^Actually, I'd say Hody's stamina is more comparable to Awakened Zoans (or Usopp/Spandam ) than the typical GL superpowers.....

Why not? Frankly, DF powers in general defy logic as it is, so I see no reason why Oda couldn't make a time-based power work. Unless you think that Oda would suddenly pull a Bleach and have Blackbeard become some wacky troll of a villain like Aizen/Tsukishima? I already pointed out Jojo in my last post (as well as billions of times before then), which does an awesome job of handling time powers (well, not so much King Crimson, but that's a matter of personal taste). Which reminds me: I pointed out the possibility of Blackbeard "evolving" his powers in a manner similar to Pucci in my last post. I now realize that the comparison is even more fitting since Teach, much like Pucci, also has a gravity-type power (even if the darkness fruit works differently from C-Moon). |

Ah, JoJo, that's an awesome series especially with its structure and concept of supernatural power Star Platinum is still my favorite stand.
Why can't we having "time" manipulation type of power? I mean so far we already Bonney whose DF power seems to allow her to manipulate age, not to mention we are (potentially) hinted with the mention of tamatebako in this arc.

Actually betting it would be Bonney's DF, which she somehow got some time before. |

Vander Decken's underlings were most likely misinformed. It relates to age alteration, yeah, but not in the way you expected at first. To me it makes perfect sense. That said, this is just a theory for now, but I would be really surprised if it turned out to be something else. Anyway, it's just a matter of time before we get a definite answer. |

How about...
ES Pills give you enormous strength by aging you instantly, and giving you all the combined strength you WOULD have gained in those years you lost. That way, the pills "shaving your life off" doesn't contradict either. Eh? EH? (Metro-man impression)

we're nearing the end of FI arc and i am still wondering if Noah's really something more than an ark. Hody's not down yet it seems. he's still got one desperate attack to come and luffy's just gonna own him again anyway. lol
and lastly, WTF?! ANOTHER BREAK??! HUH?! ok,ok, oda, i understand you need rest but it's so dull w/o a new OP chapter DX ..I'm excited about next arc. NEW WORLD, HERE WE GO!!! |

Considering that the great weapons of the past are getting erased from the history in one way or another, as the Strawhats get stronger, no need to worry about that part. Regardless of its original purpose, it will most likely be gone soon enough, opening a new era for everyone involved.

Foxy's power wasn't really a time-based one, though. It merely slowed things down for half a minute, not slow down time itself. Really, what I had in mind for Blackbeard was something more along the lines of Jojo stand powers like The World or Killer Queen's Bites the Dust power-up ("freezing" and "resetting" time, respectively).
Also..... I thought I'd once again put in another shameless plug for the SBS thread, in case anyone missed it. Some very interesting info's been posted there (particularly a certain marine-related tidbit)..... |

he has good reactions, can whip up the black stuff in front of him to suck it in (Black Vortex I think) or can just quake whatever is coming at him
or better yet - quake it before it can launch an attack .. or just tank ^^

Actually BB is rather unique in One Piece top tier villains since he takes every attack like a boss instead of dodging. Only seen WB do this and he did it well.
so if he suddenly started dodging everything...it would be kinda lame imo :| |

Well, technically, I'd say CP9 counts as villains who had a tendency to tank attacks (true, they were all speedy opponents, but they were also fond of spamming Tekkai).
And the only reason Whitebeard didn't dodge attacks was because he was a sick old man..... Marco even pointed that out during the war, remember? If he were in his prime, I'm sure he'd have been zigzagging around those marines easily..... And going back to Blackbeard: I don't disagree that taking attacks like a champ makes him awesome, but I'd kinda prefer that he didn't become as much of a punching bag as a certain drug-addicted sharkman. |
