As for balance, I really don't believe that the Whitebeard Pirates are equal to the WG as a whole. Considering that they didn't actually break through the enemy lines, they went under them and directly to Marineford. If he actually had to fight his way through, I'm fairly sure this battle would be different, and may be not as easy. If Shanks tried this, then im sure that he would have been slaughtered, same for Kaidou if he had to attempt a sneak attack. Not to mention, I'm not sure they are capable of utilizing the same suprise tactics as Whitebeared. We know they are strong, but we don't know about their strategical minds, or how they would plan their assaults. Heck much about both factions are still a mystery.

My sentiments exactly. Too many people believe that Haki will be the answer to everything. Just because one may know how to incorporate Haki into their combat skills, it doesn't automatically guarantee they'll be victorious against their opponents. Based on what we know so far, all it does is allow one to harm another, regardless if that person is a devil fruit user or not.

That being said, this is a long way away, and we will see many other uses for the Gomu fruit in the mean time. |

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the warlords reactions towards Luffy, Crocodile, and Jimbei. There should definitely be some really interesting dialogue going on there, to say the least.

Unless Oda writes in a loophole to possess two devil fruit powers, don't expect that happening for quite a while. (or ever.)

The loophole can easily be avoided, by making one special devil fruit that can be combined with a limited number of devil fruits. It is not like you can give fire to ice. It need to have a complementary effect. For instance, Brook's devil fruit could have been something like that. |

A: if you could do that, someone would of done it by now. B: Luffy's power is strong enough. I'm sure once he masters his devil fruit it will be just as powerful as any of the other one in the manga. C: It is just too late in the story to add a gigantic loophole like that. |

If Luffy starts using haki the way we've seen other people use haki, I think it could very well allow him to fight evenly with the top dogs. Just think about it, it's an all around huge power up. It would allow him to hurt logias, his own attacks would become stronger, his defense would improve (or rather, his opponents’ attacks would weaken, either way...), it can even be used as some sort of inner eye...

I wouldn't even call that altercation of theirs a fight. When Magellan ran into Blackbeard and his crew, he simply asked him if he was Blackbeard, to which Blackbeard responded "yes", and then Magellan poisoned the whole crew with his hydra attack stating that he had no idea what business they had at Impel Down and that he had no time to question them. Magellan was in hot pursuit of the assailants (Luffy and his band of escapees), so dealing with Blackbeard was not on his list of priorities.

For that to happen, you need to have a genius like Vegapunk finding it and trying it with other devil fruit abilities, very very low possibility. Or a courageous person. Or a exremely ambitious person to the point of rising everything on one try. And these extreme behaviours need to meet up with that special ability, which may have the least likelihood of being found. In short, the possibility is there. And the suggestions made in the story so far are not strong enough to turn that automatically to a loophole. |
