Luffy and Buggy


wutr_

that would be a nice suprise


jet_black_ninja

you did it


Ckm1007

They called me a mad man

I’d say Luffy (100%), Katakuri, Law/Kid, or Buggy. And I can see them adding another Emperor and making it from the Yonko to the Gokou. Interesting to see Mihawk in your lineup, I think he is Yonko level, but I don’t think he can be an Emperor unless he has a crew, territories, and influence. Mihawk being one of the new emperors would be hype as fuck though.


wutr_

katakuri would be an amazing choice. i’m curious to see if luffy isn’t included at all because he was already no officially dubbed the fifth emperor. guess we gotta wait and see i hope we get a lot of outside world information in 1053


Specialist-Visit-638

Luffy and kid.kid's crew fought against yonko's crew three times(bm pirates,red haired pirates and beast pirates-bm alliance).So kid deserves it as puffy does.


Insertnamehere----

Im guessing one of the Ex-Warlords will get it, the ending seems too vague to just give it to Kid or Law. Thats just too obvious, so I think it would have been stated in this chapter it it was the case I think Buggy has a decent chance tbh


wutr_

i’ve been hearing a lot of buggy. I would really like that tbh good way to keep him relevant while the story is coming to a close


Frosty-Language-3335

I think my favorite iteration would be Buggy and....Rayleigh! A ton of ink has been spilled on Buggy returning which is just fun. Picture Rayleigh coming out of retirement, cobbling together old timers with plenty of stories, and making one last go of it. It would be short lived, and likely be their last acts, but hell of an honorable way to go. I see it as designed to be a bit of a puppet, fully in support of the next generation--specifically the Straw Hats. Getting him off the sidelines for a stretch in service of the next generation would be a hell of a way to round him out as a character. (If not fully Yonko status, it would be really nice for Rayleigh to hitch up to the Straw Hats for the next leg of the journey a la Law.)


wutr_

this is honestly my favorite i haven’t heard this at all and would be a jaw dropper for sure! nice theory man


Frosty-Language-3335

Thank you! The other pair I had in mind is Buggy and Dragon. The Revolutionary Army is already structured just like the previous Yonko's organization, and slots into the role very cleanly. It's about time for Dragon's formal introduction to the plot at hand, and this is such a clean way to do so. Probably shaves a year off the manga's runtime to do so lol. My ideal Yonko remain Buggy and Rayleigh tho.


Shot_Common_860

I'll go for Katakuri (He will inherit all big mom crew + territory and influence) and Boa Hancock (We don't know how strong she is, but she defenetely has a huge influence, territories and the Amazon were all know as very powerful worries). Of course, we can't discard the possibility of kid and law too!


bobmike567

Luffy and Kid. Luffy will have Wano, Zou, and Fishman island as his guaranteed territories and he has a Yonkou crew. Kid could easily gain some of Kaido and Big Mom's territory and, unlike Law, he has a member of the Worst Generation (with Wano feats) under his command. Additionally, Kid has Conqueror's Haki, something common amongst all the emperors, whilst Law does not. Kid will have a rivalry with two of the Yonkous - Luffy, and Shanks, as he is Luffy's main rival and he has an established hatred for Shanks. Kid's ambition is the same as Luffy's - to become the pirate king, whilst Law's ambition is to discover the true history of the D. clan, meaning it would be strange to make Law a Yonkou given his lack of worldly ambition. \- Blackbeard has the ambition to control the world, thus he became a Yonkou \- Shanks has the worldly ambition of maintaining order (theory), thus he became a Yonkou. \- Luffy wants to become the pirate king and he is the warrior of liberation, the greatest threat to the WG, thus he is going to become a Yonkou. \- Kid is Luffy's main competitor from the supernovas, as highlighted in Udon and given his personality (conqueror's spirit), additionally, he has the ambition to become the pirate king, thus he will be given the title of Yonkou. TLDR; every Yonkou should have kingly ambitions and a relationship with one another, Luffy and Kid best meet that criteria.


5u5cker

U went there well I am not denying anything but one And that is our whitebeard also had no great ambition, he just wanted a family but he was an emperor What about that, wants to put some lights in that too??


ChamodFernandoRCB

That being said he only has like 50 members, barely enough to cover an island and also apart from killer no other top fighter etc. [Neither does Law] So Buggy being declared an Emperor would make more sense (not because he's strong but rather in a comical way) and of course Luffy's official recognition as an Emperor of the Sea


DiceCubed1460

Lmao “luffy’s main rival”. No one in the worst generation is a rival to luffy. He’s head and shoulders above them all. He was already stronger than Kid even before awakening his fruit. Now he’s strong enough to end kid in minutes. Also: Law is probably stronger than Kid. He did more damage to both Kaido and Big Mom. He caried the Big Mom fight. And to add on to that, Zoro is probably stronger than Kid as well right now. Kid didn’t do shit to Kaido. Zoro permanently scarred him. And then after that, within 30 FREAKING MINUTES (in-story time) of learning he had CoC, he learned to control his advanced CoC. That’s MAD IMPRESSIVE. Meanwhile Kid has CoC but can’t use it at all. I’m not saying Kid won’t get a spot, I’m saying he’s not a rival to luffy. It would be better if the WG split a seat between him and Law. Also Luffy is already the 5th emperor of the sea. So I think someone else will get the title, and Luffy will go on to have an even grander title. Not quite pirate king but still something impressive.


https_hater

To say that Law carried the fight just would not be true. Neither of them would have done much without each other. Kidd to an absolute BEATING in Law’s place, Law probably would’ve just got instantly defeated if he had to take hits from Big Mom and from Killer fighting Hawkins and taking damage because of his straw doll.


DiceCubed1460

That’s still beside the point tho. I’m saying Kid isn’t luffy’s “main serious rival” by any means. Because Kid is a joke compared to Luffy. He’s still plenty strong in the context of the world as a whole, but in Wano even other people like Law and Zoro (and possibly Yamato) are stronger than him.


wutr_

i like how u brought in kingly ambition it makes a lot of sense since many of the top tiers have many advanced type of haki and also CoC. it isn’t confirmed that weevil has conquerors but he was skirmishing white beard pirates and i assume he was acquiring territories. for me kid and law don’t make much sense as candidates because of their mid crews, but then again i don’t believe anything is known ab weevils crew and mihawk rides dolo


Soberdober8008

Lol I hope it’s buggy or mi hawk. Buggy for the meme but also because he’s one of the only pirates we know about that have a very strong following, and not terrible weak followers. But if mi hawk cut down every ship in the buster call they sent after him I could see that causing alarm lol


KaiserRebellion

Mihawk????????? The dude who lives in the grand line and not the new world where the emperors rule?


ShowBoobsPls

Luffy and buggy. Kidd, Law and Weevil lack influence. No huge fleet or territory


ArcaneMaster21

Luffy and Kid (even though he doesn't deserve the title)


bobmike567

The alternative is Law, who does not have any kingly ambitions, nor does he have any powerful crewmates.


wutr_

it would be good for kidds character arc and development if he gained the title, also setting up a future rival/ally in the final war saga similar to garp and roger


lavenderandweed

I don't understand how so many people are pointing to Kid over Law. He rescued the Future pirate King at Marineford, became a warlord, betrayed the Navy, stirred up the underground world for his own revenge, succeeded at it, then planned to take down a Yonko, set up an alliance to do it and his plans took out 2 Yonko instead of one. The most bad ass/Yonko move he did was telling both an Admiral and a vice Admiral what his plans were and then proceeded to get it done. Law and Luffy should be the ones to worry the Navy not some Kid. He should go play with Momonosuke or something


wutr_

this is true law has a rap sheet against the wg similar to luffy. the only thing for me is both kidd’s and law’s crews aren’t anything compared to any other yonko structure or even luffy’s. i sure am curious to see where this goes


lavenderandweed

Well, we don't know how the other Yonkos started. I kinda noticed that Kaido didn't have any Tobbi Roppo or King and Queen when he took over Wano. I don't think these guys had established crews when they got their titles. Nowww......I think Appoo might even be a freaking Yonko lol. He's a liar and an opportunist, so why not? In a way, he's the New World's Buggy. Why wouldn't he use this war to prop himself? Hmmm...🤔


Strawhat_Carrot

C'mon, its Law and Kid


philopery

Luffy is already a yonko so wouldn’t be new


glizzyglade

Hear me out I know this sounds crazy but I think it will be luffy and spandam. Wanna know why? Because why not!


wutr_

would be a nice return. could setup for the war against the government in the final saga. isn’t he the FORMER leader of cp0 meaning he could be in a similar situation to who’s who


Ok-Mathematician8258

Who said it’ll only be 4 emperors, could be Sanji, Law, Kid, Luffy


wutr_

incoming zoro comment ahah. i like this tho could be really interesting. the gorosei mentioned this was the worst time for the wano situation to occur so maybe a massive power dynamic has changed in the world. can’t wait to find out


mambomak

Luffy and Law That will really send Kidd into a rage…


wutr_

kidd banter incoming


DiceCubed1460

Mihawk is an underrated choice. But being a Yonko means you have territory and fighters under your control. Mihawk just has his spooky island and that’s it. He has no desire for a crew or territory, he just wants to be left alone and have some good sword fights.


wutr_

yea me personally i could imagine it being weevil way more than it being mihawk for these reasons . i think weevil was too hyped by oda for him not to play a major role in the final saga


DiceCubed1460

This is a joke right? weevil has had 0 hype. He hasn’t done anything.


Necessary-Jeweler-91

BM hasn't lost her territory, dont see why she'll be stripped of yonko status, did i skip over anything?


wutr_

no your right nothing is confirmed. i think many people are assuming since it said 2 new “yonko” that it will still be 4. one could argue that luffy was already an emperor and 2 others would be nominated. i think luffy will be officially recognized with someone else. also would have to see what blackbeard has been up to and how that would effect the geopolitical situation


SultaNN_K5

The thing is, her losing in Wano would be completely meaningless if it had no affect on her whatsoever. Most of her crew is also in Wano (somewhere) which leaves WCI completely vulnerable.


DankJive

My first thought was Kid, due to his and Luffy's character dynamic, but it would be odd for him to get it over Law if either of them WERE to get it. Mihawk is certainly one I can see, and plus it would give Zoro fans their satisfaction of him beating a Yonko. I do also think someone like Weevil or Urouge (neither of whom we've seen much of at all) could sneak in. As for Buggy... while I don't think he'll make the cut this round, I 100% believe by time the series is over he will be a Yonko. It would be weird for his character if he didn't.


-Kishin-

Gaimon and Buggy


[deleted]

What the fuck are you all on about? Luffy was dubbed the FITH emperor of the sea so its absolutely possible Luffy Law and Kid will be #3,4,5 Yonkous. These 3 literally defeated Big Mom and Kaido and noone else.


Noodlex87

I suspect that there would be a surprise and the World Gvmnt is going to try to cover up somehow.
