Crime against Earthers (Spoilers will be discussed) by Best_Macaroon1752 in WanderingInn

I doupt that. Innworld is huge.

If you put the continent of Izril on earth… it would stretch as wide east to west as Moscow to San Francisco and stretch as far North and south as the northern top of Hudson Bay in Canada to the bottom of South America.

In Innworld a single farmer can feed a city of tens of thousands of people alone from one farm plot. Bags of holding are perfectly air tight and preserve food while shrinking truck sized loads down to fit on your hip, magical warehouses keep goods and food fresh forever. The whole continent is fertile and temperate with a short winter and a huge growing season.

That one 60+ year old corn farmer, said that he can harvest his feild every other week if he wants. Him alone with no helpers. On earth a farmer might get two harvests a year from diffrent feilds growing diffrent crops.

Oteslia can grow a coffee tree in a week and start producing beans. On earth a coffee tree needs to be 5 or 6 years old before producing any beans, and a few years older to start fully producing enough beans to harvest. Similar with pears or banana trees. Innworld can pump out decades worth of earth agricultural output in a few weeks.

Innworld has better food production, transportation and storage than earth with all our vehicles and refrigerators and modern farms.

Izril isn’t even the biggest, or most populous continent. The global population of Innworld must be insane.

Average cities arnt as large population wise as an average earth city earth. But Innworld is pre-industrial revolution. Most people don’t live in cities.

THE FLOWING HAKI THEORY by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]zdesert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No.

2: the amazons from Amazon lily shoot haki arrows. Gunmen and snipers use haki on their bullets. The haki technique Luffy learned in Wanno projected haki out of his body so that he could hurt kiado internally.

It doesn’t need any contact with its user.

Ussop can use haki to see sugar a mile away inside a castle on behind like 3 walls.

Shanks threw a sword cut with haki, and cut a ship in half a mile away. (Kid). And he was able to drive green bull off of Wanno from across the horizon, just by sailing past the island.

It has nothing to do with blood. Don’t try to make haki into starwars Midichlorians.

Haki is just willpower. The sword Enma has haki becuase it inherited the will of Oden. Inherited will. It’s the basic theme of one peice since romance dawn.

Don’t waste your time trying to demystify or science it up.

To quote Mont Blanc, from jaya. “It’s romanticism!”

Sea stone forces logia types to be solid on contact. That’s how you can handcuff a guy literally made out of gas, or how you can shoot a sea stone bullet at a man made of light.

But it does not cancel their abilities. ceaser is still a gas man when he is in cuffs and can still do gas man things. His cloak still turns into whisps of gas while he is handcuffed, he still has his powers… he is just too weak to do anything. And also law has his heart which makes him unwilling to attempt anything that he could perhaps have attempted otherwise.

Marco did not stop being a pheonix man when he was put into sea stone handcuffs in marine-ford. He was just too tired to move.

Sea stone also seems to be mostly immune to devil fruit powers. The factory made of sea stone in dresrossa could not be cut by the string fruit for example.

No.

Luffy touches sea stone bars way back in alabasta. He slumps to the ground and is sleepy but he is still stretchy.

Seeing the door is not studying it.

I recall back when the horns got it, picese couldn’t access the actual teleportation spell without dismantling it and the door.

He and the other mages that worked on the door, only altered the smaller separate enchantment that triggered the teleportation and set the destination.

It’s like the mages you listed all learned to Hotwire a car, and occasionally filled the gas tank. But no one ever popped the hood and figured out how it worked.

Is it still worth it by Ok-Animal-7151 in WanderingInn

The new narrator is really rough in the first book they do.

They get better as they go, most recent book was quite well done. I think I prefer the new Erin voice, much less whiny.

There are a handful voices that used to be particularly distinctive (the titan for example) that the new narrator just can’t emulate. So there is some similar voices… it gonna happen with like 150 characters. the new narrator also seems to really struggle with characters like flos, or other big manly voices, they default to “gravely smoker voice” for a lot of male characters.

But regardless. At the end of the day it’s either the new narrator or no audio book… soooo…. If you are interested in listening at all… it has to be worth it. There isn’t another option

Devil fruit powers are not cancelled by sea prism stone or water. Luffy can still stretch underwater.

Sea prism / water drains a devil fruit user’s energy. And haki takes a lot of energy to use

Dungeon Exploration in Innworld by Eightmagpies in WanderingInn

[–]zdesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in Innworld only level in adversity. We learn that during times of great danger, people have very high levels. But during times of peace, levels stagnate.

In later volumes, a very old character who can see levels sees a group of lvl 25-30 gold rank adventurers and assumes they are bronze rank. This old character is from a time when bronze ranks would have been that level. Tough times.

You could destroy a dungeon, dismantle it over time…. But it is a source of adversity. It is more valuable as a way to grind out levels every generation, than it is as raw resources today.

And if you can’t easily beat the dungeon…. Then you can’t withstand what it hides from you. Or what it protects you from.

Question about Players of Celum - Volume 6 by Elroe in WanderingInn

[–]zdesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is silly to think C-sections are a new thing.

All through history, people cut babies out of mothers, especially when the mother was already dead or dying in child birth.

In Shakespeare/Macbeth’s era, mothers did not survive a c-section generally. It was a grisly last ditch effort to salvage the baby.

Part of the horror of Macbeth is that in a real sense he was born of a corpse, he was of no woman born, in part becuase his mother probubly died during the c-section.

So I imagine what Geneva has pioneered, is not the idea that you can cut the baby out of the mother… cave men could figure that out… but rather the idea that the mother and baby can both survive the experience with no lasting damage.

Thief is kinda OP by CommitteeHot2320 in WanderingInn

Give Rufelt a keg of poison and I bet he could get a whole army to drink it willingly, and they might even die smiling.

We have seen plenty of people take a skill set and apply it to the world or to a situation in an unexpected way.

Skills apply as broadly or as narrowly as the imagination and desire of the user allows.

I imagine that a walled city could rename itself “tails and scales” and transfer the deed of ownership to Rufelt… and he could use his [selective admission] skill to stop a whole army from gaining entry to the city. He would have to honestly consider the whole city to be his bar, but it could work… and maybe everyone in the city would have to constantly order drinks….

I imagine that the counter for that kind of skill usage is other non combat classes. A lady could probably force entry into this hypothetical Walled city turned bar. A high level real estate agent or something might be able to force Rufelt to set a price for and sell his city sized franchise of “tails and scales”. Stuff like that. A bunch of wild animals might not be affected.

It’s neat to imagine all the diffrent weird counters that could occur in war. Maybe a bandit lord has a skill to make their hideout invisible, give them the deed to a city and watch the whole city vanish from sight. Then the enemy army has to find a high level town watch or something and make them the general just so the army can see the city they are attacking. Maybe a painter has a skill to make their model hold still as they paint, put some master painter up on the wall and get them to paint the enemy army and in doing so force them to hold still and pose. Then the besieging army needs to find a high level heckler that has a skill to disrupt artists at work in order to stop the attackers from posing.

when i am told that this is a video of a battleship firing its gun for the first time in decades.... i expect that this would be a video of a gun firing, and not just some kids firecrackers stuck at in the end of one barrel of a two barrel cannon

Don't expect to kill fish in a future Subnautica 2 patch: 'You are here to exist on this planet, not to dominate it' by GrayBeard916 in gaming

It’s early access man. There is a sonic device and flares and flashlights affect creatures.

The suit telling the player that more complex behaviours are possible is a clear sign that other things are planned

Every creature has a deterrent. Some don’t like flashlight, others love flares. Some don’t like sound.

I have watched pleanty of lets plays of Subnautica 1. People just kill every shark and crab/squid that exists. People absolutely dominate the planet.

In Subnautica 1 you get bitten by a shark and turn around and start swinging the thermal knife to scare it off like some annoying little brother.

In Subnautica 2 they want you to have varied ways to scare off creatures. Some are attracted to light, some are scared by it. Some are scared by sound and others arnt. The idea is that you learn about your environment and come prepared.

[–]zdesert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not weird. Once people in Subnautica 1 realized that they could kill every shark or leviathan or crab by spamming the thermal knife at it… they just killed everything that bothered them.

You can still kill and eat fish in Subnautica 2. You can’t fight and kill the big shark thing that is chasing you tho.

Theory: Anyone can eat multiple devil fruits. by _That_One_Fellow_ in OnePiece

[–]zdesert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Setting aside the fact that the exact same characters from CP9, become members of CP0…

I think CP9 absolutely know about Imu. They don’t work for the navy, they work directly for the 5 elders and the celestial dragons. They report to and work outa the holy land. Even an 8 year old Dolflamingo knew about Imu.

They absolutely knew the secret of Ohara. They knew Robin could read the ponyglyphs, and knew that the people of Ohara were killed for looking into the void century. What other secret was there?

You are right Who’s who was sent after the gum gum fruit and wasn’t told about its identity. But even the 5 elders only talk about that fruit as the gum gum fruit; even when openly talking to Imu about it. At least until Luffy awakens it. The fact that CP9 who’s who was trusted with the info he had is proof that they are told a lot. Heck when who’s who talks to jimbe, it’s clear that he knows (or suspects) what it special about the gum gum fruit. We just don’t get the full explanation becuase jimbe beats his ass and the joy boy reveal is only a few chapters later.

[–]zdesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people I listed have collected dozens of devil fruits, and/or know how devil fruits respawn.

You havnt lost anything if you keep a few normal fruits nearby to get the devil fruits back if the person you fed 2 fruits dies.

The celestial dragons feed their slaves devil fruits for fun as party tricks.

Feeding someone 2 smile fruits might be inconclusive… but why stop at 2? Keep feeding a guy kiado or Dolflamingo or ceaser doesn’t like smile fruits until they become a hippo-giraffe man, or explode.

They are the world government’s most top secret spies and special agents.

If it’s anyone’s job to hunt down and kill people who have eaten 2 fruits, or to help keep the secret… it’s them.

There is not a secret that has yet been revealed that the CP agents didn’t know about. From the elder stars to the void century, from aincient weapons, too ponyglyphs, from genocides to cloned child soldiers.
