Re: Does Luffy need a weapon to fight Logia's, I.e Akainu

I don't think Luffy will use a weapon like a sword, bat, or anything on that line. Doesn't match him.

Looking on how Gear 2 works, and all these attacks names after guns, his attacks would all be related to fire arms.

Looking at Haki, I bet he would develop something more like this:

Some kind of knuckle dusters would suit him quite well.

Should Luffy get a weapon?

So far a lot of the most powerful people in the one piece world have a weapon, shanks and whitebeard being the most noticeable examples.

but what do you think of luffy getting a weapon?

I think it would be a great idea assuming it's fairly unique. rayleigh made a point of haki being transferrable to weapons and it would allow luffy to make contact with and defend against people like akainu and magellan.

Re: Does Luffy need a weapon to fight Logia's, I.e Akainu

I'm going to say this as simply and eloquently as i possibly can...
NO.


Luffy doesn't need weapons ... he has never once hinted that he wants weapons .. or has any interest in learning to use them ... the only time he has .. was a bluff against arlong so he could punch him

<-- isn't counting mizu luffy as a weapon ..

But you know what ... I like the idea that he's moving forward soley on his own strength ... "With this fist .. i shall make my place in the new world .. "
Kinda attitude .

I never tought about it and i don't expect it, but that would really be cool. Don't change his fighting style at all. He could put some gloves and have the knucle dusters embebed with seastone. /havingaacidtrip
I know this is is far fetched and i really don't expect Luffy to have weapons but this would be fine by me.

Luffy already has a weapon - all masts belong to him :D "gomu gomu no IKEBANA!"

@tret16
That's the same thread...

Re: Should Luffy get a weapon?

IMO he could using some weapons if necessary,
but his main fighting style is using his own hands

Re: Should Luffy get a weapon?

knuckle dusters would be good but it wouldn't negate the risk from people like akainu or magellan

he'd need something he could use from a distance, like a bo staff or a bisento

Re: One Piece 597 Discussion / 598 Prediction Thread

- All the Top fighters seem to have a weapon of swords with the exception of a few people. But Shanks/Whitebeard/ GoldRoger & Even Ace all used a weapon of some sort. I'm thinking perhaps Luffy will learn a weapon of some kind but his Rubber/Gomu Gomu attacks are liquid in nature that have no set pattern or form which would make adapting to a weapon almost impossible. Did Oda set up his power to make him unable to use a weapon? Or will his Gomu Gomu attacks coupled with Color of Armament be suffient to crush any weapon users he shall come across?

Luffy does favor blunt attacks so I can't imagine him imagining a sword

Most likely Luffy can now punch with a sword and reduce it to bruise than wound. Like magma boy punching shanks but not of that effect :D

I wonder why magma boy stopped back then? and not attack shanks at least once, is shanks more powerful than wB or just more intimidating?

Re: One Piece 597 Discussion / 598 Prediction Thread

Someone suggested that he could use WBs halberd but I don't think he would use WBs cause its marking his grave. But I think he is going to need a weapon vs BB and other Haki users that can drain/negate his stretching. Perhaps a Spear/Naganata?

This was taken up already a while back. I don't see Luffy carrying around a sharp object, mainly because he doesn't really like fighting, more especially killing. He just often gets dragged into fights. So I'd prefer to see him wield blunt objects such as hammers, or my suggestion, 2 bucklers which acts as added defense and offense for Luffy.

Yeah something along the lines of metal knuckles is best. I could also see him use a staff just because he could turn it into a propeller which would be pretty comical.

Re: One Piece 597 Discussion / 598 Prediction Thread

Yh zoro is their swordsman. So??. its not like being a swordsman is like being the navigator or doctor on their ship where luffy only needs one. Zoros fighting style is using a sword. Its not a job. My point is luffy could learn how to use a sword just to fight againt swords. And it is not farfetched to think Luffy could develop another fighting style which would be less dominant simply to enable him to fight against swords. like Whitebeard for example. He would probably get outdone by the top swordsmen anyday but he still has his halberd which he can still use. He has two fighting styles but using his halberd is probably less dominant like when he went to attack BB, the first attack he thought to use was his earthquake ability and when that was rendered useless, he then resorted to his halbeerd. luffy could only uses his sword against other sword threats but his original fighting style would remain dominant. Afterall, his goal ain't to become best swordsman.. I can't see zoro fending off all swordsmen on his own. It makes sense that rayleigh could teach him how to fight against swords like razh said a while back. I'm not saying it is hundred percent, but you can't discard the possibility.

And again, you can just call it one of Luffys upgrades.
