    Nakama Theory

    I know how much a lot of people hate Nakama theories these days and understandably so because there are always so many circling around. But I’m currently re-reading the One Piece Manga and I’ve had some interesting thoughts about who the future Nakama could be. For the purpose of this theory, please keep in mind that Oda stated in an SBS from near the start of the Dressrosa Arc that we had already seen all of the future Strawhat Pirates.

    For hypothetical purposes of this theory, Jinbe is the 10th Strawhat crew member

    [​IMG] , NOTICE THE KID WITH THE 10 ON HIS SHIRT

    as this will be focusing on the 11th Strawhat crewmate. Hooray! A Nakama theory that doesn’t revolve around Pekoms or Carrot or Wanda!

    [​IMG]

    I think Choppers words will ring true for the 11th Crewmate as well. So to speak, I think the Strawhats will have two ex-Shichibukai crewmates by the end of the Manga. Who though? Well, this brings me to the recruitment pattern as many people know. To re familiarise yourself:

    • Sea 1: East Blue: Zoro (Male recruit – 1), Nami (Female recruit – 2), Usopp (Male recruit – 3), Sanji (Male recruit – 4)
    • Sea 2: Paradise: Chopper (Male recruit – 5), Robin (Female recruit – 6), Franky (Male recruit – 7) Brook (Male recruit – 8)
    • Sea 3: New World: Jinbe (Male Recruit – 9), ????? (Female recruit – 10), ????? (Male recruit – 11), ????? (Male recruit – 12)

    Now, this means the 10th recruit will be female and is the character I’m going to theorise. There is a set criterium needed for this and as I said, she’s likely to be an ex Shichibukai when she joins. Now, why do I think Boa Hancock might join the Strawhats? Well if we consider other female characters we know who the Strawhats are great friends with:

    • Vivi – far too weak for the New World, she also has outright said she cannot leave Alabasta
    • Rebecca – Has chosen to live a life of secrecy with her father Kyros
    • Viola – Is the next Queen of Dressrosa and now, with Doffy gone, has no reason to leave Dressrosa

    ——————

    But Hancock is different. She could quite easily leave Kuja and the Kuja Pirates. In fact there are two reasons as to why she would join the Strawhat Pirates out of logic, not even taking into account personal motivations. Firstly, the Tattoo

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hancock has explicitly said that if the Tattoo is uncovered then she will have to leave the country, in fact, she would be compelled to leave the country. And where would she go if she wanted to leave (which is not outside the realms of possibility)? To her beloved Strawhat Luffy’s ship of course!

    The second logic lies in an assumption that the Shichibukai system will be abolished like Issho has exclaimed his goal is:

    This being said, would make Hancock an Ex-Shichibukai, given it’s going to be a long time until the likes of Jinbe and Hancock join the crew. Hancock used her Shichibukai status to protect the country, and having lost that title, the only other way to protect it is under the name of a Yonko or incredibly powerful Pirate, whom Luffy will one day become. Thus, she can use her membership of the crew to protect her sisters and her homeland. And, unlike Viola and Vivi who have nobody else to inherit the throne, Hancock can pass it over to several different candidates. This is because the Kuja monarchy is actually an elected office.

    The candidates are as follows:

    • Gloriosa, the former incumbent of the throne
    • Sandersonia, the next eldest sister whom, if she remains, can inherit the throne as protocol
    • Marigold, for the same reasons as Sandersonia if both Hancock and Sandersonia leave
    • Kikyo, the most authoritative and powerful citizen of Kuja besides Gloriosa
    • Ran, the most powerful Kuja Pirate member besides the Boa sisters themselves

    This therefore allows Hancock to leave if she wants to, which is perfectly possible if her past is uncovered by residents of the island.

    ——————–

    Hancock also retains some crucial criteria. She may possibly have a dream that directly opposes the World Government, as she was herself a former slave of a Tenryuubito. Although we haven’t got a confirmed dream it’s likely to be revolved around Slavery. This makes sense when you consider the compatibility with other dreams of some of the Strawhats: namely Luffy (Pirate King), Robin (Void Century), Franky (Dream Ship to reach Raftel) and possibly Jinbe (Racial parity). It’s sufficient enough to say she hates the world government and has the substance needed to have some kind of dream that can only be achieved under the wing of the Pirate King.

    ———————
    Without going into too much detail and as I’ve written probably a million times before by this point, to be a Strawhat also requires some close inspiration from external sources, whether it be real life, novels etc. Oda closely follows these designs far more passionately in comparison to other characters who are normally loosely designed at best, if at all, on other sources. Hancock is one of a select few characters with intense inspiration that Oda has strictly followed. Hancock is incredibly reminiscent to her inspirations to a similar extent that the Strawhats are. You’d be sitting here reading several more lengthy paragraphs, all nearly 300 words long at least, about the incredible lengths Oda goes to to design the Strawhats, here’s the list, but please just take my word for it, it saves us all a lot of time:

    • Monkey D. Luffy – Young Eiichiro Oda and Sun Wukong
    • Roronoa Zoro – Francois L’Ollonais and Don Diego De la Vega aka El Zorro
    • Nami – Cat Woman and Miriam Karlin (Catlady from A Clockwork Orange)
    • Usopp – Aesopp and The Boy Who Cried Wolf
    • Sanji – Romeo Montague and Steve Buscemi (Mr Pink from Reservoir Dogs)
    • Tony Tony Chopper – Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Waylon Jones (DC Comics)
    • Nico Robin – Cinderella and Alexandra Kollontai
    • Franky – Ace Ventura and Popeye the Sailorman
    • Brook – A character from ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ poem and Jimi Hendrix
    • Jinbe – Whale Sharks and Taiho Koki

    This being said, Hancock is also designed on two sources of inspiration, and intensely so. But who and how?

    Medusa

    [​IMG]

    Penthesilea

    [​IMG]

    The most obvious links are the fact that she is the “Snake Princess” and has the ability to turn onlookers into Stonewith her Mero Mero no Mi. Constantly in the company of Salome, this is a clear nod to Medusa whom also had two sisters, just like Hancock. In fact, Medua is described as being “almost two meters tall” and extremely intimidating for a female humanoid, Boa Hancock is 1.92m tall. And if this wasn’t enough, they both live on islands where no men can go (Sarpedon and Kuja), both Islands names even have links! They’re both genus’ of butterflies and moths! Geez Oda! (Oh yeah, and Hancock has the “Gorgons eye” on her back)

    And if that wasn’t enough: Penthesilea was the queen of the Amazon Warriors from Greek Mythology. She was enslaved as a child by Persians but she later escaped with two of her sisters. Since the Kuja are referred to as Amazons, there’s a clear enough link, but then you also have to consider the fact Penthesilea is sometimes referred to as the greatest female archer, which by the way is a nod to her Devil Fruit abilities again. In fact, Penthiselea is one of 13 named Amazonians in the lost poem; the Aethiopis, there are 13 named Kuja Pirates: Hancock, Marigold, Sandersonia, Ran, Daisy, Cosmos, Rindo, Fan, Marguerite, Sweat Pea, Alphelandra and Gloriosa (ex member).

    —————–
    Many people say that somebody like Monet could be the female Nakama, but I disagree for one crucial reason: The female Nakama are normal women by design. The male Nakama seem to be getting more and more excessive, as is the trend you can see here:

    • 1.Monkey D. Luffy, Normal Human, Gomu Gomu no Mi
    • 2.Roronoa Zoro, Green Haired Human
    • 3.Usopp, Human with a Tengu nose
    • 4.Sanji, Human with Curly eyebrows
    • 5.Tony Tony Chopper, Sentient Animal, Hito Hito no Mi
    • 6.Franky, Self Designed Cyborg
    • 7.Brook, Living Undead Skeleton, Yomi Yomi no Mi
    • 8.Jinbe, Whaleshark Fishman

    While the trend for Male nakama is becoming more and more extreme, the trend for Nami and Robin and whomever the next Female Nakama is far from it, although they diversify slightly:

    • 1.Nami, Normal Human
    • 2.Nico Robin, Normal Human, Hana Hana no Mi
    • 3.Boa Hancock, Normal Human, Mero Mero no Mi

    Even in terms of design they’re normal, extremely attractive women. They aren’t excessively tall (like Brook, Jinbe and Franky) or small (like Chopper), nor do they have bizarre colorations or blemishes (Zoro, Usopp, Sanji).

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Hancock is just that. An attractive, normal human (duhh, she’s famed for her beauty for gods sake!) being without bizarre characteristics beyond her Devil Fruit powers. This is what makes her an appropriate candidate, unlike Monet who has Wings or Wanda and Carrot who aren’t even Human in the first place.

    —————–

    Have you ever heard of Goroawase?

    Oda has done this with the Devil Fruits within the Strawhat Pirates.

    • Go Mu = 5 6 = Gomu Gomu no Mi – Gum Gum fruit – Monkey D. Luffy
    • Hi To = 1 10 = Hito Hito no Mi – Human Human fruit – Tony Tony Chopper
    • Ha Na = 8 7 = Hana Hana no Mi – Flower Flower fruit – Nico Robin
    • Yo Mi = 4 3 = Yomi Yomi no Mi – Revive Revive fruit – Brook

    Because of this, people assumed that the next Devil Fruit using Nakama will have a Devil Fruit name comprised of 2 and 9, such as the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi

    But, there are several complications to this. The first being that 2 and 9 can be rearranged through many different combinations due to the amount of ways you can say numbers in Japanese. Such examples include the Fuku Fuku no Mi which by the way is the Clothes Clothes Fruit (potentially Kin’emon’s Fruit). You see, it’s not a conclusive piece of evidence to go by at all. Plus, there is the inconsistency of the fact :”Na” can also mean “0”, “Go” can mean “9”, “Mu” can mean “3” and “Mi” can means “2”. This therefore would leave the options of 2,4,5,6,7 and 9 depending on how you rearrange the characters. In fact it’s also possible that Luffy’s fruit is 9 and 6 and 3 while Brooks Yomi Yomi no Mi can be rearranged as 3,4 or 2

    Here is the full list of terms for Goroawase:

    0 maru, ma, rei, re, nai, na, wa, o, zero, ze
    1 ichi, i, hitotsu, hito, hi, bi, pi, fi, wan, a
    2 ni, mi, ji, futatsu, futa, fu, bu, pu, nu, ne, tsu, zu, ju, nyu
    3 san, zan, sa, za, mitsu, mi, mu, ta, da, so, zo, suri
    4 shi, ji, su, zu, yotsu, yon, yo, fo
    5 go, ko, itsutsu, itsu, i, u, ka, ga, ke, ge, faibu
    6 roku, mutsu, mu, me, mo, ri, ru, ro, ryu, shikkusu
    7 nanatsu, nana, na, shichi, chi, te, de, yu, sebun, se, ze
    8 hachi, ha, ba, pa, fa, he, be, pe, fe, yatsu, ya, eito, ei
    9 kyuu, gyuu, ku, gu, kokonotsu, kokono, koko, ko, go, ki, gi, kin, kun, gin, gun, nain
    10 too, to, doo, do, juu, ji, ten, den, te

    Notice the ones I’ve highlighted and increased the size of.
    In fact, Hancock’s Devil Fruit can reside in one number alone. This fixes a major problem with the Goroawase: Oda can’t use all numbers just once between 0 and 10 because that is eleven figures. The Strawhats Devil Fruits can be arranged as:

      • Go Mu = 9 3 = Gomu Gomu no Mi – Gum Gum fruit – Monkey D. Luffy
      • Hi To = 1 10 = Hito Hito no Mi – Human Human fruit – Tony Tony Chopper
      • Ha Na = 8 0 = Hana Hana no Mi – Flower Flower fruit – Nico Robin
      • Yo Mi = 4 2 = Yomi Yomi no Mi – Revive Revive fruit – Brook
      • Me Ro = 6 6 = Mero Mero no Mi – Love Love fruit – Boa Hancock
    • This means that Oda can use all of the numbers in Goroawase by having six devil fruit abilities, the only one left being made of 5 and 7. Hancocks Devil Fruit fits perfectly with the theme.

    The Strawhat Pirates also have a phonetic and alphabetic assortment and pattern to them. You may not have noticed this but each Strawhat Pirate represents a Binary Pair of Letters, assigned by their first name. Most Alphabets in the western world have 26 letters (the only exceptions being Greek and Russian as far as I’m aware), this is perfect considering that there will be 13 Nakama and 26/2 = 13. Each Nakama has their pair of letters, these pairs are in sequence and alphabetical order, in which one letter is the first letter of their name, if you still don’t get what I mean – a visual demonstration will suffice:

    • ABBrook
    • CD – Tony Tony Chopper
    • EFFranky/Cutty Flam
    • GH – Boa Hancock
    • IJJinbe
    • KL – Monkey D. Luffy
    • MNNami
    • OP – ?????
    • QR – Nico Robin
    • ST – Vinsmoke Sanji
    • UV – Usopp
    • WX – ?????
    • YZ – Roronoa Zoro

    Clearly, Boa Hancock fits the pattern with some. This is something else that plays in her favour.
    ———————

    Just a little point here. Wouldn’t it make sense for the Pirate Empress to be on the same ship as a future Yonko (Emperor), something Luffy likely will become before being the Pirate King? The Pirate King and Queen on the same ship also makes a lot of sense.

    ———————–

    Hancock has plenty, and I mean plenty of potential for comedy value with most of the Strawhat crew. Not just Sanji and Luffy as you all likely thought. Of course, we have the obvious ones for Sanji and Luffy

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Moving on to the less obvious ones, we have potential for Hancock being extremely competitive with Nami and Robin to get Luffy’s approval and endearment. As we’ve already seen before in Hancock’s crazy fantasies. This means there could be inter crew hostilities or rivalries just like Sanji and Zoro, it brings much more entertainment factor to the crew than before

    [​IMG]

    Then there’s also the fact there are two more (three more if we’re counting Jinbe) Male Nakama who won’t find her attractive the same way Luffy doesn’t find anything attractive. You see, this has a lot of potential because it will piss Hancock off and provides a lot of comedy value to inter-crew interactions. I am of course talking about Chopper and Zoro. Chopper isn’t into humans and Zoro seems to lack any sort of Libido. Then there’s the opposing trio of Sanji, Franky and Brook. Having already talked about Sanji (who may or may not regularly turn to stone), Franky and Brook would also be easily petrified by her ability. This again, as I’ve repeatedly said would provide a goldmine for Oda in terms of comic effectiveness, it’s even possible that Brook can’t be petrified, we don’t know how it works yet.

    And then there’s Usopp who I quite frankly am unsure about.
    ————————–
    Clearly, Hancock has what it takes to be a Nakama. She has all the substance and material, a potential dream, sad past and a potential reason to join the crew in the first place. She would be hilarious on the Sunny as well and adds some much needed Long-Distance fighting power to the crew. Her Mero Mero no Mi can fit within Oda’s Devil Fruit Goroawase and she’s a former Shichibukai, possibly foreshadowed by Choppers line at the start of the theory.

    Keep in mind I don’t fully support this theory but I found these ideas interesting and intriguing so I decided to present them for your enjoyment anyway.

      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

      [​IMG]

      • 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

            WHY THE STRAWHAT GRAND FLEET WILL BE THE GREATEST

            6963a0ad648ba3724d430c2229b11f86

            I would first like to state that there are a few things that make the StrawHat Grand Fleet different then most fleets we’ve seen so far

            1- They don’t stay together the entire time, each division of Luffy’s fleet travels the New World on their own adventures which will help them develop in different ways.

            2- They all joined Luffy not out of fear but out of respect

            3- A lot of the individual captains/commanders have their own goals/dreams, they might not be as big or important as the straw hats but they are dreams

            1 Cavendish wants to be a star and a great pirate known all over the world
            2 Bartholomeo wants to be of use to Luffy and help him and the crew in every way
            3 Sai wants to raise the happo navy to greatness
            4 Ideo wants to be a great fighter kinda like Ussop wants to be brave warrior
            5 Hajrudin wants to rebuild the giant pirate crew
            6 Leo and co want to help Ussop and Luffy as much as Bartolomeo
            7 Orlumbus seems to love adventure like Luffy

            Now their potential growth is the main point of this theory

            But first i want to bring up one of my theories on kings haki and haki in general. Now i believe the reason why we have not seen a Marine or any strong member of a Yonko’s crew with king haki is because they serve under someone, kings do not serve others. Also ranking systems are in almost every crew or organization in One Piece except the Straw Hats. In this way the Straw Hats are all on equal ground with Luffy, they do not shy from making their opinion known like in most crews, Luffy has been shown to take their advice when making important decisions like with Ussop on Water 7 and Sanji here on Zou.
            With this freedom i believe that the Straw Hats and fleet members are not limited in how strong their haki can be trained and developed. I believe that the fear to constantly please and obey Yonkos like Big Mom and Kadio limits the overall power of someones haki because haki is a form of willpower and fear weakens willpower. In saying that I do not believe Yonko crew members are weak just not as strong as there maximum potential. The Straw Hats and fleet do not serve Luffy like most fleets serve there captains, they assist Luffy in his quest to become pirate king, this change in mind set can cause many of the main fighters to develop new attacks and unlock higher levels of haki like with Ussop when unlocked his coO haki.

            Sai could improve his dragon drill tech adding the power to his staff gain kings haki like Chinjao.
            What if Hakuba is Cavendish’s personal haki demon like the Zoro has and he learned to control him?
            Barto could learn to crate more then one barrier and shape them into weapons animals or other shapes..
            Others could develop spiritual power up like Sanji’s fire, Brook’s ice, Fishman Karate and unknown tech

            Please let me know what you think below

            *Theory by alwaysrollinup

              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)

                Big Mom’s financial problems and her connection to Whitebeard

                Hello once again everyone and welcome back to yet another theory for your entertainment. This time I shall be discussing the money problems of Big Mom and her connection to WB.

                Before I start, have you noticed that Big Mom is the only yonko who seemingly has no quarrels with other yonko? So far in the series, Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Shanks and Kaido all has quarrels with each other. Not only that, Whitebeard and Shanks don’t care about pillaging, Blackbeard and Kaido wants to turn the world upside down and Big Mom is completely gray; she seems to be pure business. Even the islands she protects is a matter of business.

                Back to the main topic, money seems to be a key theme with Big Mam. She lent money to Caesar for his research.

                Two of Big Mom’s ships has been destroyed and apparently she and her crew needed alot of cash to get them fixed, directly hinting struggling finances.

                And no we have Miss Bakking who only looks at money……do I even need to explain her similarities to Big Mam and her crew? If you do, I’m seriously questioning your perception….

                Same sunglasses

                Same hat as Lola

                Now then, Miss Bakking is obviously apart or was apart of Big Mam’s crew, but why is she traveling around with Edward Weeble? This brings up 3 questions:

                1. Why is Miss Bakking and Weeble playing off as WB’s son and spouse?

                Because WB and Big Mam had an alliance due to marriage. Pay attention to rings on Big Mam’s and Bakking’s fingers(and bracelets…lots of Jewelry)

                Now look at the jewelry and hat that one of WB’s pirate allies is wearing.

                This elderly woman’s name is Elmy and she is an infamous NW captain and was in an alliance with WB. Not a member, just an ally. She was loyal enough to help WB rescue Ace and attend their funerals. Now does it makes sense that both Big Mam and WB are called “mama and papa” by their crew members? Not only that, have you noticed that there are no female fighters in WB’s main crew? Could just be his overprotective nature(daddy’s little girl).

                Anyways, why would Big Mom have a marriage alliance with WB? Who knows….maybe because she wanted Fishman Island sweets but because it was WB’s territory, she couldn’t strong-arm them to a satisfactory degree unless she made an alliance with WB? After WB died, Big Mam took control of Fishman Island for them sweets.

                2. Why is Miss Bakking obsessed with money?

                I have 2 reasons why: either Miss Bakking is in charge of collecting Big Mom’s funds(Bakking means “fine” or “penalty”) or she has her own agenda. I’m more inclined to believe in the latter because why would Big Mom target the WB remnants for money? Sure she may spend alot but she can just raid a town for cash.

                3. Who IS Edward Weevil?

                For starters, Weevil only became known to the world during the two years the SHs were absent. Weevil’s 480 million bounty is the result of defeating WB allies and causing civilian casualties. Also, WB allies were only defeated because their disputes with Weevil got out of hand. Miss Bakking never planned on Weevil becoming a shichibukai, but

                PURE SPECULATION
                The day Weevil was revealed, I said Weevil was a modified human due to his stitches similar to Absalom. The only person we know of that can modify human bodies is Doctor Hogback so did Weevil come from Thriller Bark? Did Miss Bakking give Moriah Lola in exchange for Weevil? Did Moriah and Bakking plan everything from the get go? Does this explain why Moriah was so pressed about WB in Marineford?

                CONCLUSION and FINAL THOUGHTS
                -I believe Miss Bakking and Weevil will show up at the tea party
                -Big Mom seems to have problems with money and the SHs have a member who is very good with that

                -WB and Big Mom were in an alliance but since WB is dead, Miss Bakking is collecting the payment and is currently after Luffy to find Marco.

                -I think Moriah would return sometime during the tea party

                -Nami has Big Mam’s vivre card so will that play a role in the future?

                -Lastly, Big Mom is after Luffy because he owes her candy. Big Mom is all business and hates people who doesn’t keep their end of the deal.

                -Lastly, I think Weevil is going to become an ally of Luffy. Doesn’t Miss Bakking and Weevil seem familiar?

                And who stopped them?

                    *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?
