Powers & Abilities Reminder that a lot of OP characters have some bloodline traits that clearly have boosted their skills

Sanji isn't a bloodline trait he's genetically modified
Yasopp isn't proven to be any stronger than any other YC3 or even on that level
Ryuma Is the only one of any note in 800 years of Shimotsuki up until Zoro
Kuina had potential but her dad killed her
Even luffy wouldn't be has strong as he is without years of training and experience
Bloodline may give a bit of a boost for people like buccaneers or lunarians who have special qualities
But saying Bloodline is why these characters are strong makes a mockery of the training and work they put in

Im not saying its the only reason but it matters like 40% thats why most characters in the verse that arent special can't be top tier
Sanji being genetically modified still counts, hes not normal by any means.
Yasopp is on Shanks crew and was scouted by Shanks hes special and likely over all other YC3.
Luffy... cmon bro it matters just like him eating the Nika fruit matters.

Genetics can only get you so far
You can come from a family of out of shaped inbred trailer park Alabama red necks but through practice and training you get better and better until you're the best.
The same can be said vice versa you can be born to a family of Olympic gold medalist but if you're lazy, don't put in the work and do nothing but eat all day those athletic genes won't Matter in the long run you'll just be out of shape and weak with no skill
Genetics may make it easier or harder but effort is what's important without effort Genetics is nothing
Just like without the material to build a house having the blue prints doesn't matter

I've seen this bad logic quite frequently. I think it's a cope. Hard work vs genetics only applies when either both people have good genetics or bad genetics because in these situations hard work will be the difference. But if someone has good genetics then it's not certain that bad genetics + hard work will prevail. People with good genetics can put on more muscle mass without lifting weights than people with bad genetics who lift regularly. In high competition situations, e.g. professional athlete or noble prize scientist, everyone is putting in hard work and so the difference becomes genetics.
