Who do you think the closest person to Pirate King is?

[docdan63]

I've been reading up and I think with all the new rookies, the Yonkou, Kings, world government, and how close the story is too the New World. It's a perfect time to ask this. Who do you think is the closest to becoming the Pirate King?

These are my choices

Shanks
Kaidou
Blackbeard


Out of those though I'd have to go with Shanks. WB lost Ace, he's fucked without him. Even though we don't know who he is yet, Kaidou is coming off a fresh ass woppin from Gecko Moria that he himself said watch out for Kaidou in the New World. Blackbeard just got one of the best logia fruits in the series and proved it with Aces defeat. And was just made a Shichibukai. Although because of the he might be taken out of the running. I don't know how that works yet.

Shanks on the other hand has some of the most powerful people in his crew, and he himself is no slouch in terms of power. He just got Rockstar who is worth over 94 million belli and is still a rookie. He knows how to spirit snipe. And of all of the people in the world the government is worried about him the most. Plus, he learned from the best, Roger.

I think you've been here long enough to know that not everyone in this One Piece section reads the manga. Next time mark spoilers.
