Luffy has a very compromised life span already due to Ivankov's hormone injections. Chopper is going to cure Kaidou of the sickness that is life  ...also Big Mam of her diabetes.

Don't they make a point of showing that the teeth by themselves are useless, and it's Arlong's jaw strength that made him so good at biting things?

i know its coming but awakening is going to be dumb as poo poo. i didn't mind it for zoan fruits because it seemed to be a strength for intelligence trade off but turning things around you into your fruit is bad and fail if its not a logia or one of the few logia like paramecia fruits

I'm looking forward to the inevitable jokes where he transforms the deck of the Sunny in to a bouncy castle to amuse Bropper and Usopp, but annoys the heck out of Zoro and Nami.

I'll reserve judgement on devil fruit awakening until we see more examples of it. The Doffy fight was sort of a bad spot to (re)introduce it because it was yet another Doffy trump card out of nowhere when a lot of people had gotten tired of them several fakeouts ago. I can see the potential for comedy and utility with Luffy's fruit, but I don't know how it'd work with other fruits. Since Zoan and Paramecia fruits have different awakening effects, maybe a Logia awakening is what allows them to resist haki attacks like Aokiji and Akainu did at Marineford? One thing I do hope to see is Chopper's monster form being acknowledged as an awakened form, being able to unlock it with the power of  would make him look pretty competent for once.

im ok with "big bad attack wins after long struggle" if one char is shown to be more powerful but less clever (luffy vs enel for example). i really hated zoro vs pica for the same reason. if he just attacked him after finding him over the "behold my haki is more powerful" "nuh uh mine is" then that would have been way better.

For me the only problem with that fight was the endless running around. I know it was a vehicle to show the other things going on but I don't think it was effective. The whole sequence where he cuts Pica into smaller chunks was really good.

I don't like Luffy's awakening will manifest the same way as Doffy's.

You guys do realize there is a chance that Luffy won't awaken at all, right? I mean, it's likely he will, but there could be serious repercussions to doing so, especially since we don't know the processes involved in awakening a devil fruit.

A shounen hero not taking a powerup that should be available to him? That just means he'll get a completely different (and better) powerup, mind.

One Piece will in fact be a treasure chest with a spring-loaded, disease tipped needle and a note saying "The greatest treasure is living life to the fullest! I made my last year the best of my life, now it's your turn! PS: Please reset this trap and tell everyone to do this all again when they go to chop your head off."

Terror Sweat posted:this is why usopp fights are always the best Agreed I like One Piece fights best the more unusual they are - that's what eccentric combatants and freaky abilities are for. And the fights with silly circumstances are great for the same reason, just because everybody has to think around that somehow. Usopp ONLY has fights like that  That makes fights with straight-up power spam all the worse, because they seem so arbritary, lazy and ultimately unearned. That's totally fine for quick cutaway fights, because those fit well in the giant chaotic battle scenes One Piece does so well; it's very disappointing with long, drawn-out fights with established villains, which SHOULD be interesting, but come across as generic and uninspired.Doflamingo is pretty much the worst offender, if you ask me. Introduced as a nasty puppetmaster dude; winds up as ultra-strong brawler dude with an utterly random array of bullshit powers because Plot Says So and Probably Haki. Man, you could do SO MUCH with a literal puppeteering power, but NAH. Haki time all the time Make the important fights sillier, I say. Make them all silly, no exceptions ever

Doflamingo was a warlord though, and one of the higher bounty ones at that. It would have been far stupider if he wasn't a certain level of power, especially after finding out that he pretty much clawed his way up from nothing. I'd say the pacing of the fight itself wasn't great, but that's because Dressrosa's pacing was proper hosed from trying to do too much, even saying this as someone who liked Kyros in every form.

Bounties are not power levels, and power is more than just physical strength. Doflamingo was supposed to be untouchable because of his knowledge on Celestial Dragon secrets that allowed him to blackmail them, and his charisma which allowed him to gather strong subordinates who would stop anyone from even approaching him. He was all about manipulation, intelligence and ruthlessness, and his ability complemented that. Doflamingo would have worked far better as a glass cannon type of villain, where the main challenge of the fight would be working around his ability in order to be able to land a hit on him in the first place. His battle against Law and Luffy started off like that, and frankly I would have been satisfied if he had been defeated by something similar to the Shambles trick that let Luffy land the first hit on him. Obviously it would have needed more dramatic buildup, but I think Oda could have managed it and it would have made much more sense for Doffy's character than making him practically Luffy's equal in physical strength. Giving him a brawler's physique along with his overpowered ability made him more boring and undermined a lot of the "how is Luffy ever gonna beat HIM?  " hype that Oda had been building up over the years.

Doffy trained his power and haki up to insane levels and was able to literally hold himself together to keep fighting long after he realistically should have stayed down. The only way for Luffy to win was to put him out of commission long enough for someone to get seastone on him, and that's exactly how the fight was finally resolved. We probably could have done without the whole "10 minutes to recharge my haki" though. Looking back on it, that's the part that feels like pure padding to me.

I felt it was less padding and more establishing a weakness for Gear 4. It's what provides a lot of the tension in the current Luffy vs. Cracker fight.

I don't think you need to 'look back' for that; everyone was complaining at the transparent attempt at stretching things out back when it was occurred.
