Volume 111 - Discussion Thread (March 4th, 2025)

Nah, it’s really brain-dead to me.

Big Mom has canonically been furious for twenty years that Roger managed to steal a copy of her RP, and is fully aware of how valuable the knowledge it has is.

So she has locked it in the heart of her fortress, under lock and key, watched 24/7. Which is all very sensible.

There is no reason to let any member of her empire to carry with them a copy of it in a ship, rendering all that protection meaningless. No matter how strong that member is. Even Katakuri, her number two. Because she knows the value of that info, she knows that the world wants it. The only one that could be strong enough to guarantee protection of a rubbing would be Big Mom herself.

If she wants someone to read it, force them to come to her. If they are too strong to be forced, then they aren’t going to help her anyway.

If Snack wants to read it himself, he can do it from the vault

Oda now needs to invent a full on backstory for an almost totally irrelevant character of him being like a black market RP salesman, BM somehow not knowing that her Poneglyph copy is on the black market and none of the other Yonko knowing either.

And Snack has been allowed to live despite his catastrophic error when BM is wanting to cut Lola into pieces for rejecting Loki.

Very bad writing imo.
I asked my friend an apparently it sounds like Snack was forced to go inside the vault. There’s no mention of him carrying it in his ship

Though to could be left vague on purpose
 
Kata > WCI Luffy

Luffy was almost always below his big opponents post TS (Doffy, Kata, Kaido etc)

First Early WCI Luffy is obviously > Post TS Sabaody Luffy. You know well my stance about that

And Luffy needed nami help and the homies to delay Cracker and having a situational power (tankman full mode)
I have Doffy > Cracker

I think Luffy and Cracker were around the same level when they fought and Cracker being pure defense and stalling was bad luck
Post automatically merged:


:willight: We keep getting lower

This doesn’t exist, period
Doffy > Cracker is only true if BM didn't send Cracker specifically because Luffy defeated Doffy and also if Doffy did well against G4

Doffy had lots of help against law and Luffy , still lost badly in mere 1 hour
Cracker had zero help against Luffy
 
This discussion is pointless, I realize that I cannot teach a donkey to count.
Twerkuistador: “Luffy wasn’t weaker than Cracker! He just lacked the power to plow through his biscuits fast enough and/or the speed to get around his biscuits!”

DR Luffy > Doflamingo. It was just a bad matchup for Luffy because he lacked the power and speed to get around Doffy’s Awakening and KO him before the G4 time limit ran out. This is what you sound like
 
Kata still acknowledged Luffy to be on his general level. That was a Luffy with a single half assed powerup.

Cracker will not be ~ Kata with a single half assed powerup.

First Early WCI Luffy is obviously > Post TS Sabaody Luffy. You know well my stance about that
Yes, and you know that i think that stance is stupid.

I think Luffy and Cracker were around the same level when they fought and Cracker being pure defense and stalling was bad luck
Law, Zoro or even Kidd would've destroyed Cracker.
You know why? Their peak power isnt time-limited like Luffy's.

If two Commander level guys like Law & Luffy had to use their strongest techniques to defeat someone... i wonder where he ranks now.
 
This was never an argument

Villains being dumb or having questionable lines / takes are common

it’s not gospel
Nope
Villains like bm aren't dumb
She knew it's Luffy who crushed Doffy
Even Law says it "it's Mugiwara, not me"

Doffy was never someone Luffy has to surpass like he viewed himself below katakuri and Yonko

Remove Law, Luffy still beats Doffy 1v1. He has no chance to beat G4 in 2 rounds or 3

Bit better, but then really, Kid somehow manages to defeated, threaten and terrify Snack enough for him for him to betray Big Mom like that? And no one else notices?

Does Snack not have the brains to simply... tell BM what happened? Raise the alarm at some point, send the whole furious army after a crew that would get wrecked in seconds?

The whole thing raises a lot of questions and I don’t think there’s any satisfactory answers to them.
