@the_P_God It’s just one big appeal to tradition. Arguing that for most of human history we didn’t pasteurized milk so therefore it’s actually optimal or better to drink it raw. It’s why they exaggerate the nutrient loss when you pasteurize milk.
@theTrafalgarD@dabuthegemini@imBISLY The entire premise of the scene was that whether he'd be forced to face Kaido or face an Admiral, Doflamingo was in a lose-lose scenario thanks to Law. Even Edward Weevil only got Greenbull so pretending they gonna send 2 admirals after Doffy is insane work.
@theTrafalgarD@dabuthegemini@imBISLY When presented with the choice of facing off against Kaido or facing off against Admirals, Doffy broke out into a cold sweat ON PANEL. The entire crux of Law's deal with him was that Doffy would either get killed by Kaido or get killed/captured by an admiral. He's not that strong
@theTrafalgarD@dabuthegemini@imBISLY Doffy immediately gives up, says killing Smoker isn't on the table anymore and that he'll have to change his tactics entirely. This MF is nowhere NEAR Admirals, please let the Doffy= admirals agenda die in 2013.
@Plutofreebands@MkiiDonut@imBISLY Did you just stop reading at Zou? Wano showed us that in order to actually beat Jack in a 1v1, Inu and Neko had to go into their Sulong forms. Jack used poison on Zou because Inu/Neko took turns fighting him all day/all night in an effort to whittle him down.
@theTrafalgarD@dabuthegemini@imBISLY None of that matters because Fujitora himself confirms in the screenshot I posted that he could have taken down Doflamingo easily. Trying to argue that Doffy could even give a serious admiral trouble is insane, Aokiji merely flexing had Doffy convinced he had to run away.
@Plutofreebands@MkiiDonut@imBISLY Holy LARP, it's the exact opposite. As the story progressed, jack was shown to be MORE powerful. HE scales above all of the Tobiroppo (including Ulti) and it took Sulong Inu and Neko tag teaming Jack to get him near death. The same Inu and Neko who could hurt Kaido LMAO.
@qSogep@dabuthegemini@imBISLY Most of her crew was back on whole Cake+ the Raid was specifically designed to take Her and Kaido out. Current chapters reveal how strong Elbaf is so her alliance would have meant the end of everyone.
@theTrafalgarD@dabuthegemini@imBISLY Fujitora purposefully chose not to beat Doflamingo, he could have done so easily at any time. Doflamingo isn't even CLOSE to the level of admirals. Neither is Cracker. Doffy was shitting his pants at the thought of Admirals or Emperors wanting him dead.
@qSogep@dabuthegemini@imBISLY Yea.. and she was right. The government confirmed on panel that a Big Mom/Kaido alliance would be WORSE than the return of the Rocks Pirates. Big Mom also thought an alliance with Elbaf would do the same.... and she was correct again.
@Plutofreebands@MkiiDonut@imBISLY The point of the screenshot is that Kaido, someone who is all about power, acknowledges that Jack is powerful but Doflamingo is weak. It's that simple.
@Plutofreebands@imBISLY Nobody in One Piece thinks like this. Everyone acknowledges that characters like Jack and Cracker are far more powerful than Doflamingo, full stop. Oda even hints at this with Nami and Chopper thinking about how characters like Cracker are basically the next step up.
@AJ9ysc@imBISLY They can be. Ace's hunt for Blackbeard took place during cover stories and the next chapter after the cover story finished had Ace actually finding him as an example. CP9 recovering post- Enies Lobby also happened in cover stories.
@Plutofreebands@imBISLY It's confirmation that Cracker could handle someone capable of defeating Doflamingo. Hence why in the next chapter, Luffy admits Cracker's armament is too strong and he's forced into G4 to do literally anything :I.
@dabuthegemini@imBISLY Big Mom and Cracker did. Which is important because it means everyone thinks Cracker> someone who could beat Doffy> Doffy. His performance proves it as well, he's far above Doffy. On top of that, Luffy thought Cracker's armament was too hard without G4.
@AJ9ysc@imBISLY the animation is, the event isn't. We technically never saw the fight during the manga cover stories so for all we know Cracker put a far better fight than in the anime. Only Oda knows obviously.
@imBISLY Not really, Kuzan held back more against Doffy because Cracker was actively preventing him and Van Augur from getting Pudding. Doflamingo was simply being annoying and Kuzan wanted to shoo him away. If Kuzan put in the same amount of effort on both, Doffy might be dead.
Man it sucks I can’t recommend the Steam Deck anymore at these prices. I got my 1TB OLED refurbished from valve for $550 last year after taxes. Over $1000 after taxes is insane work.
