I believe all commanders specialize in something. So yes there may be differences in overall power between YC3-YC1. A fight between any of these tiers minimum should be low-mid Diff…
Cracker’s DF skill is top notch; His Waves of Biscuit Soldiers is very powerful, & such a great strategy for his abilities . Doesn’t matter who it is, You are gonna have to break the Bisxuit Soldiers faster than Cracker can make them; Wipe them all out in one go, or somehow approach cracker directly roundabout back to destroying biscuit soldiers faster than he can make em or react.
I think Luffy can be hurt by Haki because he's soft. However in Mr. 1 or Jozu case, you also have to surpass their hardness.
Doflamingo couldn't hurt Luffy with Gear 4 using blunt attacks, but since Luffy avoided all of his strings, I think it's safe to assume they could hurt him. I presume if Cracker tried to punch Luffy, the soft-hard rubber would also counter it.
Strings did no damage to Luffy; They stalled him/tied him up/biuncedDoffy couldn’t hurt Luffy in G4; Not even with Haki because his Haki is weaker than Luffy’s
Did you forget Katakuri punched Boundman in his stomache & hurt him right….
Doffy’s kick didn’t work because his Haki was too weak…
I have seen you say this multiple times now. Especially the King Kong Gun nearly beating Cracker, but that was anime only I believe.
Do tell me if I am wrong though
No it happened in the manga also. KKG was about to wipe out the wave of soldiers & Cracker himself, but Luffy reached his limit:
Makes me wonder though, would Luffy have needed Nami's help if he came up with the plan much earlier?
and wtf is that chart? Whatever happened to "S rank, A rank, this tier, that tier?" on the left column??
Yeah, I think Alabasta Luffy could hurt Daz, but the problem would be the blades cutting/wounding his body parts before he does damage. CoA would prevent that because of the defense, as long as Daz doesn't have CoA or superior CoA.
I thought the steel/blade body was a conscious ability, like turning into smoke or gas.
How does haki affect devil fruit power? Does it negate it or just make it tangible? FOr example, if you hit Akainu while he's in magma mode, does it negate the area that the fist lands, or does haki just make it tangible and allows Akainu to get hurt even in magma mode?
If it's the latter, then I agree, you'd have to get past the hardness. If it negates the fruit power completely, then maybe not.
Glad you said something. Because visually that list is horrible & confusing ASF!
Nami’s help was a Hard counter for Cracker’s DF ability, made them Easily breakable, even edible. Idk how it plans out with Luffy failing 1st attemp, running for 10mins, then he’s back at Square 1, a wave of soldiers…Luffy would have to risk or be confident that next G4 transformation Cracker is going down; His enemies isn’t gonna let him run away Haki less twice;
Haki still has it mysteries & complications still ; Yes haki negates DF ability & No. IMO it’s some DF ability but not all.
Really confusing yes I know;
Vergo tried to block Law’s DF with haki/ My takeaway is that Law’s Haki was better.**ex of a character trying to negate an ability with haki
Law couldn’t move Big Mom Or Kaido inside a room; because their Haki was way too great…*Haki Passively Negating a DF ability.
Logia’s
Haki will allow you to hit them; Defend but not negate their ability.
Ex…Smoker vs Vergo; Vergo told him he’s foolish to use his smoke form; It just gave Vergo more surface area to hurt him.
Akainu’s magma form, Haki will allow you to hit him in magma form, however CoA is only providing minor defense from getting burnt; Haki cannot stop Akainu from turning into magma, or stop the magma from burning w/e it touches..Haki only allows you to resist the heat not negate.
IIRC this was explained in the Punk Hazard arc
They said, unlike sea stones, haki doesn't negate the powers of the devil fruit. It just allows you to hit DF users somehow
It kinda makes sense against Logia users, by basically damaging the "Essense".
I'm still not sure how haki allows Luffy to be damaged by physical attacks lmao. The guy is still rubber, you have to go through his rubbery body to damage him
Haki does negate some DF abilities. It’s all confusing and not explained thoroughly.
it’s been explained that Haki is the reason why Luffy received physical damage from ppl like Garp….Haki is ignoring his whole Rubber constitution & allow him to be hurt physically….
Same thing would happen to Buggy. If a Haki user cuts him, Buggy is bleeding; he’s not separating….
ah probably because CoA is hard enough to damage Luffy's rubber body. It seems as long as there's strength or hardness, it'll hurt Luffy.
But if true, then it's a difficult fight against Jozu and Daz without haki or weapon that can get past the defense.
I can show you Moria stomping on Luffy, with him receiving no damage…Luffy has never been hurt physically without haki…
I have a distaste for S/A/B/whatever tier lists. I'd rather something more abstract than concrete tiers. The squares just subtly separate the characters into roughly three basic "top tiers".
That’s fine. Glad I ain’t say it first. That list is visually horrible.
S/A/B are trash tier list, unless the story gives you such rankings…The D/E/F ranks would be huge ass hell with no big differentiation, as to what qualities separate the tiers
Fandom of One Piece tiers works best with Titles/ Position. We know Their are Titles/position in the One Piece World that sit above others, & majority of them are gained through strength.
