Law can swap snow flakes and yet you think BB can deprive Law of objects to switch...that in itself is unfounded.
If he covered the battlefield with darkness, then he will have nothing to switch places with. Too bad this isn't a winter island for him to switch places with snowflakes. Law has to get close to BB to land hits, so it's easy enough to capture him without giving him enough time to react. I am not saying Law is definitely getting captured. I already explained to the folks last week how Law is one of the only DF users that could oppose BB's DF but it's not as hard to touch Law as you're making it out to be.
I did mention that he would compete with BB without his DF. My point is Law will not be helpless if BB manages to touch hi. because he has a sword.
He is helpless against BB as long as he doesn't have access to his DF abilities. There is nothing he could do against GGnM without his fruit. His only option is BB acting careless, and not attacking Law.
Yes that is what it means. The degree of mitigation however depends on the strength of the users haki. What we are arguing is that Law's haki is not so weak that he can't mitigate a gura punch to a significant degree.
I think everyone already knows how Haki works. Saying "Law's Haki isn't weak" doesn't prove his Haki mitigates GGnM damage to a significant degree. You're supposed to provide evidence to support these claims.
And it being the best feat he has so far implies he can't block a gura punch?
Obviously, that's how logic works. You judge things based on what they did, not based on what you want them to do. If Law's best feat is blocking Doffy's Five-Colored String, then it's perfectly logical to assume he could block comparable attacks. GGnM attacks are on a completely different level.
This is unfounded. Even BBs crew preskip took a Gura punch and only sustained minor damage
Not a single one of them took a direct punch besides BB. WB threw a punch in their general direction. Even Akainu was temporarily immobilized after two hits, and it was the same guy who treated Marco and Vista like bugs.
The stance is the preparation..hence why I said Law's sword comes into play because he can interrupt that stance.
It's not like it takes several minutes. He has to rise his hand in a weird way, that takes less time than Zoro's Onigiri or Luffy's gears. Law's not exactly well known for having super quick reactions. Not when he's gonna be in an uncomfortable position while being pulled in. He's getting punched before he even realizes he couldn't use his powers.
The first hit WB used on Akainu was relatively weak. Even weaker than the first hit he used on the BB pirates
Why's it weak? Coz the strongest admiral withstood it?
The operative words there is "can be superior"
I don't see how that's any different from Sanji's CoA could be superior to Luffy's coz it's a possibility, so he could mitigate damage from GGnM of all things.
Law's haki also grew so why are you automatically assuming that Luffy's is superior?
Coz we have no reason to believe Law's Haki is superior.
We have no reason to believe Law's haki is not superior either which is my point. We can't just assume that one is over the other
Except we do. Luffy has a highly advanced Haki and Law's Haki hasn't done anything for us to confirm it could operate at that level when all he ever did was some basic blocking. If Law had the same level of Haki as Luffy then he'd be running around with Zoro putting scares on Kaido without even needing Room.
