Why is "destroy the world" statement a hyperbole?

Why would two characters who know Whitebeard closely like Sengoku and Tsuru be "exaggerating" about the power of the Gura Gura No Mi?

What reasons do they have to lie or exaggerate?

In addition to the Databook, it is also mentioned.

Why it would be a "hyperbole when mid tiers/ High tiers have island level feats (Under the "measurements" your own wiki) and Whitebeard is a God tier of the verse.


Why is Oda bothering to draw this scene if the Gura Gura no mi does have only island-level effects or AoE, and no at global scale?

Why would people have Panic if they are literally on other continents from the MF war?

You don't need to literally destroy the world in order to figuratively destroy the world.

The One Piece world, for the most part, is set on a vast collection of island. Islands that are quite vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis which Whitebeard has the power to use at will.

If he wanted, Whitebeard could wipe out the majority of the world without actually approaching anywhere near to Planet level Attack Potency.

There is a vast, vast difference between Island level and Planet level.

No matter how you look at it, it would be an extreme outlier by every other metric of the verse.

Pretty much this

Aside from that, there are several statements that say he can destroy the world. But unfortunately, that won't mean much without context.

So I might have to disagree with the OP
 
Theoretically you or me could “destroy” the world rn.

It can mean so many different things besides actually destroying the planet itself, as Damage mentioned with WBs power, current AP and range he could absolutely just go around and wipe out most islands in the world which would effectively equate to “destroying the world”.

In this case, wouldn't the slightest interpretation of destroying the world be used, which refers to something superficial?

Like an Low end and a high end?

Thats is measurable.

I didnt say planet level, or any scale at all, im saying thay there is no reason to target the statememt as an hyperbole at all.


There is a vast,
Again, didnt say any scale at all.

And there is vast difference between someone like enel, zunesha, Ace and Whitebeard

Then what are you even trying to do here?

If you just want to say it's legitimate than sure Whitebeard can "destroy the world" over an unknown period of time. The reason this scan is hyperbole is because people try to use it in context that he can destroy the planet in one shot.

Read what I wrote.

It is that the extension of his power is global, and that is why it can destroy the world, superficially at least, which is what I say, therefore the statement should not be hyperbole.

I did, that's why I commented.

Saying it's suggesting global means he could eventually destroy the entire world's surface over an unknown period of time. So if you interpret it that way, the statement isn't hyperbole.

Sengoku clearly says that even though he has a numerical advantage, WB can wipe out then, before the statement.

It is obvious that the danger is imminent.


I'm not interested in any calculation, because I don't know how, my point is that the statement is considered hyperbole when there is no reason for it, when it most likely refers to surface damage.

So this CRT is entirely redundant?

It is to remove the "destroy the world" statement from the hyperbole page and let it be a usable statement for scaling in verse.
By default, going off what you yourself said above. You would be suggesting High 6-A/Multi-Coninent level One Piece God Tiers at minimum. Because if it's imminent, that means he'll wipe out surface in one shot.
 
Outside of it being an outlier, inconsistent with the verse, no proof of it scaling to anybody, no proof of the actual destruction when the largest we've seen are Tsunamis sent to another island, etc., then idk

I agree with removing it from the hyperbole page, we should put it on the outlier page instead.
This^
It's not hyperbolic, it's just outlierish.

Until we see the ancient weapons in action, we might as well ignore these and wait.

If he was unintentionally causing tremors around the world without trying to do it.

What is the problem with it, if he really wanted to cause earthquakes around the world to the point to destroy it superficially?

We don't see Earthquakes on a global scale. For all we know the one island we saw could be just further along the Grand Line from Marineford.

We'd need more evidence for widespread destruction for that to be relevant.

I was only saying that's the minimum of what it would be going off your suggestion.

The guy says there have been many earthquakes today, not just one, several.

So WB was intentionally only sending earthquakes to that island? Obviously no.

It's collateral damage from what was happening at MF, and it was around the globe because of Tsuru statement.
 
how big is the accepted size for one piece earth? if whitebeard was going to destroy all the islands on a world's surface, then depending on how big it is it could be much higher
 
Jupiter size for lowball
what tier is destroying every island on a planet the size of Jupiter assuming each island is 500 kilometers distance from each other and halfway between Alabasta and Desoroaotiaotioa (the small one) and each island dots the entire surface of the planet and the shockwave destroys them all at once


ALSO WTF LOWBALL? WHAT'S THE HIGHBALL?
 
I should mention the whole destroy the world stuff is mentioned in viz translation. Though regardless it’s still on the eh side we don’t know how fast he’s gonna destroy the world he could take years months hours etc. “The world” could also be referring to society

Sun size for Highball
Currently ignored and we use regular earth size
It's doesn't make sense, regular Earth comparing to moon size is 1:4, One pieces planet compare to its moon more than 1:10.
