Come on....Kaido is not punching...he is just swinging the club, if Luffy has a club his swinging force is same in base or G4 (just swing)...and of course the gap between Luffy G4 and base Luffy is far larger than the gap between hybrid and base form...I don't see how hybrid offers more swing to the club...thunder bauga is a haki move....I am talking about Kaido...in this fight he hasn't used thunder bagua with two hands....
Hybrid form is either way stronger than base, be it a punch, a swing, a kick or whatever. See Lucci and every other zoan in the Enies lobby arc or even the calamities and flying 6 in this arc. Hybrid is always the strongest form (or at the very least it is stronger than base form). Also if we want to nitpick the thunder bagua he gave to G5 Luffy was in baae, with one hand and there was also no visible haki vs a fresh G4 Luffy while Ragnarok is in hybrid form, both hands smashing down (also enraged this time) and so much haki it is leaking fron the weapon and it hits fully a wounded base Luffy lying on the floor. So, to conclude, Luffy gets huge plot power to do what he dies but I agree with you that it is almost the same for Zoro (a little less maybe since he is not the MC). Taking the hakuma, a thunder bagua and still be kicking means he would shit even on every version of Luffy before 1010, and this doesn't make sense. Oda is simply manipulating things to produce climax with no regard for power levels.

What is the sound that Oda focused on before Zoro fainted? Is it perhaps the same sound we heard in WCI?
Hint - check the raws. :myman:
No scans huh:emohiyo:


Luffy: No, You should be careful. The water around here is poisonous. I heard that the animals and fish here are Poisonous, too!!
Zoro: I see, so that's why my stomach's been hurting....

Zoro has been eating poisonous fishes ever since he got framed in the capital fam. You do know poison tends to spread and block normal regulatory system. It gets even worse with overexertion.
Are you gna sit there and tell me Zoro couldn't use CoO and dodge that Gyukimaru's attack cos he was hungry too:choppawhat:
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one chief :halt:

There is nothing to disagree upon. Facts are clear, you are just delusional.
Look at the sound before the faint, that fact will never change, whether you like it or not.
Zoro dodged all of Gyukimaru's attacks, you are reading Two Piece. :yasu:

I obviously meant Killer/Kamazou.
Do you really think hunger was the reason why he got stabbed??

How did you go from the reason why he fainted to the reason why he got stabbed? :milaugh:
My stance was Zoro fainted from poisoned food and yours was hunger amirite?
Did you read my previous comment where I basically said Poison slows down the body? It is basically a followup question from the previous convo Akh.
Do you think hunger was the reason why Zoro was too slow to dodge Killer's attack or nah???

  • Insane growth rate
    - This is not something that bothers me much. Characters with great "potential" and fast "growth" could be more common inside the story, to make it look like Luffy is not the only one, and the world would feel more "vast". But, since he's the MC, whatever. Oda said he wants Luffy to end his journey to find One Piece young, that's why the timeskip was just 2 years. So, fuck it.
  • Infinity willpower, which can imply infinity endurance
    - Infinity willpower can be considerably different from person to person. What does it mean? Does it mean you never falter? Does it mean that when you're down, you find the power to get back up? Do you do it alone? Do you receive help? The "willpower = endurance" comes since the beginning of the story. Baratie's fight against Don Krieg was entirely based on this concept. So, again, doesn't bother me much.
  • Crazy luck
    - This is garbage. Luffy assembles a crew that will help him become Pirate King. The "luck" element should actually be the "crew" helping him. Receiving help from other side characters is fine, but the whole reason the crew exist, is to help Luffy achieve his dream, while pursuing their own. The fact that Luffy's luck carries him, makes the crew look more and more disposable. And creating one or other singular plot point to highlight one specific crewmember after hundreds of chapters of doing nothing, doesn't cut it. Only reason Robin is relevant, is due to the poneblyphs, but, somehow, since freaking Ennies Lobby she isn't mentioned until freaking Zou. Nami? Is KINDA hard to think Nami is that relevant, when the characters can perform DBZ feats and basically go against nature themselves. Jinbei basically gives free movement to the ship, The Coup de Burst can make them escape from dangers, etc. Dude in FI says that an "excellent navigator can use the log pose to determine the best route". Immediately after that, we have Luffy saying that he wants to go to the most dangerous place, regardless of what Nami tells him. So why bother with her in the first place if you don't want to follow her instructions? Make a map? You mean to tell me Nami is the only cartographer in the world? LMAO. Sanji was important as a cook, but also as part of the Monster Trio, to take part of the enemy forces enough to make room for Luffy and Zoro take down the most dangerous enemies. Now? LMAO. A "cook" is not as important as a nutritionist. They can survive with eggs and pickles. Jinbei can easily provide some normal fishes, etc.

    That's what I have to say about these topics. :P

Why do I have to explain simply Japanese comics to you? It really aint that complicated...
Zoro has been eating and drinking poison for weeks, no issue except the tummy ache.
Since Luffy arrived and told him about it all being poisoned he starved, several days until the battle vs Kamazou.
Before the battle started he asked for food and sake as a reward for protection from the assassin.
Before he faints his stomach leaves a sound which is in everyone's face - GURGL which is SFX used for starvation.

The reason why he got injured by Killer was also already explained by Zoro himself.
He blames himself, his naivety is the cause of it. He believed the bandit from the bridge wouldnt interfere.
Now, tell me, how did you miss all that and you need me to explain it to you, for the 10th time?
You already forgot or you are still a troll? :yasu:
Luffy survived mihawk slash, akainu magma, lighting, sand, strings,mochi
All of those together are not as good as the island buster feat. :myman:

You are asking me for an explanation for the 10th time and for the 10th time you choose to disagree with facts.
Cant even make that shit up. :suresure:

It was fun when it happened in Allabasta in the first time...the second it already made crocodille look like those carttonish villains that create "impossible to escape" contraptions but leave the protagonist there, alone, to escape while he goes drink tea or something.

Now its happening in every arc, last one was Katakuri, but it was to drik tea while eating donnuts.
:kayneshrug:
Oda just dosent know how to create tension withoud making Luffy get his ass handed, even dragon ball has vegeta to serve as a punch bag to hype Goku's opponents, in One piece Luffy serves as a punching bag to hype up his own opponents.

And? Did you hope that your post would somehow erase several days of starvation? Or what is the purpose of your post? :sanmoji:
Are you really so fucking hung up on Starvation? Fucking Sanji went several weeks without eating as a kid.
It's not that impressive if a kid could do it, But for your supposed boi it shouldn't even matter if he's had go a few days uneaten. Didn't think your boi was that fragile. Or are you just making it more than what it is because if it were someone else I'm damn sure you'd have a changed tune. Dude you so basic.
