Is Marco near invincible with his Devil Fruit?

 

I thought this was common knowledge, but the more I discuss Marco these days the more I see how half the people have no clue how his power works.

So let’s break it down.

1) Marco’s regeneration has a limit.

This was confirmed by Oda in a SBS.

Question: Hello for the first time, Oda-sensei. I’ve read all the previous 57 volumes, and I was thinking, I don’t quite understand how “Phoenix Marco”‘s Zoan fruit of the “legendary beast” kind is different from Ace’s “Meramera” fruit. P.N. CNY

Oda: Yeah, I know… I’ve omitted the explanation from this war arc, because I focused on the pacing and wanted to move the story forward. To explain Marco’s ability just a little bit: he’s Zoan, so he does have a body. But since he’s got “the blue fire of revival” – the Phoenix’s ability – wounds will regenerate, so attacks will not damage him (though there’s a limit to the regeneration). In other words, the flames are for regeneration. These blue flames don’t have the characteristics of actual fire – they don’t spread and burn things, and they aren’t hot. They’re completely different from Ace’s flames. I might touch on this in the main story at some point, so I’ll leave it at this for now.The limit can also be shown by the fact that after MF during WB’s funeral Marco was wearing bandages, implying he had at least some injuries he could not heal with his powers because they had run out at that point.

2) Forget limbs, as long as his regeneration is available Marco can survive mortal wounds.

Example #1 – Kizaru turns him into a slice of swiss cheese, and blew off a part of his brain. 

Example #2 – A fodder puts a sword through his skull.

Example #3 – Queen almost detaches his head from the rest of his body.

 This is why Marco can basically stall anyone, including Admirals and Yonko. There isn’t much more that you can do when mortally wounding a guy doesn’t work. There are only two ways to deal with him:

– Remove his regeneration with seastone (like in Marineford) or with some hax powers (for example turning him into a toy with Sugar’s power)
– Keep wounding him so he needs to regen until he reaches his limit and can finally be killed (pretty much the standard strategy)

3) Is it really impossible to kill him while he has his regen?

Okay, there might be away. In DBZ, the way to kill Majin Bu is to simply wipe him out completely. Wipeout every atom of his body so that there is nothing that can start the regeneration process.

This might work, or maybe not because maybe Marco would regenerate even out of thin air, who knows. But the point is moot because there is no one who has shown the attack power to do anything close to that. Maybe a magma bath from Akainu could do that, but I doubt that it would be quick enough to kill Marco before his regen kicks in if Marco has freedom of movement.

So at the end of the day, as long as his regeneration is available Marco is basically immortal.

What Do You Think?

The Reason why Sanji has Conqueror’s Haki just like Zoro and Luffy!

By now y’all must be tired of seeing this same Sanji/Luffy Conqueror’s Haki thingy….

I think Sanji has a legitimate argument to be a Conqueror:

• 1-Sanji is clearly a natural-born leader. His crewmates aside from Luffy and Zoro naturally band under him and Groups are drawn to him and make themselves subordinate to him even when he doesn’t want it. Examples: flying fish riders refer to him as master and the G-5 marines (pirates' natural enemies) followed him around even when he didn’t want them to and directly followed his orders. The reason I think this is particularly important is that the only other characters in the story that have gained followers that they initially rejected have been Conquerors. Oden with the Scabbards, Zoro with Jonny, Yasuke, Yasuie, Luffy with the Grand Fleet, etc…

• 2-Sanji has on multiple occasions completely turned enemies to allies: G-5, Viola, Pudding, Kinemon. Mr.2, Gin, etc… and the latter were even completely ready to give up his life for Sanji out of sheer respect. The ability to command loyalty completely based on the content of your character seems to be a quality that has closely been linked with Conquerors in the story and has been most prominent with his captain Luffy.

• 3-Sanji definitely has a ridiculous level of willpower. He has some of the most insane endurance feats to date in the series and is easily among the most stubborn characters One Piece has. When his shadow was put in a zombie by Moria his zombie was completely insubordinate and was much stronger than the other zombies due to its weak body due to Sanji’s sheer willpower. He also has an extremely powerful and unwavering sense of character as even the physical and psychological abuse he experienced from his family as a child could not change his innate personality or his values.

• 4-Sanji comes from a royal bloodline that literally once conquered the entire North Blue. Several confirmed Conquerors have some kind of connection to royal positions and now Germa on top of that is a family of failed conquerors that lost their control. Judge designed his kids to be the perfect vessels to conquer and he considered Sanji a failure because of his personality. It would be a perfect irony and very Oda-like storytelling to make it clear that Sanji was the true conqueror all along due to the characteristics that his family considered him a failure for. The whole character arc with him not accepting his name and the raid suit will probably end with some sort of concrete payoff in the form of a new ability. It would make sense if it were Conquerors’ Haki. Oda specifically had Sanji compliment Momonosuke on the way he claimed his name and it definitely seems that Oda has plans for Sanji concerning accepting his heritage.

• 5-Sanji is definitely going to be a top-tier fighter at the end of the series. Conquerors often reach positions of higher status or regard and we now know that he will eventually be widely regarded as one of the Wings of the Pirate King. Strength is also a factor. No matter what anybody says that is clearly a title of stature (one he will share with the world’s greatest swordsman) that is largely strength-based. You can claim that the dynamic between Zoro and Sanji is just a character thing but you cannot claim the same for the Monster Trio as a group. The three of them have almost always entirely been grouped together when there is combat involved or to highlight their relative strength. Zoro and Sanji being Luffy’s wings mean that Sanji will have to have the ability to fight with the strongest on the seas. He will probably need Conqueror’s Haki to do that and would be much easier to write if he had it now that we know how it works.

My last point is addressing certain reasons why some people think it is impossible. One I hear often is that Conquerors need to have the drive to reach the top of the world or have the strength or status-based goals but this is clearly not true and there are several counter-examples for this. While both Whitebeard and Raleigh reached the top of the world, Whitebeard’s dream was to have a family and Rayleigh did not seem to have any ambitious goals he seemed to be very laid back from his introduction enjoying a good time and flirting with young ladies.

The next point I hear against it is the fact that it would make Conqueror’s Haki less special if more members of the crew have it but I think that is a fairly weak point as well. We know Roger’s crew had a minimum of four members with the potential to be king at once and Don Chinjao clearly said that when you get to the stronger parts of the world there are countless souls with the quality of king and the pirate king should stand above them. Honestly, that’s even more reason for the top members of Luffy’s crew to have it in my opinion.

The Biggest Weakness of the Beasts Pirates! The Biggest Weakness of the Beasts Pirates!

The Beasts Pirates lack any team synergy and they aren’t self-sufficient. Compared to the Straw Hats or the Big Mom Pirates, Kaido’s crew is very weak in those areas and that is their downfall in the raid.

Team synergy is vital for a normal crew in the New World. For the Beasts Pirates, there is almost none, with the exception of Ulti and Page One (and that’s only of familial bonds). In order to advance ranks within the crew, you can challenge any of the Calamities if you are a Tobiroppo, or you can become a Tobiroppo if you are a strong enough Headliner.

This causes discourse between the crew and rivalries can erupt, which why the Tobiroppo don’t work together usually (except Ulti and Page One) and only look out for themselves in their own groups. This is also seen through the Calamities with Queen and King usually bickering, but unlike Zoro and Sanji, they can’t put their differences aside in order to fight a bigger problem (such as when Big Mom first came to Wano).

The Beasts Pirates, to me, are the most dysfunctional crew in the entire series. They aren’t self-sufficient like the Big Mom Pirates are without Charlotte Linlin. Without Kaido giving them commands, this entire crew collapses from the inside out. There isn’t really a second leader that’ll give them commands like you have with Katakuri/Perospero with the BM Pirates or Zoro/Sanji with the Straw Hats. For example, Queen would be a terrible second leader because of the whole Ice Oni business, and King kinda just keeps to himself and only acts if there is a big problem on the horizon. The Tobiroppo don’t really care unless there is a prize, such as finding Yamato to fight an All-Star.

The only thing that the Beasts Pirates have is the fear of Kaido. But, to the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, fear means nothing to them as they put their lives the line already.

TOP 8 One Piece Characters Who Can Defeat A Yonko

 #8 – Shiki the Golden Lion

Shiki is the Admiral of the Golden Lion Pirates.
Alongside Roger and Whitebeard, Shiki is one of the most powerful pirates of his generation. He has tremendous physical strength supplemented with his supreme sword skills, allowing him to slay an army of Marines at Marineford, and it took the combined efforts of both Garp and Sengoku to subdue him with the conclusion of their fight leaving half of Marineford destroyed.

#7 – Kong

Kong is the World Government Commander-in-Chief. He was the Fleet Admiral of the Marines at the time of the Battle in Edd War twenty-seven years ago and at the time of Gol D. Roger’s execution twenty-four years ago.
Due to his muscles, his former rank in the Marines, and his numerous scars, he could be considered as one of the strongest marines ever, however he still has yet to reveal his powers in the series.

#6 – Dracule Mihawk

Mihawk is the current holder of the title, “Greatest Swordsman in the World”.
Part of Mihawk’s reputation as the most powerful master swordsman in the world is also due to his tremendous superhuman physical power and fortitude which supplements his mastery of swordsmanship. He possesses an immense amount of skill in battle and has exceptional eyesight.
The fact that Mihawk used to be a rival of one of the Yonko implies that Mihawk might be one of the strongest characters in the series. In fact he has been known to have frequently fought with Shanks when they were younger.

#5 – Silvers Rayleigh

“Dark King” Silvers Rayleigh is the former first mate of the Roger Pirates, known as the “Right Hand of the Pirate King”. He’s extremely powerful, easily one of the strongest characters introduced.
Shakky vouches for his strength by saying that he is “100 times stronger than all of you boys”, referring to the Eleven Supernovas.
Furthermore, when Garp was informed Rayleigh may be on Sabaody Archipelago, he told his men not to confront him, he reasoned that the Marines should not confront two legends, Whitebeard and Rayleigh at the same time.
Due to his phenomenal strength, he was able to fight Admiral Kizaru equally and he even managed to scratch the admiral.

#4 – Sengoku the Buddha

Sengoku was the fleet admiral of the Marines pre-time skip, succeeding Kong, and preceding Akainu. He was also one of the major figures along with Whitebeard, Shiki, and Monkey D. Garp during the times when Gol D. Roger was still alive, and still continues to be in the present, even after his retirement from the Marines.
Even without his Devil Fruit powers, Sengoku has great strength and speed; he is also shown to have a strong will as he was able to resist Luffy’s unconscious burst of Haoshoku Haki. Sengoku is one of a very small number of people who can use all three types of Haki: Kenbunshoku, Busoshoku, and Haoshoku.
Sengoku ate the “Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu”, a rarer-than-Logia Mythical Zoan-class Devil Fruit which allows him to turn into a gigantic Daibutsu. This ability gives him a massive power boost to his already impressive strength, enough to cause the execution stand to collapse in one indirectly connecting punch, despite the combined effort of Luffy’s Gear Third and Mr. 3’s Candle Wall to absorb the attack. He can also launch an explosive shock wave with a palm thrust, enough to send a majority of the Blackbeard Pirates flying a fair distance.

#3 – Monkey D. Garp

Garp is one of the most powerful characters seen in the series so far. Alongside Roger, he fought and prevailed against the very powerful Rocks Pirates led by the most dangerous and strongest pirate of their time Rocks D. Xebec, earning him the epithet of “Hero of the Marines”.
He is known for cornering and fighting Gol D. Roger many times. Roger also stated that he and Garp had almost killed each other on numerous occasions. As another true testament of sheer power, Garp defeated and nearly killed Don Chinjao in the past with a single punch, whose bounty was worth over 500,000,000 Berries in his prime and was said to be able to split a continent with a headbutt.

#2 – Akainu

Akainu possesses the Magu Magu no Mi, a Logia-class Devil Fruit which grants him the ability to transform his body into magma and manipulate it at will, as well as produce near-limitless amounts of it. His ability is naturally of a higher order than Ace’s pyrokinetic abilities, as the higher heat and smothering abilities of his magma allowed him to successfully harm Ace despite Ace’s Logia-defense, and ultimately kill Ace due to this superiority. During the decisive ten-day battle on Punk Hazard for the position of fleet admiral, Akainu showed the furious power of his Devil Fruit as he changed the weather of one side of Punk Hazard and left it in ablaze. His Devil Fruit also boasts the highest offensive power amongst all the Devil Fruits.

#1 – Monkey D. Dragon

Monkey D. Dragon is the infamous leader of the Revolutionary Army. He is the World Government’s greatest enemy and is the most dangerous and most wanted man in the world.
Dragon is already a powerful threat in his own right, as well as having powerful subordinates such as Sabo, Ivankov, Bartholomew Kuma, and Inazuma who are in comparison, lower in rank. This only speaks volumes of his true power.
Dragon has been shown to control the air and even lightning, just whether in general. He probably has the strongest Zoan Devil Fruit in the series.

Luffy’s Awakening – Stretch Time and Space?

So imagine he winds up a Gomu Gomu Pistol, but he also stretches the space between him and his opponent to be miles long so he’s just a speck in the distance, and also the space his arm occupies so that his fist is oceans away. And then all at once, he collapses it all down, so crack and he’s back in your face and cracks his fist is slamming into you.

So pretty much it would be a way for him to punch someone really, really hard.
Like imagine to finish off Kaido, Luffy stretches his fist all the way back to East Blue with this technique before launching him to the freaking moon to chill with Enel.

It could also get interesting if he stretches time similarly to get like a sonic boom effect on his punches. Might be hard to represent visually but I think it could be pretty cool. I personally don’t love the “everything is a bouncy house” concept of his awakening, although it does fit the goofy theme.

Monkey D. Dragon is Descendent of the Shandia Tribe

 

Dragon’s reasons behind his hatred for the Government have never been explained nor mentioned so far in the manga. Some believe Dragon hates the Government because of the nasty things they – and the Celestial Dragons – do from time to time over the world.

If that’s really the only reason, what about the pirates though? Many pirates are evil to the core and also do terrible things in the world of One Piece. Arlong wrecking havock in East Blue, Crocodile involvement during the Alabasta events, Blackbeard pillaging Drum Islands, Doflamingo being one of the worst evil mastermind in the whole One Piece universe…

If malevolent acts from the Government are the real reasons behind Dragon’s hatred for them, why doesn’t he also hate the pirates for doing despicable things too? Isn’t it because the reasons for Dragon’s hatred toward the World Government and the Celestial Dragons have deeper roots?

I think his tattoo might be the key to understand his personal reasons.

I have one question for you: Why did Dragon decide to wear a tattoo on his face at one point of his life? Do you think it’s because it makes him look cool? Judging by who he is and how stern/serious/cold-blooded he is, it’s probably not the case. The tattoo might have an actual meaning.

In Chapter O, Oda decided to show us that Dragon didn’t always have his tattoo on his face. The only moment we see Dragon without his tattoo is before he started his Revolutionary movement. Why? Because it’s another hint from Oda that his tattoo is important to him. It clearly implies that Dragon’s tattoo is related to his fight against the World Government and the nobles.

What this tattoo means?

it’s actually a Shandia tattoo. Outside of Dragon himself, there are only two major characters with similar tattoos in the One Piece universe: Calgara and Wiper.

Bear in mind that Wiper’s and Calgara’s tattoos are quite different, despite them coming from the same tribe.

I think Dragon’s tattoo refers to his ancestors. He is of Shandia origin.

There are strong chances that Dragon learned what did happen during the Void Century and he also probably learned the origin of the D. Clan at some point. He learned – a part of – the story, was disgusted by what the Twenty Kingdoms presumably did to his ancestors, and decided to mark his face permanently before choosing to fight back and take revenge for his people.

How Kid will unlock Advanced Conqueror’s Haki against Big Mom!

 

A quick breakdown of Armament Haki levels:

• Basic – Harden the skin
• Intermediate – Flow Haki outside the body
• Advanced – Penetrate others with Haki and cause internal destruction

Now in Kid’s case, it is safe to say he has at least mastered the basic level of Armament Haki and he can control Conqueror’s Haki. With him fighting Big Mom, I believe coating himself with Conqueror’s Haki will be pivotal but I don’t see him mastering the advanced stages of Armament Haki so quick.

One of the things I liked about the fight with the Emperors is that each of the Supernovas had their own methods of hurting them. I believe this will continue to other aspects such as coating attacks with Conqueror’s Haki.

So how will Eustass Kid learn to Coat himself with Conqueror’s Haki?

The answer is his Devil Fruit. We have yet to know the full extent of his Devil Fruit ability but we know it’s related to magnetism. I believe it will be fully introduced when Kid uses it for Conqueror’s Haki. The latest chapter has already given us a clue: Kid makes his entrance when Big Mom is using an electromagnetic attack.

A maser canon is an electromagnetic weapon. A maser is electromagnetism.

So in short, Kid will create a magnetic field that will act as a foundation for Conqueror’s Haki to be coated on top of, this will essentially be the replacement for the Advanced Armament Haki.

Furthermore, I believe Whitebeard had a similar approach where he used a quake bubble as the foundation. This will also be an interesting parallel with Kid being the next Whitebeard and Luffy being Roger.

Why Nico Robin has the most undervalued bounty among the Straw Hats!

Why Nico Robin doesn’t have an above 1 Billion Berries bounty and she only has a 130,000,000 Berries bounty?

1- Robin has a powerful devil fruit

2- She’s part of the “5th Yonkos” crew

3- She was involved with the Revolutionaries for two years.

4- She escaped Enies Lobby

5- She is the only person that can read the Poneglyphs which means:

-She can find out about the Void Century that the World Government is trying hard to hide;
-She can find where Laugh Tale is which is what the Marines don’t want.

At this point, keeping her bounty low is an excellent move by the World Government.

Remember, the public doesn’t know anything about Nico Robin. The reason she got her first bounty of 79,000,000 was because she escaped Ohara, yes, but the World Government reported it using the fact that “she sunk 7 battleships” as justifications for her bounty.

For an 8 year old girl on the run, this raises eyebrows and let the masses know that she’s dangerous. Then she disappeared for 20 years and resurfaced in Alabasta after Smoker confirmed her whereabouts. Aokiji verified this info and the events of Enies Lobby unfolded.

So keeping her bounty low hides the fact that she’s secretly super important, and prevents her from being singled out by common bounty hunters.
