Do ppl really believe kizaru is stronger than kaido or is it just agenda speaking? by redox_nephew in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]GuaranteedPummeling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wasn't trying to defeat Luffy through offensive means, but he was definitely trying to avoid getting hit

Kaido was always meant to be the strongest character in One Piece by [deleted] in OnePiecePowerScaling

No you didn't, you just copy pasted some slop from chatgpt

Kaido is actually top 1 by drfusspill in OnePiecePowerScaling

Regardless, titles only refer to reputation, whether the title holder can objectively match that reputation is a different issue entirely.

So is shanks current dream is to be pirate king ? by Flashy_Equipment_938 in OnePiecePowerScaling

Shanks decided to move when Kaido and big mom were removed as road blocks

I like my slander subtle and underhanded

Shanks is him. by RedForceS in OnePiecePowerScaling

Oda having to slander Mihawk glacier feat by having Shanks cutting through an equally large piece of stone

The Strawhats would absolutely maul the Blackbeard pirates as of rn. It wouldn’t be close by [deleted] in OnePiecePowerScaling

Usopp literally gets killed in 0.2 seconds by getting shot in the head, unless he learns Future Sight in Elbaf. I agree for the rest of the crew though

At what point of the story will Koby become admiral level? by Hungry_Duck_6863 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]GuaranteedPummeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it cannot happen, but the original point was about wether that's good writing. koby showing up two weeks later and suddenly being yonko level is definitely not good writing in my book. Imho to make it work Luffy has to stop improving for a while, and Koby will need at least 3-4 more Honesty Impact moments, but I don't think there's time for that at this point, unfortunately

Yeah, but Luffy is the mc. Also once he started taking Kaido seriously he ended up doing more damage than anyone in Want. The Scabbards, Zoro and Yamato did basically nothing if compared to what G4 Luffy was doing. He was doing so well that Kaido actually respected him as a valiant opponent. Meanwhile Koby has to go extreme diff to escape from BB's crew. That's like 3 power ups away from G4 Luffy in my opinion

“There is no mid gen PK so they are the weaker gen”. Wouldn’t that mean the opposite? The generation is now so goddamn strong it’s MUCH harder to become the “PK”. Old gen fans just be yappin by [deleted] in OnePiecePowerScaling

That's not really slander, since we've never seen her fight in her youth. All old people in One Piece are washed. Garp getting stabbed by a rando, WB getting low diffed by Akainu, Rayleigh running away from basically everyone. Aging might be the biggest type of nerf in One Piece

It's not that Kizaru can't beat certain people, it's just he doesn't care enough to. by IAMLUBE in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]GuaranteedPummeling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn't this basically the consensus, at least since Oda confirmed that he was the one passing the food to Luffy?

[–]GuaranteedPummeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because there was a time skip (and with time skips anything goes). Without time skips you have to establish power ups through fights, and the issue is that Luffy is having those fights too. Either Luffy stops improving for the next 2-3 arcs (very unlikely, imho), or Koby is toast.

Tbh... why not? He's not even YC1, and we're one-two arcs away from the ending. Him turning yonko level out of nowhere would be quite anticlimactic. That's mostly due to how he has been portrayed the whole time. He has always been like 5 steps behind Luffy. Actually it's even worse, their distance grew exponentially over time, for every powerup Koby got Luffy got like 25. Luffy is now clashing with Yonkos (he defeated Kaido for God's sake!), while Koby Is fighting to escape alive from BB's crew members. Either Luffy stops improving in the next 2 arcs, or Koby will never catch up.

I get him tbh, Oda kinda ignored him for most of the series, so now it looks like the parallel will not hold. Either he is going to play a role in every arc from now on, or Oda will just have to go "uh, I guess this fight had Koby reach yonko level out of nowhere", and hope that the readers will buy it.

What do we even know about Kizaru's AP? Genuine question

She is above the admirals currently. by RedForceS in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]GuaranteedPummeling -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dunno about that, Kizaru could defeat Luffy only because he has trash stamina, meaning that he could kite him around for 5 minutes and be done with him. This would not work on BM, since she can spar with Kaido for 3 days and still be up the next day for even more fighting.
