There're plenty of things to be discussed here. I recently ended Skypiea Arc so I'll make a CRT with the most important things from the whole series I remember.
But in order to avoid making an even bigger CRT that I first intended to I'll stick to some general suggestions and those regarding the Strawhats. In the future I'll make more threads like this for other characters such as the Shichibukai and the Supernova. This is large enough without them.
I'll stick to the things some characters should have listed on their profiles.
Take a sit before start reading.
Luffy
First of all I want to say that Attack Reflection or at least limited should be listed. Luffy has bounced back bullets and cannonballs, and he can do this with any solid projectile strong enough. I've seen a profile where the same kind of Attack Reflection was listed but I don't remember whom.
During Crocodile's fight Luffy was affected by the Shichibukai's hook which had a very strong poison capable enough to melt rocks with just a little touch. Luffy's Limited Corrosion Inducement Resistance comes from this but I don't know if Limited is correct. He was totally unaffected by the corrosion despite he was bleeding from the wound Crocodile did with the hook. This is the original CRT.
One Piece Wikia states that during WCA Luffy only slept a few hours during the last days and he still managed to fight against Cracker, the Revenge Army and Katakuri. He took a beat from most of them, including Sanji when he wasn't defending at all. Now we have the Stamina justification with the 13 hours he fought Katakuri but the previous part it's also important since it gives the whole context.
This is from the Wikia:
Also the OPW again has a big list of feats about his luck. While most of them aren't good feats I guess it's more than enough to add Supernatural Luck even if it's not combat applicable.
Zoro
There is the possibility of Zoro having Fear Manipulation after the Time Skip. During the fight with Monet Zoro cut her at half without using Haki but Zoro scared Monet so hard that she hardly could regenerate from the cut even if she wasn't damaged at all.
Such as Luffy, Zoro has this listed on his Wikia's profile:
During Kaku's fight Zoro was capable of use some kind of Aura when Asura came out for the first time. And during Wano Arc the Yokozuna said that Zoro emits a strange Aura. Haki is currently listed as Aura but apparently this isn't the same thing.
Nami
Genius Intelligence regarding weather. She knows how weather works and it's a proficient chemistry given the expertise she shows using her Clima Tact variations which are weapons that uses different elements. None of these elements are strong without Nami's knowledge.
Nami's Vehicular Master should be added. During Skypiea Arc she mastered the use of the Weaver. A vehicle that take years of practice and a vast knowledge about the seas. She did it almost instantaneously.
Stealth Mastery. She's a thief since young age and can pickpocket her victims without them noticing this. He did this to the people of his hometown and they noticed it when she shown what she had done.
Nami can't control the lightnings she uses and sometimes her allies could be involved in her attacks. That's a weakness missing on her profile.
After the upgrades made by Usopp and Franky her Sorcery Clima Tact can grow or decrease in length when different pressures are applied on it so this should be Limited Size Manipulation
Nami's stamina is also higher than Superhuman. Miss Doublefinger stabbed her several times but Nami kept fighting. The same thing happened during Enies Lobby Arc when she fought Kalifa. Nami can fight being injured and with serious blood loss.
Usopp
His stamina's description is also poor compared to feats. During his fight alongside Chopper against Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas he was hit in the face with a 4-ton metal bat and smashed through rock walls twice and even with his skull fractured he kept fighting and won. And he was fine during the rush when the Strawhats were looking for the bomb in Alubarna. And this is from the Wikia:
In weaknessess it should be listed that his Impact Dial damages him if he uses it.
Sanji
Sanji's profile should reflect his actual ability in his fighting style. Skilled Martial Artist isn't enough to describe a character who has fought with mighty martial artist in the past such as Kuroobi (Fishman Karate), Bon Clay (Okama Kenpo), Wanze (Ramen Kenpo) and even Jabra who's a master of Rokushiki. Master Martial Artist should be listed instead. He even defeated the 99 Masters of Newkama Kenpo during his training.
Even if it's situational, Sanji has shown proficiency using knives as weapons against Wanze. He was trained during his childhood to use a sword but it's unknown if he's as good with swords as he is with knives.
This is directly quoted from the wikia:
Chopper
Change in his Statistics Amplification's justification: (His Devil Fruit increases his physical abilities, and he can further enhance his stats with various forms such as Guard Point and Arm Point).
During Whole Cake Arc Chopper used Monster Point when Big Mom was chasing the Thousand Sunny and he apparently overcame the strain the transformation puts on him because he was fine afterwards. Even then he used Monster Point in the Seducing Woods to beat the giant lizard and he didn't need time to rest so apparently this weakness is no longer applicable.
Regarding his intelligence it should be noted that Chopper has tactical skills (as seen against Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas) aswell combat applicable anatomy knowledge (as seen against Oars).
I don't know how to call this:
Robin's stamina should be updated. During Arabasta she handled many armed soldiers with her hands with no showings of fatigue and was stabbed by Crocodile and survived. During Skypiea she fought Yama and took several attacks from his Axe Dials just to protect the ruins and even then she stomped him at the moment they were far away from the ruins. He also protected Rebecca from Diamante's Death Enjambre being severely injured in the process.
Franky
His profile has something wrong: Statistics Amplification (Can increase his physical strength by drinking soda). Franky doesn't drink soda. He stores the cola within his stomach with the modifications he made.
Enhanced Senses: Franky seem to be born with great hearing, as he could hear the dwarves trying to open the SMILE factory door from a fairly long distance while been back slammed by Senior Pink.
Genius Intelligence regarding his engineer and shipwright skills.
Weapon Mastery while Franky doesn't use weapons as such his whole body is a weapon. He even uses fire weapons such as Weapons Left or Beans Left. Also he used a concrete-made nunchucks during Thriller Bark with some proficiency.
Transformation Franky Centaurus (just Pre TS).
Hair Manipulation boop his nose and wait. Not combat applicable.
Better Fire Manipulation after TS (was shown stronger than the Pre TS attack).
During Dressrosa he fought Senor Pink in a heated battle, also he fought Machvise, Dellinger and the marines leaded by Bastille before running out of cola even having damage at his weakpoint in the process. That's a justification for stamina.
Vehicular Mastery he did every vehicle the Strawhats possess including the Sunny. He even ride those such as the Brachio Tank and he's the Franky Shogun's pilot.
Resistance to Gas Manipulation with Franky Shogun: The robot can also provide protection against any outside agents, as Franky used it to stand in the middle of a huge cloud of Caesar Clown's H2S gas completely unaffected.
Marksmanship: Though not at the same level as Usopp, Franky is an expert marksman, having great accuracy in using all the long range artillery he had built and installed into his body. On Fishman Island, Franky easily blasted down multiple fishmen with the cannons in his shoulders. At Dressrossa, he shot down numerous members of the Donquixote Pirates while attempting to break into the Toy House.
Brook
I edited this one before but it got deleted and I understand the reasons. Add Immortality Type 1 and Possibly Type 4 to his profile.
During Katakuri's fight Luffy recalled Rayleigh's word about 'The Flower/Blossom of Haki' and said that everytime he fights a strong enemy he'll become stronger. This could be related only to Haki but if this is the case then every Haki user should've Possibly Reactive Power Level. It's not Reactive Evolution since they aren't adapting to overcome something that threats them and it's not Accelerated Development because this relies on fighting strong opponents. We have seen this during the same fight where Luffy improved himself to the point he can now see several seconds in the future so Luffy should've Reactive Power Level and the rest of the cast the Possibly added.
In general
After reading Accelerated Development's page I noted this:
A good example of this is the jump between Water Seven and Enies Lobby. In the former even Luffy and Zoro couldn't lay a hand on the CP9 agents but when Enies Lobby was on its climax the Monster Trio kept up with the three strongest agents even in Base Form. To support this point: Luffy was totally outpaced by Blueno at Water Seven but when they fought in Enies Lobby Luffy outpaced his Soru even in Base Form. And even surpassed his Tekkai without any power up.
Luffy developt G2 and G3 between arcs but that doesn't justify the improvement in his Base form. The same goes to Zoro and Sanji. Those three are the best example of Accelerated Development but the same could go to other characters. But I'll make a case-by-case research to know who could get this ability.
This also explains the gap in tiers the characters got from East Blue to Grand Line which isn't small at all.
In other case I want to discuss about possible Limited Adaptation for the Strawhats. During Skypiea Gan Fall explained that people of the Blue Sea always have problems dealing with the atmosphere in the Sky Islands and the lack of oxygen on it. This was shown during Wiper's assault when the Monster Trio was defeated by the Shandian. But even then Zoro and Luffy said they were slowly adapting to it even when Gan Fall said that's impossible. This is something all the Strawhats did. All of them fought against someone at some point with no showings of physical restrains coming from the lack of oxygen.
Conclusions
I'll list the things I think it should be added.
Luffy:
Change justification of:
But in order to avoid making an even bigger CRT that I first intended to I'll stick to some general suggestions and those regarding the Strawhats. In the future I'll make more threads like this for other characters such as the Shichibukai and the Supernova. This is large enough without them.
I'll stick to the things some characters should have listed on their profiles.
Take a sit before start reading.
Luffy
First of all I want to say that Attack Reflection or at least limited should be listed. Luffy has bounced back bullets and cannonballs, and he can do this with any solid projectile strong enough. I've seen a profile where the same kind of Attack Reflection was listed but I don't remember whom.
During Crocodile's fight Luffy was affected by the Shichibukai's hook which had a very strong poison capable enough to melt rocks with just a little touch. Luffy's Limited Corrosion Inducement Resistance comes from this but I don't know if Limited is correct. He was totally unaffected by the corrosion despite he was bleeding from the wound Crocodile did with the hook. This is the original CRT.
- I've seen that some characters gets resistances to things if they are able to stand up and keep fighting even after being affected. If that's the case then Luffy's Poison Manipulation Resistance should be listed since Arabasta to Water Seven key. He fell on his knees after Crocodile's poison did effect but that didn't prevent him from standing up again. If this is correct Fishman Island key should say 'an even better Poison Manipulation Resistance' to explain the difference.
- I've seen an old thread talking about the required temperature Red Hawk should have to ignite underwater and I saw someone talking about lava cooling down fast while the Red Hawk didn't. Also, someone said that Luffy should've needed 2000C temperature in order to hold the fire on. Now this is doubtful since we see no shows of water being evaporated to get more oxygen.
- Other proof of it is the Gear Second. In this state Luffy's sweat evaporates which suggest a higher than 100C temperature from inside his body. And the weakness behind this is the accelerated calories use instead of the heat itself Luffy's body should be at that moment.
- Even more Luffy has resisted explosions that directly harm him but that doesn't melt him which should happen if his body were truly weak against fire.
- This is important because there's people who think that Luffy would melt from fire just because he's made of rubber which isn't the case. That's not a weakness.
One Piece Wikia states that during WCA Luffy only slept a few hours during the last days and he still managed to fight against Cracker, the Revenge Army and Katakuri. He took a beat from most of them, including Sanji when he wasn't defending at all. Now we have the Stamina justification with the 13 hours he fought Katakuri but the previous part it's also important since it gives the whole context.
This is from the Wikia:
- "He has immense healing capabilities and an extremely fast recovery rate. In Impel Down, when his natural healing abilities were boosted by Ivankov's healing hormones and further driven by his will, Luffy was able to not only survive the excessive dose of Magellan's deadly poison but also managed to overcome the poisoning within less than a day, a feat which Ivankov noted to be more than just a miracle."
- So what's that? Some kind of Regenerationn or healing? More stamina feats?
Also the OPW again has a big list of feats about his luck. While most of them aren't good feats I guess it's more than enough to add Supernatural Luck even if it's not combat applicable.
Zoro
There is the possibility of Zoro having Fear Manipulation after the Time Skip. During the fight with Monet Zoro cut her at half without using Haki but Zoro scared Monet so hard that she hardly could regenerate from the cut even if she wasn't damaged at all.
Such as Luffy, Zoro has this listed on his Wikia's profile:
- He also has exceptional healing capabilities, able to recover from the most brutal injuries within a fairly short period of time, as shown that despite he nearly died after absorbing Luffy's immense pain and fatigue from Kuma's Devil Fruit powers, Zoro regained consciousness and was capable of walking again after only a few days.
- The same goes with the wound Mihawk did on his chest. Johnny and Yosaku said that a wound like that'd take at least six months to heal but that timeframe didn't happened. During Loguetown Arc Zoro was in perfect conditions and that happened just a few days later.
During Kaku's fight Zoro was capable of use some kind of Aura when Asura came out for the first time. And during Wano Arc the Yokozuna said that Zoro emits a strange Aura. Haki is currently listed as Aura but apparently this isn't the same thing.
Nami
Genius Intelligence regarding weather. She knows how weather works and it's a proficient chemistry given the expertise she shows using her Clima Tact variations which are weapons that uses different elements. None of these elements are strong without Nami's knowledge.
Nami's Vehicular Master should be added. During Skypiea Arc she mastered the use of the Weaver. A vehicle that take years of practice and a vast knowledge about the seas. She did it almost instantaneously.
Stealth Mastery. She's a thief since young age and can pickpocket her victims without them noticing this. He did this to the people of his hometown and they noticed it when she shown what she had done.
Nami can't control the lightnings she uses and sometimes her allies could be involved in her attacks. That's a weakness missing on her profile.
After the upgrades made by Usopp and Franky her Sorcery Clima Tact can grow or decrease in length when different pressures are applied on it so this should be Limited Size Manipulation
Nami's stamina is also higher than Superhuman. Miss Doublefinger stabbed her several times but Nami kept fighting. The same thing happened during Enies Lobby Arc when she fought Kalifa. Nami can fight being injured and with serious blood loss.
Usopp
His stamina's description is also poor compared to feats. During his fight alongside Chopper against Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas he was hit in the face with a 4-ton metal bat and smashed through rock walls twice and even with his skull fractured he kept fighting and won. And he was fine during the rush when the Strawhats were looking for the bomb in Alubarna. And this is from the Wikia:
- "...also during the Water 7 arc, He endured physical abuse from the Franky Family twice while trying to retrieve the stolen money. After being beaten up, Usopp managed to focus enough stamina to fight Luffy and later endured attacks from CP9 and the marines in Enies Lobby. In Thriller Bark; Usopp is tough enough to withstand the detonation of Perona's exploding ghosts multiple times and a ruthless beating from Kumashi, a bear zombie with immense strength, without losing consciousness. While heavily injured, he can withstand using the Impact Dial to blast the Hippo zombie despite the excruciating backlash that nearly broke his arm. At Punk Hazard, when he was attacked by a giant child, Usopp got back up almost immediately and prepared to attack. He was then suffocated by Caesar Clown with his Gasu Gasu no Mi abilities before taking a direct attack from Caesar's "Gastanet" only to come out of the massive gas explosion with a few bruises."
In weaknessess it should be listed that his Impact Dial damages him if he uses it.
Sanji
Sanji's profile should reflect his actual ability in his fighting style. Skilled Martial Artist isn't enough to describe a character who has fought with mighty martial artist in the past such as Kuroobi (Fishman Karate), Bon Clay (Okama Kenpo), Wanze (Ramen Kenpo) and even Jabra who's a master of Rokushiki. Master Martial Artist should be listed instead. He even defeated the 99 Masters of Newkama Kenpo during his training.
Even if it's situational, Sanji has shown proficiency using knives as weapons against Wanze. He was trained during his childhood to use a sword but it's unknown if he's as good with swords as he is with knives.
This is directly quoted from the wikia:
- Sanji has an immense skills at sneaking, rivaling that of Nami and Robin. After leaving the Germa Kingdom at a tender age, he was able to avoid detection for 13 years. As an adult, Sanji's stealth skill was still prominent as he was the only Straw Hat to avoid detection from Baroque Works until the final battle in Alubarna. At Water 7, Sanji infiltrated the Puffing Tom right under the noses of CP9, who were masters of espionage and stealth. Even Rob Lucci exclaimed his amazement at this feat. Sanji also moved around the heavily guarded Whole Cake Chateau with no difficulty (avoiding detection from Pudding) and successfully broke into the infirmary to speak with his sister, Reiju, by tying up the guard.
Chopper
Change in his Statistics Amplification's justification: (His Devil Fruit increases his physical abilities, and he can further enhance his stats with various forms such as Guard Point and Arm Point).
During Whole Cake Arc Chopper used Monster Point when Big Mom was chasing the Thousand Sunny and he apparently overcame the strain the transformation puts on him because he was fine afterwards. Even then he used Monster Point in the Seducing Woods to beat the giant lizard and he didn't need time to rest so apparently this weakness is no longer applicable.
Regarding his intelligence it should be noted that Chopper has tactical skills (as seen against Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas) aswell combat applicable anatomy knowledge (as seen against Oars).
I don't know how to call this:
- Chopper also seems to have a technique called Anaesthesia (Ú║╗Úàö, Masui; Sedative, in the English manga), which involves Chopper injecting a substance, possibly an anesthetic, into the opponent's body making them faint. This was first used on Luffy when he had a hallucination of a tsunami about to hit them while walking to Yuba in the Arabasta Desert, and it was later used in order to stop a group of rampaging giant children on Punk Hazard, with some assistance from the G-5 Marines.
Robin's stamina should be updated. During Arabasta she handled many armed soldiers with her hands with no showings of fatigue and was stabbed by Crocodile and survived. During Skypiea she fought Yama and took several attacks from his Axe Dials just to protect the ruins and even then she stomped him at the moment they were far away from the ruins. He also protected Rebecca from Diamante's Death Enjambre being severely injured in the process.
Franky
His profile has something wrong: Statistics Amplification (Can increase his physical strength by drinking soda). Franky doesn't drink soda. He stores the cola within his stomach with the modifications he made.
Enhanced Senses: Franky seem to be born with great hearing, as he could hear the dwarves trying to open the SMILE factory door from a fairly long distance while been back slammed by Senior Pink.
Genius Intelligence regarding his engineer and shipwright skills.
Weapon Mastery while Franky doesn't use weapons as such his whole body is a weapon. He even uses fire weapons such as Weapons Left or Beans Left. Also he used a concrete-made nunchucks during Thriller Bark with some proficiency.
Transformation Franky Centaurus (just Pre TS).
Hair Manipulation boop his nose and wait. Not combat applicable.
Better Fire Manipulation after TS (was shown stronger than the Pre TS attack).
During Dressrosa he fought Senor Pink in a heated battle, also he fought Machvise, Dellinger and the marines leaded by Bastille before running out of cola even having damage at his weakpoint in the process. That's a justification for stamina.
Vehicular Mastery he did every vehicle the Strawhats possess including the Sunny. He even ride those such as the Brachio Tank and he's the Franky Shogun's pilot.
Resistance to Gas Manipulation with Franky Shogun: The robot can also provide protection against any outside agents, as Franky used it to stand in the middle of a huge cloud of Caesar Clown's H2S gas completely unaffected.
Marksmanship: Though not at the same level as Usopp, Franky is an expert marksman, having great accuracy in using all the long range artillery he had built and installed into his body. On Fishman Island, Franky easily blasted down multiple fishmen with the cannons in his shoulders. At Dressrossa, he shot down numerous members of the Donquixote Pirates while attempting to break into the Toy House.
Brook
I edited this one before but it got deleted and I understand the reasons. Add Immortality Type 1 and Possibly Type 4 to his profile.
- Brook has been living for an unknown quantity of years after his soul made it back to his body. It's at least five years (the timeframe between his shadow was taken away by Moriah and his encounter with the Strawhats) with no food and his skeleton didn't suffered major age damage even if it's dead. I think that's enough for Type 1.
- Type 4 is hypothetical. His DF is the Reincarnation fruit so there's the possibility that he could resurrect once again if he's somehow killed. Again, this is hypothetical.
During Katakuri's fight Luffy recalled Rayleigh's word about 'The Flower/Blossom of Haki' and said that everytime he fights a strong enemy he'll become stronger. This could be related only to Haki but if this is the case then every Haki user should've Possibly Reactive Power Level. It's not Reactive Evolution since they aren't adapting to overcome something that threats them and it's not Accelerated Development because this relies on fighting strong opponents. We have seen this during the same fight where Luffy improved himself to the point he can now see several seconds in the future so Luffy should've Reactive Power Level and the rest of the cast the Possibly added.
In general
After reading Accelerated Development's page I noted this:
- Passive: The character can train by doing either nothing in particular, only everyday activities or things that he can constantly do at the side during everyday life.
A good example of this is the jump between Water Seven and Enies Lobby. In the former even Luffy and Zoro couldn't lay a hand on the CP9 agents but when Enies Lobby was on its climax the Monster Trio kept up with the three strongest agents even in Base Form. To support this point: Luffy was totally outpaced by Blueno at Water Seven but when they fought in Enies Lobby Luffy outpaced his Soru even in Base Form. And even surpassed his Tekkai without any power up.
Luffy developt G2 and G3 between arcs but that doesn't justify the improvement in his Base form. The same goes to Zoro and Sanji. Those three are the best example of Accelerated Development but the same could go to other characters. But I'll make a case-by-case research to know who could get this ability.
This also explains the gap in tiers the characters got from East Blue to Grand Line which isn't small at all.
In other case I want to discuss about possible Limited Adaptation for the Strawhats. During Skypiea Gan Fall explained that people of the Blue Sea always have problems dealing with the atmosphere in the Sky Islands and the lack of oxygen on it. This was shown during Wiper's assault when the Monster Trio was defeated by the Shandian. But even then Zoro and Luffy said they were slowly adapting to it even when Gan Fall said that's impossible. This is something all the Strawhats did. All of them fought against someone at some point with no showings of physical restrains coming from the lack of oxygen.
Conclusions
I'll list the things I think it should be added.
Luffy:
- Attack Reflection.
- Fire Manipulation Resistance (for Arabasta to Water Seven key and growing stronger with more feats).
- Poison Manipulation Resistance.
- Corrosion Inducement Resistance.
- Update the Enhanced Senses or add Extrasensory Perception with the ability to 'hear the voice of all things'. This would need a modification in Haki's page since there's no proof enough to relate this ability to Haki.
- Some modifications to his stamina's section.
- Add a possibly Supernatural Luck.
- Add Hipnosis as a weakness.
- Possibly Healing or Mid Low Regen (not combat applicable since it tooks time to work). Both Luffy and Zoro have healed from that kind of damage faster than regular people but it takes time to work.
- Fear Manipulation.
- Possible healing or regen. (Mid Low overtime)
- Extrasensory Perception.
- Aura with Asura.
- Add Genius Intelligence.
- Vehicular Mastery.
- Stealth Mastery.
- Lightning weakness (friendly fire).
- Limited Size Manipulation (for her weapon).
- Add a justification for her stamina.
- Add a stamina justification.
- Add Shockwave Generation and Durability Negation to Usopp via Impact Dial.
- Add Impact Dial's weakness.
- Change from Skilled to Master Martial Artist.
- Weapon Mastery (with knives and likely swords).
- Stealth Mastery.
- Enhanced Fire Manipulation and Rage Power.
Change justification of:
- Statistics Amplification.
- Post Time Skip Monster Point weakness.
- Intelligence.
- Change stamina.
- Little change on his Statistics Amplification justification.
- Enhanced Senses.
- Genius Intelligence.
- Weapon Mastery.
- Transformation.
- Hair Manipulation.
- Better Fire Manipulation than before.
- Add a stamina justification and the upgrade.
- Vehicular Mastery.
- Resistance to Gas Manipulation with Franky Shogun.
- Proficient Marksman.
- Add Type 1 and Possibly Type 4 to his immortality.
- Add Possibly Reactive Power Level to every Haki user and plain Reactive Power Level to Luffy since he explicitly shown the capability. Experimented users should have a Likely instead of a Possibly starting with Rayleigh who's the man that explained this so he knows the concept and likely has it.
- Add Accelerated Development to the Monster Trio.
- Add Limited Adaptation to every Strawhat but Franky and Brook (they didn't went Skypiea).
