Forum:The 3 "new" shichibukai?

Who do you think would be the 3 new shichibukai replacements of Jinbei, Blackbeard and Moria? new characters or somebody we already knew who significantly powered up the past 2 years...like Rob Lucci?

Maybe one of the supernovas? Eustass Kid maybe? But probably not Law (because he helped luffy escape the whitbeard war). And also not Drake because for obvious reasons..he left the Marines to become a pirate.

Eustass Kidd doesn't have the personality for a supernova I think. (He's more similar to Caribou if you ask me (slightly less crazy, but just as bloodthirsty) And I think that with Hancock on the team (I'm surprised they haven't booted her out of the Shichi's by this point, considering what they did to Moria. I mean she's consistently obstructed the WG at this point for Luffy's sake.) And they don't need another person rampaging around on their whims, which Kidd would do. (but Kidd probably wouldn't want to join them anyway.)

They may have invited Buggy on though. (Not that that's a good idea for them, but they don't know Buggy isn't that powerful. And Buggy seems to have a ridiculous amount of luck at keeping up the illusion, so...)

Otherwise, who knows... maybe the slots are still unfilled.

 * i think there will be a shift in the world power, there might not be a need for shichibukai (or there might just be fewer ppl). The marines have the pacifistas now and the balance of power between is yonkou is likely to be disrupted with whitebeards weakened & blackbeards appearing.

The Pacifista's aren't really a replacement for Shichi's, Hancock destroyed several by herself (granted they weren't attacking her, but she probably could if they had been too, as could Mihawk and DoFlamingo (Either of those two guys would lead to alot of Pacifista's cut in half), and Kuma is definitly superior to a regular pacifista with his extremely powerful DF.)

What surprises me though, is that the Marines, now that they know how to destroy a mind and completely automate someone (like they did with Kuma), don't simply use that method on unruly Shichi's. Instead of destroying Moria, turning him into the latest model of Pacifista seems handier, given the potential of Moria's DF. For that matter if I was in charge of the marines, I'd intend to do this to Hancock as well, due to her insistence on attacking Marines just the same as pirates. (And although DoFlamingo wouldn't be a target (given that he seems to behave so far.) I'd still keep my eye on him too.)

The matter is of course how do you get these powerful people to be helpless for the process. But I have the solution to that. Upgraded Moria Pacifista. Using Doppelman and Shadow teleportation and Pacifista upgrades and Shadow attacks to distract them, a properly backed up Moria Pacifista ought to be able to get behind someone and cut their shadow. Combine that with a sneak attack and some treachery and deceit and once the shadow is cut, even a logia would collapse helplessly and be ready for Pacifista modifications. After that you can simply reattach the shadow again. (Since Moria Pacifista is perfectly controlled.)

Anyhoo though all that said, I am thinking there WILL be new Shichi's. I'm thinking Buggy will be there (or will have been there, got exposed as the weakling he is and got in trouble again.) POSSIBLY a supernova (but not Kidd, in fact I'd have to see it first, I'm just not ruling it out entirely.) and likely at least one new person (who will be a badass and a dangerous challenge even to the new and improved SH, just my guess.)
