Yh but he still got injured.
Sure, after tanking an attack far beyond the steel durability. I never said he no selled it, it is the same with the energy attack (nuke) which Meruem tanked and was still crippled to a certain degree.
Pacifista is more durable than Katakuri ( ignoring hos Mochi body) but unlike Katakuri....their endurance is limited to a pre timeskip.
How is a Pacifista more durable than Katakuri, if he tanked Hits which are far worse then the one that put a Pacifista down? That has nothing to do with Katakuri his Mochi body, since Luffy hit his true body (You already said he was injured).
I also don´t talk about the endurance/stamina. I talked about the durability, what Katakuri selled before.
If we going with stamina, OP characters like Luffy and Co. can fight for days, Admirals like Aokiji and Akainu fightning around 10 days.
How high is Meruem his endurance?
They made out of machinery that will explode because theyre not fully human. Kuma and Franky are humans first, and look at them.
They are Cyborgs. One part of them isn´t human/biological. Also it is obvious that Kuma has a comparable alloy like a Pacifista, you saw what attacks from Zoro and Sanji did to him? Also why it is relevant if the machinery explodes? I never said Meruem would explode after a Haki punch lmao. That is of course because a Pacifista is a robot and made of different components, included Kizaru his light.
Kuma's durability is no different to a normal Pacifista....but he doesnt explode like them, and Franky is as durable as them at best. But he still wont explode.
Agree, at this time his durability wasn´t different. Even Zoro couldn´t cut through him. He only scratched him with his suprise attack.
But as i said, what has the explosion to do with all that? A pacifista is more durable then a building, more durable then steel.
You think Luffy can oneshot Kuma the same way he did a Pacifista...
The current Luffy could probably oneshot the Kuma before timeskip and i don´t see what speak against it, since he already beat the likes of Doflamingo. Not all Samurai are in the same powerlevel, look at Crocodile who was beaten by Rookie Luffy. Or look at current Buggy. A regular Pacifista was a serious opponent for PTS Straw hats. Kuma is the origin and has also a Devil Fruit, which gives him more versatility.
Its obvious humans are different to them. They have pain tolerances and endurance to keep them afloat. Look at Sanji comparing Vergo to iron ( which is weaker than steel) however he can oneshot a Pacifista.
The iron argument was already used at Daz Bonez, who was beaten by Zoro. The same Zoro who has trouble against Kuma and later against a Pacifista. Sanji nearly broked his leg against Kuma, later his kick break the neck of the Pacifista, while Zoro cut trough the Pacifista. It is obvious that Vergo is already far above iron, this guy selled an attack from Sanji without much problems. The same Sanji who breaked his leg
by trying to counter Vergo his leg.
@Rosella.Fiamingo help me out here. This dude is sayong humans have steel like durability. Tell him theyre all below tree lvl lmaooo
I don´t say humans have steel like durability. You are the one who compared humans to cyborgs above. It is obvious that humans in fiction are often superhuman.
No he dont...and no having superior CoA doesnt mean having superior stats. You are just regressing now.
Oh, yes he has. I mean, oc you can ignore the former statements, feats and scaling, but what kind of debate are we doing here?
If you didn´t accept scaling, create a topic and add the rule that scaling shouldn´t be used.
Also where did i said that "no having superior CoA doesn´t mean having superior stats"? Dafuq?
First of all, every OP characters have different stats and CoA increase the physical stats like the attacks and the durability by far. There are probably some people who are without using CoA Haki that durable and powerful (Kaido)
I never said his later enemies are inferior. Im just saying you cant scale off the previous ones cause they never used haki to bypass the rubber durability.
Wait, what? Sengoku never used Haki against Luffy, when he punched him the blood out of his mouth? Garp didn´t hurt Luffy without Haki? Only because Haki wasn´t that relevant in the early story, it ddidn´t mean it doesn´t exist.
Also you can scale previous ones, as long there is a chain that can be followed that can be traced. Like Luffy destroying a pacifista who was harder then steel and later he fought against Katakuri who only bleed a bit after those attacks. And that was even using with Koka, which makes Luffy his rubber harder and harder.
Sengoku never showed an Island lvl punch. Moriah and Shadow of Asgard Moriah are two different people. Asgard Moriah is a pure glass cannon, like Enel.
Sengoku was respected by Whitebeard and it was shown that the quake ability can keep up with his power. No Island level punch needed, since we have accurate scaling.
But i agree at the point that Moria and Shadow of Asgard Moria are different in terms of stats. Still. Moria was "only" a Samurai, not a emperor, or an Admiral. Also what has Moria his durability too do with that? We didn´t scale Moria his dura, we scale his punch against Luffy. Attack isn´t automatically = durability, even when VsBattle often thinks that is a good idea to scale it with that.
Who even accepts that shit.
It is accepted by big Wikis, and battle boards who are debating stuff like that all day. Only because you are one of a few who didn´t accept it, it doesn´t mean we have to take your opinion as face value.
Listen, i still respect your opinion and i understand you problem with scaling. You disagree with scaling, i disagree with fancalcs which are even more worse then scaling. Or even more bad if someone uses scaling from those calcs, which is even more worse since we compare facts from fiction with headcanon.
I don´t know if the rules here are different from Battle boards, like scaling isn´t allowed here, then i will shut my mouth.
Yh and unlike any of them....Doffy hasnt shown the birdcage in any fight. He hasnt been shown to be able to use it in a 1 v 1 or any kind of fight. Its just a dumb useless ability. That shouldnt be scaled off cause he wont even use it in a fight.
That´s why Attack Potency exist. Of course Doffy didn´t use it all day, the same like most DB characters didn´t destroy planets. They have the potency for that. You can´t scale all abilities and other powers on that, that should be logical. The same with DC/AP or Striking strength = durability, which doesn´t make sense either.
I could easily just say Mereum flying around and spamming his lazer beam would eventually destroy an Island.
If he can do that, i don´t see there any problem. What speaks against it? I have to be fair with both sides. Scaling doesn´t only exist for Doflamingo.
And then scaling off....Mereum has proven to be Island lvl. Thats how stupid it is to scale off the Birdcage. The birdcage is a slow, useless ability that has massive AoE but is just cutting rock at the end of the day. Like you said.....Rock isnt impressive right.
You brought up a good point. Rock isn´t impressive, neither is the size. Oc you need more power to destroy a mountain which has more mass then a rock, but in terms of density they should be similar. (But even that is hard to find out, since we don´t know the constitution of it. If the rock has more minerals, or consist/is compressed of different rocks, it is harder then a regular rock. Those are unknown points, and we are going with the lowest possibility. However, a rock isn´t impressive in comparison to steel, or something that surpassed it.
Literally only tanked like 2 of his hits without haki.
Huh?
Look on his arm, he used CoA.
Heres Luffy's haki attack interacting with steel. This time no explosive Pacifista.
As you can see, all Luffy can do it dent it. Due to not having explosive machinery, he couldnt destroy the shell. Only leave his imprint on it.
Didn´t see there any problem, only you use the statement seriously, when already was showed that Luffy can destroy something harder then that.
Katakuri's body isnt as hard as steel. Narratively it doesnt even make sense, since his mochi allows him to be dodging all the
Narratively Rubber isn´t hard as steel too, and Luffy still trashed a Pacifista. Rubber can´t even destroy a stone, but it still happens. You can´t compare the elements 1:1 with the ones of our world.
