User blog:Woohoot/Things that totally could happen, but won't cause... Manga...

So latest chapter, we have everyone being forced into the middle, with Doffy pissed as fuck, birdcage with only 3 mins to crushing everyone and Luffy requiring 4 mins to recover.

Right now, the entire town is tiny as fuck. EVERYONE is basically clustering together. We have a princess who can heal on our side, plenty of tough fighters. Now what does everyone do?

People are randomly running around, our healing princess healed the colosseum fighters, our 2 strongest fighters, Sabo: currently curbstomping Burgess, Zoro, trying to push the cage. Other colosseum fighters, doing random shit to fodder that should be one shotted. Law, unseen, probably unhealed and just lying there.

Doffy is still raging and NONE of the stronger fighters look like they're even attempting to kill Doffy. Everyone is just gonna wait till Luffy heals. Now if this weren't a Shonen manga, this scenario would be absolute bullshit. Doffy is greatly weakened now, logically, all the colosseum fighters who were previously supposed to be fighting to kill Doffy should all start doing that now. They aren't even that far away now considering that everyone is converging thanks to bird cage.

Of course, this won't happen, because we all know Luffy HAS to be the one to finish Doffy off, even though they have a 3 min time limit and Luffy can't even recover in that time.

Here's something else that could have happened, but didn't and probably won't either. Why the hell isn't Law healed instead? Why the hell is he just lying there? Law's powers are the only thing that can escape the birdcage. Even if you really wanna let Luffy do the fighting, Law could AT LEAST teleport the children, elderly and random weak people out of the bird cage. I'd really like a scene where someone gathers all the townsfolks, and law just lauches a massive room and brings everyone to safety.

Another thing that could happen and might would be Mansherry healing Luffy, so that the 4 mins don't matter and Luffy can proceed to kicking Doffy's ass like he promised. The plot currently seems to be going for the idea that Zoro, Franky and everyone else will suceed at holding off the birdcage long enough for Luffy to recover and fight. Still, the idea of waiting another 4 mins doesn't sit too well with me. I guess considering how 6 min passed quite quickly, perhaps this 4 min wouldn't be too hard anyway.

But yeah, the current situation has plenty of better solutions to get out off. But because this is a Shonen manga, and the main protagonist has to save the day while everyone desperately tried their best to hold out, these are things the probably won't happen.
