Current Events If you take Luffy's x100 times statement literally, then Kizaru said

[Erkan12]

His defense is equal to Sentomaru's, who is fodder to top tiers.

Just saying, Lizaru should've defeated Sento without using his DF if he wanted to prove his superior Haki level, DFless Teach scarred Shanks.

So which one?

-Old Ray = Current Luffy, and Kizaru's defense = Sentomaru's defense

-Or both are just metaphorical statements.

Kizaru should be the weakest admiral because of his care free attitude.

 

[Tapioca]

That's bad math.

Luffy being 100x stronger isn't the same as Sentomaru being 100x stronger

 

[Moegara]

Blackbeard is lucky he didn't run into Sentoumaru.

Blackbeard is lucky he didn't run into Sentoumaru.

His lack Is going to end sooner or later. He can't avoid destiny.

scaling pixels to determine size of something is even above that.

Don't forget VFX scaling.

Dude, they're even using Live Action as an argument for power levels right now; I'm no longer surprised by anything.

I think of that everytime that nothing would suprise me any further and I'm proved wrong the moment next thread shows up.

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Luffy's math might be off but he didn't say "I'm as strong as old Ray now" while Kizaru is 100% comparing his defense with Sentomaru's.

 

[zorovsanji]

Luffy is just old Rayleigh erkek and his eos is just prime Rayleigh. Same Rayleigh who's just minimum for Zoro. So move on.

I kinda see @Erkan12’s argument. Kizaru also said that he taught Sentomaru all he could. Writers foreshadow. This might be a foreshadowing that the way to overcome Kizaru’s defense is the same as Sentomaru’s defensive vulnerability: they both need to know where the attack is coming from and block/avoid it or they are quite vulnerable and take big damage. Luffy is vulnerable to slicing attacks, per Kaido. Why can’t Kizaru have a defensive weakness?

BM and Kaido’s defense weren’t as dependent on having a defensive posture/technique as they are naturally tanky. I would surmise Akainu would also be a tanky defensive type, that can take a punch, not a dodger type fighter. Different skill sets.

Just a few chapters and the narrative will chsnge from O. Rayleigh = Current Luffy to Current Luffy = Roger after Lizaru is smoked.

 

[Herrera95]

That should make him the strongest right?

Luffy and Zoro are the most care free of the crew and the strongests meanwhile all others are much more carefully in their actions.

 

[Robin swan]

It's a figure of speech not a literal power level. People need to stop trying to find little words and make them hyper literal statements.

 

[Durableguy]

This fanbase has gotten excessively anal about all the weird scaling moments.

The Mihawk one was probably the weirdest and most excessively anal thing I've seen.

Like bro. It's just a sweat drop.
