Future Character's Deaths?

Over the course of One Piece, death has not really been a huge factor. That is until Ace and Whitebeard's death in Marineford. It makes me wonder if there is going to be more deaths in the future. Here's my predictions.

                     "The Red Hair"

Shanks - I think that when Luffy finally manages to find Shanks, the Straw Hats and Red-Haired Pirates are going to fight against each other. It will be an extremely tough battle but the Straw Hats will come out victorious, fulfilling part of Luffy's dream to have a pirate crew that surpasses Shanks. Obviously there is going to be a huge celebration with both pirate crews but then Blackbead is going to show looking for both Shanks and Luffy's head. Shanks and his crew (who is extremely weaken from their fights against the Straw Hats) will sacrifice themselves to allow the Straw Hats escape.

            "Donquixote Doflamingo"

Doflamingo - Because of his connection to Kaido I believe he will die because of 2 reasons. 1) Kaido is known to be an extremely ruthless person who, if he wants to, will kill anyone he wants, like any pirate but he has the power and influence to hunt you down and kill you. 2) Luffy will beat Doflamingo but like we all know he doesn't kill, so Doflamingo will escape but because of his deal with Kaido going sour, Kaido will hunt him down.

                     "BlackBeard"

Marshall D. Teach - Better known as Blackbeard. Obviously his crew and the Straw Hats are going to have a showdown near the ending of One Piece. However, like I said before, Luffy doesn't kill so I believe Blackbeard will just get beaten to a pulp like the other characters Luffy has fought against and Blackbeard will be captured by the Marines. Because Fleet Admiral Sakazuki will not be so merciful as Sengoku, he will immediately want to execute Blackbeard and because he is weakened by his fight from Luffy he will get captured and executed.

Impact of One Piece

I'm making this blog to ask about the impact One Piece will have in the future, regardless of it's current or previous popularity. I want to know if it will be remembered and respected as much as classic anime/manga like Dragonball or Inuyasha which, regardless of how good they were, definitely had huge impacts on the Shonen genre.

                       Dragon Ball

                          Inuyasha

 They both established several features commonly found in Shonen (including One Piece) such as large, epic fights and characters running into stronger enemies and having to get stronger in order to defeat them. Another anime that had a huge impact was Cowboy Bebop, which ended over a decade ago and is still popular and very well known. I'm curious about whether One Piece will be remembered like these classics, or fade into obscurity 10-20 years after it ends. 

                 Straw Hat's Nakama

   

               Straw Hat Pirates Flag

Just to be clear, I am not asking how good One Piece or any of the above series are since I've never seen Dragonball and only seen about 5 episodes of Inuyasha and I've still heard a lot about them, even though they both ended way before I was old enough to watch them.

New Shichibukai

7th shichibukai?


Firstly, he must be a character of known influence and someone we already knew. It must be a big blast not only in the story, but also to the readers.


In the early anime, when crocodile was eliminated, Mihawk tried to suggest Shanks to become one of the shichibukai and so it took a longer time for the negotiation. Being a yonko, though being acknowledge, is not an official position so it would be of great benefits to both parties. 


So, who do you think is the 7th shichibukai?

                    Red Hair Shanks

                            Enel 

For me, it's "Red Hair Shanks" or "Enel" straight from the moon

Bird Cage

I think enough was said about the awesomeness of Sabo in this chapter, but here is my question to you - what is this dreaded 'Bird Cage'?

It's pretty obvious that Doffy is the bird because, you know, he's a flamingo. But what exactly is the cage? And what does he do in the cage? Just he just trap people in there for eternity? I find it hard to believe. So he probably attacks them inside. Now, I'm guessing Pica has something to do with the cage but I'm not sure. It could be that Pica surrounds the enemies with a cage made of stone and then Doflamingo sets up some intricate string device, with him also being inside the cage. Maybe he makes a web of sharp strings OR he could just control everyone with his Parasite and let them all be birds fighting with each other and the last one will be finished up by him. BUT, the cage could be something else. It could be the room, the castle, or some space that Doflamingo creates using his abilities (possibly a string dome of sorts?). It could also be similar to Law's Room, some space that Doflamingo creates and within it he controls everything - let me know what you think.

Choose Your haki

Haki. By realizing your full potential and touching the spiritual world around you, you can gain awesome powers that include sensing things before they happen, super-armor, and the ability to knock out every weak-minded person in sight with pure awesomeness.


If you're on this wiki, you probably don't do too much with your life so awakening Haki would be hard, but say you were granted one of the three Haki abilities. Which one would it be? Yes, in One Piece you can have all three, but for the sake of discussion choose one ability that you would like to have the most.
