Why didn't Monet report to Doflamingo about Law hanging around Punk Hazard for what seemed to be quite a while. She knew he was there and him being a shikibukai she definitely would have known who he was.

Caeser already did and that's why Vergo was there. Caeser also gave Law's heart to Vergo. Vergo being there means DD already knew what was happening. So Monet did not need to report. Maybe DD was waiting for what Law will do, Dolfamingo knew that Law won't make a move on his own since Law will not win. Law also knew that and that's why he was waiting for someone like luffy to come.

It's still magical how a "room" allows him nearly total manipulation of the things within. Changing bodies with a snap of his fingers, yeah sure surgeons can do that. :P

Technically they can, it'd just take more time and equipment. Well, except the levitation...and the mind switching....

Stuff like Sanji not knowing DF users can swim but later says he read it in a book?
Sanji's attack, his leg literally is on fire.
Some other stuff like with Shanks not using haki against that fish that tried to eat Luffy... but that's because it was in the beginning and Oda didn't thought of haki, so it's not a plot hole really.
Pell surviving a nuke?

I'm sure there other stuff, but since the story is so big you need to big a HUGE fan to know all the details and stuff...

How is this a plot hole?
Idk thought of thinks that made no sense... it makes no sense how HE a normal HUMAN can produce fire just like that.

He's a cook, so his ability being related to fire makes sense in that regard. Basically all of his attacks have a cooking theme in French.
Poele à frire is "Frying Pan" for example.

I think we all get the symbolism behind his attacks... but again he's a normal human, he doesn't have a DF or anything like magic that can do that... I mean... whatever.

I don't know, it makes just as much sense as a normal human being capable of throwing cannon balls like baseballs, or normal human being capable of bisecting an entire ship with a sword, or normal human swimming from one ocean to another, showing no evidence of hypothermia afterwards and finding to time to beat up a giant sea monster while on the way.

Lol it isn't a plot hole though. eefrit has mentioned similar examples. You have others like mihawk sitting down to alter the course of bullets with a sword, or the fact that Zoro can even fight with the sword in his mouth and still has his teeth intact. Or 'kicking' the air to fly. You simply just can't try to rationalize things in OP world using standards of the real world. Sure some things may seem a bit more ridiculous than others but well, it's a weird world.

I will never get over the fact that a dude made of lava could walk over a frozen lake.

Haki feet. That's all I can think of.

Or the contact time wasn't enough to melt lava. He's not always in lava form anyway

It's not magical. Scientists create rooms where they can control what is happening, I am talking about atomic level. They do experiments and other stuff and they have total control over that room. They can create a Vaccuum room, so if u put a object in there it will float because there is no gravity. If there is another mass in that vaccuum both of the masses can attract to each other so they can even move. So it's not magical since it's possible in this world.

Law also has a room like this but has more of a control than the scientists does. As Oda said his countershock technique is used because he can control the electrons inside the room and use that electrical move. There are many other explanations for other techniques too. Just because we find it weird does not mean it is actually weird.

Yeah, but no, you really haven't found an argument against the body switch magic.

Argument? I was stating facts.

Body switch is shambles right? I did say that he could control anything in his room right? So that includes the space itself. So Law could rip a hole in space and teleport things. If Law can play with space then normal earthly physics no longer apply to anything he does and that's the reason you think that it is magic because we cannot grasp complicated situations.

His name is Law. In his room only his Law applies.

Law abilities have no scientific explanation at all. He would be more fit to Hogwarts than a laboratory. He bears no resemblance to real world surgeons, except on a metaphorical level.

A vaguely scientific explanation, like lighting attacks being the manipulation of electrons, doesn't make it any less magical. You could extend that logic to explain all the spells from Harry Potter. Or even real world pseudo-sciences, like homeopathy: vaccines allow our bodies to produce antibodies by introducing a pathogen, so a small amount of a chemical in the water makes it resistant against said chemical. Of course, the only problem with that logic is that water doesn't work like that. Similarly, electrons don't follow a person's will, they don't discharge without a chemical reaction, and Law own body would not be immune to the electricity generated.

Yes electrons does not listen to one at all but if u create a isolated room and do stuff to it then u can control where it goes. Like I said before, Law has absolute control over everything in his room so he can direct the electrons not with his mind but with something else that allows electrons move to a specific path. If he could control electrons with his mind as you said then he could do countershock over and over again with no difficulties.

Sure. :teehee

See, he can also teleport himself, another magical power, but keep on making it look realistic, while also talking about him room not following physics to begin with.

All Devil Fruits are magic without Oda ever calling them magic. And they stay magic until Vegapunk finally explains them to a degree.
