User blog comment:Imhungry4444/Shanks vs. Blackbeard Fight Prediction Part 2/@comment-3425840-20110501221301

Well it was good, however if you showed BB getting a bit more help it would have been better, I mean he won almost fare and square, it should not have been like that.

Aside from that I have somethings to disagree with you.

1st: BB needs a person to be dead to absorb a devil fruit or else he could have taken Ace's Mera Mera no mi (it's pretty handy power), but, Magellan did not die in the battle of Impeldown, he was just wounded badly, therefore BB can not have the Doku Doku no mi.

2nd: When BB took Whitebeard's power, he himself and many of his crew including Shiliew said that there is much risk in the process, therefore it is unlikely that he would try to take in random powers even if he can, I doubt is ability is infinite when comes to absorbing devil fruit powers.

3rd: Considering Black Beard he would have at least killed an unconscious Shanks if he did not have the chance of taking the devil fruit power, before escaping.

4th: Shanks is very proficient with busoshoku haki, he would have definitely used it in the battle and as you may know, even in Phoenix form haki attacks still hurts you, remember the bruise Marco had from a punch from Garp?

Anyways, let aside the conceptual deficits, the fight scenes you described were pretty cool specially the part of airborne duel, even though I don't think Shanks suits as a fruit user, I like the fruit you made, by the way what does Tokage mean? In the fight description, I give you 9/10. Would have given 10/10 but just can't digest Shanks been defeated by BB in a fair (almost) fight. About the over all prediction I would say 7/10, I explained why. Keep it up man. Oh your style is awesome 10/10 for that. Make sure to make new preditions.
