He's got at least observation haki, an op logia, a robot army, and an unknown extra powerup from two years of chasing his dreams. So yeah, probably.

I will forever laugh that Doflamingo straight up said,"Unlike everybody else I will not underestimate Strawhat Luffy, I have seen what he can do and so I have taken measures to ensure even his unpredictable nature can be taken into account and neutralized :c00l:" and then Luffy topples his kingdom in a single day :lol:

Absolutely.

If he never got beat by Luffy probably not; like I 100% think he had the stats for it but he was so full of himself and relied entirely on his logia's intangibility. He likely would have rolled into the New World acting like hot poo poo and then got leveled by the first person with armament haki after talking a bunch of poo poo about his invincibility. But legitimately he has a lot more benefits going into the NW than most people, he has a high tier logia and high level observation haki which is more than a lot of people.

I honestly think it's all down to what you want to do in the New World. Like half the Straw Hats don't have any obvious haki but they are still hanging, they are just not trying to be big names on their own. Solid armament haki is probably absolutely necessary if you want to be one of the top 3 hitters in some Emperor's or prominent captain's crew, but it's not like every rando has it. If Enel did no training or self reflecting during the time skip and showed up in the New World he could probably still team up with one of the Supernovas or join up as a mid-to-high tier lieutenant of an Emperor. If he trained to use his observation haki in combination with his logia to zap around and dodge armament attacks that's basically already what Katakuri was doing, if he does anything else like gains some of his own armament or works to awaken his fruit he could be extremely dangerous.

doflamingo probably could have won pretty easily if he had sent sugar to take care of luffy immediately instead of dragging it out at the tournament. sugar was ridiculous.

Add a second keel and hull, so that your fruit-ship is actually a passenger of another ship.

You guys are really over thinking the issue. Just lather a hydrophobic paint on the hull and it will never technically be in the water.

Wano isn't the last one; the last one is the world and fighting the oppressive World Government.

I called the Troubled Kingdom Arcs “fairy tale oppression” because they all have a similar fantasy structure that, like scary ghost dog said, feel like they’re mirroring or commenting on irl conflicts.

scary ghost dog posted:

ive thought really hard about his “fairy tale oppression” arcs, and the conclusion i drew is that all of the conflicts that have ever been portrayed in One Piece are just clean translations of actual things that happened IRL with one or more big details reversed or inverted

(I’d be curious to know more about those takes tho)

The Strawhats vs. World Government storyline is more complicated than that to me; like Sabaody through Marineford, the current arc is much more focused on One Piece’s complex lore/cast/worldbuilding instead of the more straightforwardly allegorical arcs like Wano, Skypiea, etc., where a lot of the focus gets spent on developing the arc-specific characters and countries.

It’s pretty arbitrary, maybe? But I do think things going forward are different. How many characters we’ve never met before are realistically going to be introduced between now and the conclusion, for example?

That’s why I’m a little sad to see the end of Wano. I don’t think Oda has time to introduce us to another charming fairy tale kingdom in trouble. And I really like his charming fairy tale kingdoms tbh.

If you feed a ship a fruit, and then replace, say, the mast, does the new mast inherit the powers? does the old mast have any powers now? what if you replace everything piece by piece? does the ship still have the same devil fruit power?

Technically the ship doesn't eat the fruit, the Klabautermann does.
