The size of the explosion is what doesnt matter. The size of the lazer does. What went through WB was a skinny ass lazer with a big explosion. Compared to Mereum already big lazer beam that will cover his entire body.
That is only relevant if the laser has the same penetration niveau. I see only how it fly against the rock, what happens next? Did the rock explode, or break the laser trough the rock like a hot knife trough butter? Because a penetration feat is far more impressive then a laser that only explode against a stone.
The laser in One Piece are melting iron and stone by contact, the magma from Akainu even melt steel, without direct contact.
We also shouldn´t forget the point that most attacks that Whitebeard has tanked happend, when he was off guard. If someone is off guard, his durability isn´t on the same level as before, for example Naruto when he get pierced by a sword.
And before you came with Squardo. A 210.000.000 Berry guy. Someone like Zoro, before he get a bounty on that level and cut Iron Man Daz Bones. Where are the fodder characters? Also where melt the laser of Meruem steel?
And for that tree feat. Kizaru's explosion only encompassed the base of the tree. No way near the entire tree at all. It isnt more impressive....
The explosion was bigger, if we compare both scans. Of course every mangaka has his own size, and maybe the one of Meruem is bigger. But that doesn´t matter it is point, while it is only relevant if the laser can damage WB. The Laser of Kizaru can harm him, but what speaks for Meruem? What makes his laser more effective? Did it melt steel too? Steel/Iron>Rock in terms of durability.
Again like I said size of the beam matters...not the explosion. Cause the lazer would go through WB and explode behind him. However in Mereum case the Laser beam is way bigger so it affect WB's entire body.
I understand what you mean, but that is only relevant if the quality of the laser doesn´t depended from the size difference. Kizaru his laser kick destroyed the three, but it doesn´t break trough it. His small laser beams can easy penetrate something, since they are sharper, or have a smaller diameter. Since the lasers in fiction have some physical form, the diameter decide pressure of an attack.
If you don´t get what i said, take a hammer and a needle. Try to use the same pressure on your thumb, you will see the needle will penetrate your thumb. That´s because the diameter of the needle, is far far smaller then the head of the hammer. The same with a sword to cut something. You can´t cut something with a bat, if you use the same pressure lol.
Smaller Laser are often better then bigger laser, unless they don´t have shown weakness at both points.
You can´t compare Kizaru his laser with Meruem his laser, if he don´t fulfill the same properties.
Like this is basic shit man. Stop acting ignorant
You are right, that is basic shit. I wonder, why you don´t understand how crossbattle debates are working.
