I agree that Blackbeard is strong and can take all sorts of attacks without much of a problem. However, Mihawk isn't "just another swordsman", he's the "greatest swordsman in the world" for a reason. Even Blackbeard won't be able to withstand many hits from him.
Yeah Blackbeard wouldn't die from one attack from Mihawk, the two of them would really have to fight it out and the outcome could go either way.
Blackbeard survived heaps of things that would have been considered fatal for most people (e.g. Ace's fire lances), so why not Mihawk's blade? Mihawk's blade is more deadly they Ace's fire attacks, but still, I can't see Blackbeard getting killed in one hit from any sword (unless it's through the head). And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't let Mihawk strike him in the chest easily either. The problem is that it's difficult to hit someone in an important area. I was assuming that a hit meant a normal hit, say, a cut on the arm not a massive stab in the chest.
Kizaru didn't know the music would blow him to pieces (generally music doesn't) that's why he was surprised. Any normal person would be dead after getting blown up but Kizaru isn't even though he didn't see it coming and had not already turned into his element (i.e. light).
I think the problem here is that you do not understand what I'm arguing. You think I'm saying that the logia ability to transform into their element state is extremely difficult. This is not the case. As you said above, learning to switch states is one of the easiest bits of a logia's abilities. All the logias can do it when they want to or think about it[/I]. What I'm saying is difficult is the ability to switch when they have not thought about it i.e. automatically. So even when someone launches a sneak attack on them, the attack will still unaffect them. Like the Kizaru example.
). The least he has to expect is that somethings gonna happen, who knows Apo just might distract him. That's something an Admiral should always consider.
Kizaru was fighting 4-5 pirates, thus he was in "combat-mode". Consequently I believe he already had his logia switched on. About that music, Im not saying he was expecting to be attacked by music, but I believe he was expecting to be attacked in any kind of way. Though doesn't matter, since he probably was the whole time in "logia auto form" (damn we need a official word for that.. xD)Kizaru didn't know the music would blow him to pieces (generally music doesn't
Ace's Hiken destroyed like five of them, what's your point?
Small or big doesn't matter, 'cause both have the same heat. Ace even named that with the same name. Bigger just means, that a larger field/space would be hit and destroyed and would probably consume more energy. He used a bigger hiken to destroy a larger target (a few ship) and he used the same hiken, just smaller, to hit a smaller target (BB+crew). Nothing more.
How about this identical attack? http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/440/16/
well for 1 Rob Lucci was using Tekkai
That wasnt a direct hit
all those are circumstancial and the fact that BB doesnt use tekkai nor is he a cyborg makes your claim of him beign virtually intangible complete ridiculous especially after he said himself that he takes are much damage or more than a regular human
I have no idea what you're talking about here
Well for starters BB had a different fighting style when he fought shanks plus that was a long time ago
Baseless claim. We havent seen how those attacks do against other people but it wouldnt be a stretch to assume that Ussop Could've survived those attacks as well
Irrelevant.
Awesome.
Urouge didn't die, neither did anyone of the other handful of people who were fried by that laser. Hell, Urouge got back up to fight after he got hit. But BB would die right? Since you think he's weaker than everyone else.
MY statements are baseless? My god, read some of your own. I agree that Usopp could probably survive those attacks. However, he wouldn't get up smiling, that's for sure.
Ignorant. Go read Oda's interviews and SBS columns and you'll realize how much he cares about his real world connections.
Phase covered most of what I would have said. I'm not sure why you'd mention tekkai or cyborg here because neither of my examples involved those. I also never mentioned intangibility. He does take more damage than a regular human BECAUSE HE CAN. You have this ridiculous assumption that Blackbeard is about as tough as a noname marine and that he beat Ace because Ace's attacks are just little spring breezes to cheer you up on a cold winter day.
I agree with you that he couldn't know what attacks him (the music). But I wouldn't be quite clever to just stand around and enjoy it (though it's kinda funny
And like you said "turning into their elements" should be a basic. If he only needs to think about it than he can do it during the whole fight I guess.
Ace and Smoker were hit by Luffy because they didn't know that there were actually a situation that could be harmful in any way. Additionally both of them should be able to resist some attacks.
Crocodile is different. I could imagine that he is always cautious and therefore able to turn in his element any time. But that's because he doesn't trust anybody (except himself).
Ace on the other hand seems to be a somewhat carefree person. So it makes sense that he doesn't expect an attack 24/7.
I presumed that Kizaru was experienced enough with his Devil Fruit to not need to think about it to turn into his element i.e. he turns automatically. But since he was fighting against 4 captains, he might've decided to be more careful, so your theory works as well.
I do not believe Blackbeard would die in one hit from Mihawk. I merely think that Blackbeard is at a disadvantage because Mihawk, as a swordsman, would have an advantage in close combat.
Are you kidding me? You are completely over-rating Blackbeard. Not only are many characters near and at his leve, but still more surpass him. lHe may be the last opponent but he still has a ways to go before being the strongest character in One Piece. What about the Admirals? The rest of the Shichibukai? (who, for many of them, we have not seen the full extent of their powers yet) What about the Yonkou?
Thank you. For God's sake: Blackbeard is not a god.
