WHAT IF: Luffy, Law & Kid Switched Islands?

[@marccrookedarm5020]

I think they all needed to switch- if Luffy had gone to elbaf he would have a friendly reunion with shanks (although shanks may have still challenged him for his Road Poneglyphs), Law’s abilities are way more suited to teleporting outta Punk Records so he could’ve extracted Vegapunk more easily and learned about the Void Century, And Kid would’ve opened with a huge attack on Blackbeard which none of them could’ve stopped since they seem to lack Observation Haki. They pretty much all picked the worse paths possible.

I think law has a couple more options on Elbaf. He could leverage the fact that he took down Big Mom to get the favour of the giants, which could give him a level of protection against/respect from shanks while he’s on the island. He’s also a negotiator, he formed the alliance with Luffy after all. He might straight up try to trade poneglyph etchings with Shanks (if shanks has the last poneglyph). He probably made copies just in case they get taken from him. Shanks also knows Law saved Luffy at marineford, and that he had a formal alliance with Luffy, so he might be more favourable to him than he was to Kid.

[@MrMegaSuperDuperMe]

Between Kid and Law, Kid seems to be more suited for sea battles. And Blackbeard would likely attack Kid by ship like he did against Law. We've seen on 2 occasions that Kid's magnetic power can affect other ships: The 1st was right before the Onigashima Raid when the Captain Trio attacked a ship together. Kid used his magnetic power to pull himself to the ship. The second time was, of course, against Shanks's fleet.

[@tarfalgarlaw8412]

No blackbeard will 109% kill his crew

[@dexter111344]

Yeah, Kidd would probably try to sink all of Blackbeard's ships, and if Blackbeard was on one of those ships like he was at the start of the fight with Law, we would see a situation of Blackbeard's crew having to be saved from drowning and possibly retreating. But if the fight happens on the island, I don't see Kidd winning, and unlike with Law, Blackbeard probably wouldn't want Kidd's Devil Fruit (all of the Titanic Captains already have fruits themselves), so it is possible he would kill the Kidd Pirates if he doesn't just capture him. That reminds me, we still don't know what happened to Moriah after he confronted Blackbeard. Was he captured? Did Blackbeard kill him? He confronted Blackbeard before all of Blackbeard's crew were shown to possess Devil Fruits, so I thought maybe he would die and his fruit would be given to one of them, but that didn't happen. If Moria escaped, I would imagine the Kidd Pirates could, too.

To be fair to Law, he's _also_ someone who defeated Big Mom, so he'd be popular at Elbaf. Even more so because he's not...attacking it. Even if Shanks and him clash, I doubt it would be a fatal thing. In the best case scenario, they meet, trade information, and part amicably. In the worst case, Shanks kicks his ass and takes his stuff without killing him. Regarding Pudding, I want to point out that she was able to shoot a gun with a strong enough caliber to penetrate Germa armor with one hand and no visible problem with recoil. Not to mention she could see Sanji saving Chiffon from Oven when nobody else did. Don't let her pretty face fool you. That girl is her mother's daughter.

Law starts sweat more now, he tries to look calm and collected but panics internally. And then Rockstar just says… *”Let’s Party!!!”* Then they just Party for 3 days and part ways.

[@TheEmperorGulcasa]

An interesting thought about if Kid went to Egghead. If it breaks out into an all out fight, which I would usually foresee, if Lilith chooses to activate the seraphim to fight them, they are under her direct command. So they then can't be taken over by CP0 or used by York, meaning that Lilith and all the seraphim probably easily roll CP0 and collect Stussy, then either there is downtime and York can traitor unabated or the marine armada arrives and it's the full seraphim, pacifista and other weapon suite vs just Kizaru and whatever else the fleet had. Also Kid's magnetism could affect most of Egghead's defenses pretty badly. It's almost all metal and nothing has haki to resist his magnetism. I could see him rolling most everything except the seraphim and maybe the pacifista if their bubble shield does have sea properties.

Couple of scenarios and questions for the Straw Hats vs Blackbeard: What is/could the awakened form of the invisibility fruit be and how would it change how Shiryu fights? I think it would be insane if this is how Zoro gets his first ever wound on his back. (and maybe only - for a bigger impact/deeper meaning) Every other swordsman fight with honor to some degree but here comes Shiryu who doesnt care at all and actually prefers underhanded tactics. The opening scene for their fight could be a deep wound in Zoros back and how he has to accept the fact that he has been shamed as a swordsman while fighting him. This forces Zoro to fight in constant oni mode to guard his back and be ready for attacks from all directions until he figures out a way to deal with him etc. Nami could envelop the Sunny and area close to it in a heavy fog or redirect the light in hazy air to make it appear in another place or be "invisible". Would be really fun to see them use their abilities in strategic ways too. Robin could reach the next level in battle surveilence by drawing live maps with her ability for each Straw Hat or make her bodyparts appear as a map or an arrow or something to show where the enemies are or whats going on. Make a much more detailed map for a sniping spot that Usopp is in and give him enough information to know where to aim and have him deliver setups or much needed help in all the other fights at key moments. Like he could be the one to bomb Zoro and Shiryus fight with a powder or something that sticks to Shiryu and makes him visible after Zoro has been fighting for a while and cant figure it out. Robin whispers to Zoro to close his eyes and he makes this epic dramatic pose so that the reader/viewer and Shiryu thinks he is going to do some massive move but then Usopps bomb drops in and it was all just so Zoro wouldnt get the powder in his eyes.

[@carlosnunes929]

Very good point. Maybe the awakened part of the invisibility fruit is that it completely removes any trace of the user meaning not even basic/mid level observation haki will help you identify the user.

the only other outcome I could possibly see with law and elbaf would be law having a sit down talk with shanks and telling him he realistically doesn't want to be the pirate king. but that he knows there's knowledge based on the void century that he could learn there. I could see that talk sparking shanks attention enough to almost not want fight him but to view him more as an informant of some kind.

[@platypuspracticus2]

10:44 sanji getting sex flipped would knock him out permanent. may actually die from nosebleed at that point.

[@rixuko2218]

Ive been discussing this with friends all arc long. But the fact that the one who wanted to "shortcut" his progress meets with Blackbeard is lovely.

[@Roojercurryninja]

there's a bitter sweet irony of the one using a shortcut having to face the one who lived his entire life for the sole purpose of finding the ultimate shortcuts

[@regiman222]

18:04 If they bloom from his body then they should remain, if she blooms them from other places to try pin him, he might be able to slip away with his DF power

[@commonviewer2488]

It would be fun to come back to this in five years with a follow-up with how the rest of the final saga would play out

[@DragonSkyNija]

The intro is from The Pirates of Dark Water the game from the Super Nintendo. I remember to watching that show when I was a small kid, my family also had almost all released episodes recorded on vhs tapes.

[@DragonSkyNija]

To honest I didn't remember first, but at the end of this Video when Tekking said it was from a show in early 90s, that got my guessing directly on The Pirates of Dark Water and it's game, but I needed to look up clip from the game from beginning to be sure.

[@williamgreci8219]

Thoughts. 1. I'm surprised Tekking didn't mention Robin reuniting with Saul when talking about what if the Straw Hats ended up at Elbaf. 2. Honestly, the only interest I could see Kid taking in Pudding would be if he learned of her potential for deciphering Poneglyphs. 3. Another possibility that came to mind regarding Law's arrival at Elbaf would be offering his knowledge and services as a doctor with the Op Op Fruit in return for a brief visit to Elbaf.

[@jktheman1266]

This was a really good video I usually never like what if videos but this was tha best Love you Tekking ❤

[@BrandedWing]

I think another thing to remember for Law, had he gone to Egghead, is that it was known that he and Luffy were allied so he could essentially name drop for some trust/info should Vegapunk mention that. Bringing up Luffy or Robin could prompt some serious conversation and in reverse Vegapunk has info that Law would really want so there could be some mutual agreement coming from that. Plus, perhaps Law could just teleport them out of the dome even while it's up which could get them off the island way faster.

[@MarsKMP]

55:40 Killer doesn’t have a Devil Fruit, but he ate a failed smile fruit… does sea stone do something to him?

[@henryokoro3140]

If Killer can be drowned by Queen in Udon along side Kidd then he should also be weakened by Sea Prism

[@zacharyfishman7617]

Isn't it weird to think about how Shanks and Kaido were based essentially right next to eachother

[@vongolashodaime1975]

Potentially Teach too

[@jaykally5616]

I saw the title and all I could think is tekking with that heat

[@yakirchernin6015]

About Law et Elbaf- I think he would do a heist thing- he doesnt has to defeat Shanks- just to steal his poneglyph. I imagine he would ask to join the party, and during the party would steal Shanks's poneglyphs.

[@TheWish80]

Thank you for the video! I always enjoy watching your videos!

[@muhammadfaisal5Y5]

If luffy landed on Elbaph, Shanks would try to run away from him to the point he can't. Blackbeard vs Kidd is an interesting match up. Law would have struggled a lot on Egghead but I think he would agree to take Vegapunk on board with him.

[@38achref26]

nope not really law solos everyone in egghead easily

[@DreamStepper]

There is no scenario where Kid doesn't take an L in this lol.

[@JangoFox]

I think it'd be funny if Stronger tried to beg Chopper for help, but then when Chopper lets his guard down, Stronger lashes out and attacks him and Stronger reveals that he's actually a super evil horse and is more sadistic than Blackbeard and he and Doc Q are in perfect sync and understand each other even if they can't verbally communicate. XD

[@neil5694]

That'd be funny asf 😭😭

[@YoutubrYoutubr-ip1md]

Brooke: “yohohoho I’m a skeleton your powers won’t work!” Doc Q: “ Quite the contrary! I give you the disease of male pattern balding!!!!!” Brooke: “yohohonoooooo”

[@spacedbadger2045]

I think the only other outcome with Law and Shanks, is a Ace meets Shanks repeat. Where in a direct parlay with Shanks, Law explains all he's done for Luffy - and in fact....Shanks KNOWS Law is the one who saved Luffy at Marineford. And from there he gives the Red hair crew the full context on everything that has happened throughout their alliance from Punk Hazard onwards... I think there is a lot of potential that as long as Law doesn't show any hostility towards Shanks... Law is partying with Shanks' crew and then Law books it! Because he knows Shanks beats him no contest, after spending a night partying with him and his crew.

[@HeatWave0549]

This is the perfect vid at the perfect time.

[@williamfeick6741]

I think the fact that smiles are based off of bega Punk's original devil fruit in the first place would definitely make kid want to meet vegapunk to see if he could reverse the effects of the smile on killer

[@drechill7]

What if’s are fun to talk about! Love the video.

[@Cat_Sidhe]

I mentioned this in another video but I'm pretty sure that Shanks and Law would have some kind of conversation. We saw that Shanks is given a dossier on Kid so the same thing would probably happen with Law. It could potentially lead to new information about the D clan.

[@carlosnunes929]

Yeah given everything we know about Law, he’s not the type to go all out and fight for no reason. He’s a very chilled and layed back guy but also very smart so definitely would know he can’t beat shanks. Definitely try come to some agreement and share some important info with each other.

[@aaronneal3885]

Brook is just like "did my pelvis just grow?"

[@AlexSeraphim]

I think it would be possible for shanks to actually know that Law saved Luffy from marineford and stuff and actually invite Law inside the island in a less friendly way than if it was Luffy but still in a friendly manner

[@kylen7351]

Remember everyone. Teach can't phase through attacks like normal logias, and physical attacks are tripled against him.

[@elemomnialpha]

Question: did the newspaper ever actually report about Luffy and Law's alliance? Because if it did I could see Shanks not aggroing Law and treating him more like Mihawk with offering a friendly duel or giving him the option to leave with his Poneglyphs

[@clashingwizard1275]

Yes it was reported before dressrossa

[@afeathereddinosaur]

You should do a "what if" on various pirate crews entering Long Ring Long Land and confronting Foxy. How many would do the Davy Back Fight? How many would just kill Foxy? How many would take Foxy under their wing? And other permutations.

[@darthzayexeet3653]

It would be really cool to see like Luffy, Zoro and Sanji fight Blackbeard together like they fought the Pacifista on Sabaody. I think it would really highlight their team dynamic and allow them to do some crazy combo attacks we’ve never seen before. Maybe after Sanji rescues Pudding and delivers her to the Sunny, he might join the fight against BB

[@neil5694]

I could see that happening. Maybe BB catches Luffy and negates his DF and Zoro + Sanji gotta save him or something.

[@kiim_caam]

Thank you Tekking from saving me from depression.

[@evetrix1362]

When the story ends you should totally do a "the entire story of..." For interesting characters, telling their entire story from pre and during the entire show from their perspectives. For example the entire story of zoro would be his childhood, and then going briefly on every single arc mentioning the stuff that zoro did during each arc. Or for side characters like bonney maybe shorter videos telling all of the stuff we know were going on with her. Could be interesting and build up the legend of some characters after the story ends

[@travisstapleton4140]

Underestimating how strong kid again comes into play tekking disrespectful

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

I love that no mater where they went it would have been a crazy arc for the strawhats Elbaf and shanks have been talked about for so long The fight with Blackbeard has also been built up for so long too but even the Egghead rpg choice was way crazier than I though the game would get

[@3dsmaster537]

This idea has been living in my head for ages. The havoc Kid could bring on Egghead, Law meeting Shanks, or Luffy meeting blackbeard. It's so cool to think about!

[@Tia.Robison]

Kid sees a drowning child: "sucks to suck! 🖕🏻"

[@kura4674]

I feel like Egghead island would have been the perfect place for Kidd to power himself up, would have probably met insane potential with his ability on the island.

[@henryokoro3140]

Exactly!!!! Egghead would have been Kidd’s Arc. He could control the whole of Egghead with his Magnetism and learn directly from Punk Records database. Then get the Giant Armour working as his ultimate weapon, a Mark III Pacifista Army at his control, control over the Sea Beast Robots and even take control of the Seraphim by coercing VegaPunk. Then also having Killer cured of the Smile Fruit and even leveraging Green Blood 🤮 and Lunarian DNA 🧬 to enhance his 20 Crewmates (Heat and Wire). Shit Kidd would make Egghead an Impenetrable Fortress!

[@KingKuma909]

Thats the thing about the Straw Hats now, they arent just run of the mill pirates anymore. They are almost comparable to the Blackbeard crew, that battle at Onigashima did numbers for them.

[@loganlogon3720]

10:06 Not satisfied until we get Rule 63 Jinbe.😏 Also that would seriously mess up Sanji, Luffy as we know makes a pretty cute girl and since he never keeps his shirt closed that would immediately catch Sanji's attention and leave him debilitatingly distracted. 20:26 Is baldness considered a disease?😆

[@evening_star136]

I'm obsessed with this!!! you always come up with creative and fun ideas for your videos and the bells and whistles to match

[@Doommaster677]

I feel like if Luffy got to Elbaf and saw Shanks he probably wouldn't do anything and just say we're leaving... because that's exactly what I'd expect Oda to do and tease us just a little more

[@MagicCardboardBox]

Y'know also gotta think, that was strike two for kidd, they already fought before and shanks only took an arm, that was his only chance, and he did not take it.

[@beegyoshi800]

I think the Blackbeard pirates would get DESTROYED by the Strawhats. Law was holding his own against in a 1 vs 4 (I know Law's crew was there but come on it was pretty much a 1 vs 4) and Luffy is levels above Law. Law barely won a 2 vs 1 against Big Mom (who wasn't even using ACoC) and only managed to win because there happened to be a bunch of bombs and lava. Luffy was, by the end of their fight, at least equal to Kaido. Luffy also has much stronger haki (with ACoC being especially important) and is less reliant on his devil fruit than Law. Also, Advanced Armament and Conqueror's would make it so he doesn't need to worry about Blackbeard blocking his devil fruit since he wouldn't touch Blackbeard and Luffy might be able to grab the Gura-Gura bubbles like he did with the lightning against Kaido by using Gear 5. So if Luffy was to 1 vs 1 against Blackbeard, he'd probably win. So that leaves the rest of the Strawhats vs the rest of the Blackbeard pirates, but the Strawhats outnumber them 9:3. You could have the Brook, Nami, and Chopper (Brook is fast enough to cut Doc Q down and as you said he'd basically be immune to his devil fruit, Nami could hit him with lightning, and Chopper is Doc Q's parallel since they're both doctors). Sanji, Robin, and Usopp could fight Van Augur (Sanji is one of the fastest characters in the series at this point, so he could definitely catch up to Van Augur despite his teleportation, Robin could keep track of Van Augur to tell the other 2 where he is, and Usopp is the other sniper and could deflect Van Augur's shots). Zoro, Jinbe, and Franky could fight Burgess (They are the physically strongest Strawhats and they just make the most sense to be against Burgess. Also, Jinbe and Burgess are both the helmsmen.) Imo, Zoro and Sanji are probably enough to deal with all 3 Blackbeard pirates by themselves (minus Blackbeard), so this would be overkill. Once they make quick work of the Blackbeard pirates, they could just gang up on Blackbeard if Luffy hasn't already won. Because there's such a big surplus of Strawhats, you could have a big number of them to do whatever they want, like save Pudding or protect the Sunny. TL;DR: Blackbeard is LUCKY that the Strawhats didn't go to Winter Island

[@latima123ify]

Right lol. The straw hats are the only ones who would have been fine going any way. If Blackbeard has his whole crew it would be different but he didn’t so that’s an L against the strawhats there

[@38achref26]

luffy is not lvl above law luffy only abit stronger than law

[@beegyoshi800]

@@38achref26 law barely beat Big Mom in a 2 vs 1 and even then he only won because of a bunch of lucky coincidences. He's Admiral level at best. Luffy is literally Kaido's equal at worst.
