Fusion X. Denver Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 [spoiler=Thoughts]I laughed when Garp and Luffy punched Chinjao in the head. Especially during Luffy's, that's just ridiculously funny.I thought Luffy was gonna do something cool when he said, "Thor", but an Elephant Gun's okay too...

Tentacruel Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 That was a good way to end the fight. That Chinjou guy was a legit pirate. I completely missed the 900 years ago part, I'm really excited now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 PfffthahaHAHAHAHA (I think Chin's grudge is completely justified seeing that memory. Also he knew BlackBeard?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shin~ Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Calling it now, next cover story will be about Chinjao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Calling it now, next cover story will be about Chinjao. Well, maybe when this arc ends. Next one will likely have something to do with Punk Hazard. Anyway, its going to be fun seeing how Chinjao reacts next time he sees Luffy. Also, how has no one figured out its Luffy yet? He is using his powers. I get growing his arm isn't a dead give away, but he was stretching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfroDragon Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Well I can see how people wouldn't recognize him as Luffy. No one's seen him use his powers in 2 years, and alongside that, even his own crew has noted how different his Gear 3rd looks from how it used to.

I would at least think people would know thats his power. And when did they ever say his Gear 3 changed? The only difference is that he no longer goes chibi after using it.

Shradow Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Well, also he focuses the inflation better for stronger attacks, like with his Elephant Gun. Also, to change the subject, I think Chopper is my favorite of the Straw Hats. I just like his character development the most; Pre-timeskip he wanted to be human to have friends, but post-timeskip he's come to terms with the monster that he is, and he's embracing it in order to protect them. It does help that now he's a proper badass. Hard to say if he's out of the weakling trio or not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they are more than powerful enough to take down higher ups in other crews. If I were to rank the 9 I'd say itsLuffyZoroSanjiFrankyRobinBrookChopperNamiUsopp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah, that's what I would say as well, I'm just torn between Chopper and Brook, really. Also, his post-timeskip Horn Point is adorable and awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord200 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't know. I always saw Robin being stronger than Franky. Nami COULD become stronger than Chopper. It wouldn't take much. I mean look at her. She's able to beep the tar out of Luffy if she wants. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPf4ELlkWoU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 For me, the deciding factor between Robin and Franky is Also, I wonder how well Franky Shogun would do against Robin's Mil Fleur attacks. And Nami beating the tar out of guys like Luffy and Zoro is just for comedic effect, since she "hurts their spirits", according to Oda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think Franky can take Robin now just because he's more of a cyborg in his upper half and it'd be harder to restrict his movements. But Robin can also make giant hands now...Hrm.I think it could go either way, but I'll give it to Franky because he has a much bigger diversity in his fighting style.

Shradow Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's really down to strength vs technique between those two. Robin could overpower him with her DF powers, but if Franky could get in close and attack directly, he'd probably wreck her. EDIT: Oh wait... Hm...

King of Games Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 ^Never stood a chance Franky has more destructive power, while Robin controls the flow of a fight/can easily target weak points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I wonder if he has armored speedos or an iron cup or something after that incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm wondering if his back is still un-robotic. It wasnt before because he couldnt reach his own back. What about now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 His back is robotic now, he no longer has that weakness. Also, I'm not sure if cola fueling is an issue anymore. I'm pretty sure he's still fueled by it, but he's done something to where he runs no risk of running out, at least from what I've seen. Between Robin and Franky, who do you think is smarter? Robin is a great archaeologist and is even able to read Poneglyphs, all from youth, while Franky has enough engineering ability to understand and construct Dr. Vegapunk's ideas for use in weaponry and constructing his own cyborg body.

Flame Dragon Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think had Robin fought any of the CP9 she would have lost. Franky did not. As for who is smarter, in a gneral sense I'd easily give it to Robin. As for Franky's Cola fuel, he upped the amount he can hold, and I think he cut down on how much his attacks used.

Shradow Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think had Robin fought any of the CP9 she would have lost. Franky did not. That's true. I wonder if Franky will ever make a propulsion system, because it would be awesome if he could fly. Beside slowly drifting away on Coup de Boo, I mean.

K.B. strategist Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Yeah I think Oda has trouble thinking of ways to create a good fight for her that doesn't result in instant victory for one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 As for who is smarter, in a gneral sense I'd easily give it to Robin. For me it's hard to say, due to the difference in their fields of study. Robin is 900 years in the past while Franky is 500 years in the future.
