A lot can be said for and against ACE, but everything comes down to the level of power displayed by everyone before the time skip. examples
*Moria having challenged Kaido and lived, only to be beaten by Luffy.
*WB's clash against Shanks split the sky, he didn't do anything that awesome in Marineford
*Jimbe who was surrounded by water didn't use it much
*Croco-boy held his own in Marine ford after being beaten by Pre-Gear Luffy
For anyone thinking Teach is weak: besides scratching Shanks (permanently I might add) he'd already killed Satch and managed to escape the territory (not that we're told how all of this happened)
Don't also forget he told ACE that his plan to keep chasing after Luffy to make his name.
You need to know Sanji's real name man, that alone should be enough. if it isn't Luffy and Chopper shoot beams in one episode. See you there 😂
Look at how Shanks reacted when the bandit disappeared and Ben's reaction to that,...
This has to be a testament to how useful shanks is on his own regardless of how strong he was at the time 😂 Things like this happen in OP and we just have to live with it 🤷♂️
Garp was injured by Capt. Morgan for crying out loud 😒
Maybe advanced isn't the right word, but you get what i mean. to deal more damage you use armament, and to properly guard against it.
To be precise, the hardening/black is an advanced version of the invisible Haki.
Hancock's kicked smoker, in the same manner, at Marineford.
Infusing Haki into the target is the next level. think of Law's Gama Knife, but quicker and more explosive/destructive.
I'm pretty sure after Jimbei broke off from big mom, Neptune was going to change the flag to the Stawhat's, or really wanted to
Right before he fights Bruno at Enis Lobby ep270 I think
The very first Second Gear Punch was mesmerizing. No one saw it coming, and Bruno's reaction was even better LOL.
Shanks would have been there sooner 😁😁😁
I was re-watching the Sora Jima arc and noticed a claim from Usopp that even for him went a little far. "Nothing's impossible for me" right after Sanji & Luffy kick him at the same time and throw his back out. he then proceeds to throw it back in place, which surprised the two* So I thought I'd just ask the rest of you good people that know the man from his humble beginning to his current state of godliness.
What's the one thing Usopp's said that you can't wait to see come true?
Luffy simply has fate on his side and to top it off He's actually gunning for the title of Pirate King.
Roger on the other hand simply wanted "to turn the world upside down" with no intentions of being called the King of anything.
If you haven't already seen it, you'll love the *Love Ordeal* Lol
Garp has not been shown imprisoning anyone the entire series. Dadan and her crew are among the few Unlawful characters he's just let slide, not to mention Shakky. Hell he even let Morgan go after he was sent to just transport him :)
It's probably just not his thing.
Better theory than most Bro. Kudos. I can see sabo Killing a CD if they retaliated against his efforts to take Kuma by KILLING Kuma (you know, if i can't have this neither can you type of situation. Charlos is stupid enough to do this)
He's probably the likes of Shanks and Rayleigh. They are not introduced as Swordsmen, but seem to prefer having one around. It's been said that Shanks dueled with Mihawk, so you could say he's an implied swordsman.
Shanks is not ambitious, that's most likely why.
My question is what could he have possibly done to get himself Yonko'd?? The guy doesn't go around destroying countries and such (Big Mom, Kaido and Whitebeard had their resumes)
So who got killed of this time?
Is it Vivi's father or Vivi herself?
Im had Luffy, Yowahoshi, and Vivi's pictures/poster veggie he was asked about who's be made an example of. Luffy is alive and so is Yowahoshi, Garp said something about Vivi that worried Yowa.. We know there was an assassination, so who do you guys think it is?
Guys the last thing Jimbei said was that ALL FISHMEN were going back alive. Maybe not all of them survived, but he's out there somewhere strategizing.
The alliance only had 4200 members accounted for in Wano, Franky thinks 10k could just show up, and we know it'll take quote a few more allies for the odds to starry looking good.
So Jimbei is out there recruiting/gathering some help.
To everyone that's knocking the bat moment, I say shut up. As consumers (fans) there are plenty of things we wish were different, but this won't change the fact that we have to make due with what we get.
In the same episode we see zoro ask luffy to stay out of the fight, but doesn't finish the guy with a new technique of some sort. We'd all had been satisfied with this.
Skip a few chapters in the manga, and Luffy not only uses G2 strategically; he also takes care of Holdem with one hit because of anger.
We all know luffy is generally inconsistent, so quit it.
If you're still on Arlong park, you've got a long way to go. Don't get attached to any actions any characters have until they fully join the crew. That's my advice :) then you have my permission to get attached. LOL
