@MP As of late when it comes to the Death battle, the person who loses is often the one that gives a reason for the winner to engage in fighting like Rock Lee insulting Sanji's curry, or Venom trying to get the jump on Crona.

Blackbeard has used this ability to suck in all the buildings in a small city and spat them back out demonstrated in his fight with Ace. In his clash against with Whitebeard, regular soldiers got absorbed by his darkness but it wasn't enough to suck down Whitebeard in his weakened state but it was also made to also prevent any use of Whitebeard's ability to use earthquakes.

[@yesimnotcreative6312]

@@DeepSix-m8l The reason I would root for K.Rool more is because I think while Blackbeard has better abilities, he has the bigger weakness. Even though I will always admit that Blackbeard is faster, from what I have seen he never seems to use that to his advantage more reactionary speed than I have seen him running. Also that "defense nullification" you mentioned has worked only for other Devil Fruit users, meaning for characters without Devil Fruit powers it wouldn't work. That nullification is the reason why he got the leg up on Ace and Whitebeard in their fights, but it wouldn't be the same for K.Rool. Strength really comes down to opinion honestly. For K.Rool we kind of have to directly scale him to DK. From every game that K.Rool and DK has been a part of, K.Rool has always been either similar or above DK in strength which as you know, punched down a small moon the size of DK Island. What also helps K.Rool is that he has fought and beaten DK *twice* and defeated Diddy Kong the second time around. Also K.Rool has been able to uppercut Chunky Kong into the air while he is in his giant form, and Chunky is a literal TON in weight when he isn't a giant. For Blackbeard in terms of strength, the Quake Quake Fruit is *very* close in power to the moon punch DK pulled off but just falls slightly short imo. For durability, I want to give to K.Rool being that he took hits from DK (obviously), survived Crocodile Isle's energy core explosion and the entire isle sinking on top of him AFTER fall off from the very top on the island. Unfortunately, Blackbeard's Dark Dark Fruit makes him take more damage after each use so say Blackbeard keeps using the Dark Dark Fruit because of K.Rool's constant pool of projectiles, the biggest punch the K.Rool could pull off would do *twice* the damage. I know that Blackbeard can take hits from Luffy but I doubt that he would survive a hit equivalent to the Moon Punch feat 2x (if we directly scale K.Rool to the current DK) Sorry that was so long but I firmly believe that K.Rool beats Blackbeard even if Blackbeard has the better abilities, i believe that K.Rool is the stronger and tougher opponent of the 2 while Blackbeard is faster and has better abilities (I don't think speed would matter much here tbh)

K.rool also doesn’t possess anything that could count as Devil fruit power so Blackbeard can’t nullify anything He hasn’t shown the same power as Whitebeard having the Tremor tremor fruit And finally Assuming it takes place in the open seas, Blackbeard can’t swim while K rool can Blackbeard might have speed but its not always a winning factor

Monkey D. Luffy of One Piece sports a rather blatant form of Plot Armor, to the point where it may very well be a plot point. The same goes for the rest of the Straw Hat Crew, especially Zoro. For example: When Luffy was exhausted to the point of no longer being able to move and under the danger of being nuked to hell, his severely damaged and barely functioning ship that had been abandoned days prior on another island drifted to his location at that exact moment and his crewmates were able to throw him on and escape. This level of plot armor extends beyond blind luck too; no matter how strong the enemies are, nothing will ever kill one of the Straw Hats. The crew's sharpshooter Usopp, described by Word of God as being supposedly only as strong as a normal person, was able to be smashed by a 4-ton bat and dragged along the ground at 40 miles an hour and live. Truly, the Straw Hats' "limits" are at the complete whim of the plot. They can withstand anything short of being completely obliterated and any attack capable of doing that will simply not touch them for one reason or another. Of course, the series is known for "No One Dies in One Piece" because every character outside of a Flashback showed this sort of durability, for the whole series.

The Ultimate Mary Sue: Luffy Character Development: Nonexistent. Luffy is a completely one dimensional character He constantly recklessly puts his teammates in danger He is still challenging admirals and now even emperors recklessly He is still refusing to negotiate with others. No signs of him sympathising or negotiating with enemies. Bellamy wasn't an enemy. He got one shot and was more of a minor annoyance same as Buggy. Bege and Law were just fellow pirate crews with different morals. Smoker even helped Luffy a few times and Luffy liked Smoker from the beginning. Nothing new there. The Utimate Mary Sue Power Up: As shown in the War of Marineford, Luffy can make friends out of anyone. Power Ups: Make no sense. Second Gear: He somehow learns an advanced version of Soru for Second Gear with no explanation of how, when or why. He just gets second Gear just because Third Gear: He has Third Gear just because. Nightmare Luffy : Which completely breaks the lore of One Piece and because Luffy is a one dimensional mary sue Fourth Gear : Through infinite plot armor an just because. Snakeman : Through power of friendship and just because. Advanced haki : Through shitty writing and because an old man said he had it all along.

Another quote from a former One Piece fan I met. One Piece is one of the longest running battle anime/manga, and holy fucking hell, this steaming pile of pure dogshit should have been canceled on the first chapter. First off it’s slow. And don’t try to say “iTs BeCaUsE oF tHe WoRlD bUiLdInG” cause it’s not. About half of a regular OP episode is then just standing around looking at each other with a different OST playing every few minutes. Then when something does happen it’s either A. A poor excuse at humor to make it seem like something is happening B. Something actually relevant to the plot, which is very rare or C. The rarest of the choices, a fight. And these aren’t your regular anime fights with nice animation and good choreography, no the OP animation budget drops to $5 when they need to animate a fight, and choreography? Well I’d know if it was good if they threw a punch instead of just looking at each other and maybe talking. Then what really gets me is that people want to say they watch OP for the story! I’m sorry that’s just fucking hilarious cause I don’t know how tf you got passed the first like 10 arcs. They had the most dogshit ass story ever. They were slow, boring, and just straight up depressing because of how fucking annoying they are. And even after that you think you’d get something new, something with a different formula then The last what, 20 arcs. It’s always the same formula, Strawhats go to island, Strawhats meet people, people need help, Strawhats meet bad guy, strawhats beat bad guy solving people’s problem. That’s the formula for just about every arc in OP. And don’t even try to say it’s for the characters, Luffy of your basic hungry and stupid MC. Zoro is your basic cool guy. Hancock is your basic hot girl. Usop is your basic comic relief character. Everything in One Piece is garbage. And you can be mad at me all you want but at the end of the day imma still find OP to be dogshit.

[@jasonwhite4494]

Even One Piece fans admit the main characters of One Piece are garbage. They’re poorly written, static, gag ridden trash that have barely any character development over 900+ chapters,which is appalling for a series this long. I’ll go over each of my problems with them: Plotffy: Where do I start. Generic shounen MC with barely any originality. He’s the spitting imagine of Roger, has a similar personality to him and even wears his hat. He’s turning more into a Goku wannabe post TS e.g. haki “blooming in extreme situations” just like zenkai. He’s just your average shounen, happy go lucky, food loving idiot Luffy has no character development in terms of progression. He’s still recklessly impulsive and makes the same dumb decisions he did pre TS. Luffy really should have matured more after Ace’s death. Luffy beating Crocodile, Lucci, Doffy, Cracker and Katakuri weren’t because he was necessarily stronger, but because the plot required he did. Oda had to either dumb down or nerf his opponents just to make his win more acceptable. Luffy Vs Katakuri was arguably the worst offender of this. Zoro: He somewhat became more serious, however his personality isn’t as balanced as it was pre TS. The struggle within his fights played a big part characterising his character and without it he’s nothing. Now he’s just a bland, one dimensional, typical badass that turned into a poor man’s Guts over the timeskip. Better yet, a more accurate description is he’s become a try hard, Mihawk clone. Nami: She started as a useful, important member of the crew. She’s rather static for the rest of the series. Most of the time she’s just an annoying, bossy, over emotional bitch that’s used as a “damsel in distress” like most female Op characters. Her boobs grew too much over the timeskip and she’s used as fanservice all the damn time. Nami post TS is basically Orihime 2.0. Usopp: Poorly written, inconsistent character. Usopp has signs of bravery nearly every arc, only for him to regress back into a bitch the next arc. His character was ruined the most because of Op’s long term storytelling. I can already imagine Oda continuing this form of development until the final arc where he conveniently stops acting like a pussy. Most of his fights are won out of comedy e.g. Perona, Sugar. Usopp is not relatable nor is he the most human out of the crew, that ship sailed the minute Oda’s dumbass had him perform superhuman feats like tanking a 4 ton bat. He’s just a pussy that hasn’t changed at all. Usopp leaving Robin to run away is still the lowest moment of his character. Sanji: The perverted (borderline sexist) love cook. These days he’s become a giant meme in the fandom, which is understandable. Sanji’s so fodder and takes so much Ls that it’s even debatable if he’s still in he monster trio, that’s how low his character has fallen. His oversensitive fanboys overhype every little feat he shows e.g. Sanji cheap shotting Bobbin and Oven and the other half of the fandom just spend their time nitpicking on his character over every little thing. Sanji has no character progression. WCI focused a lot on Sanji, but it felt like Oda was trying to recapture Robin's character arc but handled it poorly. Most of the arc shows him acting out of character e.g. mopping around, crying and acting like a bitch. You would think he would have had learnt from the events with Robin to have more faith in his crew but nope. His “I want to return to the Sunny!” was the most bootleg Robin speech ever. It lacked the same emotional build up as hers’ and just fell flat, in fact it was hilarious if anything. Back to Sanji’s character arc, after everything Sanji experienced e.g. being confronted by his past and family, his character didn’t have any meaningful development. Sanji didn’t learn or grow in any real way, his personality and morals are exactly the same because they were never properly challenged. His character is basically the same it’s been since day 1. It baffles me that most of the fanbase seem to care more about Sanji’s W/Ls and whether he’ll wear the raid suit than his lack of development, but whatever. Sanji’s character lost me when he put his own morals above saving Robin in Enies Lobby. He was cemented as trash when Oda decided to dial up his nosebleed gag to 100. His gags are by far the worst in the series. The fact it was used as a actual plot point in Fishman Island was a joke. Chopper: Objectively worst strawhat. Chopper used to be the cute, useful doctor of the crew but then Oda flanderized him after the timeskip. Now he’s just the awful mascot of the crew used to sell merchandise. His design is lame. His forms are garbage. Chopper barely uses any of his other points besides Kung fu point (terrible design) and Monster point. MP in his uncontrolled version used to be beastly, but ever since he did that stupid dance post TS it went downhill. Now it’s just laughably weak that even giant kids neg him. Also, the 3 mins time limit is a joke. What happened to arm point? Cloven style? Scanning for weaknesses with brain point? Why doesn’t he use heavy and horn points? It’s as if Chopper had better control over his df pre TS. Not to mention, Chopper is criminally underutilised (along with Robin). The only note worthy thing he did in WCI was capture Bruluee, but that wasn’t enough to redeem him. Chopper’s by far the biggest letdown post timeskip. His development is bare bones at best, just a offhand line of him not minding being a monster if it’s to help Luffy become PK. Franky: Right now all he serves is this soppy, cyborg who loves screaming “SUPERRR!!” while he does his stupid pose every 5 mins. His fight with Senor pink weren’t that good, the only decent thing to come out of it was Senor Pink’s backstory Robin: Bland and useless. Robin doesn’t talk, she doesn’t fight, she doesn’t have any real interesting character interactions with the rest of the crew, she doesn’t have that much screentime, she doesn’t have many memorable contributions each arc, Robin’s just there... Poor Robin’s only 1v1 fight is in Skypiea and besides that she’s stuck on fodder control. She isn’t even a character anymore, just a plot device. All she’s good for is reading poneglyphs and giving exposition from time to time. Brook: Probably my least favourite because he never was a character, just a walking gag. 90% of his dialogue is skull/ panty jokes or “YOHOHOHO”. His jokes aren’t funny, they got old real quick. He doesn’t have as much interesting character interactions with the rest of crew seeing as he joined so late. He’s useless in fights and they’re boring as hell since it’s just him blitzing his opponent. Brook’s got no development and barely contributed every arc (Brook getting some shine in WCI doesn’t change the fact he’s been useless for 4 straight arcs). Pointless character

even hardcore one piece fans admit oda is spineless "My point is that it can't cower away from death even when the story demands it, and can't continue to death-bait us) This one is a bit of a complaint, but I'm sure a lot of the fanbase is having problems with this as well. Oda can't kill, and the story suffers from it. Even when characters clearly die, Oda makes them somehow not die. Sure, characters in backstories die, so do characters who explicitly state their eventual death (Ace, maybe Pedro, etc). I remember finishing Alabasta and being overwhelmed with emotion - it's truly a masterpiece. Pell's sacrifice was so impactful, and really drove home to everyone that the Grand Line was not just a game, but a place where sacrifices were made and lives were lost... And then it wasn't. In one fell swoop (pun intended) Oda overwrote the climax of the Alabasta arc by, for some inexplicable reason, contriving Pell's survival from what was effectively a point blank nuclear blast. And suddenly the climax of the story was invalidated, and no narrative purpose was achieved by saving Pell. The opposite, in fact. He should have died, and I tend to ignore his presence in the current chapters to save the dignity of Alabasta. Remember the tragedy of (one of my all time favorite characters) Bon Clay? Remember how Magellan literally sentenced him to execution, asked for last words, and struck with his corrosive poison? The climax of the arc being his noble sacrifice that would cement the legacy of his character and drive Luffy forward? Nope! Oda overwrote that and made that whole moment obsolete. He didn't sacrifice anything, your tears were wasted. Remember SMILEY, and the suspense of soldiers being taken by it one by one as it inched closer to our heroes? Nope, nothing to worry about after all. What about Pekoms? He was machine gunned with hundreds of rounds, then shot in the head, then fell off off a cliff into shark infested water, handcuffed. This could have presented a very interesting narrative point where Capone's loyalty and the morality of allying with him is very much a conflict, but instead we get a miraculous save yet again for Pekoms that does nothing. Remember Charlotte Mascato? Who had his life taken by Big Mom's rage, was pronounced dead, and was carried away to be disposed of? Magically alive, lessening Big Mom's threat. There are many other examples...but the point is that it has become very difficult to take One Piece's perilous situations seriously, because even minor characters are invincible. I've really struggled to feel suspense recently because I know Oda won't actually commit to characters dying. Pedro's sacrifice, for instance, can we really believe it given all the other "sacrifices" that came before? It's hard to feel sad for his death when you can't be sure it even happened. I hope Oda learns to kill characters when necessary in the future, because as it stands, we have no reason to take the perils of the New World too seriously. It seems like he might be learning, as it seems like King Baum and Pound really did lose their lives. If they did, we can see just how dangerous the Yonko are, but if they come back, again, we really have no reason to be invested or concerned All Canon One Piece Characters (1053) Male Characters (837) Female Characters (216) One Piece Deaths (88) Less than 10% of One Piece massive cast of Characters actually die.
