I mean, VSBW stats aside, he clearly isn't close to Big Mom to the same extent Ray, Beckman and Zoro are to their captains, we know for sure BM can oneshot Katakuri at any moment if she means it, those other cases tho? Damn, i don't see even Marco or King being one shot by their captains, even regen/recovery aside.
Yeah as far as future rival great pirates like Roger had with Shikki or WB the biggest contenders for that are Kid and Law, Katakuri was just a stepping stone for Luffy.
Haki is the energy manifested by ones soul so... anyway, now it is a literal thing that's what i wanted to point out, before it was a metaphorical thing but now we literally see the sword reacting like Oden.
He was fully healed, likely even the broken bones.
Mhm, could be the explanation behind cursed swords I guess or this is a thing for all swords (who knows)
oh okay then
Hmm, i always forget Enma is a cursed blade, meh, i think it's a more in general thing or an enma-only thing, or maybe all cursed blades have that to a lesser extent but i don't like this path.
If that applies then Zoro forcing his Haki back into his body after Enma inhaled it implies the existence of some form of soul manip resistance for haki users.
Can somebody remind me what that is referring to please?
Undercover marines pretending to be pirates
That its yet to be reveal, but its likely that SWORD's objective go against World Government's interests.
If Coby is a SWORD, I imagine Garp is one too, maybe.
I assume it's because Sword is a secret to even the WG, so those who know about it like CP0 don't talk about it and want to take care of it under cover. Likely because Sword is.. Maybe like the Neo Marines from Z Movie, their own values and whatnot.
Extremely warn-out Appo, yes.
Damn you are right, now we are back to 0 match ups for Usopp, the numbers were the perfect match up but everyone minus Usopp KO'ed one of them.
It would have been bad writting for the Strongest Organization Of The WG to get beat from usopp honestly...
downplaying usopp?!!
CP0 existing is already sort of "I need to keep WG relevant"-kind of writing. Which I wouldn't judge if someone called it bad.
Ain't Snack > Perorin? That could give us some relevant scaling, no?
Perospero has a higher bounty than him, plus when Perospero nominated himself as the next captain the only other nomination was Katakuri due to being the strongest (Smoothie, Cracker and Snack would all have a right to being captain over Perospero if they were stronger than him).
Both of these factors aren't really determining whether he's stronger or not. The Self-Nomination isn't really acknowledged by anyone. The other problem with this argument is that, if you consider his Self-Nomination as an argument, this would mean he is stronger than Smoothie and Cracker, both who have higher bounties, essentially contradicting your use of Perospero's bounty as a point.
True, I honestly forgot the scene due to it being so long but essentially Daifuku says power in general is what matters so It doesn't exclude Cracker or Smoothie.
We know power does not determ Bounty. Daifuku's claim is just stupidity.
Urogue should get praise for defeating Snack, not the other way around. (As we have no frame of reference for Urogue other than losing to Cracker)
Yonkou Rankings, do rely on power, however. If King had a 980 mil Bounty despite being First Commander, the correct assumption would still be that he is above the likes of Jack.
Power definitely plays a role in a bounty number as Aokiji says, there's more to it but saying power doesn't determine bounties isn't true.
Urogue gets praise for defeating Snack, how impressive that is overall is based on how impressive Snack is (Who overall hasn't been that impressive)
Except that isn't the case is it? King has the highest, then Queen and lastly Jack then the tobiroppo. Same goes for the sweet commanders with Katakuri, Smoothie then Cracker and then the rest.
There isn't evidence for that though.
Ahem.
This sounds like he's a reoccurring character. He's not. We cannot claim he hasn't been impressive (as in, unimpressive), if he has never shown anything. He is impressive enough to be a sweet commander.
You missed my point entirely. The word "if" plays a role in my sentence. Point being, Bounties will never be a reasonable factor to determ one's power if the difference is so insignificant.
His title is an evidence.
Do we know that? Do we actually know that? Why didn't they come to help Big Mom in Wano, then? Don't say it's their Injuries, Perospero lost an arm.
How does that change the fact he used to rank above Perospero, and now is ranked equally?
In all fairness, for all we know, Snack might be very strong in terms of just raw power, but Perospero's just an overall better combatant? Urouge isn't exactly a complicated fighter after all, where he can be a damage sponge and erturn it, so it's likely that Snack is that kind of fighter, while Persopero's more versatile (and likely more endurant.)
As if Brachiosnakus makes sense
So you're telling me Oda's dinosaur facts are made up??
