Actually, it would be really karmic if Helmeppo beat Kuro considering that Kuro's initial "defeat" before he went into hiding is what gave Morgan so much if his fame in the first place.
That would be an interesting twist, the son of the man who supposedly captured Kuro defeating the person who gave his father such a big head to begin with.
I genuinely think Helmeppo could take on any of the East Blue saga enemys, and even some of the Baroque Works leaders honestly. Not only does he have at least a rough grasp on haki, but he's got the Rokushiki techniques as well (at least some of them) Having Shave alone would mean that he could speed blitz most of them, and since those enemies didn't have Armament haki to protect themselves those Kukri should do some real work. I mean even Kuro's "special technique" was just a very rudimentary version of Shave. The only one he would maybe struggle with is Krieg because of the armor, but even then, i'm sure he would be fine.

@@arindam7150 bro if you think that means anything lmfaoooo Akainu wouldn't argue with Garp, man would be one shotted and tied up in his own Hawaiian shirt before he could open his mouth, Garp already wants to kill him.
To be fair to Drake, Luffy, Law, and the Scabbards were NOT apart of Swords plans and strategy. Drake could have been planning to stay in kido’s crew for way longer than this point and luffy did what luffy does best, “luffy” up someone else’s plan
Yeah. Marines and The World Government like to play the long game when it comes to subterfuge. Like CP9 becoming well respected members of Galley-La. Drake was literally a spy. If he had to wait ten years before he could get useful openings or information out of the Beast Pirates, he was probably gonna do it.
I'll say this. Both Koby and Helmepoo should be playable characters on the next One Piece fighting game or Warriors type game, cuz we just need more Marine classes playable.
Watching this I just realized something else to be excited for in the final saga that not many people are thinking about. Koby and his crew v. Strawhats. To some extent at least, Koby wants to think Luffy is his rival plus a strong sense of morality makes it so he won’t ever truly fight Luffy. Similar to the Shanks situation, they’ll have a damned intense sparring session mirroring Garp and Roger that ends in more respect.
didn't drake save law? without that big mom would have taken down kid and then Luffy would be taken down faster. every action had importance though it's great oda is showing more of the marines might as we go through the story too. could see a big civil war occur during the final arc
28:45 What about Koby vs Alvida? I'd love to see that, since he used to be a cabin boy on her crew. I'd bring his character full circle and show how much he's grown from the wimpy kid he used to be.
Does anyone think helmeppo will beg luffy to help save coby? Would be cool seeing hellmeppo temporarily being a part of the crew in order to save coby and defeat blackbeard. Woould be a very cool way to tie in luffys next encounter with blackbeard, i know most people are going to say luffy wont be bothered by coby being taken by the bb pirates, but after what teach did to ace, he will make sure that coby wont be harmed.
We're slowly getting more side characters in the new arc. Possible for that to happen but idk what goal we have now aside from finding the fourth Rode Poneglyph.
List of characters I personally think Current Helmeppo could take Or tie with. *Fat Alvida *Axhand Morgan *Cpt. Kuro *Don Krieg & Gin (& Pearl) *The chefs of Barratie (minus Zeff) *Whisky Peak Bounty Hunters (though not All v. 1 Zoro style) *The Numbers up to and including Mr. 3 + partners *Yaya Bellamy *4 priests of Eneru *Most of the shipbuilders of Water 7 *Spandam *Duval *Van Der Dekken
It really sucks about x drake he was one of the cooler super nova. Present with the ope ope no mi.. law asking how many people he killed after stopping killer and urogue attacks single handedly, was the only one to actually damage a pasifista Only to be spider man 3’d
Lol, also didnt Urouge damage a pasifista pre-timeskip too? He did get the short end of the stick though, but that is how I feel about all of the non-top 5 supernovas in Wano though. Drake barely got anything to do in that arc.
1. I think Drakes mission was to get information of kaido’s poneglyph and to monitor kaidos plans 2. Theirs a great scene in the movie The Departed and I think that parallels probably how drake became An undercover operative
I think that Helmeppo is around the level of Arlong at this point. He knows 2 of the 6 powers and probably a bit of observation haki. I think he stands a decent chance. He's definitely taking out Buggy, Kuro, and *DON KREIG*!!!!!. I also think he could do the thing Zoro did at Whiskey peak and take out all 300 Baroque works agents. I wouldn't sleep on how strong he's gotten. The 6 powers are no joke and even the straw hats had an extremely hard time against anyone who had even a basic understanding of observation haki. I.e. Enel's priests. Edit: punctuation.
Coby can likely beat anyone Luffy faced before crocodile (not counting smoker) Helmeppo could probably face any of the second in commands up until the same point. Helmeppo being trained by Garp should be able to fight a Fishman just Arlong seemed particularly strong.
I know were not friends in real life, but you're so chill and cool that when your video starts, it feels like were friends. That might be a little sad, sure, but you know what? It's a compliment to you. You're doing great things. Cheers mate.
I really LOVE your Elmepo voice, i hope he becomes important only to hear more of him (tekking version). I don't actually "like" the character by himself but i can dig it.
Agreed, he probably just took the opportunity to take down Kaido once it presented itself because those kinds of opportunities don't come along often. I wonder why he hasn't contacted SWORD yet though.
I don't think Drake even switched sides because the opportunity to maybe take down Kaido came up; he did it because he got found out by Who's Who and Queen.
@@davidortiz3094 I never said he could, but he probably thought that Luffy could. I don't think he ever thought he would be able to take down Kaido on his own and if discovered his best hope would be to escape. Given that Luffy had come with an army of people, Drake probably thought that the best idea was to work with Luffy.
i don't know if anyone has already commented on this (at least i don't see any), but I LOVE YOUR IMPRESSION AND VOICE OF HELMEPPO!!! i replayed it so many times and it makes my day XD
not even 10 seconds in and just wanted to say you are a gem Tekking! You got a personality that really pulls the viewer in and takes them on your wavelength! Keep being you man. Cant wait for the Bleach vids this OCT!
I think Drake's main goal was feeding information about the Beast Pirates to the Marines in order to find a weakness to exploit. Imagine if he found out about Yamato's hatred for her father and got her to team-up with the Marines to take Kaido down
Calling it now, once all the major fighting is over and done with, in one of the few epilogue chapters (because I’m assuming we’ll get a few) Luffy and Colby will have a shits and giggles fight between friends to see how far they’ve come. Zoro will be there to witness and ref it. And maybe other characters that know both of them. After the fight they’re all gonna eat a feast because One Piece.
0:19 Sure, remember the weapon of choice of the boy who became savior of the universe? A shield, to the greatest power he ever had was the power to change. Both himself and others. 16:01 A dedicated Doll Video could be genuinely interesting. If you make one about Darker than BLACK's Dolls that is. Because there is a lot to unpack there. And albeit being mostly devoid of any character traits by default there are at least three dolls that are really interesting. 20:47 Even without either SWORD or the Marines. Helmeppo wants to safe his best friend. Makes sense. It still amazing how good friends the two became given how their first meeting went... 33:44 Come to think of it: A meeting "Reunion" of Zorro and Helmeppo could be interesting. The aren't in the best terms to put in lightly. 35:42 There is a gargantuan problem I see with the Wishlists for this arc now that Vegapunk was introduced. "Vegapunk will explain this and that and _everything_ . First up; Even Vegapunk does NOT know everything. Who/What is Ihm? What is Blackbeard up to? How would she know? And more importantly. Even with the things she does know because she found them out herself; why would she tell the Strawhats? What's to gain from that? A whole lotta nothing.
As I've said in this potential Egghead Island arc could have the Cross Guild as its foes imagine if Captain Morgan returns as a mercenary ready to claim the bounties of Tashigi Doll and the SWORD agents.
It would actually be really cool if this is where Smoker also got his upgrade in a way. Maybe Vegapunk is telling Smoker all about the awakening of devil fruits and helping Smoker awaken his fruit or maybe Smoker has just awakened his fruit but is still getting used to it and therefore getting some info from Vegapunk. Would be even crazier if Vegapunk knows a lot about Haki too and is discussing this with Smoker too. I feel like this would be a good way to make Smoker a super powerful character again but also give us plenty of information surrounding fruits and potentially more on Haki since we keep finding out more about it as well and the different levels to it.
21:52 Hey Tekking I love your videos and have been watching since 2016. To answer you’re question of what voice you did for your Helmeppo impression it closely resembles Prince Achmed from the Aladdin Parody Musical , Twisted.
Hey Tekking, love your videos for real, but I have a suggestion, if you put scenes from the manga would really help illustrate what you're talking about, sometimes you mention characters, places ou other things that aren't famous within One Piece and it's kinda hard to follow without a image for reference
I think helmeppo can beat all the main people in the east blue even his dad. It’s a testament to his and kobys strength that they ranked up so fast and being so young. I think the Marines taking to consideration long term loyalty kind of like businesses. No matter how hard you work you can’t just jump to the top overnight but you will jump ahead faster than people who’ve been there for a very long time.
i think if koby goes to garp with the fact tht he wants to be an admiral and garp goes ok and does a training time where all it is is koby fighting garp day in day out getting beat and told to get back up while being beat down and garp's just like if you wanna be an admiral u HAVE to be able to beat me, and garp isn't holding back to show him what it takes, and through this he becomes an admiral i could see it.
20:58 Same, Gigguk. It's the exact same reason why I love Rudy in Mushoku Tensei so much. Pretty much the only difference is that Helmeppo is a side character so we don't focus on him much, while Rudy is the MC
I feel like Koby went with Blackbeard willing to prevent casualties, but we might also learn that Aikoji is a part of Sword if Koby meets the 10 commanders of Blackbeard's crew, and Koby knows that he can't blow his cover
4:20 His job might have just been to keep tabs on what Kaido was doing, and he might prevented strong people to join, as well. He might also have been told by Caribou about Shirahoshi, as a means to buy his freedom, and kept that intel from Kaido
It's a possibility that Drake has been on this mission for years but honestly, I think Drake wants to restore his family name and be a respected Marine. I find it a bit more plausible that he really was a Pirate and was approached by the Marines to undertake this mission using the clout, DF and experience he already had. Helping to take down a Yonko, while also restoring his family's name and possibly getting a rank doesn't sound like a bad deal, especially when there's a bounty on your head.
28:30 Helmeppo has Rokushiki, he can destroy Kuro and Krieg. Kuro's *ultimate move* was an incomplete version of Soru, and there's nothing in Krieg's arsenal that can not be countered by Tekkai, or even a bit of armament haki that Helmeppo is likely to be able to muster at this point
@@SW15H agreed I’m sure he’s there. I really think smokies devil friuit and personality are great I hope he becomes relevant strength wise in the show again. It would be sick for him to be a admiral by the end of the story.
Ive had a theory that Sengoku started SWORD after what happened with Corazon/Rosiante. His mission with doffy kinda parallels drake in the beast pirates
On different note the discussion about Bonney, she might not be Queen Dowager Conney of the Sorbet Kingdom, but she is daughter or granddaughter of hers and with her fruit power she changed her age to look like her the real Conney.
1. Hibari has been seen before, but not by that name and not in the main series. 2. Helmeppo can defeat his dad and probably Arlong too because he does have rokushiki techniques. The strongest character he could go against would probably be Nero or one of the lesser CP-9 agents. 3. Koby can probably match any of the Straw Hats who don't have armament haki. And then probably anyone they have beaten
Tekking could you make a video kinda exploring the idea of Of the lineage factor and how it corresponds with luffys abilities since his abilities make more sense now, knowing he has the Model Nika. Maybe this is how he can blow air into his bones and maybe this explains why we didn't understand gear 4 before
I just realized that Diez, X Drake's last name is spanish for ten, as well as X being ten in roman numerals. I literally just now noticed. This news to anybody else? lol
It’s hard estimating current Helmeppo’s strength but I feel pretty confident he could take down Chū and maybe Abdullah and Jeet but that’s about the peak of where he’s at currently to me.
I think your theory of koby wanting to join Blackbeard holds some water but I don’t think they expected it to happen that way just because of how it went down but there was one comment where he stated that koby helped him in some way, he might do it but I don’t think it’s a sword plan
Drake also most likely would have killed that CP0 agent if Kaido hadn’t stole his kill, and the mortal wound he gave the agent directly led to Luffy awakening his fruit
It's interesting, a lot of people viewed/view Smoker as Luffy's Garp. So it would be interesting for him to be Sword(even if not sword), Luffy and Smoker join to save Koby, and suddenly you have a comparable to the God Valley Incident for them.
I know this is off topic but I've been thinking about this but do y'all think, Luffys devil fruit alters his linage factor allowing him to do things like blow air into his bones, and this could also help to understand gear 4 and his flame abilities since his devil fruit is a God fruit. This would explain why some of his abilities that make no sense or you should say now make complete sense
can you make a video on how luffy’s new strength affects the story, bc he’s kind of at that level where he can somewhat easily beat anybody not named shanks, blackbeard, possibly akainu and mihawk? Kind of changes the dynamic of the story
I do believe that out of all the marines that we have now that Smoker is the one who is somewhat on the closest path to becoming the next admiral or even fleet admiral depending on what Oda does with him, however we know that he is still not strong enough and has a long way too go. Having said that Oda can still make Smoker super powerful by the end of the story. Smoker actually has a really good and useful fruit which would boost him even more when awakened and he knows haki and so all he really needs to do is make his three types of haki stronger overall to a good level and also choose one of three and potentially develop it to a high level and if he does those things he definitely becomes one of the strongest.
I feel like the next step for drake would be to go to Buggy now that the navy needs to get info on a new yonko and he's still a "pirate" in many people's eyes.
I think Drake could be the Smoker of Wano, as in the WG try to put the deed of beatin a yonko on hus effort to take cradit from the strawhats. Cause the WG probably know of sword, with the ciphers and everything they could spin Drake as a new pr hero
helmeppos dream was actually to get his old luxurious life back. thats what he said back then to coby when they talked about their motivation to start training at night. and he definately could beat arlong from back then. keep in mind that coby and helmeppo learned the techniques like geppo from garp. id place them right now on cp9 water seven level honestly, coby probably even higher
I think Koby will achieve Admiral by the end of the story. You can say hes too young but, as the story progresses and the power scaling increases i think hell probably end up as an Admiral regardless of his age. Luffy is a bit young to be pirate king too, hes really only been a pirate for 3-4 years but of course he will become pirate king regardless.
I like the idea of The Marines giving Drake the Allosaurus fruit to make him more appealing to Kaido, and them setting up a scenario for Drake to “steal” the fruit from The Marines and escape to sea as his initial betrayal. I also just keep imagining hes still laying on the ground of Onigashima waiting for someone to come get him
Vegapunk talks about how you cant get rid of the primal instincts in cloning. Seraphim Boa will fall in love with Luffy. Seraphim Mihawk will have his same sense of pride. By the end of the story all remaining seraphim will join up with their human counterparts and live life as regular people.
Wait so could BB be the next dude the strawhats will fight? Helmeppo will probably act on his own and go to egghead, he’ll meet luffy and the gang and luffy might just go and save Coby.. We might get the Roger Garp Rocks parallel soon, especially since Im has finally shown what he probably used to get rid of God Valley, and he will probably get rid of Hachinosu if Luffy and BB are there.
I doubt that even though the straw hats are increasing their power, facing BB at Hachinosou might not be a good idea. They’ll most likely get upgrades from Egghead-which’ll be extremely useful-for their final journey to Laugh Tale. Koby will most likely be fine despite his capture.
considering how corrupt Helmeppo's father was I think Helmeppo aspires to be a marine inspector.
I can see that. He had a HUGE turn around after Garp took him and Koby under his wing. Like this dood has come so far and has shown he's a good man at heart.

@@nicolascelisperez8090 Akainu was Admiral and now Fleet Admiral he is higher position than Garp within the Marines
@@arindam7150 Thats wrong. It is an unspoken given that Garp hold a seat for himself because he is the symbol of justice. If the WG could they would have gotten rid of him, but they can't afford that. So if Garp would do something like this he would get away with it
@@arindam7150 bro if you think that means anything lmfaoooo Akainu wouldn't argue with Garp, man would be one shotted and tied up in his own Hawaiian shirt before he could open his mouth, Garp already wants to kill him.
To be fair to Drake, Luffy, Law, and the Scabbards were NOT apart of Swords plans and strategy. Drake could have been planning to stay in kido’s crew for way longer than this point and luffy did what luffy does best, “luffy” up someone else’s plan
Yeah. Marines and The World Government like to play the long game when it comes to subterfuge. Like CP9 becoming well respected members of Galley-La.
Drake was literally a spy.
If he had to wait ten years before he could get useful openings or information out of the Beast Pirates, he was probably gonna do it.
Drake 100% was what are you talking about lol It was just earlier then he expected
@@skelitonking117 Drake was a spy. He was not trying to take kaido down.
@@gaeron1305 He couldn't do crap to the Beast Pirates.
@@davidortiz3094 he could maybe take Jack or queen. That's best case.
I'll say this. Both Koby and Helmepoo should be playable characters on the next One Piece fighting game or Warriors type game, cuz we just need more Marine classes playable.
Im hoping Koby Garp and Sengoku become playable in PW5 once it comes out
Maybe later after we know their move set.
@@justawanderingoldman7699 I would agree, but if PW3 and 4 can make up moves for Shanks, they can do the same for Koby and Helmepoo.
I don't think it was about taking down the yonko and more a marine intelligence network to circumvent Cipher Pol
Law's ultimate escape method, cutting off his hands/feet to escape seastone cuffs, then using his fruit power to reattach them.
you think he could cast ROOM without hands? im not sure
@@InsanePigeon if he can just get one off then probably
Watching this I just realized something else to be excited for in the final saga that not many people are thinking about. Koby and his crew v. Strawhats. To some extent at least, Koby wants to think Luffy is his rival plus a strong sense of morality makes it so he won’t ever truly fight Luffy. Similar to the Shanks situation, they’ll have a damned intense sparring session mirroring Garp and Roger that ends in more respect.
didn't drake save law? without that big mom would have taken down kid and then Luffy would be taken down faster. every action had importance
though it's great oda is showing more of the marines might as we go through the story too. could see a big civil war occur during the final arc
Can't wait to see the discussion between Koby and Kuzan now
28:45 What about Koby vs Alvida? I'd love to see that, since he used to be a cabin boy on her crew. I'd bring his character full circle and show how much he's grown from the wimpy kid he used to be.
He could probably no-low diff
Helmeppo I think could definitely take on kuro , Morgans , don krieg , even grand line villains like Mr 3 or Sarquiss and Bellamy
@Buggy I don’t think so
Does anyone think helmeppo will beg luffy to help save coby? Would be cool seeing hellmeppo temporarily being a part of the crew in order to save coby and defeat blackbeard. Woould be a very cool way to tie in luffys next encounter with blackbeard, i know most people are going to say luffy wont be bothered by coby being taken by the bb pirates, but after what teach did to ace, he will make sure that coby wont be harmed.
We're slowly getting more side characters in the new arc. Possible for that to happen but idk what goal we have now aside from finding the fourth Rode Poneglyph.
I really needed a video to watch, perfect timing
Same here. I' ve been refreshing youtube's homepage for a while
Sword goal wasn’t to take down Yonko but to spy on, sent info, to stay ahead whatever they see as threat.
Information is power, the more information you have about your enemies, the better prepared you are to eventually fight them.
I think drake mission is to just inform Kaido moves. I think he the one informed the marines that Kaido was going to marineford during ace execution.
That would make sense.
List of characters I personally think Current Helmeppo could take Or tie with.
*Fat Alvida
*Axhand Morgan
*Cpt. Kuro
*Don Krieg & Gin (& Pearl)
*The chefs of Barratie (minus Zeff)
*Whisky Peak Bounty Hunters (though not All v. 1 Zoro style)
*The Numbers up to and including Mr. 3 + partners
*Yaya Bellamy
*4 priests of Eneru
*Most of the shipbuilders of Water 7
*Spandam
*Duval
*Van Der Dekken
It really sucks about x drake he was one of the cooler super nova. Present with the ope ope no mi.. law asking how many people he killed after stopping killer and urogue attacks single handedly, was the only one to actually damage a pasifista
Only to be spider man 3’d
Lol, also didnt Urouge damage a pasifista pre-timeskip too? He did get the short end of the stick though, but that is how I feel about all of the non-top 5 supernovas in Wano though. Drake barely got anything to do in that arc.
1. I think Drakes mission was to get information of kaido’s poneglyph and to monitor kaidos plans
2. Theirs a great scene in the movie The Departed and I think that parallels probably how drake became An undercover operative
my headcanon is Drake betraying the marines by "stealing" the allosaur fruit, nice setup to later get into the beast pirates.
Is it just me or does Tekkings hair looks like Helmeppo's at 21:25 xD Love the vids man!
I think that Helmeppo is around the level of Arlong at this point. He knows 2 of the 6 powers and probably a bit of observation haki. I think he stands a decent chance. He's definitely taking out Buggy, Kuro, and *DON KREIG*!!!!!. I also think he could do the thing Zoro did at Whiskey peak and take out all 300 Baroque works agents. I wouldn't sleep on how strong he's gotten. The 6 powers are no joke and even the straw hats had an extremely hard time against anyone who had even a basic understanding of observation haki. I.e. Enel's priests.
Edit: punctuation.
How do we know Helmeppo has the 6 powers? Was it stated somewhere?
I'm a simple person. I see X Drake in the thumbnail, I click.
Also I second the notion for a Koby figure, so proud of that boy!
Coby can likely beat anyone Luffy faced before crocodile (not counting smoker) Helmeppo could probably face any of the second in commands up until the same point. Helmeppo being trained by Garp should be able to fight a Fishman just Arlong seemed particularly strong.
What if that Tenryuubito that got saved by Otohime is the creator of Sword?
Would explain his sudden reappearance
I'm very sure that Helmeppo has surpassed his father in strength by now.
I know were not friends in real life, but you're so chill and cool that when your video starts, it feels like were friends. That might be a little sad, sure, but you know what? It's a compliment to you. You're doing great things. Cheers mate.
I really LOVE your Elmepo voice, i hope he becomes important only to hear more of him (tekking version).
I don't actually "like" the character by himself but i can dig it.
Your choice of voice for Helmeppo was PERFECT, totally spot on. I couldn't help but laugh lol.
I think that drake probably wasn't trying to defeat kaido, more likely steal valuable information, and just generally lower the threat of kaido
Agreed, he probably just took the opportunity to take down Kaido once it presented itself because those kinds of opportunities don't come along often. I wonder why he hasn't contacted SWORD yet though.
I don't think Drake even switched sides because the opportunity to maybe take down Kaido came up; he did it because he got found out by Who's Who and Queen.
@@jamesvach6698 I don't even believe Drake can harm Kaido.
@@davidortiz3094 I never said he could, but he probably thought that Luffy could. I don't think he ever thought he would be able to take down Kaido on his own and if discovered his best hope would be to escape. Given that Luffy had come with an army of people, Drake probably thought that the best idea was to work with Luffy.
Tekking always pulls up at the right time with a vid
i don't know if anyone has already commented on this (at least i don't see any), but I LOVE YOUR IMPRESSION AND VOICE OF HELMEPPO!!! i replayed it so many times and it makes my day XD
not even 10 seconds in and just wanted to say you are a gem Tekking! You got a personality that really pulls the viewer in and takes them on your wavelength! Keep being you man. Cant wait for the Bleach vids this OCT!
I think Drake's main goal was feeding information about the Beast Pirates to the Marines in order to find a weakness to exploit.
Imagine if he found out about Yamato's hatred for her father and got her to team-up with the Marines to take Kaido down
The fight with CP0 was a double-ko. Scarf guy was gonna die regardless of if Kaido hit him or not
He’s a bit weird
He also freed Law from prison too.
@@kingjaylen9712 guy managed to catch Luffy, to me he didn't seem to be at death do, after all people have survived worse injuries
just became a member of the channel, youve been my fav youtuber for a year now
Calling it now, once all the major fighting is over and done with, in one of the few epilogue chapters (because I’m assuming we’ll get a few) Luffy and Colby will have a shits and giggles fight between friends to see how far they’ve come. Zoro will be there to witness and ref it. And maybe other characters that know both of them. After the fight they’re all gonna eat a feast because One Piece.
I wonder if Captain Morgan will make a return as a member of Blackbeard's crew & Helmeppo will actually fight him?
0:19 Sure, remember the weapon of choice of the boy who became savior of the universe? A shield, to the greatest power he ever had was the power to change.
Both himself and others.
16:01 A dedicated Doll Video could be genuinely interesting. If you make one about Darker than BLACK's Dolls that is. Because there is a lot to unpack there. And albeit being mostly devoid of any character traits by default there are at least three dolls that are really interesting.
20:47 Even without either SWORD or the Marines. Helmeppo wants to safe his best friend. Makes sense. It still amazing how good friends the two became given how their first meeting went...
33:44 Come to think of it: A meeting "Reunion" of Zorro and Helmeppo could be interesting. The aren't in the best terms to put in lightly.
35:42 There is a gargantuan problem I see with the Wishlists for this arc now that Vegapunk was introduced. "Vegapunk will explain this and that and _everything_ .
First up; Even Vegapunk does NOT know everything.
Who/What is Ihm?
What is Blackbeard up to?
How would she know?
And more importantly. Even with the things she does know because she found them out herself; why would she tell the Strawhats? What's to gain from that? A whole lotta nothing.
3:40 I feel like Drake's goal was just to convey info to the marines.
Same here.
As I've said in this potential Egghead Island arc could have the Cross Guild as its foes imagine if Captain Morgan returns as a mercenary ready to claim the bounties of Tashigi Doll and the SWORD agents.
Who would be the main villain of Cross Guild though? I am hoping for Mihawk
I really like these new marines so far. Doll. Hibari and Prince Gruss.
That being said I want to see the lady next to Prince Gruss fight.
It would actually be really cool if this is where Smoker also got his upgrade in a way. Maybe Vegapunk is telling Smoker all about the awakening of devil fruits and helping Smoker awaken his fruit or maybe Smoker has just awakened his fruit but is still getting used to it and therefore getting some info from Vegapunk. Would be even crazier if Vegapunk knows a lot about Haki too and is discussing this with Smoker too. I feel like this would be a good way to make Smoker a super powerful character again but also give us plenty of information surrounding fruits and potentially more on Haki since we keep finding out more about it as well and the different levels to it.
What if X Drake's dad was actually the founder of Sword and we only found out about it now because it's relevant to the plot
21:52 Hey Tekking I love your videos and have been watching since 2016. To answer you’re question of what voice you did for your Helmeppo impression it closely resembles Prince Achmed from the Aladdin Parody Musical , Twisted.
Hey Tekking, love your videos for real, but I have a suggestion, if you put scenes from the manga would really help illustrate what you're talking about, sometimes you mention characters, places ou other things that aren't famous within One Piece and it's kinda hard to follow without a image for reference
That's how people keep getting copyright strikes.
No one wants that to happen to tekking
I think Garp's no 2. Bogart is a member of the newly introduced Internal Affairs division
I think helmeppo can beat all the main people in the east blue even his dad. It’s a testament to his and kobys strength that they ranked up so fast and being so young. I think the Marines taking to consideration long term loyalty kind of like businesses. No matter how hard you work you can’t just jump to the top overnight but you will jump ahead faster than people who’ve been there for a very long time.
i think if koby goes to garp with the fact tht he wants to be an admiral and garp goes ok and does a training time where all it is is koby fighting garp day in day out getting beat and told to get back up while being beat down and garp's just like if you wanna be an admiral u HAVE to be able to beat me, and garp isn't holding back to show him what it takes, and through this he becomes an admiral i could see it.
20:58 Same, Gigguk. It's the exact same reason why I love Rudy in Mushoku Tensei so much.
Pretty much the only difference is that Helmeppo is a side character so we don't focus on him much, while Rudy is the MC
I feel like Koby went with Blackbeard willing to prevent casualties, but we might also learn that Aikoji is a part of Sword if Koby meets the 10 commanders of Blackbeard's crew, and Koby knows that he can't blow his cover
I think SWORD is more a group that is looking for pirates that if things go pear shaped that could be allies.
Everytime helmeppo is brought up I just gain this sense of satisfaction that he turned his character around for the better
Love the video and keep up the great work tekking
I like that no matter how matt looks, content is priority
4:20 His job might have just been to keep tabs on what Kaido was doing, and he might prevented strong people to join, as well. He might also have been told by Caribou about Shirahoshi, as a means to buy his freedom, and kept that intel from Kaido
It's a possibility that Drake has been on this mission for years but honestly, I think Drake wants to restore his family name and be a respected Marine. I find it a bit more plausible that he really was a Pirate and was approached by the Marines to undertake this mission using the clout, DF and experience he already had. Helping to take down a Yonko, while also restoring his family's name and possibly getting a rank doesn't sound like a bad deal, especially when there's a bounty on your head.
Dang that helmeppo impersonation would've been great voice acting in another universe. Seems so fitting for helmeppo characteristics.
28:30 Helmeppo has Rokushiki, he can destroy Kuro and Krieg. Kuro's *ultimate move* was an incomplete version of Soru, and there's nothing in Krieg's arsenal that can not be countered by Tekkai, or even a bit of armament haki that Helmeppo is likely to be able to muster at this point
Wouldn’t it be great if Smoker was on egg head island doing something to get stronger.
If Taishigi is there Smoke-san😤👀 cant be far away
@@SW15H agreed I’m sure he’s there. I really think smokies devil friuit and personality are great I hope he becomes relevant strength wise in the show again. It would be sick for him to be a admiral by the end of the story.
Like treating lung cancer?
Ive had a theory that Sengoku started SWORD after what happened with Corazon/Rosiante. His mission with doffy kinda parallels drake in the beast pirates
Interesting comparison. You could have something there.
On different note the discussion about Bonney, she might not be Queen Dowager Conney of the Sorbet Kingdom, but she is daughter or granddaughter of hers and with her fruit power she changed her age to look like her the real Conney.
Yeah it's the EggHead Island Arc. @33:53
Pretty sure Drake's main plot thing out of wano is him reporting bout cp0 and their conflict with shield later one and marine vs govt shit
Tekking I want to see a “What if” with the flying 6. If they caught Yamato which all star they would fight, why , and who would win.
Rising of the shield hero just melted down crying watching the beginning of this video
Dang, X Drake's story is really sad. I hope he was helping raid preparations from behind the scenes, similar to Denjiro
1. Hibari has been seen before, but not by that name and not in the main series.
2. Helmeppo can defeat his dad and probably Arlong too because he does have rokushiki techniques. The strongest character he could go against would probably be Nero or one of the lesser CP-9 agents.
3. Koby can probably match any of the Straw Hats who don't have armament haki. And then probably anyone they have beaten
Tekking could you make a video kinda exploring the idea of Of the lineage factor and how it corresponds with luffys abilities since his abilities make more sense now, knowing he has the Model Nika. Maybe this is how he can blow air into his bones and maybe this explains why we didn't understand gear 4 before
I just realized that Diez, X Drake's last name is spanish for ten, as well as X being ten in roman numerals. I literally just now noticed. This news to anybody else? lol
It’s hard estimating current Helmeppo’s strength but I feel pretty confident he could take down Chū and maybe Abdullah and Jeet but that’s about the peak of where he’s at currently to me.
Actually I’d also put most of the East blue villains before Arlong in there as well but I’m not sure about Krieg
Im watching this 2 years later now that egghead is over... still quality content
I think your theory of koby wanting to join Blackbeard holds some water but I don’t think they expected it to happen that way just because of how it went down but there was one comment where he stated that koby helped him in some way, he might do it but I don’t think it’s a sword plan
When you think about it. Law could have been in drake position in the marines. if he had found the right marine. Instead of Virgo.
Watching that intro after shield hero hits different.
Drake also most likely would have killed that CP0 agent if Kaido hadn’t stole his kill, and the mortal wound he gave the agent directly led to Luffy awakening his fruit
It's interesting, a lot of people viewed/view Smoker as Luffy's Garp. So it would be interesting for him to be Sword(even if not sword), Luffy and Smoker join to save Koby, and suddenly you have a comparable to the God Valley Incident for them.
I know this is off topic but I've been thinking about this but do y'all think, Luffys devil fruit alters his linage factor allowing him to do things like blow air into his bones, and this could also help to understand gear 4 and his flame abilities since his devil fruit is a God fruit.
This would explain why some of his abilities that make no sense or you should say now make complete sense
I’ve seen Garp as a figurine on Amazon and I’ve seen akainu punching a hole through aces chest as a figurine, only ones I’ve seen
can you make a video on how luffy’s new strength affects the story, bc he’s kind of at that level where he can somewhat easily beat anybody not named shanks, blackbeard, possibly akainu and mihawk? Kind of changes the dynamic of the story
Thank you for a great video guys
I do believe that out of all the marines that we have now that Smoker is the one who is somewhat on the closest path to becoming the next admiral or even fleet admiral depending on what Oda does with him, however we know that he is still not strong enough and has a long way too go. Having said that Oda can still make Smoker super powerful by the end of the story. Smoker actually has a really good and useful fruit which would boost him even more when awakened and he knows haki and so all he really needs to do is make his three types of haki stronger overall to a good level and also choose one of three and potentially develop it to a high level and if he does those things he definitely becomes one of the strongest.
I feel like the next step for drake would be to go to Buggy now that the navy needs to get info on a new yonko and he's still a "pirate" in many people's eyes.
I love how the comments are all about one piece and not a single one about the TH-camr
I think Drake could be the Smoker of Wano, as in the WG try to put the deed of beatin a yonko on hus effort to take cradit from the strawhats. Cause the WG probably know of sword, with the ciphers and everything they could spin Drake as a new pr hero
helmeppos dream was actually to get his old luxurious life back. thats what he said back then to coby when they talked about their motivation to start training at night.
and he definately could beat arlong from back then. keep in mind that coby and helmeppo learned the techniques like geppo from garp.
id place them right now on cp9 water seven level honestly, coby probably even higher
I think Koby will achieve Admiral by the end of the story. You can say hes too young but, as the story progresses and the power scaling increases i think hell probably end up as an Admiral regardless of his age.
Luffy is a bit young to be pirate king too, hes really only been a pirate for 3-4 years but of course he will become pirate king regardless.
I like the idea of The Marines giving Drake the Allosaurus fruit to make him more appealing to Kaido, and them setting up a scenario for Drake to “steal” the fruit from The Marines and escape to sea as his initial betrayal.
I also just keep imagining hes still laying on the ground of Onigashima waiting for someone to come get him
Vegapunk talks about how you cant get rid of the primal instincts in cloning. Seraphim Boa will fall in love with Luffy. Seraphim Mihawk will have his same sense of pride. By the end of the story all remaining seraphim will join up with their human counterparts and live life as regular people.
Wait so could BB be the next dude the strawhats will fight?
Helmeppo will probably act on his own and go to egghead, he’ll meet luffy and the gang and luffy might just go and save Coby..
We might get the Roger Garp Rocks parallel soon, especially since Im has finally shown what he probably used to get rid of God Valley, and he will probably get rid of Hachinosu if Luffy and BB are there.
I doubt that even though the straw hats are increasing their power, facing BB at Hachinosou might not be a good idea. They’ll most likely get upgrades from Egghead-which’ll be extremely useful-for their final journey to Laugh Tale. Koby will most likely be fine despite his capture.
29:05 All I could think about was Patrick threatening to punch mini Squidward, but this time Luffy is giant and Coby is mini lmao
Koby and Helmeppo are both clearing the East Blue saga enemies
