[Discussion] It wouldn't have mattered if they saved Robin

[chopstickchakra]

Think about it, Ace was captured at Alabasta and wasn't set for execution until after Water 7/Ennies Lobby. That's a good bit of time. So say they missed Robin she goes to Imple Down, SH's learn where they take here in the process Luffy hears they also have Ace. Luffy breaks into Imple Down as he would have anyway and now saves Robin, Franky and Ace simultaneously. Either way Robin would live and Luffy would go to Imple Down.

No, that wouldnt have made the point how the strawhats care about their nakama.

 

[Punk Hazard]

So leave her to be tortured in the world's worst prison, or save her right away? Some friend you'd be.

Didn't say it would.

Never said anything even close to that, ever since you changed your name you seem to have gotten a lot worse at comprehension. Since I need to spell it out for you, I said if they had failed at rescuing her at Ennies Lobby it wouldn't have mattered because Luffy ends up going to Imple Down anyway if they had failed at saving Robin then he'd have gotten there sooner and saved her from ID. Did you catch all of that this time?

Yes that would've worked if the could look into the future.

Besides, without Robin the events might have been different. They might've never beaten Moria on TB, or maybe even faster. They might do a better job of hiding themselves on sabaody and not get split up by Kuma. That way Luffy wouldn't meet Boa and there would be noway for him to save any of his friends.

So this plan would most likely fail because you can't predict the future.

The Marines could've ended the era of pirates by killing baby Roger

I mean Ace was a bigger criminal than Robin & the son of friggen Gol D Roger.
They had to make sure his death was big and accordingly.

Robin's kind of like a small fry to them.
They would of probably had her execution read to go before Ace's.

I made a very similar thread, almost identical to this last year...

What makes you think the execution would go the same way?
Robins would have most likely been one of the taken behind the sheds and shot kind of things.
Ace's was public for a reason.

Robin has been being hunted since age 8 by the World Government as one of the only ones who could revive the ancient weapons which if done would be treason in the WG eyes equal to the revolutionary army. I'm fairly certain they would have made a show about it if they had the ability to execute her.

Plus like most nobles they prefer the grandiose rather than the practical or else they would have killed Ace quietly. The world didn't know Ace was Rogers son until the execution broke down, they never had any intention of telling anyone, it got so big because he was a WB commander. They wanted to make a show of it instead of like you said and just getting it over with.

If Luffy never saved Robin, he wouldn't have met Aokiji and got his ass kicked. Without that happening, he wouldn't have gotten stronger to protect his nakama. Also that would mean no Enies Lobby arc either and when the f*ck was Ace captured in the Alabasta arc? That was in post-enies lobby arc.

True, I should have said after instead of at(I thought he fought BB in a desert area and thought that was Alabasta, it was actually a new island Banaro), but I don't think time progresses in Manga the way people expect it to in real life. Ace fought Blackbeard 3 days prior to the world finding out about Ennies Lobby. During their fight BB mentions going to Water 7 to fight Luffy. I could be wrong but I don't think the stuff at Ennies Lobby took 3 days. They spent a day or two in Water 7 before everything happened. It may just be me but I always figured some of these events happened simultaneously, for example when the SH's were arriving in Water 7 I think Ace was arriving at Banaro and Ace fought BB before Robin was taken by CP9(again this is just my interpretation of the timeline, it may be wrong) I know people will argue with the simple observation that it was shown after so it happened after but that's not always true.

But nobody else would know the relevance of Robin execution? With Ace everyone knew of the Yonko Newgate and Roger.
Normal civillians wouldn't have known about some girl being able to read poneglyphs? It would hold no importance to them.
