You actually think that everyone else sat on there ass and get fat waiting for Luffy? I for one think that Shank and the other Yonku can ROFLSTOMP the Strawhats without breaking a sweat.
You also think that the Princess/Posiedon would openly fight and be able to use her powers to defend the Fishman?
Think about it. WG comes and "visits" Fishman Island, Royal family welcomes them and guess what happens next?puts te whole Island hostage and tells the Princess to not to use her her powers or they'll going to kill everyone and tell er to come with them if she wants the Island free. Guess what the Princess will do? And all this can be done without their protectors knowing about it.
Also for all we know, the WG in the New World is on a different level than the ones on the other side of the Grandline. Knowing Akainu, he would only have the most ruthless of all the Navy to go on the New World.
i don't think the Royal Family will target an island that belongs to a man who doesn't give a fuck if they're royal or not.
or maybe you could be right, the Royal Family could also just be chasing the Strawhat crew just because of that one punch.
but this is 2 years later.
i agree with you that the most ruthless of all the Navy will go to the new world, but thats what the crew trained for.
you see the results when the crew fights the PX robots.
PX robots > most of New World Pirates as shown in the War of the Best
Luffy's second gear (without haki) one punch > PX robot
Luffy can tame beasts.
Sanji can kick mountains
Zoro can cleanly cut ships and Pacifista material
from what i've seen from the War of the best on the WG side, Luffy was on par with the
some of the vice admirals. and this was when he's already fatigued and it's 1vs.Multiple enemies
also, ever since Whitebeard died and stated the One Piece does exist, pirates all over the world have been going crazy which you can then assume that the WG themselves are very occupied and have no time to train like Luffy's crew does
knowing that this is a
good manga, the main character and his allies always seem to exponentially increase in power.
in other words, Strawhat crew + 2 years of specialized individual training >>>>> WG that's been occupied with the pirate rush (Grand line and New World)
and even if they WG does attack Fishman island. it's gonna start another Fishman arc again which would ruin the one piece's flow
which i'm pretty sure Oda wouldn't do to his fans or to himself. most of the arcs are completed (usually obtaining a piece of information) and the crew moves on, never a back track
take Sky Island for example. the SH crew goes there, receives information, beats Enel, moves on.
If tl;dr ----> WG won't attack Fishmen Island. If they do, it will be defended somehow
i also do not think that the WG has anything to do with the destruction of Fishman Island.
and if Fishman Island really does get destroyed (which could happen since the Oda made his fans thinking that Jimbei was going to join the SH crew but didn't. he might pull the same stunt with the island with Luffy claiming it then losing it),
all of this talk should be considered invalid. but hey this is Monkey D. Luffy, shit happens around him
also correct me if i'm wrong but, isn't the WG suppose to enforce peace? why would they attack a perfectly civilized environment (not to mention that it's underwater which would be hard to attack and defend once taken over)?
that would be defeating the purpose of being a Government (unless if you're gonna argue that the WG is just like a pirate crew but it's just so big that every civilian accepts it as "justice" and the "law",then i totally understand)
i thought pirates only claimed territories to scare hostile pirates away from the island from doing harm
like when Whitebeard died, all the other pirates started jumping on his previously owned turf.
why didn't the world government make a move on those territories?
