What is this suppose to mean? Luffy will beat anyone that gets in his way since he's the main char so irrelevant claim. It's obvious Kaido isn't even going to be the final Villain BB is. Kaido is currently the strongest char until BB shows his new feats.
Are we even reading the same manga? Luffy lost countless times.

Twice against Croco. To BM´s revenge army. Frozen and at mercy by Aokiji. On Sabaody Archipelago couldn´t save his crew. Got his ass handed to him at Marineford.

So no, I don´t think Luffy will beat anyone.

And to top it all off.. Luffy isn't the type of character to kill his enemies, so Kaido doesn't need to be killed by Luffy.. it's okay.. Luffy can knock him out and win one day.. but like OP said, that won't take anything away from Kaido's title. He can still be the strongest Creature. (If stronger, does indeed mean physically.)

Side note: Let's also not rule out the possibility of Kaido's title revolving completely around the fact that he's a Zoan DF user.

Just like falling 10,000 meters, getting hung, and being stabbed knocked him out instead of killing him?

And if "strongest" in Kaido's title means "physically strongest," why doesn't it mean that in WB's title also instead of "character most likely to win"/"most superior character overall?"

1. And? Even by your standards that is no reason to say she is weaker than Old WB you call half-dead. All Yonkou are on par with each other. Even if one is barely stronger than the other, there is no guarantee that the results would be the same every time.
First of all i was never talking about old WB i was talking about the current Yonko but yes she's weaker than old WB as well she is the weakest emperor and it's painfully obvious.
2. Kuzan was unharmed by the gura shockwave and froze the ocean. The first clash was a stalemate.

Kuzan slipped through WB bisento, trapped him and was going to stab him with ice partizans at point blank range. WB had to be saved by Jozu.

WB only got the better of WB because of a distraction and sneak attack but still lost half his face. Even after the 2 point blank gura punches, even Marco with the WB crew wouldn't harm Akainu.
He was only unharmed cause WB could careless about killing him. If he'd have added Haki to his quake Kuzan would have been ruined. WB was not trapped at all he could have easily tossed away him Bisento with Kuzan on it thus getting him out of harms way Jozu was needed tbh.

Wasn't a sneak attack since Akainu clearly recognized his presence before he was hit. Doesn't matter if he lost half his face or not WB had already been getting stabbed and shot up prior to engaging Akainu in the first place. Whitebeard still won their fight and could have killed Akainu if he decided to keep going after him after that last hit.

3. WB never said he was no longer the stronger. He said he couldn't be the strongest forever as he is just one man with one heart. Old WB called again & again the strongest alive even in his introduction box and in the narration about his death. Old WB was still the strongest in the world but he wasn't beating any top tier because of his heart condition.
Marineford Whitebeard isn't beating any male Yonko. You do realize those boxes are nothing but hype right? It is said that Kaido will always win a 1 on 1. So what should we take into consideration more huh? Whitebeard title was held as the strongest man in the world because of his prime. Not his current feats at Marineford and it's obvious.

Roger was known as the strongest Pirate in the world. If Roger would have lived to 90 he'd still have the title of the strongest pirate in the world even though it's clear that he's not the strongest anymore. Same applies to Whitebeard.
Are we even reading the same manga? Luffy lost countless times.

Twice against Croco. To BM´s revenge army. Frozen and at mercy by Aokiji. On Sabaody Archipelago couldn´t save his crew. Got his ass handed to him at Marineford.

So no, I don´t think Luffy will beat anyone.
Doesn't matter in the end Luffy came back and won. He's the main char thus he can beat any char in the series why? Because plot demands it don't argue with this.

Its not "painfully obvious." It seems the only reason you think Big Mom is the weakest is because she is female.

WB must be really dumb to try to stab an admiral logia without haki. If WB could've just tossed Kuzan aside, he would've done instead of standing there having to be saved by Jozu.

It was infact a sneak attack. If you are talking about the anime then stop as I don't use non-canon material. Akainu didn't even turn around or change expression as the sneak attack happened that quick. If you acutally think a half dead WB would've killed Akainu then you contradict yourself. That means Old half dead WB could kill Kaido, Shanks, Garp or BB in that situation.

Oda himself said that WB didn't lose any power because of his illness. Only his reflexes were affected. It was stated in databook and before you say anything, its also where Oda revealed the names of the WB pirates and its 100% canon.

You are generalizing. Situational conditions don't count. WB was the strongest but his heart attacks will screw him over, create opening and cost him fights. Without the heart attacks we would win. Strength isn't fully determined by how much you win. Guys like Jinbe & Ivankov>Magellan but they are not winning because they'd get poisoned. Freaking Mr 3 could hold back Magellan's poison for a short time thanks to his abilities.

Its very complex & gray.
Yea I understand what you're saying but I'm saying strongest means they are likely to win the battle. Yea old wb is gonna have heart attacks but that's not a guarantee he got it due to the accumulation of attacks he tanked throughout the marineford arc it was the situation that made his fragility even more apparent . Oda used strongest with Kaido in the same fashion and he even threw in the in a 1v1 always pick Kaido. Strongest seems to imply you should likely win. But yea magellan can probably beat jimbei but being inside the prison suited his df ability.

He had no significant injuries when a heart attack gave Akainu the advantage.

Yea sure he didn't I'm sure stabbing an old guy with heart porblems isn't gonna lead to heart attacks. It's called snowball effect but I know those concepts don't make sense to you.

Power is one aspect of a fighters capability , reflexes are important in battle they would lessen his need to tank attacks. His durability would also increase when he was younger. Meaning a younger wb would have the same power but he more durable and harder to hit, that's a nightmare in terms of how hax he would be. So saying only reflexes is very disingenuous.

Whitebeard himself laughed off Squard's stab, so why would I factor that in when WB doesn't?
Haha I think we've been through this before but luffy thinks he can do just about anything but does that mean what he thinks is true. Wb isn't gonna sit there and say it's painful that's not his character. Many characters have laughed off attacks or things of that nature not something super uncommon

In the same breath, WB said he was dying. If he can say he's dying with no problem, then I doubt he'd have a problem with acknowledging Squard's stab.

That's some terrible logic everybody knew he was dying after the guy took the damage he did which was after the heart attack and many other attacks he took on top of that he was an old dude with an illness. You want him to quantify each attack he took, like tell akainu his magma punches really hurt. Yea wb seems like that type of dude lol.

"Everyone knew he was dying"

Yet people were surprised when he said "this is my last voyage," asking him what he meant.

If WB has no problem admitting he's going to die, then it's illogical that he'd have a problem admitting the stab matter.

So WB was so weak that his haki, his reactions couldn't even deal with Squard?

If a crust bucket like Squard can instill game changing damage in one hit, then you are definitely not arguing for WB lmfao. Keep insisting on calling WB weak by overhyping Squard's stab you're only proving the people you argue against right.

?

His Haki could be 100% on point and still be stabbed.. depending on how his Haki was, he could've known very well where Squardo was, but since he had faith in his "son" he could think that Squardo would never betray him..

And a stab in the chest/stomach is still a stab in the chest/stomach.. it doesn't matter how strong you are. It is what it is. It will have some effect.

The two things are different.

Stating the obvious about him dieing, is literally due to old age. It's how life works. There's no problem saying something like that from a cocky/arrogant standpoint.

However, admitting that a cheap shot from one of your very own crew members who is far weaker than you had some effect on you, would be the opposite of WB's character. He's infront of an army of enemies, and his own army of which he needs to show bravery and keep moral up. And the fight was just getting started.

It makes perfect sense for his character to laugh off attacks.. even if they did have an effect on him.


He calls Akainu a brat. Do you now admit that Akainu is in fact a brat?

Wrong on that front I'm afraid.

You must be registered for see images
That's purely Marco's thoughts and opinion I'm afraid.

A few characters have stated that Zoro is the first mate for the StrawHats, yet you argue against that all the time.

If what other characters say is true, then Zoro is in fact the FM. Usopp is a God. And Chopper is just a pet. Etc. Etc.



However thanks for the scan, because it provided more back up for how Whitebeard's character is..

"You want me to stay hooked up to these things so the enemy will feel sorry for me?"

Squardo's stab having effect on WB is not something he would voice out in front of his enemies.. he's not gonna cry or complain.. he's gonna laugh it off and put on a brave face and keep moving forward and fighting with all that he's got.

I don't give a good ****ing damn. Marco knows more about WB than you. None of those examples you listed are as credible as Marco mentioning that WB could have dodged Squard's stab even though he trusted him, since Marco fought with WB for 20 years while all of those examples are based on pure ignorance and misunderstanding.

Which point in time are u talking about, after taking immense damage it's obvious wb was likely not going to survive. He's not going to give you status updates on his health every two seconds what you're asking for is straight up stupid. What squardo gave him was the initial hit which accelerated his declining health by making unguarded hit close to his heart. But it wasn't a life threatening hit at the moment. This is called the snowball effect, no matter how much u spin it it's the truth. Wb made a pained face when he received the hit it wasn't any type joke whatsoever.
