Fire Force is like 17 volumes long and Tamaki trips and falls out of her outfit like 5 times. Were you thinking it was the central plot of the story or something?

good opinion: logias, in general, were bad ideas because they're too ill defined abilities and the powers are too vague for us to tell for when the users are getting fatigued and required the creations of an entire power system that contradicts the beginning like 340 chapters to even remotely combat

Logia users are so infrequent already, and Haki has been decently balanced around Logias while having applicable uses outside of those fights. Even if I had Haki, I would not want to punch or get close to the man who's made out of molten lava because nobodies shown the level of mastery to be able to coat their entire body for long enough periods of time to fight that. You've still got to be creative, this isn't just DBZ power levels

I respectfully disagree on the ill defined abilities thing since, like, that’s the entire series writ large, and it doesn’t even extend to devil fruits anymore. Like, Zoro can make mini twisters with his swords that pursue his enemies, and that’s one of the moves that he can use with no swords too, so he’s just punching a death tornado into existence in that one movie.

Logias had a good run for early villains, where Crocodile and Enel were completely invincible until Luffy discovered (or was naturally) their weakness and found a way to punch them. Once Kuzan appeared though we were digging a hole where every big bad had to be some sort of Logia. I think Oda did a good job introducing totally broken powers like Ice/Light/Poison/Magma in the same arcs where Haki was introduced as a way to combat them. Logias are cool and they're on a level playing field now that it's established that Luffy can just punch everything, and it lets more interesting powers like Big Mom and Kaido become credible threats. Also the title of most 'zero fatigue' power actually goes to paramecia user Cracker who casually claps his hands to create dozens of cookie golems that are on par with Luffy..

Someone's made a quick and dirty english translation. Looks like it has some differences with the french translation so here's my own if you want a second comparison. To be clear, mine is also quick and dirty and there are some expressions I didn't bother smoothing out but it takes less liberties than the other one.

That battle was insane in so many ways, but it actually made a point of Cracker’s fatigue vs Luffy’s appetite, its just that both of those were drat near endless.

what i mean by ill defined (i'm sorry i dont know how to say this well so im gonna have to use a lot of words for a simplish concept) is that like, ace for example can do a billion attacks of big fireball fists (or a more extreme example is katakuri) and it seemingly "costs" them nothing. meanwhile luffy has a almost clear stamina cost every time he does something. logia hits kinda just "happen", at least from my perspective, whereas zoan and paramecia powers feel more "real"
