There’s a well circulated post that vetex answered some time ago about what happened to a bunch of characters from AA, but there were a few that were missing (or I missed or just don’t know about) that I wanted to find out
Arsen
Valencia
Averill
Trigno
Angel Creed
Asking about Valencia more just for confirmation than anything, we know the 5th through 7th seas including AG headquarters were devastated by Durza/Acheron/whatever, but was that enough to kill Valencia with how old and strong she assumedly was? I get that it’s Durza but assuming she was at the headquarters she was 2 seas away from the center of the blast
If I remember correctly Averill canonically makes it to the War Seas and goes in a full circle around the world and ends up in what’s left of the Seven Seas, therefore finding out the earth is round.
As for Valencia I very much doubt strength alone would save her from a massive earth-shattering attack. Maybe dead if she was in 5th sea, maybe trying to maintain control over tiny pockets of AG forces if she survived.
I dunno about the others, but iirc Averill is trying to circumnavigate the Earth. He does succeed canonically at least according to the lore doc, but currently at this point in time on the timeline he hasn’t yet finished it. Maybe we’ll see him in the war seas.
"Let me tell you a story of a goat and a bum. The bum use all he got into his shoot and comically miss the shot, causing the whole world to be what it is today. Moral of the story is to build size "
Averill, Trigno, and Arsen are all still most likely alive. Averill’s currently circumnavigating the Earth as others have said, Trigno left the Seven Seas and is probably sailing around the world too, and Arsen we don’t 100% know what he’s doing. WoM lore, while retconned, does give some insight into what could happen - Trigno returns to the Seven Seas like 50 years after AA once all of his crew dies and Arsen is the new leader of the Alaleans after Arthur and the others died.
Valencia is almost certainly dead, even though she is in the same tier of strength as Acheron and Theos, she was most likely completely unprepared for an attack that vaporized the entire sea she was in. Also the seas in the Seven Seas aren’t as linear in nature as the War Seas, therefore the Fifth Sea isn’t actually 2 seas removed from the Seventh Sea. Here’s a rough map of the Seven Seas Vetex made in like 2018 that shows the Fifth Sea directly bordering the Seventh with only a great rift separating them:
And as much as it pains me to say as a big webcomic fan, Angel’s not really canon beyond a boss concept iirc, so she doesn’t really have a solid fate or even story in AA
probably died because after the word of cursebeard‘s death other pirates wanted to take the riches which arsen probably died due to being over ran by pirates.
most likely dead due to her being so close to the explosion caused by archeron / durza’s death (the arcane government HQ was also mentioned to be caught in the explosion.
alive just travelling the world we might meet him later on.
I dont actually know he is kinda tricky but he might be alive and inherited cursebeard’s treasure or stole it.
Vetex actually answered a good handful of ppl a long time ago:
Do note that it’s been 5 years since this was stated so things can shift around. Especially considering Freedrock’s fate, and that this was in reference to WoM which was around 1,500-2000 years after the events of AA and want not. But its still an okayish means to get a general gist of how everyone’s going to fare during the time of AO and after it.
Its safe to assume that anything that existed in those seas, most certainly don’t exist anymore. Especially if DurzAcheron’s last ditch at taking down PK if they were going down caused a chunk of the earth to get launched into space.
But we’ll have to see since AA lore is in an ambiguous state. Don’t even know if Chaos ravaging the 7 seas, more specifically the 4th, 5th, and 7th seas, is cannon still or not.
Edit:
Here’s the full AU lore doc btw:
Its also in-game as the Arcane Chronicles, but its better to have the google doc itself since you don’t have to be in-game to look at it.
wasn’t Angel a bossfight in AA? im well aware the webcomics are far from canon i just could’ve sworn she was in the game despite not being around for long
