User blog comment:Mythical zoan fruit enthusiast/For those who want Luffy to have Mera Mera and Gomu Gomu/@comment-9101417-20130509142944/@comment-5640399-20130509163218

I told myself I was staying out of this argument and I would have, but you're lying, granted, you may not be aware of it, making baseless claims and being unnecessarily agressive. But, first, finish your first sentence before moving on to the next one. Stop ending your comments with #FACT, especially when they're not facts and finally, read the fucking manga!

First I'll address a critic of my own comments on the subject, Marco never, ever said anything even remotely resembling "Ace will live on in Luffy." That's a lie. Whitebeard did say that the wills of those people with D. in their name cannot be extinquished and are inherited even if their bloodlines are destroyed. He said SOMEONE, not necessarily Luffy, would inherit Ace's WILL, not his fruit.

Then you said in response to stangrugger, that the reason Ace was shown when Luffy used the Red Hawk was foreshadowing (that's the word, not subliminal) and in some convulted way proof that Luffy would get the Mera Mera no Mi. I accept that it's possible that you don't know this, but that NEVER HAPPENED! If it's not in the manga, then it's not canon, and that isn't in the manga.

You've also said that the Mera Mera no Mi would make Luffy "more unique." To quote Mihawk, the Whitebeard Commanders and then Marco. "He possesses some quality that makes people want to help him. And in these waters, that is the most formidable power of all." "We witnessed first hand his boundless determination and power. Ace protected him and pops acknowledged him!" "Akainu! Could it be that what you fear in him is the very thing that makes him our hope for the future?!" Three cases of immensely powerful characters endorsing Luffy as one of the most dangerous, powerful and unique people alive, and no Mera Mera no Mi in sight. Luffy's not Ichigo, he doesn't need to be given every single advantage in the book to overcome his enemies, he just needs his own powers, which are hardly scarce for Christ's sake!

Finally, Luffy's yet to even be challenged by anyone in the New World, so claiming that there are 'loads?' of people stronger than him is ridiculous, as is the idea that a fruit that was rendered so utterly useless against Blackbeard and Akainu would somehow help Luffy defeat the Yonko and Fleet Admiral! And to finally finish, REALLY, READ THE MANGA BEFORE YOU COME HERE AND ACT LIKE YOU HAVE SOME RETARDED FOREKNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW THE GREATEST MANGAKA IN DECADES IS GONNA FUCK UP HIS MASTERPIECE WITH AN INSIPID PLOT TWIST!
