A lot of them seem to put words in people's mouths.. either that, or ignore the most valid parts of a post and spout nonsense on things they think they know more about.. I swear sometimes it feels like we're all reading a different manga that just so happens to have the same name.
Dude I'm sorry but some of you are really calling the kettle black. Talking about not reading or putting words in mouths ? I'm not speaking for the others but for myself. I gave a very detailed theory like 8 months ago before this whole Big Mom arc was even on the road about how ceasar would play a crucial role in the upcoming Big Mom and Kaidou fights and that they might have a clash. Now we are 8 months into the arc, and Big Mom is not the push over that many of the people here hoped to be. Remember all the shitposting on Big Mom ?
That is all fun and games, it all got mocked and laughed away. And even when Luffy is looking right into the face of defeat people are still saying, but how can this happen ? Why would it make for a better story ? But that would mean Luffy would be running away ?
On all those questions I only have 1 answer left, I'm done explaining it really. It has been discussed to the letter how at least I and I know for a fact a lot of others talked about their views and predictions for this arc. But let's drop it now and just stop asking for the obvious stuff.
Let's look at the facts:
*Luffy made a promise to make FI his turf and beat Big Mom in the NW - angered BM
*Ceasar's factory got blown up on PH - angered Doffy and agitated Kaidou
*Franky blew up the smile factory on Dressrosa - Angered Kaidou
*Big Mom kidnaps Sanji on Dressrosa and forces the Strawhat to split their attention on to 2 yonkou
*For some reason all the supernova except Bonney are been seen with or near 1 of these 2 yonkou
*Luffy vowed to wreck the wedding, and help Sanji with his 3 conditions.
*Sanji's 3 conditions are now met, but all their backup is flying away with Ceasar.
*They were facing defeat before with greater numbers, while Big Mom was insane. Now there are 6 Vinsmokes and Luffy left
*The enemy has Big Mom 2 sweet commanders and the entire enraged army left
*SOME PEOPLE might call this situation hopeless (It's your own right to believe in a miracle)
And this is where the paths split because I'm not a Big Mom fanboy as I've been called or a Luffy hater as I've been called. I see myself as a realism fanboy.
So if you right now would look at who could possibly take out a yonkou. There might be a simple conclusion, another yonkou. Coincidence has it that the other Strawhats are already laying the foundations of the follow up arc right now. All the Supernova's will be there if Bege tags along with Luffy to Wano and Bonney comes into the picture. End result could very well be a situation the marines have feared for and Luffy being in the center of it all again a clash between 2 yonkou. Which works out perfect, because they can get rid of 2 major problems at once.
Why the hell would Ceasar otherwise be relevant after 3 arcs ? When does Pedro get to fight Tamago ? Even if by a stroke of luck Luffy beats Big Mom, will Oda make him defeat 2 yonkous in 2 arcs back to back ?
Also there are 4 yonkou left. If Big Mom and Kaidou clash we can see a fight where neither has to pull punches for the sake of a power scale, If one or both goes down there will be a power vacuum that throws the world out of control, the marines will more than likely interrupt on the island they're afraid of entering. Why else keep mentioning that fact if the marines have no reason to enter Wano. Come in Green Bull. A war bigger than the Marineford arc ensues. Chaos between all different factions and alliances, minks, samurai, ninja Kidd/apoo/hawkins, Strawhats, Marines, possibly shichibukai. And in the end Luffy walks away as the new menace of the New World. Now going forward in the story only 2 yonkou remain. He doesn't need to fight Shanks so that saves Blackbeard for the end. And at the end of the story I can see Luffy going 1 to 1 with a yonkou but not right now.
See how many steps are still in between ? If Luffy right now wins against a yonkou what would the rest of the manga look like ?
And to address one more point that is mentioned a lot. If Luffy leaves or escapes now that doesn't make him a loser. He got his crew mate out and wrecked a tea party under big mom's nose while the entire world (Big News Morgan) is witness. That makes him the winner in the situation even though Big Mom is undefeated.
This has been my theory, and this still is my theory. and for every question can be answered with it. Which also makes it a good theory. But stop saying that people are ignoring valid points because these points have been covered extensively over the past months when people were busy mocking it. Now I'm done explaining. It's Oda's turn.
I hear a lot about how this prediction sucks, the only thing I haven't seen so far here is how 6 Vinsmokes and Luffy will beat an army together. Make a theory about that, where are the match-ups ? Is Luffy going to solo Big Mom ? Or will he get back-up from Sanji ? If Sanji backs up Luffy who will fight the 2 sweet commanders ? Ichiji and Reiju ? Then we still have Oven, Daifuku and Compote. Let's give them a vinsmoke each. Now we're out of allies but still have an enraged army with a lot of strong devil fruit users like Galette, mont d'or, perospero, Brulee, pudding and a lot of others. So what is your theory how would Luffy turn this into a win ? I'm not putting words into your mouth, these are the facts.
