so I was watching a One Piece AMV when I see this

spoiled for HUGE

Spoiler: show

I'm sure it's already been posted before, but I don't know how I could have missed that connection...

Is there any background/theory about this?

edit: I think it might be shopped into the video, I'm going back through episodes now to verify.
edit2: yeah, it's shopped in there. I got excited and everything... source: chapter 144, page 15

Haha yeah... No but really, I'm gonna need an explanation for that one.

They took Trafalgar's flag and put it over top of Doctor Hiruluk's flag.

Law's flag:

Oh no I was looking for an explanation for the face palm after my comment on having fire and volcano logia as admirals (or I guess vice admirals). It just seems that Akainu was thoroughly more powerful than Ace, so how could the same power stand toe to toe with him in the future?

**Vaspinne** · 2013-03-22 17:40

Because Akainu is Fleet Admiral, not just Admiral anymore. So having Colby as a Fire logia and eventually becoming an Admiral (if it happens) wouldn't really be an issue. They wouldn't be equal in rank, Colby would be below him. They'd never face off against each other either, they're on the same team.

And the facepalm was mainly because of how you worded your retort. I put out this big long explanation and I got a really badly written 1 liner as a first response.

**detlef** · 2013-03-22 19:32

As far as I know the admirals have always essentially stood on relatively even footing, power-wise which is what led me to question how fire and volcano logia could co-exist. However, that's a fair point that Akainu is a higher rank, and should be for the near future. With that said, even if they're all on the same side now, as we've seen, it's not unheard of for the Admirals to fight each other seriously. And with Akainu in charge some kind of inner conflict that shakes the Marine institution seems imminent (or at least possible), especially given the fact that Aokiji had his own supporters before he left (including Sengoku) and that Coby has at least demonstrated a willingness to oppose Akainu. Who knows, Oda has shown us that Coby's abilities are still developing and when he takes the next step, he could find himself in direct conflict with Akainu. Of course this is all speculation but what else is this thread for?

Also you need not get so sensitive over a one-liner that wasn't even meant to challenge anything. Sorry if it came off that way. Face palms are great, but next time you can just post why I'm an idiot first and then we can discuss. I love talking about One Piece.

Mugiwara no Lucy. Shit is about to get real.

**Metta** · 2013-03-27 09:38

This is going to be epic.

**Uzor** · 2013-03-27 10:50

Btw, what's the working theory on the D? in their names? I've been going under the theory that everyone with D. in their name can hold multiple Devil's Fruit, but Iunno.

Anyway, your guess on who will get the Mara Mara fruit? I'm guessing everyone's favourite swordsman, or Luffy.

I think "D"s are the remnants of the descendents of the "nation" destroyed by the World Government/Tenryuubito in the void century...but that's just me

Same here.

I always figured it was the Black Hole power that allowed him to have 2 (or more) fruits. They said he was hunting fruit users so who fucking knows what he can do now.

I remember reading about some crazy ass theory people had about blackbeard having the mythical zoan fruit: Cerberus. Because of his jolly roger and some other stuff. It was interesting but too far fetched.

**xElipsis** · 2013-03-30 15:54

Were you talking about this?

Spoiler: show

**Tajin** · 2013-03-31 07:53

No one from lucy's crew would eat the fruit imo. That leaves lucy, the samurai dudes, or some random guy as options.

**Not Kuno** · 2013-03-31 08:48

Lucy and the Samurai dude already ate a fruit, though.

Yeah although it was a different image. I think there were a few more things, like people commenting on his body structure and someone trying to link shanks 3 claw mark scar.

**xElipsis** · 2013-04-01 14:27

About Shanks' scar:

Spoiler: show

Again, more theory.
