I mean if she could knock out Ulti with her attack that kind of puts her on BM's level ( not saying she's as strong as her or anything but hear me out ) as Maser Cannon had the exact same effect on Ulti and made her go night night.
Ulti wasn't focused at blocking the attack at all. She was completely focused on something else and Yamato got her point blank sneak attack.
Also how I mentioned. Ulti stands up really quickly. Yamato is just tanky due to Oni + Zoan. She is not strong per ap.
I mean Zoro also makes barriers tho
And his barriers are far stronger than Luffy's barrier Haki
And his barriers are far stronger than Luffy's barrier Haki
I just think of AdvCoA for Zoro as to being able to cut thru scales.
brawlers punch from the inside, Zoro cuts and the cut I don't know pierces further than regular CoA would do or whatever.
It's just different application.
