Well I'd see no reason why Oars wouldn't try to read and or copy moves ESPECIALLY in a moment like this, where he's getting jumped and attacked my tiny people. Oars couldn't even "wash" them as they were far too resilient and agile, so if anything why wouldn't he try to. He was even getting frustrated and was just having baby rage iirc because of them, which is imo nothing like Luffy
They were throwing combo attacks at him. He can't copy combo attacks.
They sent Brook flying like a slingshot with a lightning amped sword at him.
They made a giant bird shaped fireball.
They used devil fruit only abilities like Robin's and Chopper's.
Heck, Sanji caught on fire and Zoro used pillar swords.
Things he did copy from Luffy that we see is his love of using the surroundings for battle, shown
here and
here, predicting trajectory of attacks, shown
here, sending back attacks, shown
here.
Even his method of countering is similar to Luffy, dodging very close range attacks and countering like how he did
here, blocking off guard attacks like
here.
Also, if yall saw Thriller Bark, you know that after all the damage that was put on him,
he's not going down unless Diane does something like
completely shatter his skeleton.
I won't come and bring up
all of Oars' abilities until
his CRT gets accepted, nor will I close this thread and abuse my power cause I want Oars to win (I obviously want Oars to win because I can believe he can win), but just saying that what he can do now is good enough to win.
