four. The only thing Daz bones had to activate was his sharpening. His body was always steal, when not exposed to seastone. For the record, Luffy isn't rubber when he's touching seastone either, despite working underwater. My observation is that seastone has a stronger effect than the sea itself: The former nulls powers, the latter merely makes them uncotntrolable.
