General & Others A huge Yonko War Arc with a crew worth of Zoan users, yet none is awakened.

[Ballel]

Exactly.
Croc's fruit natural aplications are already similar to a paramecia awakening.
Suna Suna no Mi>>>>>>all.
Secret OP power.

Crocodile>Doffy

 

[Twin Milf]

Perhaps him stopping the rain, he can absorb water with his hand, but apply that on environment so it always stays dry, might have been awakening, the moment he got defeated it started to rain again.

Weren't those the effects of the Dance Powder?

Weren't those the effects of the Dance Powder?

I forgot tbh my memory is blurry, I was just trying to make sense how convenient it was that it started to rain the moment he was defeated, and him absorbing water with his hand.

 

[Roo]

Crocodile being awakened in Alabasta would mean his DF is pretty weak considering he literally went there to strengthen his powers and had to use dance powder to dry the land

 

[Ballel]

I think I only had a sense of "invincibility" from two groups of enemies during the entire One Piece story.
Enel's priests and the CP9.
Mantra was just so fucking broken. And the Cp9 during Water7 and the Sea train? Damn. I was like "HOW THE FUCK ARE WE BEATING THESE FUCKERS???".
Good times.

I was like 12 when I watched Skypiea.
Had I been a few years younger Enel's priests would have legit scared me. Their and Enel's whole concept was just so menacing.
I still have bias for Enel as one of my fav villains even tho he might actually not be that strong compared to some post ts villains.

So who is this "we" that Kaido was talking about when Zoan Awakening was brought up by him?

I'm not sure which scene in which translation focuses on "we" but I'm pretty sure I don't have the answer, so I'm not just gonna make one up

@Twin Milf did a quick check, was 100% off lol, forget about it @Doggo

I think it was more of a thematic effect highlighting Crocodile's defeat
Also I vaguely remember that the Marines found a boat spraying Dance Powder all over Alabasta at the same time Luffy was beating Crocodile last round

 

[Steven]

Oda will say in a SBS that the Magma Dragon was his awakening...

That’s probably going to be retconned to the Nefertari having the power to summon rain which is why alubarna never suffered a drought.

I only analyze the threat of a villain based on the point of the story he's in. Doesn't make sense to not do it like this.
Enel was a legit "God" that no one could deal with.
At best we had Wiper using a reject dial on him while using Kairouseki boots. Dude managed to REVIVE himself by turning himself into a defibrillator. That was so cool.
Having Luffy being a "natural counter" was a given, since it wasn't OUT OF NOWHERE that Luffy was Rubber. He was since the beginning.
Oh yeah. Not "rubber". Just a "rubber-like" body. My, how could I have made such a silly mistake?

Poetic license.

I can understand how CP9 felt invincible during W7 (their performance on Enies Lobby is another story except for Lucci IMO) but Enel's priests? Really?
Not trying to talk shit here seriously, I unironically don't remember any scene with them giving "oh shit" vibes during Skypiea to me

When this scene happened my jaw dropped.
Wiper put in so much effort and then we see him so desperate he just dropped on his knees.
Thats when I though OMG HOW WILL THEY EVER DEFEAT THIS GUY HE'S INVINCIBLE.

I agree, only Ohm felt like a mortal threat amongst the priests but the others while quite a threat never felt "invincible", especially Gedatsu.

I mean they were literally calling out and dodging everything.

Satori was a badass

Yeah Ohm and his dog were really the only ones who seemed like they meant business to me lol

Seriously. Mantra was completely broken.

Needed Sanji+Luffy+Usopp to deal with BallPriest, Shura required some sneak attack from Wiper, Ohm was a big deal for Zoro who had to learn how to combine his ability to cut steel to cut the Iron Clouds, but also how to attack at range, since he just barely could get close to him.
That was a time when Mantra, or CoO, was actually useful and not something that OCASSIONALY people use to dodge. Only character post-TS who made use of CoO as intended was Katakuri.

That huge ass dog scared the crap out of me despite the comedy.
It was just disturbing af to see a several meter high dog
