I think Rocks is Blackbeard's father, and Blackbeard may want to sit in the empty throne
Would you call the scars on Zoro's ankles important? He got those when he almost cut off his own feet while fighting Mr. 3.
More than anything, I think scars tell a story. They say the character has a past we don't necessarily know about. He didn't need to get the scar from Whitebeard. I'd honestly think less of the story if every plot point ties up so neatly, since it would make the world feel smaller.
Everything fits except for Coby himself. Interestingly enough, Sabo would fit that description quite well. He has an orange fruit (Flame), was probably attacked by Akainu at the Levely, and uses his hands to attack like "claws".
I think Blackbeard is Rocks son. That's how he knew Whitebeard well enough to join his crew. This also fits better with the themes in One Piece.
I'm not a fan of the fruit change, since it changes Luffy from being an average person who is really strong, to the person who just happened to eat the most powerful df. I think that takes away from Luffy's achievements, since so much of his strength comes from pure luck.
I do think almost everything was foreshadowed though.
Now that you've made it that far...
"hope Ace will make it"
Oh, you poor naive soul....

I think Dragon has the Uranus weapon, not a devil fruit. That would explain him having the highest bounty in the world. Keep in mind, Uranus is the "god of the sky". Then again, maybe Uranus is a devil fruit, similar to Luffy's fruit.
As for Rocks, I think he had the same fruit as Blackbeard, and is Blackbeard's true father.
He doesn't have to be a part of SWORD, but he definitely has his own version of "justce" he follows, which is incompatible with Akainu.
I think a big rift is about to form in the marines, with people like Coby, Smoker, Aokiji, and Garp choosing to side with Luffy against the World Government.
In addition, I think they'll be fighting to save Vivi from execution at the new Marineford, and all the strawhats will show up with an "X" on their left arm, signalling she's still their friend.
Bounty hunters aren't strong enough to beat a Yonko, so they're irrelevant to the Strawhats now. They're still a viable enemy for weaker crews, but we don't see much of that.
Bounty hunters are also probably more common in the first half of the grand line, since they'd have to be absurdly strong to survive off beating pirates in the new world. Keep in mind, almost everyone in the new world is associated with a Yonko, who probably won't take kindly to you capturing members of their crew.
It might not be a devil fruit at all, but the last of the 3 great weapons, Uranus. This would also explain why Dragon has the largest bounty in the world.
Technically, Hody is weaker than Arlong. He only gained temporary strength from drugs, and I'm not sure that deserves to be counted.
Satori..?

Actually, Doffy just stitched his organs back together. He didn't make new ones.
WB's devil fruit was only able to create an earthquake in direct contact with his body/weapon (ie when he punched the air). This earthquake was able to resonate out and do massive damage, however the earthquake was still strongest at the point of impact.
If the Gura Gura no Mi were to awaken, I think the user would be able to create earthquakes in places they wouldn't have to directly touch, which would allow them to reduce collateral damage by placing the earthquake directly on their target for maximum effect.
The One Piece is real, but it's not treasure... It's friendship!
We know the world isn't flat. We know it's round.
We know the world is round. Also, if you look at where the red and grand line cross on a map, with each of the other four seas in their respective cardinal directions, then the red and grand line form an X. From the whole classic "X marks the spot" pirate quote, I used to have a theory that the one piece (and Raftel) is actually inside the red line, likely at reverse mountain.
This would explain why no one has been able to find it, and it would also follow a little theme I've noticed about "impossible" islands in the grand line (ie Sky Island = island in the sky; Fishman Island = island under the sea). The next "impossible" island I saw in this trend would be an island within land itself (Islandception).
Due to recent events in the manga/anime however, this theory is probably busted.
This being said, in the interest of speculation, if I were to try and find a place to enter Raftel if it were truly inside the red line, I would first look at how the grand line was first entered. When the Straw hats entered the grand line, there was a current which would pull them up a mountain, but if they weren't exactly in the center of the current, it would pull them under water. There could be a special spot where they would need to get their ship pulled under the water, where the current would take them through an underwater cave or something, and spit them back out inside the red line.This explanation would also give a good explanation for the all blue, being that it sucks immense amounts of water in from each of the four seas and ejects them out into a single body of water.
