TheKingofSprings posted:Not sure it’s a coincidence that the one time Luffy pretty definitively killed somebody he was in G5 I mean with how insanely durable Kaido was I don’t think winning the fight via K.O. was ever much of an option. Anything less than melting him in molten lava and he woulda gotten back up, chugged a bottle of sake, and went back to swinging.

it really feels like the arc just took a turn to traditional fights with the vice admirals who already got headshots now getting name panels as luffy says hes not letting these two get away

I think this arc is wrapping up sooner rather than later.

Yeah I think the Vice Admiral boss title was less of an intro into fights and more of a reestablishing Dorry and Brogy are very, very strong thing because he gets very casually one shotted.

I think it's also because we'll probably be seeing a lot of stuff through their eyes and it'd be weird to not know their names.

I wonder if Saul's former subordinate is tagging along to Elbaf, or if Oda's just setting up for the final battle with the WG. She's one of the new members of SWORD we were in introduced to, right?

No Wave posted:Just how strong is Mr 3???? Yeah, there's a bit of a Lord of the Coast-style power level discrepancy there. Though I guess the discrepancy was already there back in Little Garden to an extent; the way they wrecked the giant goldfish at the end of the arc was somewhat beyond their performance prior to that. Maybe they're just stronger when fighting alongside each other instead of against each other? Edit: Also, they probably have better weapons now; the ones they used back in Little Garden were explicitly worn down. Plus they might have gotten stronger over the time skip due to facing difficult enemies or something. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Feb 23, 2024 |

Blackbeard’s crew are kinda like a parallel version of Luffy’s in that most of them are iirc slightly to way taller than him, only Blackbeard himself is well over seven feet tall so except for Laffte they’re all bigger than you’d expect, even Doc Q and Stronger.

PuttyKnife posted:What if Rocks was the last guy who ran around screaming Gum Gum? This has a similar problem to the old theory about Roger having the Gum Gum Fruit. I feel like if Xebec had the same DF as Luffy, someone would have mentioned it. Xebec isn't as well-known as Roger, but Big Mom, Kaidou, Whitebeard, and Shiki were all members of the Rocks Pirates, while Rayleigh and Garp fought against them. None of them commented on Luffy's Devil Fruit being familiar to them. Quite the opposite: Shiki underestimates Luffy (although Strong World's canonicity is questionable), while Kaidou is surprised by Luffy's powers not actually behaving much like rubber.

Maybe they're just stronger when fighting alongside each other instead of against each other? Also not tired anymore from continuously fighting each other for 100 years? Training hard and then resting is a pretty consistent way to have a peak performance

on little garden, dorry and brogy got exploded from the inside and then restrained while they couldn't move. it's not like mr. 3 sauntered up to them and openly picked a fight.

I agree that they were clearly stronger than Mr. 3 in a straight fight even back then. But I can't see Mr. 3 taking out, say, pre-timeskip Rob Lucci no matter how underhanded his tactics, and taking out a Vice Admiral that easily implies that they're above that level now.

That's because Lucci is a vicious assassin who is also very smart. The whole point of Mr 3 in that arc is that raw strength isn't the only thing that matters. Mr 3 is stronger than the vice admiral that got flattened the same way that Puck is stronger than Guts

i think that mr. 3 could probably restrain most non-logias if he got them while they were incapacitated. perospero could probably do the same thing, though likely without mr. 3's resistance to poison. but this is even more true of seastone, which no one has been capable of breaking yet.

Maybe they are the jobber unit Makes sense tbh, pre time skip, they were the "oh poo poo we're in trouble" dudes, just one step below admiral, post time skip, they're roughly on par with the crew now. That would naturally lead itself to us knowing more of them. We don't need to know the name of every private in the navy because they wouldn't last a second against anyone on the crew anymore.

Yeah, and for good reason imo. Mr. 3 got Dorry to swallow explosives, who was still strong enough afterwards to drag a gigantic skull onto Luffy before fighting and losing to Broggy. Then Mr. 3 swooped in and trapped Broggy in wax while he was overcome with emotion. Neither giant had a chance to show what they could do before Mr. 3 disabled them.
