Controversial Buster Call

[Kumathegoat]

Looks like Robin's nightmare is back again.

What is opinion about it?

 

[Yoho]

It's just a plot device to add tension

 

[Kumathegoat]

Is it still a threat to the strawhat crew or their current powerlevel is far beyond that?

They dealt with it fairly easily in enies lobby this should be easy to deal with

It wouldn't surprise me if Luffy solos the fleet or grandfleet pull up

 

[Doggo]

It's just the arc's "time bomb".

 

[NikaInParis]

This is a way bigger scale than Enies Lobby was.
Granted, the current crew is levels above their EL versions, it's still hundreds of ships bombarding you from the open sea.
Not much you can do about that except to scram from the island.



Also, the EL scenario is getting underplayed for some reason - they barely got out of there because of the Going Merry Deus Ex Machina

 

[Herrera95]

It is an escape arc. Nothing else.

 

[Kiiro]

I really dont like this buster call thing. It's power should be very weak compared the level the characters should have right now.

I really cant see or believe a canon ball will damage a top tier when they can survive being crushed in mountains or tanking attacks that can destroy mountains.

But somehow these canon balls that takes time to fully cover the island can kill them.

Narrative>>>>>Everything else
Oda can make the Buster Call a threat if he wants to, same with the Vice Admirals the most garbage characters in the story so far.

I hope I am wrong but my opinion is that this is Oda tool / way to rush this arc , doing it this way he has excuse. Island is going to get destroyed , there is no time for huge fights that last for hours. All this also means fights will not be concluded with clear winners .

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

Maybe that's why whoever is on that Blackbeard ship is here. Imagine if they stab Saturn bad enough that they have to call off the attack to get him medical care.

And i approve all of this

 

[Sugoi]

its a huge threat and the strawhats will lose

The Revolutionary army will come and save them because Dragon and Sabo most likely knows Kuma is there and that Vegapunk is in danger.

Also, Dragon's wind DF is a perfect counter to Buster Call. What we've seen in Loguetown can work in Egghead by pushing the Straw Hats and Vegapunk to the other side to pave the way for their escape while sinking the navy ships at the same time.

Possible foreshadowing.
