Forum:I think I know now how Caribou will prove a threat...

I think now that Caribou has those mermaids in his body he'll use them as hostages by the time he ends up fighting Luffy. (Which he undoubtfully will.)

At first Caribou won't deem it necessary, because he thinks as a Logia Luffy can't hurt him. But once he figures out the hard way Luffy kan with haki, he'll raise up the mermaids (and possibly other hostages!) faces up to protect vital points on his body, so that Luffy can't hit him there without hitting a mermaid (or whomever else he has hostage.) (Therefor allowing Caribou to attack Luffy whilst Luffy can't attack him.)

If I am right about this, it's also another cue I've noticed Oda take from Kinnikuman. (Like that scar-free WB back, was an idea that popped up before OP existed in Kinnikuman too. (Two villains made it a point of pride they had no scars on their back. (It made a bit more sense there because they where wrestlers.)

Anyway in Kinnikuman the villain Planetman had a 'face planet' technique where he transported the faces of Kinnikumans friends onto parts of his body so Kin couldn't use his attack against him. And I figured that with Caribou storing people in his body this idea could be used to make Caribou into an actual dangerous threat (As opposed to a haki-punching bag.)

After all if Luffy can't just hit the guy because of hostages in his body, suddenly this apperent joke (albeit a sociopathic one) amongst logia's can become very dangerous.

What if Luffy could just try and grab hold of Caribou not nescessarly attack him with a punch. I don't think Caribou could do much after that.

The scarless back is nothing whatsoever to do with Kinnikuman. It goes back to a far older folk tale in Japanese folklore. I also don't understand why it makes more sense for a wrestler than a pirate ...  You do know Kinnikuman exagerates things right? Real wrestling isn't like that. The shielding technique also isn't exactly original lol
