They always do this. They did it with WCI and Dressrosa, I even hear they were like this with Enies Lobby back in the day. But now look at how most of the fanbase views that arc lol.

When he first transforms, he lost all of his wounds from Kaido and was completely healed. Later, right after his fight with Kaido, he's laying asleep with only bandages on his torso.

I mean an arc could be a decade long for all I care it’s just in story, everything is very wavy in the story. Some things too long, others too short. And no I’m not talking about that type of long

technically he wasn't Roger's ONLY rival, since Garp and Sengoku existed, but I get your point. I'd include Shiki but the man got clapped so hard he got a wheel stuck in his head lmfaooooRough/poorly made meme but whatevs

Cannot believe Green Bull casually stomped two top Yonko Commanders. And before people start saying “they were weakened”, Oda clearly wrote that in as a strength feat for Green Bull and to showcase his abilities. Also, lol Luffy low diffed Kidd.

Ah, yes. I too think that someone surprising 2 others, who are also healing from being heavily wounded and scarred just mere days ago, and using a tactic to instantly weaken and dry them out and keep them unable to do something, is a very fair method. I imagine you also think that Blackbeard pulling a drive-by on Whitebeard while Whitebeard stood there and practically let it happen due to knowing he'd die anyway is also fair, and counts as a feat that shows Blackbeard ( and his crew ) are equal to Old Whitebeard?

Wano is very much like Alabasta upon revisiting. Both involve countries/kingdoms that have been turned into wastelands that are ruled by an evil pirate. Both involve the nobility of the country recruiting Luffy and co to save their country in a snow themed island. There’s the fact that Luffy takes continuous L’s to both Crocodile and Kaidou. The final fights take place where the main citizens of the country never find out they happened. There’s a threat of a bomb going off on the battlefield and killing everyone. It ends with the king/ruler of the kingdom declaring the fight is over. And then Luffy is out for several days and wakes up in the same exact pose.
So yeah, if Dressrosa is Alabasta 2.0, then Wano is Alabasta 3.0

Oda writes in a good feat for an admiral to showcase how strong they are and people decide to instead write their headcanon overit to undermine what he did. Nowhere is it stated they were jumped- if anything he implies they put up a fight.
Some argued they had seastone cuffs on them, yet they were drinking booze instead and you can't see cuffs on either IIRC
"They're still injured" Zoan recovery kinda kills thar argument- they can't be injured to the point of barely functioning. Not after a WHOLE WEEK.
Greenbull's just built like that. Or like Damage say a while ago, his ability to succ might drain the opponent faster while making him stronger

Eh, true, but he still could have surprised them lol. Notice King didn't even have his flame on or anything.

His flames normally on, the fact it's off suggests he tried fighting back by going into his speed mode. From the viz translation it does seem to confirm they tried fighting him first, at least that's how I took it:

He seems pretty angered towards them for some reason, though. Unless he's trying to imitate Akainu ( which is plausible as he IS a big fan of him ) I don't see why he'd so brutal towards them without having a personal reason.His flames normally on, the fact it's off suggests he tried fighting back by going into his speed mode.

Would that mean Vegapunk's new weapon failed to replace all the Warlords?

So does anybody have any predictions for what will happen with Green Bull barging in during the festivities, possibly in the middle of a fight between Luffy and Kidd?
He would be perfect for rejuvenating the poisoned and starving country of Wano, but I don't know how he would be motivated to do so.

He might provide the impetus for the various Pirate Crews to leave the country but at the same time I can't see the Straw Hats running away without a fight, or potentially leaving the people of Wano in danger. They might leave if they realize he's there just for Luffy and isn't a threat to the people of Wano, and so by running away they can draw him out of the country.
Maybe a diplomatic solution could be reached but this Admiral doesn't seem super reasonable.

You're probably right. That could be why Ryokugyu said the Navy didn't have any spare manpowerDid anybody notice the marines fighting in the background? does that mean the shibuachki hunt is still not over?

I don't think Luffy and Kidd are going to be fighting
It looks like he's doing it passively

I wonder which Warlords got defeated, if any of them did. I know for sure Mihawk didn't go down without him agreeing to be captured, and Hancock most likely didn't.

Oda is building them up as rivals but contradicts him self in the same chapter via Luffy casually stopping and trolling Kidd right when Kidd tries to assassinate him.

I think there's a short fight between Luffy and GreenBull where he quickly finds himself in the backfoot

If Green Bull is almost on a level with Kaido and roughly even with Shanks (which would likely be required for what we just saw), I think that he will be a legitimate threat, but maybe he could be convinced to rejuvenate Wano in exchange for his life if he is defeated?
DaMonkeMan

Are you saying he's yonko level or speculating? Because I always thought Admirals were probably on the level of Yonko commanders at LEAST, but at most considerably stronger than that, but still not quite enough to equal or threaten a Yonko.

That being said, they DO have pretty lethal fruits, and I assume all of them have advanced armament given how the old trio did, and they PROBABLY only recruit people with advanced armament or CoC.

Just like in the image I sent, Greenbull will use a sleeping gas plant similar to the pop green Usopp got from the Boin Archipelago during the timeskip. Sanji will wake up sensing Greenbull with his Kenbun as he did during Luffy's awakening against Kaido in chapter 1044. Sanji will see that Greenbull spilled food while capturing pirates, which'll anger him. Sanji will face off against Greenbull, which would result in Sanji winning without telling taking credit, similar to how Zoro fended off Kuma on Thriller Bark (more Thriller Bark parallels)
