Powers & Abilities Destroying the myth: Named attacks are superior to no named attacks

First attack that Luffy uses against Hody is one where he charged up maximum momentum and launching himself as a spring onto Hody. It wasn't "named" but it sent Hody to the other side of the mountain. It definitely is much stronger than his regular G2 set in attack power (it is like a gomu no rocket but in G2 essentially what he did). His second attack he again built up so much speed no one was able of seeing Luffy charging up the plaza (not even Hody who was roided up with better reaction speed lets say as he was able to dodge Vander Decken's axe point blank). None of the attacks Luffy used in G2 against were named but they were some of the most powered up attacks in his G2 state. When Luffy maxes out on his G2 ability is what he did to Hody but it wasn't named attacks. Non-named attacks can be sronger given the context, the state of the person, and named attacks are just used for stylistic and simplistic purposes but are not necessarily stronger. I think Luffy vs Hody is also a good example of this. We have yet to see Luffy max out on his elastic springiness in the G2 state as he did against Hody for obviosu reason (Luffy would be hella powerful and competitive in this state, just look at what he did to Wapol in fucking Drum Island lol)
There is a difference between CALLING OUT an attack, and it being "named". Luffy didn't call out his attacks against Katakuri, but it was clearly he was using Kong Guns* a "named" attack.
The importance of named attacks is that they're prepared/premeditated and often times practiced very well, so obviously they're stronger than random low effort/improvised attacks.

Talk about crying 
I hurt feelings of Crying Six Zolo Pirates ( https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/for...rk-horse-of-one-piece.9764/page-8#post-945099 ) they follow me everywhere with their pathetic sword licking arguments.
Jozu hit Aokiji, and he only did internal damage, not external.
Marco did the same to Akainu, if Akainu didn't get damage he wouldn't scream in pain after the hit and he wouldn't run away, but why I am trying to make reason Crying Zolo pirates?

yes, i agree
hell... even named attacks can have weaker versions dependent on one's stamina
that'll mean that whitebeard didn't use his full power due to his illness and age
in stampede luffy kind of proved that he can massively increase king kong gun's strength as long as he has enough stamina to increase his arm's size
zoro's no-named shishi son son vs apoo/Prometheus
yamato's attack that defeated number 8 was stronger than the one that defeated sasaki's subordinate

OP fans for some weird reason have got it in their heads that just because a character has a name for an attack that somehow it’s more potent and more powerful than if they were to just attack silently, well allow me to tell you why you’re wrong.
This is Akainu, using the attack called ”Meigou” to take half of Whitebeard’s face. If you notice his hand is open with his fingers pointed as magma is pouring out from his arm(credit to newgate-arts from deviantart).
Now this is Akainu again using the SAME EXACT ATTACK on Whitebeard to dig a hole in his chest. The way the attack looks is exactly the same from the position of the fingers to the way magma is pouring out along his arm. The only difference here is Akainu targets Whitebeards chest instead of his face.
I can show countless similar examples where characters do the same attack but in one case says a name but in the other does not, the naming of attacks is only done for the audience, it has nothing to do with the strength of the attack itself.
So next time someone says ”X character did this with a no-named attack, imagine what he will do when he names his attacks”, just show them these two pictures of Akainu or show them Doflamingo controlling Jozu with ease and only saying ”Parasyte” post TS once the audience are already familiar with his DF.

The notion that a named attack is more powerful than a silent one in One Piece is flawed. Akainu using the attack Meigou does not automatically make it stronger. The attack's potency is determined by its strength and the user's skill, not its name. Additionally, a silent attack can catch opponents off-guard and prove just as effective or even more so. Therefore, the idea that named attacks are inherently more powerful is a misconception.
This thread needs more exposure, people still think named attacks mean something.
I just noticed something, you were dumb 2 years ago, ZKK didn't happen, you left the forum and you are still dumb, why is that?
Read that post again, Jozu hits Aokiji, but Aokiji gets only internal damage, not external damage. Same with Marco vs Akainu, Marco can make shockwaves as well, why else Akainu scream and run from there clown?
Look how Lakainu runs from attacks that ''doesn't make damage'' its weird thing.

So, Zoro Regular Sword Swing = his Named attack?
It's Fair if it have similiar stance or move but even Amongs Named attack there's a diffrent output on it.
Even in Sanji's Kick they're diffrent regular Up kick wouldnt have same strength as Anti Course Manner even if both have same stance.
I'm not going to mentions Gyojin Karate they have the same exact stance but diffrent name make completely different power.
