Boa Hancock VS Gunvolt

For intangibility Hancock should be able to bypass it with haki since it's elemental intangibility. As for anything else I'll wait for more input before voting.
 
Boa isn't going to be petrifying Gunvolt with her passive ability. Not only because of his resistance (Which still leaves him vunerable for a short time, mind you), but because Gunvolt is completely oblivious to love. He literally read a female friend's diary, which was almost entirely about him, and was confused more than anything.

Gunvolt's also delt with basically everything Boa has. Elise has Petrification, Viper has Danmaku, etc...

Both have a large amount of combat experience, but Gunvolt has better formal training and less arrogance. Not to mention, Gunvolt likes to play a long ranged game, so Boa's superior hand-to-hand combat experience isn't very useful.
 
Passive would be prevented by resistance (although if that leaves him vulnerable I'd like some more context on it) but not being oblivious to love. It worked on cannon balls, robots and snails it will work on him.
 
Boa has two ways to petrify people. Passively, she petrifies anyone who's lustful for her. She can use a certain attack to petrify with projectiles from a distance, reguardless of lust. That's how she petrified a cannonball. The passive won't work on GV. She can also petrify by touch, but she only petrifies the specific area she touches.

It takes a few seconds for GV to break out of Elise's petrification.
 
Gunvolt resists petrification yeah, he should take this, he has an advantage in almost everything and is only losing in CQC
 
The petrified area is also cracked up from the Force behind the kick. Does Gunvolt regenerate or smth?

Nothing like entire limbs, iirc, though he can regenerate health (Galvanic Patch/Galvanic Renewal) and resurrect with Anthem, but that's restricted.
 
For those who are wondering, that's not related to his healing abilities but is actual regen, as described in one of the second game's conversations.

"My Septima doesn't just throw lightning around. It uses current to stimulate my natural healing ability. Something like this will heal up in no time."

Honestly, this is probably just Low, but I haven't bothered to make a CRT yet. The wound in question made another character worry about him, but GV himself described it as a scratch. We never see the wound, however.
 
So it seems to be useless against losing part of your body, flesh and bone from a kick.

And if GV recovers from the petrification once, Hancock will try to smash him next time to prevent that from happening again.
 
But at the same time, Gunvolt would do everything he can to prevent that from happening. Even when turned into stone, Gunvolt can take several hits from foes on his level without showing any outward signs of damage.
 
I still can't believe I've actually made a decent/good (depends on your interpretation) Hancock thread.
 
Those characters shouldn't scale to the stone durability or the petrification doesn't affect GV's dura, if anything. Hancock shatters the stone by kicking it, because it lowers the target's durability to that of stone, seeing how easily she can apply this to even Pacifistas who can take kicks from Sanji.

GV would lose a limb or even the head if Hancock lands a kick, crippling him and hindering his battle performance due to losing a vital part of his body.
 
Calaca is right. Also wouldn't slave arrow work? If his resistance is temporary (like I'm getting the impression off from this thread) then it being a stream of constant arrows eventually Gunvolt would be hit and turned to atone completely.
 
Gunvolt takes a few second to break from petrification, but there's no limit to how many times he can do it.

Also, Gunvolt's prevasion turns him into subatomic particles. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's better than any elemental intangiblity that Haki has granted.
 
well in that case I'll vote Hancock via slave arrow (Danmaku); it doesn't require lust as it worked on cannon balls and can cover far more of the body than her physical strikes can; since it's a massive stream it should give Hancock the time to move in close and strike him while he's stone; and even if she doesn't make it in time she's in close enough range where she can spam physical blows which will turn him into stone allowing her to break his limbs or head.

I added this later so you may have missed it
 
I see.

Still, Gunvolt, while petrified, can take attacks on his level (Albeit he takes much more damage from them). I don't see why we shouldn't consider that, I doubt Elise's petrification would make more durable stone than Boa's.
 
Still, Hancock can shatter the stone with her kicks, meaning that she's lowering the durability.

If AS characters can't do that, then is either PIS or an inconsistency with their tier.
 
All since it's haki based. She's shown the abilitity to use haki in her projectiles when she harmed Luffy with a pistol kiss.
 
Can I see her danmaku in action? GV has delt with Danmaku before, after all. Said Danmaku seems to be her main wincon.
 
Gunvolt is trained in Chatan-Yara Kusanku (A form of Karate), so he could probably block a few attacks, even if his Striking Strength dosn't let him deal damage physically. This gives him more than enough time to use his "get off me" tools like Crashbolt, Dragonsphere, Astrasphere, or Luxcaliber. Going for physical combat is probably the worst thing Boa can do, espesially with GV's ~2.45x AP advantage

How in character is it for Boa to use Slave Arrow?
 
If he tries to block them he will be turned to stone. In marineford the moves she most used were slave arrow followed by perfume femeru(or whatever it's called).
 
blocking them would still tun portions of his body to stone which in turn would crumble his original body even if he can undo the petrification in a few seconds.
 
That'd be a terrible decision. He could lose a limb from blocking.

Hancock is quite above the feat she scales to.

Moriah shatters Thriller Bark, Luffy damages him with Gear 2nd, Smoker smacks Luffy and best him (using Kairoseki in the end but he hit him with the jutte without using the tip first), and Hancock threw him away with a single kick.

Or use the Pacifista route, where Sanji had to resort to Diable Jambe alongside Zoro and Gear 2nd Luffy to perform notable damage to a Pacifista whereas Hancock could easily kick one (using her powers but still) and put it out of functions.

That added to Hancock's Haki which will make the AP advantage null.
