One Piece: Marco's Flames CRT

A few additions to Marco

Shockwave Generation and Durability Negation:
It's already been confirmed in the SBS and manga that Phoenix flames aren't real flames like the Mera Mera etc, they don't spread like fire and they don't burn people. When Marco uses his flames offensively despite not burning they are shown to damage characters, being described as a shock wave; we can see this to be true as despite Queen taking severe damage his exterior skin was shown unharmed.

Shock waves in the One Piece universe are consistently described and shown to be a form durability negation. Thus Marco who's phoenix flames share this property would have these abilities.

Shockwave Generation and Durability Negation (His Phoenix Flames used offensively have the properties of a shock wave, which can bypass exterior defenses and internally damage the victim)

Fire Manipulation:
Small update to his fire manipulation justification. Despite being evenly matched initially in a clash Prometheus was eventually repelled due to Marco's phoenix flames; this is described by Marco being due to the Phoenix Flames "special properties" rather than just Marco overpowering Prometheus. Thus his phoenix flames should have the properties to repel regular flames.

Fire Manipulation (Can control blue fire that has healing abilities in him and in others, and can also shoot fireballs at people. His phoenix flames have "special properties" allowing them to repel regular flames)

Is phoenix brand like a durability-negating shockwave attack?

If so we can just scale Zoan Queen's durability to be far above his base.
Yes his fire balls negate durability via shockwaves, also no reason for it just to be phoenix brand.

The justification doesn't need to be changed, it's the same value regardless.
 
Not sure why you think King and Queen's durability justifications need to be changed because of this.

Because if all of Marco's flame attacks are shockwaves that negate durability we can't use them for scaling. That's why Killer isn't ranked at Yonko level with his own shockwave attacks.

King would still have yonko-lvl durability in base due to scaling above his no-flame base which took an attack from Haoshoku Infusion Zoro, albeit with some bleeding and a bad cut, and kept going.

Listing a character's Durability Negation feats on an AP justification isn't the same as listing a characters durability feats against durability negation.

Killer using dura neg to harm someone is not the same as King/Queen's taking durability negating attacks.

I mean their organs have durability that scale to the dura negation, I suppose.
 
Shouldn't he have some sort of soul manipulation for making Big Mom's homies useless and instantly knocked out with his flames?

Which attack are you talking about here?
 
Zeus was knocked out prior by brook.
Zeus was awake during the clash with Prometheus, and we see him generating electricity, but after Linlin drop Marco's neck we only see him fully knocked out with x-shaped eyes, even though he was not directly hit by Marco's flames. Big Mom's speech give more reassurance to suppose Zeus was affected by Marco's special properties (Soul manip), since she said that she had no spiritual weapons to fight him at that moment.

Fair enough then.
 
Question, as far as we I know, only one thing generates shockwaves in One Piece and that's the Gura Gura No Mi. What other instances in the series do we have to support all shockwaves negating durability?

There are also:
  • Impact Dial and Reject Dial (the dials from skypeia)
  • Rokuogan (the rokushiki’s ultimate technique)

See the sources listed in the OP, including the ones I listed there's also kroom.
 
Minor thing. Would it not be more accurate to describe it as “Limited“ Durability Negation?

We list both the Impact Dial and Rokuogan as minor durability negation (On Usopp’s and Lucci’s page) so if Marco’s flames follow a similar logic, it should probably be listed in the same manner.

Idk who decided on that but it was probably many years ago.

Attacking internal organs is listed on the durability negation page's standards list, there's no reason for minor/limited to be applied.
