Luffy vs Daz Bonez

Luffy since he broke Crocodile's desert blade with nothing but his fist. Desert blade>>>>everything daz bones have. He also fought bloodlusted Zoro back in Whiskey Peak
 
This seems like a tough fight.

Daz Bonez is a Fullbody Bladed Human, which allows him to resist attacks from blades and blunt weaponry. This should allow him resistance to those of punches and kicks as well. While Daz Bonez should be the physically weaker of the two in terms of strength, his defense will allow him to resist much of Luffy's attacks, while the same cannot be said vice versa.

Also Luffy has to watch where he punch lest he gets him hurt by trying to punch through Daz Bonez steel bladed body. Though Luffy has the option to stop his attacks prematurely with his instincts if he feel like he should stop his attack, similar to what he did against Crocodile or grit his teeth and punch through regardless to harm Daz similar to what he did Krieg at the cost of maiming himself.
 
Considering that Luffy has been able to break steel with his bare hands and that Luffy is stronger than Bonez, he wouldn't have as much problems as Zoro had to overcome his defenses.
 
Going to go with Daz Bones although Luffy has broken steel before we should know there are different levels of steel and their hardness varies; in somes cases steel in one piece is treated like stuff to be broken through and other cases like Daz Bones where he seems to be indestructible unless you have some sort of skill. For example: - Daz Bonez being able to block a slash from Mihawk even when apparently his body was weaker. - Luffy in wano training to punch steel even though he should be far above it at this point.

So because of this Daz should take it eventually.
 
Not that I think Daz is above Croc or Luffy in strength, it's just a poor match up at the time since similar to Kaido it seems you either need an ability that ignores the strength of his fruit or some kind of haki.
 
Steel is hard to deal with for swordsmen in One Piece. They have Haki to cut through it with ease and the reason why Bonez blocked a slash from Mihawk is that but it's also a huge outlier.

Luffy in Wano was training Goken, not to break steel. He was using the steel to break it from the insides, not that he can't do it with sheer strength.

Otherwise, Golden Rifle would be Mastered Busoshoku Haki display :p for breaking the golden ball.
 
Well steel isn't gold and is hardee but then again diamond isn't nearly as hard to break like in one piece. Daz did block a kick from bon clay which is why hes resistant to blunt force as well.
 
Gold is like two times denser than steel.

Luffy dented steel with his teeth back in Buggy arc.

Imagine Luffy noming Bonez. He'd end up chomping his head off.
 
Not saying that Luffy can't break steel or whatever but it's pretty clear that Daz' devil fruit's steel seems to be a cut above the rest in the show (similar to Luffy's rubber) just don't see Luffy harming Daz when the gap is that small.
 
Steel and diamond are shown to be harder to damage than they should be, I'm starting to think this is due to it being a devil fruit power similar to Luffy's rubber.
 
There's no implication in-verse, however. Zoro had the same problem from BoS.

And Daz is backscaling. He doesn't scale to the feat directly.
 
I don't think there will be enough of the difference to justify it. Again Luffy's own resistance goes incredibly high up and there isn't really any reason to assume Daz is an exception.
 
Not saying Daz Bonez steel resistance = level of Luffy's because both are devil fruits, more so saying we shouldn't base Daz resistance off regular steel like we wouldn't with Luffy's rubber.
 
Yet Luffy's resistance is circumvented against considerably stronger opponents.

Daz has no reasons to scale to Luffy outside of harming Zoro, and in fact, the only reason why Zoro didn't one-shot him was because of his fruit's resistance.

During the fight, Zoro was outpacing and attacking Bonez more than Bonez could attack Zoro, yet the moment when Zoro could cut him he one-shot him.
 
Yeah Daz still scales to Zoro in AP tho considering he was able to cut through Zoro will no real difficultly, considering this the difference shouldn't between Zoro Luffy and Daz shouldn't be high enough to deem his resistance void.

Daz is definitely weaker than Zoro and Luffy and speed wise decently lower but his resistance overall should allow him to avoid damage and I'm assuming his stamina is high enough to wear down Luffy (purely based off his profile)

I don't think think we can call Daz's blocking of Mihawk an outlier as resistance feats don't require scaling; for example Luffy scales in the island range for electricity resistance. And he lost due to a techniques functionality not due to his AP being overpowered at any point.
 
Daz backscales from Zoro, Zoro backscales from Luffy.

Oh, right. Speed isn't equal. So Luffy holds a significant speed advantage to the point where he'd wear down the resistance much faster.

Daz' resistance to blunt weaponry has no feats to put it as high to no-sell Luffy's attacks. In fact, the only reason why he has that it's because he blocked some bullets and not a physical attack from someone comparable.

Luffy can basically break his skin just like he did to the Kiribachi.
 
Luffy's and other devil fruit users resistance don't wear out after getting hits, the only evidence would be Buggy and that is only a statement where he was being cowardly.

Daz resistance comes from the fact his body is steel his resistance should scale to his cutting resistance similar to his blunt resistance; sword slashes also give blunt damage albeit lower due to their mass.

Could you give a proper difference in power between Zoro and Luffy? The storm attack obvious but for the most part based off their profiles it doesn't seem huge enough for Luffy to break him like any normal steel.
 
I didn't say the resistance wears down. It's just that Bonez' doesn't have feats on his level.

Zoro had problems with steel since the very beginning of the series. He couldn't cut Luffy's cage but Luffy bit it and damaged the bars. Zoro couldn't dent Arlong's nose with his swords and Luffy bent it. He also destroyed the Kiribachi's sharp with his fingers and Krieg's Battle Spear.

Steel is a problem for swordsmen in OP, but physical fighters have a much easier time breaking through it.

Now it's my turn. Prove me that Daz has a resistance to blunt Force on his level.

That aside that Luffy has handled lethal assassin (Kuro), someone with a metallic armor (Krieg) and can BFR if he feels like it.
 
Fair enough, truth be told I was scaling him due to Bon Clay's Kick, but until he has shown feats for his blunt force resistance I suppose it's fair to say he can't scale.
 
Although I do still disagree with using regular steel feats to scale to Daz who already on his own has higher durability; i.e it would be the same as saying "Luffy loses to usopp because he has a rubber band and can probably snap it" (although Luffy has feats to back up his blunt resist I'm just saying we shouldn't compare natural element = devil fruit element)
