Armament Haki Changes

Marco himself isn't intangible, the flames are.

And Haki doesn't negate intangibility in general, it allows you to hit a logia's substantial body, which is why it did nothing to prometheus

You can't prove that hitting Marco's flames is equivalent to hitting a logia.

Literally went through his flames... You can see Rayleigh hitting a light sword as it was solid... Also haki has elemental intangibility negation for a reason....
which is why it did nothing to prometheus
It hit him solidly
I'm referring when Luffy could hit Prometheus with a barrage and physically touch his flames instead of shoving his fist through him with sound effects shown from the punching like what would happen to a regular fire.

Luffy punched prometheus as if he was a logia, then only didn't hurt him because he had no true body, not because haki doesn't allow that.
Or why would Luffy even punch him in the first place and compare him to a logia?
"He's worse than a logia" ≠ "I can't touch him with haki".

Literally went through his flames...
Again, prove Marco's flames function the same way a logia's element does, the reason CoA can hurt logia's is because it's hitting their substantial body, Marco isn't a logia, there's no reason for this to apply to him.
You can see Rayleigh hitting a light sword as it was solid...
No evidence that Kizaru's light sword is intangible, it literally states on his profile that he creates a sword of light and then solidifies it.
Also haki has elemental intangibility negation for a reason....
Not relevant to anything I've said, you're ignoring the specifics for how CoA "negates" logia intangibility, which don't apply to Marco.
It hit him solidly

And the anime supports him hitting Prometheus solidly
No Luffy didn't hit Prometheus, the air from his punches was dissipating Prometheus the same way blowing air onto fire would.

Anime is completely irrelevant, we don't use games to support our arguments, no different with the anime, they're both equally as non canon.

Also, the anime literally shows Luffy's fists going through Prometheus if you look at it closely, he's just stopping them before they go all the way through, so yeah, hardly supportive of your argument.

Lastly, if Luffy was truly hitting Prometheus, KingTempest wouldn't have had NPI switched to Elemental Intangibility negation in the first place here

  • Regarding the canon: In terms of canon material, this wiki deems the manga as the primary canon. The anime is considered secondary canon on a case by case basis. In the case of anime, it contradicts statements, feats, personalities, and abilities of characters in many cases. This happens with censorship, filler content in canon material, and pacing. Since we have confirmation that Oda approves certain scenes in the anime, we've decided to take the anime as canon in the areas where it perfectly or similarly represents the manga, and the scenes not shown in the manga that are represented in the anime will be deemed as filler. It was decided in this thread.

Literally makes hitting noises....

Logia are natural elements... Marco's act the same.


Your blatantly being ignorant to support your argument. I ain't responding.

The manga doesn't have those hitting noises, it has "Woosh" noises, the kind commonly used to represent the noise made from punching air.

How are blue magical flames that instantly heal you natural? He's a Mythical Zoan for a reason, because it's not something that occurs naturally, this is exactly why Katakuri's Mochi Mochi no Mi was changed to a Special Paramecia from a Logia.

Marco isn't a logia, you can't prove that his flames function the same as a logia's.

Not magical and they speed up your natural healing to a very fast rate....

Because it's based of off a mythical creature...
this is exactly why Katakuri's Mochi Mochi no Mi was changed to a Special Paramecia from a Logia.
Yee and he is intangible...
 
Where was it said that Garp cracked his neck?
We can see his neck twisted.
And why would Marco have bandages on his forehead if his neck was cracked?
He has bandages on his neck.
Matter of fact, we see the damage Garp causes, it's a little bruise on Marco's cheek, so why do we even assume the bandages are for Garp's attack when they're on his forehead?
Forehead and neck.
Not sure what you're referring to, Marco was shot in the chest twice, a laser through the chest is far more lethal than a punch to the forehead, literally impossible for him to not have been hit in a vital organ when he was shot through the chest.
Fine
Garp isn't the strongest marine, nothing confirms this.
Don't focus on this point
We don't know if Haki can negate regen either, it's an assumption.
Assumption based on evidence provided. No reason why Marco didn't heal the damage brought up by him.
I never said everybody, I'm specifically referring to Kizaru, an Admiral, someone who's already demonstrated Advanced CoA.
Irrelevant.
Know what else isn't solid? A swordsman's air slash
False equivalence.
Swordsmen don't infuse the air with haki then send it flying. They infuse their sword with haki then send air pressure along with the haki, which is why we don't see black air.

Better answer? Lasers don't have mass. How do you put haki in/on something that doesn't have mass.
Kizaru's an Admiral... And he's demonstrated advanced CoA, if fodder swordsmen can put Haki onto literal air, Kizaru can put it on his lasers.
They don't put Haki on air, idk who lied to you and told you that.
And no, we don't have proof Kizaru can do that.

And no, fodder swordsmen don't do it. Brook, who's definitely not a fodder swordsman, couldn't do it until after the timeskip and noted it as a move for a certain level of swordsmen
The Haki remains on the Mochi after he separates it from his body, why can't Kizaru do the same with light that literally makes up his body?
Mochi has mass. Mochi is solid. Both things that light are not.
Gravity is a force, quite different to light.
Gravity has no mass. Gravity isn't solid. Both no mass.
Debatable whether or not Whitebeard could use Haki on his quakes
Not debatable. We see him send a projectile against a logia and it doesn't work.
Neither is an air slash.
They might as well be since they're compressed air which people can deflect, kick, punch, etc. it.




Your argument is that they can put haki on the lasers.
Prove you can put haki on something with little to no mass.
Your argument is 100000% headcanon based on absolutely nothing but "if fodder swordsman can do it".
 
They both are elements... They both act intangible
Listing off similarities isn't going to magically turn Marco into a logia

The ボ next to Prometheus denotes "Whoosh" when used as SFX, which is to indicate something moving fast or the noise created by something moving fast, like punching air
Not magical and they speed up your natural healing to a very fast rate....
They're literally magical flames, hardly a natural element.
Because it's based of off a mythical creature...
Yeah, mythical creatures aren't natural...
Yee and he is intangible...
Which means nothing, I never said Katakuri wasn't intangible, he's basically a logia, Oda just renamed him to a Special Paramecia to fit logia's being natural elements.
 
Monkey never said it's a natural element.

He said it enhances your natural healing.
He's been comparing it to the natural elements of logia for like three posts now

Logia are natural elements... Marco's act the same.

Your blatantly being ignorant to support your argument. I ain't responding.
Marco isn't a logia, nor are his flames a natural element, so no, they're not the same.

Hell, Marco shouldn't even have intangibility, the entire point of the flames is that he does take damage, he just heals it nigh instantly, giving the appearance that the attacks pass through, love to see the thread where his intangibility was accepted.

That could just be Luffy's fist moving, noted by him in gear second using his jet gatling, his fastest attack

Exactly, my point was that the sound of Luffy's punches actually connecting with something physically isn't in the manga like it is the anime.
 
all that matters is that the SFX in the manga doesn't indicate that Luffy's punches are connecting like it does in the anime.
It doesn't need to when we can see luffy literally hitting it solid perfectly

If luffy didn't hit Prometheus solidly he would have realized sooner that it wasn't working
 
We can't though

His punch isn't connecting with Prometheus, that's just parts of Prometheus dissipating.
You can literally see Luffy's knuckle on the fire that he's hitting... Literally every single punch
 
IMG_20210929_080341.jpg

The reason why Prometheus wasn't hurt by Luffy's punches was because Prometheus doesn't have a "true body", considering that Prometheus has immortality type 3,5 and 6 it only makes sense that Busoshoku haki doesn't hurt him or destroy it completely, but it doesn't take away the fact that Luffy made contact with his elemental form (as you can see in this scan).
 
???
What has that anything to do with what I said?
I don't really see what repeating it for the 5th or 6th time is going to change

Luffy isn't touching Prometheus, it just appears that way because the air produced from his punches is dissipating Prometheus, the same way blowing air into a fire distorts the fire and changes its shape.

Except he is touching Prometheus, his face clearly indicates that Luffy's punches is touching his elemental form, how are you going to explain Prometheus's expression otherwise? Prometheus just chooses to close his eyes because of air produced from Luffy's punches? since when is Air capable of doing that in One piece? especially the fact it doesn't make any sense in context.
 
The vivre card saying nothing about armament haki not working, but it just does no damage
1059-02-Prometheus-2.jpg
What does that prove exactly?

We already know that Luffy was unable to damage Prometheus

Doesn't this directly disprove elemental intangibility negation, it says that the reason Luffy can't damage Prometheus is because he's fire.
 
1059-02-Prometheus-4.jpg

*Big Mom followed by her right hand
The incarnation of a flaming flame that melts and burns!

Big Mom, a.k.a. Charlotte Linlin, is a "homie," a being whose soul was put into her by the ability of the Solsol fruit. Prometheus is one of those special homies that has been condensed into a disaster and has Linlin's own soul in it, making him look like the sun. As his appearance suggests, he always emits a scorching heat, and will incinerate anything at Linlin's command.
Its weaknesses are a special attack that directly damages the soul and a large amount of water.
However, it is extremely difficult to damage them.
ways to hurt it, is by attacking the soul (Brook) and or a large amount of water (Jinbe)...

1059-02-Prometheus-5.jpg

In the battle against the Soul King, or Brook, he was attacked directly in the soul, resulting in his first hand injury.

How? He's hitting it solidly and it's not doing damage.... I mean they only thing is to find a statement that says it's hitting it solidly... Actually it would be the other way around... No where does it say it doesn't/can't hit elemental beings solidly.

All that Vivre Card scan you posted says is that Luffy is unable to damage Prometheus with CoA because he's fire, that directly debunks elemental intangibility negation.
 
What does that prove exactly?

So, you concede to the fact that Luffy indeed was touching Prometheus, meaning he was interacting with Elemental beings aka Elemental intangibility? (the point we were trying to make). Aren't you taking this out of context once again? Prometheus is practically immortal, elemental intangibility negation doesn't allow you to kill immortal beings, let alone -- Type 3 Immortality - Immortality via regeneration: Characters with this type of immortality can simply regenerate from wounds that would normally be lethal, though its effectiveness depends on the degree of the regeneration.

Like Tempest said luffy destroyed it and it came back, doesn't debunk our points.

 
That doesn't debunk anything.

Elemental intan negation means it negates intangibility.
Haki users hit the true body.
After Luffy negated the intan, there was nothing behind it.
So essentially, CoA isn't negating elemental intangibility, it's moreso exploiting a weakness of logia intangibility?

Just because Kizaru has a "substantial body" that can be hit by CoA doesn't mean Sandman from Marvel Comics does too

It's stated to force the user's body into solidarity, i.e. forcing it into its state where it can be harmed.

Sandman wasn't born a blob of sand like how Prometheus was born a blob of fire, which means that if he's "forced into solidarity" like a logia, he'll be harmed.
