Yeah let's throw out the "interpretation" portion because it pretty blatantly says he has the highest offensive power of all devil fruits. That isn't something to be contested.
Akainu's DF ~ WB's DF > Shiki's DF
I agree with everything but for Gear 4th I think Mitch's suggestion works better than what's in the OP, so considering this I'm not sure Doffy and Law should backscale to 100 GT when a Kong Gun is 90 GT.
I have updated the OP, Doffy downscales to 52.15 GT, or baseline 6-C+
And because, like, Luffy defeat shiki in the same movie
Each string has a certain durability, if you overcome x number of strings with a movement, you'd need to overcome all their durability combined.
The other fellas here discussed this on another thread, they consider luffy defeating shiki an outlier
But isn't that the principle of the whole movie??
Yes. How is a protagonist defeating a villain he is not supposed to defeat not an outlier and a PIS?
Unless that's stated for this attack, I don't think it holds. Our multiplier page is quite clear on the fact that you may not use reasoning to 'figure out' a multiplier.
In general we have never upgraded characters to the sum of the durability of multiple characters they oneshot.
Tbf, luffy did got ragdolled by shiki the whole movie and only won when he got amped and shiki had a vision and didn't blocked or moved out of the way, so... idk
Yo i agree with C atleast for now
That's universe-specific for One Piece. It was mentioned multiple times that combining limbs or reducing limbs multiplies one's attack power, as you can see mentioned in the thread I linked.
I hadn't really questioned the string scaling until now, but you do make a good point. This is calculating the durability of a fictional material and multiplying someone's AP based off of how many they're able to break which isn't too different in theory than multiplying someone's AP off of the number of characters they can injure.
It is different in nature. Destroying multiple objects with a singular attack would require you to overcome the sum of their desctruction values. With characters, this can vary wildly with narrative, or the character getting stronger. Plus, we have tangible evidence that this is how One Piece operates.
Inverse mechanics
This is completely different.
Well, there's also the issue that Doflamingo's Parasite strings are much thinner and may be less durable than his Birdcage strings. The ones he uses in his Parasite technique and thin to the point of being nigh-invisible, whereas the width of his Birdcage strings if much more pronounced.
Birdcage strings are stronger than 5.03 GT, they were undamaged. Doflamingo was able to turn said thin strings into the birdcage with Black Knight, on top of being able to slice Fujitora's meteor with his normal strings.
That's the same thing though. What the metal thing did was also just "100 tons of the metal had x durability, character destroyed 3542 tons so he has to be 3.542 x stronger". Like, really, what you're doing is nothing but calculating a destruction value for a fictional material and then applying that to a new calc.
Base Forms are High 7-A. G2 and beyond are 6-C
"No other" is a strong word
Again, in-universe mechanics makes so the multiplication is possible. This doesn't compare to other verses in any shape, way, or form.
Circular scaling, he was going to die for holding for more than a brief moment, he doesn't scale.
What part of "circular scaling" do you not get?
Absolutely not. Compression doesn't multiply Hao, which is the only reason why Luffy is 15.9 PT
I agree with Charmander on this. The compression doesn't multiply his attacks like that.
And as I say again, we have a completely different mechanic in the verse that was accepted already, that united objects have united AP and the like.
That's fair
Agree
Agree with (C)
Yeah, I'm not really seeing the need for this compromise. A single attack overcame the durability of 9 strings, so it should scale to the combined durability of the 9 strings.
Nobody actually proposed a 6-string Low Ball.
Ok I have a reasonable counter to this.
