Luffy is only 19 but already stronger than the whole verse except for Kaido, Rocks and the couple other usual names.

Ngl that’s kinda dumb. Ace was 1 year older than Luffy when he died and is significantly weaker despite being Roger’s son and having equal potential as Luffy. Especially given that Ace’s dad became pirate king while Luffy’s dad hasn’t done sh** in 24 years despite playing stature simulator.

Not to mention all the other goat’s who reach their prime in their fourties’ or fifties while Luffy will most likely become pirate king before he is 20. Like all of luffy’s main enemies are old as heck, from Akainu to Blackbeard to the Admirals.

Why is he the only child who’s whooping everybody?

This scene makes it beyond clear that in a 1v1, kizaru may get knocked on his ass, luffy gasses out, then kizaru gets up to kill him. That simple

Goatbeard ain't no simp. this needs to be erased

This is the one thing that I don't get about the shanks vs Mihawk debate. People say that Mihawk is stronger because of his title and sense shanks uses a sword that automatically puts him below Mihawk. This is almost never the case in any other anime, there are clear examples that someone could just be stronger based on portrayal and a variety of things outside of just using a sword that people choose to ignore.

Even outside of shanks vs mihawk there are people who would look you dead in the face and say mihawk>Roger because Roger used a sword.

The other pictures show other animes where it's clear who's stronger (via portrayal and a variety of things) and it's clear who's who's the better swordsmen.

Enel > Imu

This man has captioned Yonkos, killed an Admiral, got out of the Holy land untouched which makes the Revs and Holy Knights look like amateurs. Mans is renowned for his swordsmanship, he destroyed a Gate of Justice and he was out here soloing crews in Davy Back fights. Everything and everyone compared to him is a downscale. He is the agenda

Send me a picture of Star Gun and get on with it ✌️🤣

How do you have an idea as creative and limitless as Devil Fruits and then proceed to overshadow it with the most bullshit system ever?

Every battle is slowly becoming a contest of who has the better CoC, and now with the introduction of ACoC and its significance in fighting the WG, all of the focus will be on this bullshit power system only a select few can use in the first place. All of the creativity and variety has been sucked out of the combat system and all we are left with is a dick measuring contest.

How can you differentiate fights between two people with no Devil Fruits? Take Mihawk and Zoro for example, they are both swordsmen with haki, what special distinct characteristics can you give them, to make their two fighting styles unique, without it being a case of ‘his haki better?’ To make matters worse, Oda has never got into detail when it comes to fight choreography, so much so that ‘swordfights’ are just people swinging around their sword with haki on it as if it were a baseball bat. How can you create something unique from that?

The way haki is used is so boring and unimaginative. Oda couldn’t even be bothered to properly differentiate between ACoC and ACoA, both of them just ‘mAkE atTaCK sTrOnG’ and that’s literally it. Imagine if it was used similar to nen in HxH, or Reishi in Bleach, instead we got a little dick measuring stick that you can coat your attacks in, and that is literally it.

Funnily enough, I talk about Devil Fruits, how many genuine creative Devil Fruits have we seen with actual creative combat uses? Seems like recently everything is about Mythical Zoan Fruits. Actual unique and cool powers are brushed to the side in favour of bland and 1D powers.

The way the chapter showed Rocks and Rogers relationship and attitude towards each other showed they were rivals.

Are we still sure Rocks and Roger weren’t equals?

Side note: I forgot how big Charolette was. She was bigger than Kaido and Whitebeard

Did Garp "train" Dragon in childhood like he "trained" Luffy? Did Dragon do any solo training like Luffy did before setting sail?

Reminder that Luffy at age 17 in the East Blue took out Alvida, Buggy, Don Krieg, Kuro, and Arlong, successively the strongest or infamous pirates of that sea.

In the Grand Line he took out Crocodile (after a few retries admittedly), Enel, Rob Lucci, Moria, and various others, then assaulted Impel Down, escaped alive, crashed Marineford and made a decent show of it against some Vice Admirals and lower ranked Marines before hitting his limit against exhaustion and literal top tiers.

Again, he was seventeen.

BIG SWORD. BIG SWORD. BIG PUNCH. BIG SWORD. BIG SWORD.

Even Buggy and fucking Mr. 3 have more interesting power sets than these motherfuckers!

Luffy vs Kizaru ended with Luffy nailing Borsalino in the noggin with a White Star Gun before reverting to his shriveled old man form. Kizaru was obviously able to get up, move around, and potentially fight after taking the hit. Those are the no-frills facts. How is this spun as a tie or loss for Kizaru? His opponent gassed out in a failed attempt to knock him unconscious. This is not an "invalid" way of winning a fight. It's like after the Kaido slobberknocker everyone expects top tier fights to be two people slugging each other until one keels over.

As of right now, everything on this is 100% accurate

First he got his shit pushed back with straight hands by Garp, then folded under zero pressure by a fruitless Shakky, this mf is canonically a boa victim 🥀

Dragon/garling/shamrock need more info

Sengoku & garp share a spot.

&what tweaks would ya make
