If I recall correctly, they actually ran into a language barrier, because Wang didn’t speak Japanese, and nobody on the island spoke mandarin. However, they could both read the characters (they were largely similar at this point), so they ended up writing out what they wanted to say, and then Wang would translate into Portuguese (anyone who knows the history better feel free to correct me).
Well, what if WANG Zhi is Blackbeard's 10th titanic captain? They did a Davy Back Fight, BB won and took over the island, and Koby and Law somehow got involved in that? Idk, I'm just thinking out loud.
Koby fought with Blackbeard in Hachinosu against the successor of Rocks. That means Koby is Garp's Blackbeard, the next PK. That probably also means that Yamato is Oden's Blackbeard and the tenth titanic captain all along. I'm just stating the fax here >->
Law being the mastermind of the rocky port incident is probably how he became a warlord. Law had a large bounty before the timeskip so it would make sense that he devised a plan to gain the favor of the world goverment. This plan resulted in Law turning in 100 pirate hearts to the marines. So if we go with a simple scenario then i think Law stole the food supplies of Hachinosu. This would result in Wang Zhi having to send a raid to a nearby island. And as smart as Law is he probably predicted which island and tipped the marines who send Koby. Koby valiantly protects the civilians, the raid fails, Law can take the hearts of the fleeing pirates and as a side effect Blackbeard could swoop in to take over Hachinosu since its forces are reduced.
One problem, if by “Law stole food supplies of Hachinosu” you mean that he traveled that far into the new world during the time skip. How? Without his log pose pointing him there from a previous island? And I doubt he has an eternal pose to there.
@@UltimatePower01I think it's possible. Luffy and crew did the east blue and grand line in less than a year. So timewise it's possible for Law to reach Hachinosu per normal log pose. Big plus for Law is that he and his crew can go unnoticed because of the Polar Tang. And we know for a fact that Law went back since we meet him before his crew.

Coby probably arrived on the island around the same time with a superior officer who gave the order to bring Wang in along the way, and indirectly helped blackbeard, who then pushed the marines back off the island

That should immediately make it obvious that he can't be either Vegapunk nor Imu, but there are plenty of other examples too.

@@MeteoricBurst right, so i finished the video and even rewatched the historical bit + the end of the center portion where Tekking is cracking jokes about Wang Zhi's probable age, and nope, wouldya look at that, there's nothing that would overtly make this guy's comment come off as purely a joke or purely sarcasm. Since the dawn of the internet, people have come up with many different ways to add emotion and tone / context to their text, and why do you think that is? Because without things like "lol", "XD" and /s to denote humor or sarcasm respectively, text can quite often come across as dry, monotone and without emotion. Insert "This is known" meme clip from early GoT. In other words, nah, it's not automatically a given that I have no humor, it's more like people in the One Piece community both on Reddit AND here on TH-cam have the awful habit of picking one clue, implication or theory about a character and making absolutely worthless theories with them because their smooth brains manage to ignore (more like filter out) all the OTHER important facts or context which would shatter their precious prediction to pieces. Back when "The Man Marked By Flames" was first mentioned, people were acting proud of themselves for thinking it just HAD to be Sabo, like they were 5 year olds grinning after shoving the cylinder block in the square hole, because they ignored the very important context that the "Man Marked By Flames" has to be someone who has knowledge of the poneglyphs and could help Kidd find one. So excuse me for seeing "Wang Zhi could be Imu" and having an immediate eye roll and attempt to correct them. If the original commenter was just making a joke then great, my bad, i'll take my first comment back, but for now I don't regret it at all.
You know?! Personally I loved when you let us see a digital clock. SO!! I have an idea. Barry could have a digital clock desk! Thank you for attending my Ted talk
Since we are getting Rocks focus here, do you think this is the perfect opportunity to get Shiki introduced in the canon for real? I mean there's Chapter 0 sure but we have yet to see him in the present time
Considering in an interview that Oda wanted to draw a pirate with an eyepatch I think that Zhi will have an eyepatch incorporated into his character design.
@@robertnelson9599 Zhi could have all of them or Zhi is actually just the parrot whom uses King's Haki or has a special parasite devil fruit to control people
I wanna be the first to congratulate you on your upcoming 700K subscribers. Been watching you since the early Bleach days almost 10 years ago. Congratulations Bud, you deserve it
With the backstory of IRL WANG makes me think OP WANG was the rocks pirates navigator, so... Rocks= luffy/captain WB=zoro/right hand BM=chopper/doctor(i mean she healed herself with her soul power) WANG=nami/navigator
We didn't really see what happened to the other one so this is possible however they may find some degree of difficulty with that. I think Koby had to repeat his orders to try and get the one that looked like Boa Hancock to stop so either they don't consider him high up on their command structure (whatever that is) or they are harder to control than the previous versions.
You'd think all the really old pirates in the world would be trying to capture the FUCK out of Bonnie considering her devil fruit could revert them to their prime.
@@sarov7658 definitely like laws fruit it creates a room and those that are within the radius get affected. However the awakening may permanently leave the effect of aging.
Every time, in any one of your videos, when you yell Wang Zhi I get startled and I start laughing at the same time. Never stop being yourself, Tekking, it brings a smile to many people out there!
js that captain john's fate might also be the same fate that buggy will face. buggy might get "found out" and everybody rebels. just a thought. I don't think he has captain john's treasure yet.
I'm happy you made a video on this because when I read the chapter this was the main thing on my mind. Rocky port is like pearl harbor to one piece citizens
im happy ur making a vid on this, cuz nobody is talking about it, bb even with TWO DEVIL FRUITS needed help from law and coby to defeat whang zhi, the rocks pirates are so overpowered
The last chapter got me really curious about Silver Axe. After all he’s the only member of the Rocks Pirates who is still unaccounted for. I’m not anticipating him playing any major roles, but maybe a name drop like they did with Wang to kinda explain his fate or maybe he will show up in a flashback. Whatever the case, I don’t think Oda will leave Silver Axe as a blank slate for much longer (in One Piece time).
That is something I am interested in too. It seems that the Rocks Pirates are playing a role in events even if only by being mentioned or used to move the characters or the plot forward. I hope to know what he has gotten up to soon.
Rocks: Probably dead, likely killed in the fight with Garp and Roger Silver Axe: Believed to be dead (folks think Gekko Moriah had his corpse along with Captain John's; this isn'tactually confirmed) Captain John: Dead, Moriah had his corpse, Buggy wants his treasure Shiki: Somewhere out in the world Whitebeard: Dead, buried at Sphinx Big Mom: Defeated, but we don't know if she is alive or dead Kaido: Same as Big Mom Wang Zhi: Seemingly killed by Blackbeard in the Rocky Port incident which led to his 2.2 billion berry bounty, Koby and Law were also involved (Koby was promoted to Captain, Law was made into a Warlord) Ms. Bakkin: We will probably see her in the next couple of chapters with Weevil since Weevil, Doffy (probably still in Impel Down), and Moriah are the only Warlords we haven't seen in the past few chapters My theory is Captain John's treasure was Rocks's treasure that he stole when Xebec was fighting Roger and Garp. I think Big Mom, Kaido, or one of the others was the one who killed him to get the treasure back but failed to find it. If Kaido was the one who killed him, then he could have buried John's corpse in Wano. Moriah would have gotten his corpse at the same time he took Ryuma's in this scenario. I want to see Shiki in canon, to be honest.
I’m under the impression that BB wasn’t there for the Rocky Port incident, however he just happened to take advantage of the power vacuum/chaos after they left.
Whenever Matt says the phrase "wang zhi" He he is obligated by the forces of the universe and the laws of creation to shout it out in the form of bloodthirsty cry...
I like how Tekking, when discussing the historical Wang Zhi, uses his best attempt at the Mandarin pronunciation and when he talks about the One Piece character he uses our much beloved "WHAAAAAAANGGGGG GEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" or Ouchoku. I low-key hope that Oda gives us the Wang Zhi loves pudding flashback. C'mon, grandpa!
What if zebec just wanted to take over the world so he can make one massive bakery and wang zi was continuing his dream with the remaining members of the rocks crew and that is were shiki was
we know that Koby dreamt of joining the navy with him possibly becoming an admiral someday what if this stems from Koby being the grandson or great-grandson or great-nephew of Wang Zhi and Zhi was taken aback by Koby's homecoming.
Here's a Monkey fact. The Main character of One Piece, Luffy's family name is Monkey. Luffy = Red-Tailed Monkey. Nika = Sun-Tailed Monkey. Garp = Red-handed Tamarin or Red-handed Howler. I can't think of 1 for Dragon though. If Nami was a Monkey she'd be a Golden lion tamarin. If Shanks was a Monkey he'd be a Red-Shanked Douc.
Blackbeard is somewhat responsible of the downfall of 2 off the old generation pirates: Whitebeard and Ochoku. He could've killed Rayleigh had he fought him. Could it be that one of BB's role is to kill off all the old characters? Maybe Garp and Sengoku think they have to rescue Coby which may lead to their downfall as well?
"Maybe there were civilians on the Hachinosu, maybe he became a good guy" Or maybe pirates had civilians as basically hostages living amongst them so the government would refrain from all out attack without having a huge backlash. Like crime factions all over the world use local population as fodder on ghettos and such
@@sarthakarora3212 actually they do care but like Ohara the Celestial Dragons can outweigh it and call them even if the public opinion goes down and there are dissent in their lines and defectors like Saul.
Love how I’m on TH-cam and see tekking with 669k subs and a dude with 2 mil subs yet they both post a new video tekking was 2 hour and had 14k view and 2 million sub dude was at 2 hours with 9k views keep it going tekking look forward to everyone of your videos
I could be wrong but I thought the Straw Hats found Captain John’s treasure. It was the treasure they got from thriller bark and that’s why the treasure had captain John’s stuff in it
This video made me think of a theory, but I’m not sure if anyone mentioned it before. What if Wang Zhi is the “Man with the burn scar”? It would make sense since Law had a serious look on his face when Kidd mentioned him. Ochoku might have some information about the One Piece or a road poneglyph while he was with the Rocks pirates. So it would make sense for Kidd’s interest in him and it would be a cool way to introduce more members of the Rocks Pirates
If wang had the “transform into other people fruit” it would make a lot of sense to have civilians on the island so you can disguise yourself as one… so coby had maybe observation Haki to find him because Blackbeard just killed everyone. So coby as a relatively weak character could by snitching Wang, save civilians. Also the moment Tekking sad 3 times I knew it would be at least 4 😂
12:45 - Don't forget that all of Big Mom's children over the age of 40 were probably members of the Rocks Pirates. 14:50 - Big Mom's oldest children would've been kids, but now are in their prime. 17:25 - False! Rocky Port was a marine base incident that Trafalgar Law masterminded to leave 100 pirate hearts in order to become a warlord. 21:15 - No, it was stated to be during the Rocky Port incident. 24:50 - Can you cover the mythical monkeys, like Sun Wukong & Hanuman?
I don’t think it can be the same place bc the government only help those that pay the heavenly tribute and I can all but promise that they wouldn’t have sent coby there to rescue civilians- even if there were citizens on the pirate island the government wouldn’t help them so that whole situation couldn’t exist in the first place. Unless they kidnapped civilians and took them to the island I think they have to be on separate islands
I was thinking that Shaki could possibly still have been a part of the Rocks crew. In fact what is she was “Silver Axe”?! Silvers Raleigh and Silver Axe Shaki? That would be crazy. Could it be that Portgas D Rouge was a former Empress of Amazon Lilly? Rouge is a type of rose. Who better for the Pirate King to have a kid with? She also wears a flower in her hair like Granny. Just some random ideas I wanted to throw your way. Thanks for the great content Tekking.
You know the Drunken Ore metal we still really don't know were it's been made and Kaido actually didn't use any of it in Wano so odds are someone else in the New World is behind producing Drunken Ore Metal. If Big Mom and Kaido went off to become emperors there is a chance other remaining Rox members became Equally as big figures in the underworld also would explain why not all Brokers were invited to the Tea Party. Because the ones working with or for former Rox pirate's would know the mixed History and wouldn't be invited for this reason. Too add to this we still haven't really seen something similar to a secret society in the One piece world but I believe Trebol was a member of something like this that has members out there who are trying to Spark the next generation and control them. I believe if there is a Pirates equalivent to the Elder Stars this Secret society would have the former Members or Rox that didn't become Emperors but were Brokers and working together for a common purpose.
I really wished Oda had showed WANG ZHI in the chapter. Cause it debunked him being the Chinese General zombie from Thriller Bark. Since he is alive and it seems he got away after his defeat.
I believe that Zhi will be a future threat to Momo and Yamato and even when dead because he will return in the form of a Seraphim because his historical counterpart was a warlord I believe that Zhi was one of the first warlords.
While I'm nervous about Koby being the clutches of Blackbeard and his crew, I would find it funny and maybe even likely that Oda will make Koby's imprisonment ALOT like his time on Alvida's ship. I mean Koby is strong, but considering how powerful Blackbeard and his crew is, Koby may be on the level of chore boy comparatively. So Koby's hostage situation and imprisonment could maybe be like him cleaning the floorboards after the crews drunken excursions

(He points to a place on the map.) HERE? No! No no! That's Amazon Lily. (He looks at the map again.) But wait, those man haters know this world better than me at me own ship. Hmmm... I wonder... Edward Newgate: (smiles) Good morning, captain! Rocks D. Xebec: (He grabs Newgate.) I'VE GOT IT! Finally, Newgate! Edward Newgate: (nervous) Finally c-captain? Rocks D. Xebec: The Lily Princess! She'll know where those snob-nosed Celestials are hiding their Devil Fruits. Edward Newgate: (nervous) B-but! Will she talk, Captain? Rocks D. Xebec: A little pursuasion might be in order.

What if Silver Axe is the tenth titanic captain?
Problem is, Law was said to be the mastermind behind it

That probably also means that Yamato is Oden's Blackbeard and the tenth titanic captain all along.
I'm just stating the fax here >->
I’m convinced Wang Zhi is actually Tekking’s favorite character.
What if Wang Zhi is the "One Marked By Flames"? Law was there at Rocky Port, and he sort of reacted to that title when he heard it from Kid.

Since the dawn of the internet, people have come up with many different ways to add emotion and tone / context to their text, and why do you think that is? Because without things like "lol", "XD" and /s to denote humor or sarcasm respectively, text can quite often come across as dry, monotone and without emotion.
Insert "This is known" meme clip from early GoT.
In other words, nah, it's not automatically a given that I have no humor, it's more like people in the One Piece community both on Reddit AND here on TH-cam have the awful habit of picking one clue, implication or theory about a character and making absolutely worthless theories with them because their smooth brains manage to ignore (more like filter out) all the OTHER important facts or context which would shatter their precious prediction to pieces.
Back when "The Man Marked By Flames" was first mentioned, people were acting proud of themselves for thinking it just HAD to be Sabo, like they were 5 year olds grinning after shoving the cylinder block in the square hole, because they ignored the very important context that the "Man Marked By Flames" has to be someone who has knowledge of the poneglyphs and could help Kidd find one.
So excuse me for seeing "Wang Zhi could be Imu" and having an immediate eye roll and attempt to correct them.
If the original commenter was just making a joke then great, my bad, i'll take my first comment back, but for now I don't regret it at all.
You know?! Personally I loved when you let us see a digital clock. SO!! I have an idea. Barry could have a digital clock desk! Thank you for attending my Ted talk
Say it with me, everyone! Tekking was born to... "WANG ZHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!"
dont let people bring you down say it as much as you wanttttt
Since we are getting Rocks focus here, do you think this is the perfect opportunity to get Shiki introduced in the canon for real? I mean there's Chapter 0 sure but we have yet to see him in the present time
Shiki could be introduced, but he would never be allowed to interact with the straw hat crew
@@fadadapple True, it would break the canon since the movie exists (unless we ignore it entirely and pretend it never happened)
It would also work if someone else like Black beard defeated Shiki or even Shanks foiled Shiki’s plans when he became an emperor
Shiki was already name dropped in the main story, that makes him canon.
I wonder if we will see the other Rocks Pirate mentioned that we haven't seen yet. I think his name was Silver Axe.
Hey Tekking! Already off to a great start
I took Primatology in undergrad. I’m so excited for your choice
Considering in an interview that Oda wanted to draw a pirate with an eyepatch I think that Zhi will have an eyepatch incorporated into his character design.
If I remember, Oda plans on having one pirate with each of the stereotypes (peg leg, hook hand, eye patch and parrot on the shoulder)
@@robertnelson9599 Zhi could have all of them or Zhi is actually just the parrot whom uses King's Haki or has a special parasite devil fruit to control people
@@robertnelson9599
Hook is already crocodile
@@robertnelson9599 Parrot on the shoulder is Whitebeard
Pretty sure the eye patch will be reserved for Luffy. Oda said it's the ultimate pirate symbol.
I wanna be the first to congratulate you on your upcoming 700K subscribers. Been watching you since the early Bleach days almost 10 years ago. Congratulations Bud, you deserve it
I am glad Tekking favorite rocks member is getting “screen time”
this is probably the very best of all Tekking's video, finally a video focused only WHANG ZHI!!!!
Ah come on Tekking I literally started the video ASAP just to hear you scream WANG ZHI!!!
With the backstory of IRL WANG makes me think OP WANG was the rocks pirates navigator, so...
Rocks= luffy/captain
WB=zoro/right hand
BM=chopper/doctor(i mean she healed herself with her soul power)
WANG=nami/navigator
I feel like Blackbeard took the Mihawk Seraphim and kidnapped Koby to control it.
That’s a little doubtful, tbh. Don’t think Koby was able to control the Seraphim
@@exempligratia101 I thought he did, he did command the boa one to stop
@@eliaspanayi3465 the one that stopped was the mihawk one
@@exempligratia101 he was controlling them
We didn't really see what happened to the other one so this is possible however they may find some degree of difficulty with that. I think Koby had to repeat his orders to try and get the one that looked like Boa Hancock to stop so either they don't consider him high up on their command structure (whatever that is) or they are harder to control than the previous versions.
I think that koby helped with negotiations with blackbeard that saved the civilians at the rocky port
You'd think all the really old pirates in the world would be trying to capture the FUCK out of Bonnie considering her devil fruit could revert them to their prime.
Remove the 3 words before fk
Pretty sure it also has haki limitation like law
I don’t think they have a profile on who has what devil fruit
@@sarov7658 definitely like laws fruit it creates a room and those that are within the radius get affected. However the awakening may permanently leave the effect of aging.
bonnie's fruit's power isnt permanent on others sadly
Every time, in any one of your videos, when you yell Wang Zhi I get startled and I start laughing at the same time. Never stop being yourself, Tekking, it brings a smile to many people out there!
I'd love to hear your take on a "What if Geco Moria beat Kaido in their war/rivalry?"
I just knew tekking was gonna thrown in 1 more WANG ZHI at the end. Loved the vid
Still waiting on That intro where you teach us how to tie a tie. We come here for one piece and life lessons. Deliver
I was thoroughly dissatisfied when hearing the compromise. I wanted to hear WAANNNGHH ZHHHIIII at least 20 times. Still love the videos.
WANG ZHIIIIII!!! YEAH! I love that he finally was brought up again.
I remember John in Thriller Bark. He was the only one of the dead guys that didn't really listen to them much.
Please can you make another manga collection video
Please do a video on Hikone and Ikkimikidomoe from the light novels
Even Garp knew to respect the legendary name of WANG
Of course the spider was staring at you
You just screamed WAAAANG ZHI!!
js that captain john's fate might also be the same fate that buggy will face. buggy might get "found out" and everybody rebels. just a thought. I don't think he has captain john's treasure yet.
I'm happy you made a video on this because when I read the chapter this was the main thing on my mind. Rocky port is like pearl harbor to one piece citizens
I always imagined Wang Zhe as a gun version of Zoro's Asura; something like a multi-armed, naruto-killer bee version of a firearm grandmaster.
Yeah this sounds cool as Shit 😂
Always? How long have you thought about WANG ZHI being a gunsman?
@@torredurant1523 Since he was mentioned
Every time you shout Wang Zhi I gain a few more minutes of life
I know am forced to think of Wang Zhi as the old guy from SpongeBob. Blackbeard arrives on the island and Wang Zhi says “I love the young people”
Tekking you are one of the goats of youtube for sure
👍
The spider stare down means that Black Maria is approaching
im happy ur making a vid on this, cuz nobody is talking about it, bb even with TWO DEVIL FRUITS needed help from law and coby to defeat whang zhi, the rocks pirates are so overpowered
The last chapter got me really curious about Silver Axe. After all he’s the only member of the Rocks Pirates who is still unaccounted for. I’m not anticipating him playing any major roles, but maybe a name drop like they did with Wang to kinda explain his fate or maybe he will show up in a flashback. Whatever the case, I don’t think Oda will leave Silver Axe as a blank slate for much longer (in One Piece time).
That is something I am interested in too. It seems that the Rocks Pirates are playing a role in events even if only by being mentioned or used to move the characters or the plot forward. I hope to know what he has gotten up to soon.
Rocks: Probably dead, likely killed in the fight with Garp and Roger
Silver Axe: Believed to be dead (folks think Gekko Moriah had his corpse along with Captain John's; this isn'tactually confirmed)
Captain John: Dead, Moriah had his corpse, Buggy wants his treasure
Shiki: Somewhere out in the world
Whitebeard: Dead, buried at Sphinx
Big Mom: Defeated, but we don't know if she is alive or dead
Kaido: Same as Big Mom
Wang Zhi: Seemingly killed by Blackbeard in the Rocky Port incident which led to his 2.2 billion berry bounty, Koby and Law were also involved (Koby was promoted to Captain, Law was made into a Warlord)
Ms. Bakkin: We will probably see her in the next couple of chapters with Weevil since Weevil, Doffy (probably still in Impel Down), and Moriah are the only Warlords we haven't seen in the past few chapters
My theory is Captain John's treasure was Rocks's treasure that he stole when Xebec was fighting Roger and Garp. I think Big Mom, Kaido, or one of the others was the one who killed him to get the treasure back but failed to find it. If Kaido was the one who killed him, then he could have buried John's corpse in Wano. Moriah would have gotten his corpse at the same time he took Ryuma's in this scenario.
I want to see Shiki in canon, to be honest.
Also, there are only nine known members of the Rocks Pirates at this point. I think there will be at least one more introduced in the future.
I’m getting confused, isn’t it obvious it was Black Beard, Koby, and Law vs WAAAANG ZHIIII.
But I get we don’t how that fight went.
I’m under the impression that BB wasn’t there for the Rocky Port incident, however he just happened to take advantage of the power vacuum/chaos after they left.
Whenever Matt says the phrase "wang zhi"
He he is obligated by the forces of the universe and the laws of creation to shout it out in the form of bloodthirsty cry...
Damn hasn't even been 5 minutes and the bots are already sniping my comment...
I like how Tekking, when discussing the historical Wang Zhi, uses his best attempt at the Mandarin pronunciation and when he talks about the One Piece character he uses our much beloved "WHAAAAAAANGGGGG GEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" or Ouchoku.
I low-key hope that Oda gives us the Wang Zhi loves pudding flashback. C'mon, grandpa!
I always pause videos before starting so I can get comfortable. this pose and title tells me I am gonna love this video.....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG
What if zebec just wanted to take over the world so he can make one massive bakery and wang zi was continuing his dream with the remaining members of the rocks crew and that is were shiki was
Olny 3 WAAANG ZHIII’s in a WAAANG ZHIII video!? You are braking my heart Tekking💔
What if Wang Yhi had the mythical nine fox tail df and that is the reason both went to attach Hashinoshu
Tekking is Tekking don't take that away from him guys. You're limiting my man.
we know that Koby dreamt of joining the navy with him possibly becoming an admiral someday what if this stems from Koby being the grandson or great-grandson or great-nephew of Wang Zhi and Zhi was taken aback by Koby's homecoming.
that would make him a literal reverse luffy lmao
@@mateo0123 well yeah
It’s seriously unsettling hearing Tekking speak that name normally… keep on screaming it my king!!
There’s an old theory that Wang Zhi had the Long-Long fruit. Similarly to how Wicked Dick had the Hard-Hard fruit.
So he’d be a … long long man?
underrated comment
9:21 just seconds before you said this I was thinking his outline looked like Kenpachi from Bleach
Thanks for the history on wang zhi irl tekking I never knew he brought the Portuguese to Japan and introduced firearms
Dude Bonnie teams up to restore wangs former power and he helps take down. Black beard
Here's a Monkey fact.
The Main character of One Piece, Luffy's family name is Monkey.
Luffy = Red-Tailed Monkey.
Nika = Sun-Tailed Monkey.
Garp = Red-handed Tamarin or Red-handed Howler.
I can't think of 1 for Dragon though.
If Nami was a Monkey she'd be a Golden lion tamarin.
If Shanks was a Monkey he'd be a Red-Shanked Douc.
Someone knows his Monkeys
I would be willing to pay Money to have a Version of this Video with the Waaang Zhiii every single time the Name is mentioned instead of only 3 times
Blackbeard is somewhat responsible of the downfall of 2 off the old generation pirates: Whitebeard and Ochoku. He could've killed Rayleigh had he fought him. Could it be that one of BB's role is to kill off all the old characters? Maybe Garp and Sengoku think they have to rescue Coby which may lead to their downfall as well?
That may be part of his role in the story, but I doubt he will only try to stick to that.
I LOVE THR WANG ZHI SCREAM ITS BEEN MY FAVORITE TEKKING JOKE SINCE IT STARTED PLEASE
"Maybe there were civilians on the Hachinosu, maybe he became a good guy"
Or maybe pirates had civilians as basically hostages living amongst them so the government would refrain from all out attack without having a huge backlash. Like crime factions all over the world use local population as fodder on ghettos and such
the thing is marines do not care. Especially concerning rocks. they gonna buster call that shit.
@@sarthakarora3212 actually they do care but like Ohara the Celestial Dragons can outweigh it and call them even if the public opinion goes down and there are dissent in their lines and defectors like Saul.
would a retired pirate really wanna go that far? i doubt it
Love how I’m on TH-cam and see tekking with 669k subs and a dude with 2 mil subs yet they both post a new video tekking was 2 hour and had 14k view and 2 million sub dude was at 2 hours with 9k views keep it going tekking look forward to everyone of your videos
knew this was coming!!! I’ll never be able to hear the name WAAANNNGGG ZZHHIII without thinking of tekking..God save the cringe king
Todays episode is the prerequisite requirement for a formal invitation to “Wang Zhi Day”
I could be wrong but I thought the Straw Hats found Captain John’s treasure. It was the treasure they got from thriller bark and that’s why the treasure had captain John’s stuff in it
But it wasnt all of it, wasnt it there luffy found the armband that lead to the real treasure?
That was the precursor to captain John treasure. As in like a sample of his real treasure trove
Thanks for the WAAANNGG XI!! Video! I enjoyed it lol.
2:23 did you really pass up the chance to say "and you have Kaido who would later become a duck"
This video made me think of a theory, but I’m not sure if anyone mentioned it before. What if Wang Zhi is the “Man with the burn scar”? It would make sense since Law had a serious look on his face when Kidd mentioned him. Ochoku might have some information about the One Piece or a road poneglyph while he was with the Rocks pirates. So it would make sense for Kidd’s interest in him and it would be a cool way to introduce more members of the Rocks Pirates
If wang had the “transform into other people fruit” it would make a lot of sense to have civilians on the island so you can disguise yourself as one… so coby had maybe observation Haki to find him because Blackbeard just killed everyone. So coby as a relatively weak character could by snitching Wang, save civilians.
Also the moment Tekking sad 3 times I knew it would be at least 4 😂
Tbf one of them was a Blackbeard impression
Last video at the end when you said “make sure you tune in next time for some WANG G” shit had me crying bro
12:45 - Don't forget that all of Big Mom's children over the age of 40 were probably members of the Rocks Pirates.
14:50 - Big Mom's oldest children would've been kids, but now are in their prime.
17:25 - False! Rocky Port was a marine base incident that Trafalgar Law masterminded to leave 100 pirate hearts in order to become a warlord.
21:15 - No, it was stated to be during the Rocky Port incident.
24:50 - Can you cover the mythical monkeys, like Sun Wukong & Hanuman?
Wang zhi is the man marked by flame, thats why we see law looking grim when kid mentioned it, Wang zhi is missing due to the rocky port incident
I don’t think it can be the same place bc the government only help those that pay the heavenly tribute and I can all but promise that they wouldn’t have sent coby there to rescue civilians- even if there were citizens on the pirate island the government wouldn’t help them so that whole situation couldn’t exist in the first place. Unless they kidnapped civilians and took them to the island I think they have to be on separate islands
I was thinking that Shaki could possibly still have been a part of the Rocks crew. In fact what is she was “Silver Axe”?! Silvers Raleigh and Silver Axe Shaki? That would be crazy.
Could it be that Portgas D Rouge was a former Empress of Amazon Lilly? Rouge is a type of rose. Who better for the Pirate King to have a kid with? She also wears a flower in her hair like Granny.
Just some random ideas I wanted to throw your way. Thanks for the great content Tekking.
You know the Drunken Ore metal we still really don't know were it's been made and Kaido actually didn't use any of it in Wano so odds are someone else in the New World is behind producing Drunken Ore Metal. If Big Mom and Kaido went off to become emperors there is a chance other remaining Rox members became Equally as big figures in the underworld also would explain why not all Brokers were invited to the Tea Party. Because the ones working with or for former Rox pirate's would know the mixed History and wouldn't be invited for this reason. Too add to this we still haven't really seen something similar to a secret society in the One piece world but I believe Trebol was a member of something like this that has members out there who are trying to Spark the next generation and control them. I believe if there is a Pirates equalivent to the Elder Stars this Secret society would have the former Members or Rox that didn't become Emperors but were Brokers and working together for a common purpose.
Ah, I've been waiting for this one since the chapter dropped.
I really wished Oda had showed WANG ZHI in the chapter. Cause it debunked him being the Chinese General zombie from Thriller Bark. Since he is alive and it seems he got away after his defeat.
The spider is looking at you like
"What do you know of Wang Zi, boy?"
I believe that Zhi will be a future threat to Momo and Yamato and even when dead because he will return in the form of a Seraphim because his historical counterpart was a warlord I believe that Zhi was one of the first warlords.
17:52 that "damnit oda" I felt it though the screen
While I'm nervous about Koby being the clutches of Blackbeard and his crew, I would find it funny and maybe even likely that Oda will make Koby's imprisonment ALOT like his time on Alvida's ship. I mean Koby is strong, but considering how powerful Blackbeard and his crew is, Koby may be on the level of chore boy comparatively.
So Koby's hostage situation and imprisonment could maybe be like him cleaning the floorboards after the crews drunken excursions
That's dark as hell. I'd love it.
Koby is the tenth captain
Idk why tekking screaming wange so much bothers you guys😭 it’s honestly hilarious. Anyways, love your videos tekking. Been watching him since I was in middle school. I’m now 19
Edward Newgate: Good morning, shipmates!
Kaidou: (He aims his spiked club at Newgate.) And, WHAT'S good about it, Newgate?
Edward Newgate: (He is frightened by Kaidou and runs away.)
Shiki: (He aims his sword at Newgate, which scares him.) Here we are, collecting barnacles on this miserable island.
Wang Zhi: (He aims his gun at Newgate's head.) When his nibs plays ring-around-the-rosie with the Celestial Dragons.
Edward Newgate: (frightened) But, that gun, it might go off.
Bakkin: (He ties Newgate in a rope around the neck.) We should be in the business of looting ships.
Silver Axe: And I've almost forgotten how to slit the throat. (He cuts the rope, and Newgate breaks free and runs towards the Captain's Quarters.)
Charlotte Linlin: Better hop it! (She and the other Rocks Pirates throw knives at Newgate.)
Streusen: And tell ze Captain ve vant to go to ze sea!
Edward Newgate: (He dodges every knife and blows raspberries at all of them.
Rocks D. Xebec: (furious) BLAST those Celestial Dragons! If I could only find where they hide their mighty Devil Fruits I'd TRAP them in their lair. But where are they? (He looks at the map.) Fishman Island? No, we've searched that. Old Wano Country? (He points to a place on the map.) HERE? No! No no! That's Amazon Lily. (He looks at the map again.) But wait, those man haters know this world better than me at me own ship. Hmmm... I wonder...
Edward Newgate: (smiles) Good morning, captain!
Rocks D. Xebec: (He grabs Newgate.) I'VE GOT IT! Finally, Newgate!
Edward Newgate: (nervous) Finally c-captain?
Rocks D. Xebec: The Lily Princess! She'll know where those snob-nosed Celestials are hiding their Devil Fruits.
Edward Newgate: (nervous) B-but! Will she talk, Captain?
Rocks D. Xebec: A little pursuasion might be in order.
I have a feeling the Wang Gi shout will be like the Orochi voice in that while not used as much it will never (fully) go away
