Roger pirates owned Whitebeard pirates without any devil fruit at all but pure haki and skill (I dont think Roger had a df but Shanks,Rayleigh had haki which are not even Haoushoku Haki) Looks like If Roger pirates had any df, that means they would devastate Whitebeard pirates rather than just dueling. |

Haki and fruits..I see them as just two different weapons. I don't understand, what is it that makes people think that haki is so superior to devil fruits. If we see a guy using a spear and the other a sword, we won't assume one is stronger then the other. It would be weird to say something like 'looks like if the spear guy also had a sword, that means they would devastate the swordsman'. No? Besides, haki is ambition. And WB pirates have ambition as well..they just project it differently. Having the King's haki doesn't give you a huge advantage over someone whos incredibly skilled with their DF; Its just two sets of completely different skills that really can't be directly compared with each other.

But truth be told i don't think were going to see much more from him maybe one or two moves . Since you don't want to give away everything since we know he has to face zoro later on. |

By the way, I have a little theory about Marco's DF power. I may be wrong about this, but I think it's pretty fun to guess.
Anyway, I think it's possible that he may have the powers of the spark spark fruit. That is, he literally ignites his body in the same way that you'd use a match or cigarette lighter. Maybe his fruit gives him some super friction powers that allows him to create his blue flames (a similar ability in another series would be Roy Mustang's alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist). That way, he can have a fire-based ability without being another fire Logia. Again, I could be entirely wrong about this, but I think it's a pretty good theory...... |

Maybe the blue flams that emit from his body are resulted from absorbing the Light blast and converting the energy into thermal energy? It could be that he is taking the quanta of Kizaru's attack, breaking it down, and emiting it out of his body as thermal energy in the colour of a blue flame which indicates high-frequency light waves...or something like that ? So, Marco would be able to take any attack and then convert whatever energy is thrown at him (kinetic) and convert it into thermal energy - heat, which is then released from his body as a flame, and the colour of the flame indicates the frequency/wavelength of the attack. Or maybe I just want somethig more interesting than a spark spark fruit . As for Jozu's diamond ability, we still haven't confirmed that diamond can be cut, and with the advent of Haki, cutting an element seems far easier than cutting a diamond. So, I am interested to see what Oda does with this fruit and how it will stack up against Mihawk. |

hmm if all the commanders are in action now, what of the rest of the Shichibukai twiddling there thumbs. All to jump WB? Luffy and Jimbei to fight them? I'd assume Hancock and Crocodile will swap sides aswell.
also Smoker lurking around aswell!

Well, I already said that I could be entirely wrong about this, but..... Anyway, when I read "blue flames" the first thing that came to my mind was the fire emitted from matches/lighters/Bunson burners, hence my idea of Marco having eaten the "spark" fruit. Like he'd literally be a human piece of flint or something, I guess. As to how a power like that can stop Kizaru's attacks, well..... I dunno. I guess he'd just be that strong, maybe? Well, I still rather like the idea, myself. Quote:
I see things the opposite way: I think that cutting diamond would be the first step towards cutting the immaterial (or "elements", in this case). So when we most likely see Mihawk slash through Jozu's diamond body, we'll get a better idea of just how far Zoro currently is from his level...... ....But I still imagine that Jozu would put up a pretty good fight, though. I mean, a diamond power would basically make him like a Daz 2.0 or something..... |

Whoa, I nearly missed this one from the last page:

Now see, I was actually pretty close to having this same opinion about Zoans myself before we found out about Ancient and Awakened Zoans. Thanks to that, Oda just opened up several new possibilities for Zoan users. That's why I'm hoping to see some appear during this war (including the small chance that Akainu is one of them). It's about time for us to finally see some Zoans that DON'T play second fiddle to even the strongest of Paramecias and Logias..... |

This actually does have some sense if you think about it -If you have gas owen or gas grill you can see that flames are blue -Remember Skypiea? Wiper with burn-bazooka and those burn swords? Wiper explained that they were actually gas-dial weapons who emitted flammable gas that when ignited it burned with blue flame burning through most matter. We have seen quite alot of blue flames in OP, mostly in Skypiea though where gas powered weapons were quite popular along shandians. Personally I found this theory most plausible since Marco emits flames that specially are burning with blue fire, I guess he is some kind of gas-gas devil fruit user, I expect him being similar paramecia as Magellan but he could be logia aswell. |

I'm LOL at most forums going into a frenzy about Joz blocking Mihawks shot, that was intended for a Newagte and claiming Mihawk is weak. The funny thing is that there seriously calling hawk eye's weak and are not joking about it.
Follow the thumbs. |

^A gas fruit would be interesting, but the colour flame that occurs depends on the molecules that are produced during combustion (a chemical reaction). CH and C2 will readily produce blue flames, for instance. And, of course, the colour will change if something other than carbon-based fuel is used. Blue flames can also indicate temperture, but that has to do with which colour light comes from hot soot particles rather than chemical reactions.
But, Gas wouldn't really do anything to Light. Light certainly can cause a chemical reaction in the gas, but I am unsure how or why blue flame would be produced. Last edited by james0246; 2009-08-04 at 13:40. |

A gas fruit ability came to my mind as well, but I think Smoker kind of already has that power covered, does he not? So for now, I think I'll stick with my theory of Marco being a spark man.
Also, I'm hoping that we'll see Sengoku do something soon, rather than standing around and gaping at the battle in shock and awe. I believe that as the fleet admiral, he needs to pull his share of weight in this war, as well...... |

Gas and Smoke are quite diffrent substances, gas devilfruit would be pretty nice specially if he could control what type of gas he emits (flammable, disabling), Kizarus light beam seems to contain heat in some account and it could light gas in flames aswell. Well its true that if Kizaru shoots straight beam towards Whitbeard its bit difficult to think how it could disrubt beams travel, unless gas is really thick. |

I have to admit I also find it hilarious that people are already dismissing Mihawk as weak just because Jozu blocked his attack. Nevermind the fact that his attack was solely aimed at Whitebeard, as I mentioned in the previous page. And again, I quote what he said to Doflamingo:
Quote:
So he was merely trying to test himself against Whitebeard, not a diamond fruit user. If that were the case, then he would have used a much more focused attack than the one he used this chapter...... |
