Intelligence​


Sandbox is here.

If it hasn't already taken you there, please go to the "First Draft" section. Everything else is just a bunch of notes.

Abilities​

Based on the intelligence, I request to add the following to Luffy's profile.
  • Information Analysis (Can deduce the weaknesses of opponents and find methods of countering their weaknesses in a short period of time)
  • Limited Power Mimicry (Can copy techniques of others, but it's limited to skills done without supernatural abilities)
  • Accelerated Development (Quickly deduces how abilities work and adds them to his arsenal)
    • He has Accelerated Development in his Post-Timeskip profile, so it'll be worded like this.
      • Accelerated Development (Battle and with sheer motivation; abilities and physical stats. Quickly understands abilities and adds them to his arsenal)
And separated from the intelligence portion, Luffy needs Reactive Power Level. He's shown over time to get stronger and faster to the point of where he can match those who could easily defeat him prior.

During his fight with Kuro, Luffy couldn't track him at all. Shown again. Later on in the fight, he could end up tracking him and seeing through his techniques.
During his fight with Enel, Luffy couldn't track his movements in his lightning form. Later on, he blitzes him in his strongest lightning form.
Blueno notes that Luffy got much stronger since the last time he saw him, and Luffy didn't do a single thing to have gotten stronger. He was even tracking his Soru and keeping up with it as well. But prior, Luffy couldn't track his Soru at all, and in fact even his base form could effortlessly dodge him.

Luffy should also get Minor Reactive Evolution, as sometimes he can gain resistances to abilities without doing much.
Luffy got stabbed by Crocodile's poison hook and progressively got weaker, and weaker, and weaker, then via willpower he got back to where he could keep up again to harm him, dodge his attacks, and end up defeating him with a barrage attack, whereas he couldn't even stand before.
Yes, I know that gaining antibodies is a thing, but not this fast at all where you can be resistant to a poison that just put you on the ground in less than a minute.

Also Air Manipulation for being able to blow large gusts of wind, shown again.

Edit 1​

Plus Pseudo-Flight for propelling himself via above.

Edit 2​

Also Status Effect Inducement by making his opponents dizzy by either grabbing them and spinning them, or punching them with spinning attacks. Shown here.
Adding Limited Body Puppetry for this.


Edit 3

Resistance to Curse Manipulation for wielding Nidai Kitetsu, a cursed sword.

Edit 4​

Supernatural Luck because of these.

TLDR​

Add intelligence.

Add abilities below.

Limited Power Mimicry (Can copy techniques of others, but it's limited to skills done without supernatural abilities), Accelerated Development (Battle and with sheer motivation; abilities and physical stats. Quickly understands abilities and adds them to his arsenal), Reactive Power Level, Minor Reactive Evolution (Through willpower, Luffy can endure abilities that harmed him prior, like Crocodile's poison), Air Manipulation and Pseudo-Flight (Can manipulate large gusts of wind, via either inhaling and expand his body, or exhaling and blow large gusts of wind to propel himself into the air), Supernatural Luck (Is an extremely lucky individual. Several feats of supernatural luck shown here)

Begnning of timeskip's Air Manipulation Justification would have an added note about how he can inhale and exhale gases.
Air Manipulation and Pseudo-Flight (Can manipulate large gusts of wind, via either inhaling and expand his body or to quickly suck in all air or gases in the area, or exhaling and blow large gusts of wind to propel himself into the air)

This thread's main purpose is to discuss if there's anything to add or remove from the sandbox above, and to see if the abilities given are good.

status effect inducement should be fine... Many pokemon can induce confusion and stuff..

Making them dizzy fits kinda 🤷‍♂️ tho could possibly be limited 🤔
 
What about resistance to curse manipulation for wielding a cursed blade (Nidai Kitetsu) plus Weapon Mastery for being able to use a Pipe?
 
Ehhh, I dunno.. he had it to fight Hawkins, but all he did was use his gum gum attacks, he didn't actually use the sword. I'm pretty sure that quote refers to ACTUAL swordsmen USING the sword, as opposed to having it in hand and not actually using it.

I also disagree with this one. He's not showing mastery at all with the pipe, he's just using it to beat up a bear. Anyone as strong as Luffy with a pipe could swing a pipe and hurt a bear.

Not too sure, the weapon owner was scared of just throwing the weapon out.

The owner of Nidai Kitetsu (the descendent of the dude who actually made the sword) confirmed Luffy would be put under its curse. Like he flat out said it.

No. It's not even skill. He's just swinging a pipe...
Yeah this is fair then. Probably was reaching
 
BTW I agree with everything else- forgot to mention that.

First Zoro now Luffy's intelligence looks beautiful.


....Sanji?
 
Fair enough. I might just be overly skeptical but he does flat out say it. Count me as neutral for now, I'd like to hear what others think first.
Thanks for the feedback tho I needed some opposition

When he's done being a simp, then maybe.
