General & Others Assassination in one piece

[ImmaIvanoM]

I mean, Bege was trying to assassinate Big Mom, but her Conqueror's made the projectiles blow up before reaching her.

That assassination didn’t work because the plot didn’t allow it to work… There’s literally a scene of Sanji refusing to just poison her even though it would have worked

It is possible to assasinate even top tiers in this verse, Oda simply cannot allow it to happen

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

How many people were shown assassinated onscreen in Naruto, a series about spies and assassins?

 

[K!NG HARA$H!MA]

it is the same reason why most world leaders are not assassinated. why was hitler not assassinated if a single bullet can kill him

They have been almost killed many times in fact.

They have plot armours or what you call *Canon Event*

When things are meant to happen, you can't stop it

One piece is a shonen, an assassination isn't the strong point of the genre in general. Even if there was an assassination attempt in a manga, it usually involves a lot of the usual fighting shonen has to offer.

I do dislike how despite being a yonko crew the SHs are still as helpless against something they were helpless against back in punk hazard.

 

[Ven437]

Yes Goofy should’ve died several times but fortunately plot armor is on his side

BM has had multiple people assassinated in the past for not attending her tea parties

You are right, one of the common. Onpalint about Naruto is that it quickly stops really being about ninjas and ninjitsu around the end of the Chunin exam

so Naruto being bad at this for the same reason (to not upset the power scale) doesn’t randomly absolve One piece of this tho

If Road actually tried anything hostile, this would've happened

no CoO doesn’t activate automatically when you’re unconscious… we know for a fact there’s no such thing as automatic CoO even for top tiers in this verse

the reason Luffy has coo active in these panels is because HE ACTIVATED IT WHEN HE WAS CONSCIOUS… it seemingly just remains on even after he’s knocked out

sleeping gas on Luffy 1v1,

The point of it being an assassination is that it’s NOT a 1v1

And that’s the problem… because there is no head to head power scaling involved, this automatically reads the power scale of the verse… suddenly weak characters can kill strong characters and that’s not allowed

CoC* and yes it does, I just posted the panel of it, Luffy wasn't using CoC at all before Kaido one shot him.

No, it's because most Shonen have climactic showdowns and someone getting their throat slit when they're sleeping is anticlimactic. It's not hard to understand.

The CoC wouldn’t activate without Luffy’s CoO making him aware of his surroundings… Luffy isn’t automatically shooting out CoC in his sleep on the ship right? Right? So it only activates when he CAN SENSE THAT HE’S IN DANGER, right?… And sensing danger is a COO ABILITY right?

did you read the original post? I already explained that the reason assassinations don’t exist is because Oda has to follow Shonen conventions

The convention I stated in the original post is that the entire power scale of the series stops mattering the moment assassination is introduced

this applies to every character, not just arc villains… Why hasn’t the Government literally just assassinated Rayleigh? He’s not an arc villain that the story requires to have a climactic fight… because the moment you assassinate Rayleigh, it’s open season for anyone to be assassinated in the story from then on

 

[Rumble]

Assassinations happen.

They just tend to fail more often than not, as is true to real life.

Ace tried to assassinate WB many times, including in his sleep.

We've seen Whitebeard sense Ace's intent while asleep

Spoiler

and Luffy can literally talk to people telepathically while unconscious which logically entails him sensing them first

Spoiler

You're trying to create the idea that it's impossible to even though we've literally seen it happen in the manga, Luffy KO'd fodder around him while unconscious only after their intent was to imprison him, it isn't up for debate.

Yes and Whitebeard and Luffy used CoO both times… because it’s coo that senses people’s intentions… not CoC

and coo is NOT an automatic ability

Do you get what I’m saying? If the CoO isn’t on, they can’t sense anything… And CoO is confirmed to not be an ability any character has on automatically

Whatever you say bro, Luffy KO'd people while unconscious the second their intent was hostile towards him, he'd do the same to Road like I said.

Luffy’s CoO isn’t on so he won’t sense shit

 

[SkySanji]

Luffy’s CoO isn’t on so he won’t sense shit

According to your stupid logic he won't, but in the manga we already see it happen lmao.

 

[BoaHancocksHusband]

John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald chillin

 

[ArturCantSpeakJapanese]

He won’t. If he ever introduces the fact that assassination can happen, the entire power scale of the verse can be destroyed

Robin was employed as an assassin for like over a decade.

No one in Naruto ever did ninja stuff lol. It was a generic kids in magic school series. Like Harry Potter but instead of robes they're in ninja Halloween costumes.
