Questions & Mysteries Did Luffy defeat Aokiji and garp

#41
did zoro defeat kuma?
None of the dialogue is the same at all. Look at the wagers set

And the outcomes

And tell me how any of it is the same. You think it's the same but Luffy said he lost and Aokiji claimed the victory. Where did that happen with Kuma and Zoro?

they both honored zoro and luffys request that is why robin and the sh are still alive

Luffy's request was to fight. Zoro's request was to die in place of Luffy. If Luffy said "try to kill me in exchange for Robin" and survived the killing blow, then it would be the same.

Didn't happen. Aokiji says "I won, but..."

Situation doesn't need to be the same
The claim was Kuma's objective was to capture SH's he didn't achieve it therefore Zoro won
Here Aokiji tried to Kill Robin and SH's he failed so Luffy won

It's a simple question did Kuma succeed in capturing Luffy? The answer is no. He failed because of Zoro
kumas objective was to capture them and failed
zoro didnt bested him in combat that s all
zoro won and the crew was fine
What was Kuma's goal? Take Luffy. What was Zoro's goal? Save Luffy and the nakamas from him. Who achieved their goal? Zoro
here kuma's goal was to capture luffy and zoro's goal was to save luffy. Therefore Zoro, by saving Luffy defeated Kuma in that sense
Zoro's fans are tasting their own medicine

then zoro never defeated kuma if you think aokiji won against luffy, because they left in the exact situation luffy was covered with ice while zoro was covered with blood

On the contrary friend. No one talked about scales of power. It's just that the one who opened the thread, read that Zoro defeated Kuma and automatically related it to the scales of power.

He has opened two threads, in which I think no one said that Zoro defeated Kuma because Zoro > Kuma, but the guy doesn't seem to understand no matter how much they explain it to him.
The other Zoro supporters may not share this view with you, you know. Many members here will divert this stuff towards powerscaling, unlike your topic about achieving the goal.

I dont say Luffy didnt achieve his goal, i just said it's not powerscaling. I havent pay attention to the factors to nitpick on both scenes yet.
I am not powerscaling all I am saying is that if they agree that zoro defeated kuma which he didn't then they should also agree that luffy defeated aokiji

The situation doesn't need to be the same? Lol. So you're trying to say that "something different happened, but actually the... same thing happened"?

Kuma said he'd send Zoro to hell. Aokiji said he could send Luffy to hell, but wasn't going to because of Alabasta. Different things are different lol

then zoro never defeated kuma if you think aokiji won against luffy, because they left in the exact situation luffy was covered with ice while zoro was covered with blood
I'd be tempted to agree with you if I couldn't read. If you can't acknowledge the difference in what was said you're only lying to yourself.

And because you mentioned Garp... that escape from the Marines? Yeah, THAT was a victory and it was due to the whole crew, especially since Luffy couldn't move after fighting Lucci and they evaded Garp later with a coup de burst. It's a victory because they said as much both times, even if they only escaped Garp on Water Seven because he chose not to capture his grandson.


Lol I'm not paraphrasing, I'm posting the actual manga. I'll have to show you the whole series apparently, because clearly you only skimmed it to catch up.

obviously luffy lost I am not an idiot then if luffy lost then zoro also never defeated kuma or can you show me a panel of zoro being said the victor

It wasn't a fight so we wouldn't get a box announcing a winner or anything. The victory is a moral one because they set a term and Zoro upheld his end without losing anything, which is why it's not called a loss.

They don't to be exactly the same as long as they are similar that's what we call an analogy
Aokiji's objective was to Kill Robin he didn't succeed
Kuma's objective was to capture Luffy he didn't succeed
In one case you said it is a defeat in the other one you don't despite both failed to achieve their objective eventhough they could

LMAO that's not an analogy. That's a comparison, which doesn't need to have a particular similarity one way or the other. An analogy isn't two things that are similar or seemingly equal at face value, an analogy takes two completely different things and ties them together explicitly by what's similar.

Playing with fire and recreational gambling form an analogy. Winning a boxing match by unanimous decision and winning a boxing match by split decision don't form an analogy. I'm not sure how you didn't get this concept but you're welcome.

As for Aokiji's objective, it was NEVER to kill Robin and he was never ordered to do so except for Ohara. The world government was fine with him only reporting because they already had a plan to blackmail her into working with CP9. Aokiji figured that either she would run or they would succeed, not that she had found reliable friends... which was fine by him.


"Chill kids, you are the ones who should learn to listen"

"How disappointing, I thought you'd be smarter than this"

I have a lot of empathy for this character now lol

Aokiji spared Robin, but he was never given a direct order like Kuma or Garp, who were both held accountable for failure by Sengoku. Aokiji decided not to participate in the chase with Garp, and they had no idea just how close he'd gotten to Robin. The worst thing the govt actually had for Aokiji was not electing him for a promotion over Akainu.

But it's all in the manga. You don't post your own evidence because you don't have any confidence in your comparison. Can't even show proof of what Kuma intended back when he started picking Luffy up, just stall with dumb questions with the hope that someone else will. If you're just going to waste my time like that, not showing the actual story to support your assertion, I'm done with you two.

kuma might have picked up luffy for two reasons
1. remove the pain and throw it away
2. send luffy to amazon lily
he would never have killed luffy canonically as that was shown in sabaody

Plot can make him get past Garp like that, a former top tier still in his old age, so I would technically account a PIS scenario as a legendary did even though counting its origin. :cheers:
