User blog comment:AYET/Impel Down - Luffy and nakama vs Blackbeard Pirates/@comment-4374114-20130807133149

I think for everyone outside of BB, based on what we saw of them so far, the BB crew would be destroyed by the Impel Down escapees. I am guessing there is a lot about the crew that we don't know that would give them advantages in some of the fight combinations but so far they seem pretty stale. With the escapees at his disposal I think Luffy could have finished off BB as well. One thing that could have happened is the same as for Magellan, put Luffy in a Wax bot so the negate DF wouldn't work. This would allow for Luffy to use his gears as well as enhance his power without needing haki. The other advantage is with Jinbie not being a DF user and being able to do his Fishman Karate. The others in the escapees who we know could be powerful may fall easily to BB witout their DF, I would hope Ivankov knows better than to just trust his DF but Crocodile seems to rely on his far too much.
