User:SeaTerror/Superhuman Strength

Most humans in One Piece are normal everyday people who have average human strength and fighting skills. Some, however, display strength often referred to by people as "Superhuman Strength", that is strength far above and beyond of the normal human strength limits.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Normally, Superhuman Strength is a product of years of heavy training. Not every human with Superhuman Strength appears physically musclebound (such as Monkey D. Luffy). Some musclebound people, however, do not have this ability at all (Patty, for example displayed no signs of this ability). As displayed by Miss Monday, it is also not limited to just the male gender, as females can also achieve this level of strength.

Humans, who have Superhuman Strength, can easily destroy objects such as wood, concrete and in some cases, metal. In battle, they tend to rely on power-based attacks most of the time. The effectiveness of Superhuman strength is reduced against techniques such as Rokushiki. Many Devil Fruits are equally effective against them. Of course, sophisticated fighting styles or Devil Fruit powers, when honed and incorporated with inhuman physical power, makes the user all the more formidable in combat. It is difficult for normal humans to fight a Superhuman person unaided. However, an effective strategy can be used against them that can take advantage of their reliance on power and strength.

There is some difficulty when realizing which characters have this power and which do not. Eiichiro Oda does not always openly say when a character has it. It is also the strength possessed by some races such as the Fishmen and the Giants. This makes every member of these races far stronger than ordinary humans. To a degree, the effects of Haki may make the character emulate the signs of this condition, however, Haki is product of willpower, not raw physical strength.

Raw Strength
Many of the characters in the series have abnormal strength developed from training alone, and can, without the aid of a Devil Fruit, Haki or the benefits of their races' physical enhancements to the body.
