[Discussion] Could Shiki Be The Seventh Shichibukai?

[Punk Hazard]

It isn't only about strength, but it also about pride ... you know Yonko is much worth than Marine Dog.

That's not what he was saying and you know it.

He would only be able to serve for plot connection purposes, he wouldn't be useful for combat purposes 1 bit.

Preskip Luffy beat him 2+ years ago. Luffys only got stronger, and the possibility of Shiki, a grown man who was a bit past his prime getting that much of a power boost to beat him is slim. If anything he's either gotten weaker or stayed at the same power level.

You know Strong World never happened right? Oda could have Shiki whoop the shit out of Luffy, slice off his head and become Pirate King if he wanted to.

If I remember correctly, Oda wanted Shiki's story to put in manga, but didn't know where would it fit, so that's why he made a film.

7th Shichibukai will maybe not have whole arc for himself, but will have some role. If Shiki is 7th Shichibukai, than Oda wouldn't had a problem with "fit Shiki's story" in manga.

Don't u think Oda would have some say in the movies? I mean I also know that in movies when the writers want to implement a Devilfruit they first ask Oda and check if he does not have future plans for it already.. Can't the same be said for characters and their powers?

Close but no cigar. Oda said he wanted to fit Shiki into the conversation between Shanks and Whitebeard, but thought it would confuse the readers, so he decided not to. He had no idea at the time that a movie would be made involving him.

You know what non-canon means right?

We can assume the movie staff asked if Oda had any future plans for Shiki and Oda told them how strong he was
I know the movies are not canon but the powers known characters use in it are.

Yeah you are right...

Than it's really possible for Shiki to be Shichibukai.

Shichibukai are supposed to be equal with Yonkos in power. Scales are on Yonko's side for now, Shiki would sure tip them to equal.

Not necessarily. The movie being non-canon means the events never happened. Meaning, Oda has free reign with Shiki's strength. That's my point, Oda can introduce Shiki in the main story with whatever strength he wants, regardless of if he wanted him to be a certain strength at that certain time.

Aren't all characters used for plot purposes? The major ones, I mean. A lot of the One Piece history has come into play, Garp, Rayleigh, Chinjao, Roger, Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Shanks, they're all from Rogers Era. They've become very prominent and important in the story since the post-Ennies Lobby arc. Shanks and Roger prior to that.

You do realize that movie was non-canon and a current time Shiki is likely to be on par with Rayleigh, Magellan and Marco, just below the admirals, right?

Having him as the seventh Shichibukai would solve this problem then

Oda has no say over the plots in movies. So that's all non-canon. Everything in the tenth movie.

He has SOME say. But it's limited to approvals and disapprovals of whatever the producers and directors come up with.

It's non-canon and irrelevant to the story. There have been canon characters in non-canon content before even Shiki...
