imagine a regular tornado, then image what would happen if the air inside that tornado was as hard as lightning and shot out electricity

*Theory by Monkey D Theories

    SANJI & ZORO WILL HAVE THEIR SEPARATE ARCS

    During the development of this new chapter (Chapter 814), I think its becoming clearer on how to kinda assume some things for the future of the story regarding Kaido and Big Mom.

    In this chapter, there was a certain scene that gave a good feel of the status of the strawhats, specifically the scene where Zoro and Luffy argued about on whether going to rescue Sanji or not.

    I think that Strawhats would get a vote off (Luffy and Zoro would have a big rift) and the Strawhats would split with one team going to Wano-Kuni and the other group rescuing Sanji, of course, this group is Luffy’s.

    If im gonna give a guess on who goes with Zoro and who goes with Luffy, of course the ones that goes with Zoro are the reasonable ones, the more practical ones (you already can sense it with their dialouges last chapter)

    Zoro = Robin, Ussop and Brook.

    While the guys who would go with Luffy’s group are the emotional first ones.

    Luffy = Nami, Chopper and Franky

    And THIS division is actually really interesting.

    ===========

    First of all, please take at look at the possible group of Zoro which would go through the original mission and go to Wano-Kuni.

    Of course, its never more obvious that they also are going to Kaido’s path.

    Nevermind that for now and focus here, Zoro is gonna be with Robin, Ussop and Brook.

    They are going to Wano-Kuni, and it seems that Zoro’s group references some yokais

    Robin = Robin actually got a lot of possible yokai reference, i’ll just leave it like that.
    Ussop = tengu
    Brook = gashadokuro

    Well of course Zoro is a samurai, and along with Kinemon, Momonosuke and Kanjuuro.

    The question is, who would accompany Zoro’s group?

    Obviously, the clear guys are Law and the Heart Pirates.

    It’s also interesting to note that Fujitora might possibly be in Wano-Kuni (and Jack, Sengoku and Tsuru as well) who also are referenced after some very japanese stuff.

    The possible opponent in wano-kuni? = Kaido or Jack.

    Wano-Kuni would be the biggest spotlight of Zoro. and he would get the first crack against Kaido.

    Which other guy would go with Zoro’s group?

    Nekomamushi.

    ==============

    Now let’s focus on Luffy’s group.

    More than referencing the guys in Luffy’s group, in this group, i believe this determines which people would tag along their group….which some of them also would be involved in Wano-Kuni arc.

    Let’s get this out of the way first, Bonney & X-Drake would appear in this Sanji arc. at least what i believe….because of Big Mom.

    Nami = Absalom & Tashigi
    Franky = Vegapunk
    Luffy = Smoker & Moriah
    Chopper = Hogback & Vegapunk

    Zou would be the biggest spotlight of Sanji and he would get the first crack against Big Mom.

    ============

    Basically the point im making is that i believe Luffy would take a backseat in this Big Mom/Kaido mess and that Zoro and Sanji would shine in these arcs…especially the first parts of the arcs.

    (although at the end Luffy would be the one to end them dont get me wrong, and i believe their alliance will grow with 2 more people with X-Drake & Bonney)

      Oda surprises us again!

      *Chapter 814 Spoilers

      xxxxx

      So many of our latest suspicions were correct in that the Vinsmokes are prominent figures in the underworld. And a twist..they are assassins!! Now we know what the Vinsmokes are. But for them to be only a family of assassins and wield enough power to get an only alive poster for Sanji shows how powerful the head of the family is. And that also means Sanji has two older siblings who must be powerful as well.

      My fascinations from this chapter are:

      1. Why is a family able to have the WG’s and the Yonko’s co-operation at the same time? It’s unprecedented as far as I know.
      2. Why are the WG even co-operating with assassins when they have the Cipher Pol at their disposal?
      3. Cipher Pol don’t seem to be related to the Vinsmokes, Sanji didn’t recognize them at Water 7 or seem to be familiar with them.

      Ultimately, just who are the Vinsmokes and why are they so powerful? They’re playing both sides. Perhaps, they’re Black Mailing the WG?

        Reasons why Caesar Clown will be the next Nakama! Theory

        caesar_clown_by_gbtz007-d608xqw

        -Most people hate Caesar Clown because he is evil, but I will explain why this is justified later on

        -He seems too obvious, since he’s been in plain sight. But this is hiding in plain sight. Oda also said @old Jump Fiesta interview (2009ish) that the next strawhat would be past enemy 

        -He is hated by some of the strawhats, especially Chopper (abusing medication)

        -Good reasons to dislike Caesar, but the question is “Can he be redeemed”. I think he definitely can. but before that…

        Reasons Caesar makes incredible sense

        -He has nowhere to go or be safe. He has nobody who trusts him, and all the Yonkou are after him and his weapons/chemicals. Can’t become ally member

        -Caesar has a dream, much like the other strawhats. He wants to surpass Vegapunk and become the best scientist. This is why he harms people carelessly

        -Was an enemy, like Robin, Nami, Franky, Usopp. Doubted them initially, but it reinforces how much we like them

        -He sort of fits in, and has shown a variety of other emotions aside from just being a psychopath. (Ex: embarrassed by chopper, play-fighting, sanji)

        -Strawhats do not have a scientist or logia yet

        -Caesar is a representation of Vegapunk (Luffy = Roger, Chopper = Hililuk and Crocus, Sanji = Zeff, Usopp = Yasopp)

        -Caesar connects everyone else’s abilites (missing piece to a puzzle)
        ~Finish Sunny with chemicals instead of Cola (Create pluton) sort of like Enel’s electricity
        ~Help Chopper with medication (with chemicals and drugs)
        ~Help Franky by replacing cola (Or can help make cola through sugar chemical) and Franky wants to follow Vegapunks dream
        ~Help Usopp make pesticides and growth hormones for plants
        ~Provide flames and gas for Sanji’s cooking
        ~Something stupid for Luffy, like fireworks or cooking meat with flames.

        -Very powerful (Top 5 in strawhats) he has poison, flames, air, many other elements other logias are limited to loads of potential

        -Potential interest in ancient weapons, since he creates his own weapons
        -Foreshadowing: Got symbol of the Strawhats (Chinese Zodiac signs)

        -Connects to my next point: knows the secrets of SMILE and shinokuni/gas weapons. stopped gas on mink island

        If you are still mad about his evil acts, here’s how he can redeem himself:

        -If you supported Monet, then you should by default support Caesar cuz she was evil as well

        -Since his dream is to become the best scientist, he was doing it in a bad way due to bad influences (Doffy).

        -Never killed people for fun, he believed it was necessary for him dream, and only viewed people as test subjects

        -Luffy and the strawhats have brought him humility, like with Big Mom, so now he is beginning to know human emotions and fear.

        -Similar to other strawhats:
        ~Zoro cut down people for their bounties
        ~Robin betrayed many people and didn’t care if people died as long as she learned about history
        ~Nami stole from people to help her village
        ~Franky stole fortune from Luffy and beat up Usopp to build his dream ship
        Ultimately Luffy saved them and gave them a better way to achieve his dream, like he will do with Caesar.

        -Chopper seems most mad at him. But Chopper was the same, he experimented with monster point drugs and hurt people without realizing it, like Caesar

        -Caesar can help get rid of all the weapons he created, and eventually make the crew like him by changing as a person and achieving his dream in a dif way

        -Caesar never got a flashback, so he can have a very sad past that justifies his initial crazy nature.

        -He will achieve his dream just like the rest of the strawhats by becoming best scientist, stopping his chem weapons, and learning about ancient tech.

            THE DEVIL FRUIT AWAKENINGS FOR THE STRAWHAT PIRATES

            [​IMG]

            GOMU GOMU NO MI: THE BOUNCY HOUSE OF DOOM

            There is a reason I started with this one and it’s because it is the easiest to justify. Luffy’s awakening will be simple. It will be the ability to make the environment elastic to match his body. I will even go a step further and say initially he will be only able to turn a small area around where he is touching rubber at any one time. Eventually developing that to  Doflamingo’s level of turning an entire town.​

            And there are many reasons why I went with such a simple awakening idea for the Gomu Gomu no Mi.

            1. Luffy’s powers have always been on the surface, underwhelming. It has never been a power that grants the user automatic strength, like a powerful logia or something like Law’s fruit. In many ways, it’s close to Doflamingo, in that the power itself isn’t inherently amazing, but with a creative user, it can be terrifying. So it stands to reason that its awakening will also be on the surface, very simple, but again it will be how Luffy uses it in combat that makes the big difference.
            2. Oda has said Luffy’s powers will always revolve around stretching and contracting. He has said several times it’s why he gave his protagonist those type of powers, because he could have fun with changing his shape all the time. So I don’t expect the awakening to suddenly give him skills and abilities that don’t relate to stretching, such as producing random electricity or super saiyan like transformations and other, frankly imho, ridiculous ideas.​
            3. Luffy has always been about physical combat. Punching and kicking. It would make more sense that his awakening would somehow facilitate his chosen fighting style, not over power it and give him an all new fighting style. He will always be punching and kicking. So the awakening on its own, shouldn’t be the central focus.​

            [​IMG]

            HANA HANA NO MI: MOTHER NATURE

            First of all, and most importantly, this picture of Robin is sexy as FUCK! Now, onto the awakening.

            Robin’s fruit is really fun to speculate with. There are so many ways you can build it and still fall within current knowledge on awakening, yet still create a completely viable fighting style. My favourite,  and the one I’m using here is that Robin will eventually use her awakening to use plants.

            Like Luffy, and by Doflamingo’s explanation, Robin will learn to duplicate or bloom objects other than herself. Because this has so many viable possibilities one could focus on, it was fun to speculate but I settled on plants as her awakened usage of choice because it fits her theme and the fruit name.

            Oda stretched her fruit’s name to include “Blooming like a flower” into its theme. This was intentional because I believe he always intended for Robin to use plants as her eventual weapon
            First let’s look at Robin’s Personal Jolly Roger than Oda created.

            [​IMG] [​IMG]

            Note that the one on the right is as it is Post timeskip. And we know this is significant  because of how Oda addressed this in the SBS.

             

            He makes it clear that each Jolly Roger had to be done a particular way. So I think there is meaning behind this choice. And what he adds to the Jolly roger is a flower backdrop and some seeds. I think Robin will awaken her fruit and eventually build her fighting style around using plants. A further foreshadowing of this maybe from Dressrosa with her Hanagasa move.

            [​IMG]

            But more so than regular plants, which have very little offensive prowess, I believe Robin will learn and assimilate Usopp’s current skill of Pop Greens and use it for herself. Being able to use an army of carnivirous plants and unlike Usopp, use her power to duplicate each individual plant.

            This ties into the Jolly Roger depicting seeds and a flower as Robin’s new backdrop. Whereas Usopp has to use a seed for each plant, her awakening will give her a freedom and potential with Pop Greens that Usopp could never reach with them. She could bloom them on any surface, even at a distance from where she blooms the first plant.

            And maybe even take handful of seeds and duplicate the seeds in another hand further away and grow them there.  A potentially limitless supply of Pop Greens at her fingertips.

            I do not believe that Usopp’s current fighting style will be what he uses until the end of the series because he has very little room for growth in it. Imagine him trying to use Pop Greens against people like Van Augur or Yassop. Plants with no haki or superspeed. They would laugh it off.

            So in this theory Robin becomes the wielder of the Pop Greens and she could eventually work poisonous and gigantic growth plants into her powers. This is the most fun to me, so I personally love it.
            Although duplicating weapons would be cool too. ​

             

            [​IMG]
            HITO HITO NO MI: THE MONSTER WITHIN Monster Point!! FREAKING MONSTER POINT!!!! Bigger than he currently achieves with Rumble Balls, bigger than the average Giant as well. Just an all around massive form. Tremendous power, durability and resilience. And before you say a Giant is not a human so it can’t be the awakening, please draw your attention to the other Human Fruit in the series, Sengoku’s Buddah:
            [​IMG]

            If Sengoku can get a Giant form then so can freaking Chopper dammit. And based on the wiki’s description of an awakened zoan, the transformations are usually bigger than the normal zoan transformations to correspond with the increased power. Therefore, I see no reasonwhy not.Chopper can get a giant version of a human for his awakening. Hell, Giants are essentially human in the series, just bigger. Awakened Chopper will be a bigger, giant sized version of Monster Point that’s larger and more powerful and gets all the perks of an awakening. And by EoS he will be San Juan Wolf size.

            Turning into a human being, is BORING!!!! Come on, admit it. So for me, Awakened Monster Point is the pinnacle transformation for Chopper. Would be amazing. And finally,

            [​IMG]
            YOMI YOMI NO MI: THE SHINIGAMI

            Kind of a misnomer, but the name is so damn cool, so who cares?!! No I don’t think his awakening will be Death while his power is Life or some kind of two sided Yin and Yang thing that he is unaware of. But when I was making this I had to ask myself what is Brooke’s power? It’s so undefined what its true capabilities are. I mean who expected what he has shown with it so far Post-timeskip?
            So to start, let me build on what his abilities are.

             

            So expanding upon that, I believe Brooke’s fruit imbues his soul with a powerful energy, that he is only now learning to manipulate. This energy has the ability to sustain life itself, as well as a freezing effect, when applied to other things through attacks. Making the assumption that this energy is like an “life” energy, then we can theorize that all living things in One Piece have some of this energy, althought likekly not as strong as Brooke’s, within them.

            Thus, Brooke has been given the gift to control it and use its power. But currently, he is limited to himself only. Expanding this again, based on Doflamingo’s explanation, Brooke will extend his control of this energy to everything around him during awakening. Granting the ability to bestow upon and take this energy from other living things and the environment. As a restriction, he probably won’t be able to take it from living beings unless willingly.

            The two fold power of this will influence both skills of fighting Brooke currently uses. His swordsmanship and his music. By bestowing this energy upon other things that are dead, he may be able to cause a temporary revival and be able to control these revived beings outright. But also he may be able to connect to the soul of someone that he is fighting and have an even greater control of their will through music.

            And for his physical abilities, he could take this energy from the area around him, basically increasing the speed, power and level of freezing effect from his swordsmanship. Also granting him reconstructive abilities far beyond where he currently is and what he can maintain with his own soul energy.

            Basically Brooke’s awakening could unlock a tremendous amount of skills he doesn’t currently have.

            WHO WILL AWAKEN FIRST?/WILL THEY ALL AWAKEN?

            A very tricky question. Technically speaking, they don’t ALL have to awaken, but to me, will they or won’t they, depends how much further you think their fruit can develop and how much other skills in the One Piece world can benefit them overall, that the need for awakening may not even be necessary.

            For Luffy, it’s almost a given he will awaken at some point. He is the protagonist and he has to be the strongest he possibly can be in the crew. So it makes sense for his awakening to at least be considered almost guaranteed.

            For Robin, she is SO RELIANT on her DF, and after coming back from time with Revolutionaries with only knowledge of haki and not having awakened it herself, you begin to wonder if she is even destined to have it. More than even Luffy, I think Robin is the one out of the four that REALLY needs to awaken and is probably the most likely one at the moment.

            For Chopper, even though I believe Monster Point is him using an imperfect form of his awakening, and he has mastered his fruit through drugs to a high level, there could still be loads of room in all his points as they currently are. Furthermore, with Electro being a possible future powerup for him, he may not even need to be in the discussion ofr awakening just yet. His is the most flexible. It probably relies most of all on when the strawhats may be faced with a situation of fighting against a bunch of giant enemies at once with no chance to team up on the giants. Chopper could awaken around then.

            And finally Brooke I believe is a LONG way from this. His mastery over his fruit is pretty poor, only now learning in the last 2 years after having it for 50+, that he could leave his body and that it could freeze things. I feel he has not mastered his fruit enough to expect an awakening any time soon, but it could be useful if it plays out how I described it.

            So as of right now, I think Robin is most likekly to awaken first. She has the level of mastery over her fruit currently, that suggest she is approaching its pinnacle before awakening as she has so much feats of ingenuity with its usage. As well as power with her Giant limbs that she unlocked. There doesn’t seem much mroe to explore unless Oda literally turns it into a “Numbers” game,
            and just gives her more and more limbs for her limit.

            Luffy has more to explore with haki and Gear 4 before awakening becomes the next thing to learn. He likely won’t awaken until after mastering Gear 4 which won’t be for awhile. Chopper, like I said, can explore more drugs and Electro, if he gets it, for awhile as a powerup. Awakening is not entirely necessary at this juncture. Brooke, however, I think will be last, just because of how much more he needs to develop his DF, Music and Swordsmanship skills before we get to that point. And yes, I think they will all awaken, but it will be spread out significantly over time.

            Well, thank you for reading.

            *Theory by TheConqueror

              ZOU, THE LIVING PONEGLYPH

              I made a couple conclusions after thinking about last chapter:

              – Unless Oda is being a massive troll, we can assume Sanji got captured in some way.

              Immagine16
              – It’s confirmed that Jack is no longer on Zou.
              – The Mink (other than the guards) seemed rather relaxed. That leaves me to believe that there is no IMENENT threat to them as of right now. Also meaning there is no major antagonist on the island at this very moment.
              – Chopper was dressed up as a King and the Strawhats were welcomed like royalty with banquet and all.

              Following these conclusions i started thinking about what is left to do on Zou. Zou seems like too unique of an island to just hop on, find out about Sanji, and then hop off to go find him. Even if Nami presumes Sanji is dead instead of just captured, Luffy and Zoro (we all know Zoro and Sanji secretly have a bromance) would leave for revenge immediately imo.

              So there’s no threat or antagonist right now and when everyone is filled in about Sanji next chapter the Strawhats won’t have time to celebrate with the Mink for too long. Is that all there will be to Zou?

              My answer is no and here is why i think why:

              I think Zou, or Zunisha, is a living poneglyph. Not like any other poneglyph where text is inscribed into a special rock/stone. The “poneglyph” im talking about is Zunisha’s memory. Zunisha is a ancient elephant that lived over a thousand years. As everyone concluded by now, Zunisha was around during the void century 800 years ago. It experienced what happened during that time. Specifically what happened to the Minkmen during this age.

              One of the characteristics of elephants is that they have an amazing memory. I’d say this is needed if u want to recall something that happened 800 years ago. Is it a coincedence that the ancient creature who was around during the void century, also has this characteristic unique to it’s species? It might be, but i’d like to think not.

              So poneglyphs are normally Robin’s specialty, but in this case it’s time for Chopper to shine. Chopper hasn’t really had much spotlight in the New World. The only thing of importance he has done in the NW is taking care of the kids on Punk Hazard. I think it’s about time for him to get a moment of great significance.

              As we all know, Chopper can talk to animals. Correct me if i’m wrong here, but i believe Chopper is the only creature in the One Piece world that can communicate with ALL other living creatures. That also means he is the only one who could translate between animals and humans or translate from Zunisha to Robin and the rest. Is it a coincedence that the only one who could possibly translate Zunisha’s memories is a Strawhat? Maybe, but the coincedences are stacking up.

              I even believe it’s possible that Chopper has already spoken to or translated for Zunisha and that’s the reason why Chopper is dressed as a King.

                What happened to Sanji?

                At the end of the last manga chapter, Chopper and Nami were shown and they appeared to be safe and in good hands. The fate of Sanji, Brook, Momonosuke and Caesar are still unknown but Nami seems to have grave news. He hugged Luffy as soon as he saw him and she was crying. Zoro was shown to notice something on Nami before all of this happened but the chapter ended at that moment.

                Immagine

                A lot of people seem to agree that something bad has happened to Sanji and that whatever happened involved a fight against Jack of some sort. Some of the theories predict that Sanji was captured by Jack and subsequently the Marines or that after a tough battle his life is now so close to death that not even Chopper can save him. What do you think? What happened to Sanji? And where are Brook, Momonosuke and Caesar?

                  Pedro & his importance for the Zou Arc

                  Pedro is going to be very influential with this arc. This is a fact. Oda has pointed to this on several occasions already and he’s only made brief cameos.

                  There are several locations in Zou that label parts of Zunisha the elephant. The 806th chapter is titled “at the Fort on the Right Belly”. There are also locations on Zunisha including: Right Rump Forest, Right Flank Forest and Kurao City is on the Left Belly. Why is this significant? Well, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we must look at Kanjurou’s cat called Nekozaemon

                  [​IMG]

                  The name translates to Guardian Cat. The popular names Jinzaemon and Mataemon mean Left Guardian and Right Guardian. Zou is geographically mapped with reference to the left and right sides of Zunisha. This clearly means Oda is referencing and linking the Forest Guardians to the geography of the Island. More specifically, the Guardian Cat. This Guardian Cat is none other than Pedro

                  [​IMG]

                  Pedro is cleaarly one of the Guardians of the forest. He clearly also has authority over Blackback and Roddy, two of the other Forest Guardians, as we can see in chapter 805 as he commands the guardians to leave.

                  [​IMG]

                  Therefore, he’s clearly an incredibly authoritative and likely powerful character and figure amongst the Mink tribe.

                  Nekomamushi is “the big boss” of the Island, as we learnt in the most recent chapter.

                  [​IMG]

                  Due to the fact the name includes the word Neko, or “Cat”, Pedro and Nekomamushi are likely to be related. Of course, this isn’t the only instance where Oda has used animal characteristics in names. Wanda is a play on the onomatopoeia of a Dogs bark, Carrot is clearly associated with Rabbits, amongst other examples is Blackback being a play on the word of Silverback. Oh, and I must also note that Pedro means Rock.

                  This parallels with the Lion King story. Why? Well, we have Pedro, a Lion, who’s name means rock

                  [​IMG]

                  and we have a father figure as well. The Dukedom of Zou has been overrun by Jack and completely razed to the ground by Jack. This lightly parallels at Scar, who fought with Simba, the plotline is to take back the Pride Rock for his own. Jack is likely heir to the throne the same way Simba was, based upon his relation with Nekomamushi. Jack fought Pedro and eventually captured him. This, we know, is because of all the claw marks and the scene in Wandas flashback from this chapter

                  [​IMG] [​IMG]

                  And yes, before anyone starts making strange remarks about him being a Tiger. A tiger has stripes, Pedro does not. Pedro shares several features with Lions. This includes the following:

                  • Pedro’s long hair is basically a Lions mane
                  • Pedro has long lower canines, as do Lions
                  • They have the same mouth style and shaped ears
                  [​IMG]

                  So in conclusion: Pedro is the heir to rule Zou, but he’s been deposed by someone, the likely arc villain. His father is Nekomamushi, the current King/the recently dethroned King. Pedro is the strongest Forest Guardian and the most authoritative of them all. He is inspired by Simba from the Lion King and has a tumultuous past. He’s incredibly important to the Zou arc.

                    Strawhats’ favorite dishes to cook

                    D: In the Straw Hat Crew, Sanji is obviously the one who is the best at cooking, but who else is good at cooking? What is everyone’s speciality dish?

                    P.N. I created the praying mantis rooster.

                    O: Well then, I’ll be presenting to you what each member is best at making.

                    SBS79 2 Straw Hat Cooking

                    (Luffy: Raw Meat on a Plate, Zoro: Sashimi, Nami: Roasted Duck with Orange Sauce, Usopp: Fish & Chips, Chopper: Mixed Juice, Robin: Boiled Paella, Franky: Barbecue, Brook: Churrasco)

                    Sanji is the best at cooking seafood, but he is overall good at making just about anything. Also, this has to do with how these characters grew up, but generally the ones other than Sanji who can actually do some decent cooking would be narrowed down to pretty much Nami, Usopp, and Robin.

                    Other members can pretty much just kind of slice, roast, and mix ingredients.

                    Oh, also, Nami’s cooking requires a premium fee even among crew members.
