User blog comment:Neowitch/709 - Defensive Attitude/@comment-4754162-20130517050550

I somehow thought about Greed from FMA when the truth about the Bari Bari ability came to light.

Both are sort-of defensive (like Zori said), but are pretty strong against most head-on attacks, and the strength from the defensive can be used offensively (like how Barto used his barrier on the king and Greed used his carbon-imbued fists and legs in his brawls.

Them both kinda projected the idea of "the best offense is a good defense", unlike Luffy's "the best offense is an offense, screw defense"
