1. Don't get what you mean
2. Luffy so far has the whole manga behind his back, dodging a slash from Mihawk in part 1, and blitzing a character who I would bet my bottom dollar is faster than Vergo.
3. k
4. Luffy didn't get Vergo and I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by using Mingo as an example since we both know that his defensive and offensive ability is levels above Laws and Luffy didn't even hit him with his strongest attack yet
1. Law's greatest speed feat isn't Vergo, it's reacting to and moving to intercept Overheat while on the Sunny.

2. There's nothing that indicates Luffy is faster than Vergo. Mihawk wasn't putting much effort into hitting Luffy, evident by the fact that Daz Bones was able to block a flying slash meant for Luffy, but was then defeated in one slash. And it's not like flying slashes are weaker than normal slashes either. When you also take into consideration the fact that Daz Bones is an insect compared to Mihawk, it just adds up to Mihawk not putting that much effort into his slashes. So it's not like he was dodging Mihawk's best or anything.

4. No dude. You're saying that being able to coat his fist on CoA could be a 1-hit KO on Law. I'm saying that's not true because both Vergo and Doflamingo can lace themselves with Buso Koka, and neither of them were able to or have 1-hit KO'd Law.

Law is fighting against Doffy right now. He definitely couldn't if he was that much slower. Idk where people are getting Law is weak in the physical department from. He has shown great strength and speed these two arcs. He was going head to head with Smoker.

The difference between Law and Luffy is that if Law gets a succesful hit in the fight is over.

And you're not telling me that Luffy can do the same. Luffy is not knocking out an equal supernova in one hit.

I will quote a brilliant post from another thread on which I completely agree:

How would Luffy beat Law ?

Are you telling me that Luffy can beat Law before Law can get the drop on Luffy only once and cut him in pieces ?

Don't come up with how fast luffy is because Law can teleport within his room. Luffy even needed Law's power to be able to land a hit on Doffy, meaning Law's teleport blindsid is faster than Gear second.

If Luffy is in Law's room he will be screwed. He doesn't even come close to hakified Vergo and he got cut up in 32 pieces.

All theories about Luffy can be pick himself up again are wrong. When Law cuts a bodypart he can stick it to anything (Vergo to the railing, Kinemon to the dragon, marines to crates and canonballs) And it took Luffy a lot of strength to free Kinemon from the dragon. So if his hand is cut and stuck to the ground he can't get loose himself.

Law is Luffy's worst nightmare in a fight. Luffy always takes time to understand a DF power of an enemy, but the intelligent Law will never give him that time and he will get his room up as soon as possible, and cut him in pieces.

By feats Law is stronger no doubt(infact it's close to a stomp by feats no matter how i look at it), but you must take hype into consideration here and these guys are portrayed to be close to equal

They might be equal in strength if they would fight others as a benchmark.

But Luffy has no answer to Law's bag of magic tricks. This would never be a long fight, if Luffy makes a mistake he gets cut up and the fight is over. If Law makes a mistake he gets punched and the fight continues. Luffy can't 1 hit knock out someone like Law.

Laws DF is OP as ****, so if Law plays his cards right he could win, but the problem is his DF is very power draining, and Luffy has extremely high endurance. So if Luffy can drag the fight on I'd give it to him.

Hype is good when there are very few feats. Law's ability is one of the strongest in the manga, he can cut anything, teleport himself or other people, take out person's heart and levitate objects within his Room. Luffy's stretching techniques are no match for such versatility. Moreover, if Luffy stretches his arms too much during fight, Law will cut Luffy's hands off

First you said I ¨must not have seen the fight¨, implying that there was fight between the Pacifista and Heart and Kidd Pirates that showed them struggling far more than the Strawhats, hence why they're below them. Now, you're saying it's not about the fight, but the end result. You've contradicted yourself. That's strike one.

Also, you're looking for an end result, when we weren't presented with one. We didn't see whether or not Law and Kidd defeated the Pacifista. Them:
1. Getting thrashed and running away
2. Defeating the Pacifista with mid difficulty
3. Defeating the Pacifista with high dff
4. Defeating it with low diff
5. Not fighting at all and just running
all have equal support in the manga: None. We don't know which one of these is true, and which are false. Meaning, you cannót use the Heart/Kidd Pirates vs Pacifista fight as a frame of reference due to the fact that we have no details on how the fight went, at all. Strike two.
Yes, you must of not seen the fight and neither did I.

I never argued about that so there is no contradiction there, however proof of the end results can determine which group had a greater struggle than the others.

You must be registered for see images


Straw Hats had enough energy to fend themselves off when they were making a break for it, that is until Kizaru ruined it for them.

You must be registered for see images


And if Kizaru is using the term "escape," for the kidd pirates and Heart fighting together then hat means two things:

A) The obvious, both crews intended to hit and run

B) The PX wasn't destroyed, so they didn't defeat the PX like the strawhats did because they simply couldn't.

Kizaru would of noted that you destroyed the PX upon arrival at the marineford.

Your logic is that if Group A did better than or exhibited better strength as a whole than Group B, then an individual from Group A must be better than an individual from Group B. Your logic is that because the Strawhat Pirates defeated a PAcifista on their own, and because you're guessing(by the way, that's strike 3) that the Heart Pirates, even with the Kidd Pirates, did worse, that Luffy must be better than Law. That is what your logic says, no way around it, that's what it is. My Whitebeard/Akainu analogy was not pitiful, but spot on. Akainu's group won the war of Marineford, but he'd still lose to someone from Group B, Whitebeard. We saw Whitebeard defeat Akainu once his illnesses had ceased to impact his body for the time being when he thrashed Akainu out of rage of him killing Ace. Strike 4.

There are more ways of pointing out why you're logic is flawed.
If three luffy's fought a PX-4, then you better guarantee a victory with better results than the monster trio.

There are three supernova's that are suppose to be on luffy or around his level against (in your case higher), if they weren't able to destroy a PX-4 or 7 than what does that say for themselves?

Your stupid whitebeard vs akainu example is futile as ever.

It wasn't just whitebeard vs the marines, their where notable Shichibakui's that aided them in their battle too.

You can't say whitebeard did this and that, his condition was a factor and even in his thrash he still didn't permantely kill Akainu because he was injured, weakened, and ill.

"Can an ill Law beat Luffy?" Hell no....

"What about vice versa?" The answer is still no...

Too many factors and leverage on the Marine's side that it was just pointless to bring that up.

The question isn't Strawhats vs Law, but Luffy vs Law. You're reasoning is that because Law needed help from the Kidd Pirates to defeat a Pacifista, but the Strawhats defeated the Pacifista all on their own, that as a member of the Strawhats, there is a clear gap between Law and Luffy.
Wouldn't of teamed up if they could, just putting it out there


Reason #1 why this logic is ass: You say that Law needed the help of the Kidd Pirates. But, it's also a fact that Luffy needed help from the rest of his crew. We already know that Luffy on his own, like Law, can't destroy a Pacifista on his own at that time. However, how can Luffy>Law because Law can't take down a Pacifista on his own and needed help from a crew, when Luffy also can't take down a Pacifista and needed help from his crew? Strike 5
It was luffy's gear three that shattered the PX-4, but excluding that Luffy would severly damage if not break PX-4 if he used full power (Gear 2 and Gear3) which he didn't.

Law on the other hand failed to break PX-7 (i think its 7) on his own, nor can he and his crew destroy PX-7 on their own. Another powerful pirate was their to help them escape instead of destroying the PX like the straw hats.


Reason #2 why this logic is ass: Does that mean that because Chopper, Nami, Brook or Usopp was part of the Strawhats, the gap between them and Law is there, with it being in there favor? After all, being part of the group that defeated the Pacifista is your ¨proof¨ of Luffy>Law, it has to apply to the other members as well. I guess Usopp, Nami, Brook and Chopper also defeat Law in a fight. Strike 6
Unless chopper, nami, robin, brook, or Ussop are stronger than Law's crew and Kidd's cre combined.

Stop talking...

Reason #3 why this logic is ass: This happened pre-skip. We're talking about current Law vs Luffy. Because pre-skip Law needed help from Kidd's crew, and pre-skip Luffy needed help from his crew, post-skip Luffy>post-skip Law? I doubt you even comprehend why this makes no sense. Strike 7.
Luffy needed help from his crew and Law and his crew needed help from kidd and his crew.

(At least get that part right)

Post timeskip luffy trained with the dark king, what did Law do all post timeskip?

Nothing significant to put him on Luffy's level that's for sure.

This is a very stupid analogy, you're way to simple to correctly analyze the serious of events.

Luffy just broke down impel down and fought a bunch of high level ranked people in the war, Law would of died shorty of depleted stamina.

His physical strength is good enough to KO a giant, drive through a platoon of marine men with little to know break, block sengoku's punch, and put out his grandfather while standing still.

If your telling me Law can accomplish any of those feats, you're more dense then I thought.

And then, to top it all off, you're saying that Law and Kidd didn't escape the Pacifista, because Kuma showed up to fight the Strawhats? Let's ignore the fact that Law and Kidd weren't arrested. Let's ignore the fact that we actually saw them at Sabaody after the incident brought Kizaru and the Marines around and while Marineford was going on. Let's ignore the fact that Law was able to freely make his way to Marineford with his entire crew and his ship. How, in any sense of the English language and all that isn't asinine, does the fact that Kuma showed up to fight the Strawhats mean that Law and Kidd didn't escape the Pacifista? Strike 8
He sent them in a different location like evryone else, or just avoided them like he did in thriller park.

/Logic

8 strikes, 8 major flaws that all render your argument, quite simply, ass. Please, think before you post next time.

Edit: Actually, there's even another ninth strike I forgot to type due to the overwhelming amount of flaws present.
You think so highly of yourself when you look like a complete retard, this is just simply sad reading something that came from the ground of a elementary school parking lot.

You said my statement that Law and Kidd probably didn't cooperate is baseless. No it's not. It's based on this page
You must be registered for see images


Kidd and Law have friction. Kidd enjoys provoking Law by telling him what to do, and Law hates being ordered around. The two just don't get along at all. That's what makes them so unlikely to be able to attack in a coordinated fashion. Even while about to confront Kuma in the page above, Kidd tells Law he's in the way and Law threatens to kill Kidd. Simply fighting one opponent at once, or fighting a group at once isn't cooperating and coordinating attacks, they're fighting the same opponent at the same time, but separately.
Yes, three arrogant pirates talk trash in the mist of fodders, but when push comes to shove all of a sudden the guy who wants to kill the other ends up teaming with him to survive.

A scan that proves nothing but pride..

This is probably one of the easiest post I ever countered.

You're to weak to be this boastful....

If we haven't seen the fight, then how can you use it for an argument? You don't know that Law didn't do far more damage to the Pacifista than SHs did, or if he did worse. The contradiction came when you said this:
On top of that the strawhats finish beating the PX first, while both hearts and kid pirates where to fatigue to fight another.
That statement is complete baseless. The fact of the matter is, you don't know how well Law and the Kidd Pirates did against the Pacifista. Did they destroy it? How much effort did it take for them to destroy it? Did they have to fight after that? You don't know. Law and Kidd Pirates vs Pacifista cannot be used.

Straw Hats had enough energy to fend themselves off when they were making a break for it, that is until Kizaru ruined it for them.
Sanji explicitly said they don't have the energy to fight another Pacifista anyways, so even if Law and Kidd Pirates were fatigued after fighting one Pacifista, so were the Strawhats. Kizaru said they escaped, so they also had the energy to escape.

You must be registered for see images


And if Kizaru is using the term "escape," for the kidd pirates and Heart fighting together then hat means two things:

A) The obvious, both crews intended to hit and run

B) The PX wasn't destroyed, so they didn't defeat the PX like the strawhats did because they simply couldn't.

Kizaru would of noted that you destroyed the PX upon arrival at the marineford.
The day after the Strawhats were defeated by Kuma, Kizaru went around the island rounding up pirates, managing to arrest about 500 or so. It's fully possible that Law and Kidd did destroy the Pacifista, and avoided getting arrested by Kizaru the next day, hence "You did a good job at escaping." Kizaru's words do not indicate that Law and Kidd were unable to destroy the Pacifista, but that they were unable to avoid being captured with the other 500 pirates the next day.


If three luffy's fought a PX-4, then you better guarantee a victory with better results than the monster trio.

There are three supernova's that are suppose to be on luffy or around his level against (in your case higher), if they weren't able to destroy a PX-4 or 7 than what does that say for themselves?

"What about vice versa?" The answer is still no...

Too many factors and leverage on the Marine's side that it was just pointless to bring that up.
Last I checked, they weren't three Luffys in this scenario. Three Laws would also do much better than the M3.

That's the point I'm trying to make, it's not about one person in that group did, it's about what happened as a whole. The group Whitebeard was part of lost in the long run of the war, while the group Akainu was part of won in the long run. However, Whitebeard is stronger than Akainu. Just because Group A did better than Group B, doesnt mean someone from Group B will lose to someone from Group A because it wasn't just them.

It was luffy's gear three that shattered the PX-4, but excluding that Luffy would severly damage if not break PX-4 if he used full power (Gear 2 and Gear3) which he didn't.

Law on the other hand failed to break PX-7 (i think its 7) on his own, nor can he and his crew destroy PX-7 on their own. Another powerful pirate was their to help them escape instead of destroying the PX like the straw hats.
They actually didn't team up. Kidd was fully intent on fighting the Pacifista with his own crew, and without Law. Law only ended up fighting the PX because it was in the path he was traveling in and attacked him. He had no choice but to fight the PX, and Kidd happened to be fighting it as well. Neither expressed wanting or needing the help of the other.

Luffy shattered the PX-4...after all the other Strawhats damaged it by knocking it around and internally damaging it. Luffy shattered a Pacifista that was already on the brink of destruction due to the combined efforts of the Strawhat crew. You have no proof that Law failed to damage the PX, because, as you can see, we saw absolutely nothing of the fight. Your proof that Law failed to damage the Pacifista? Yet another reason why we can't use that fight in this argument, there's nothing to use it as a base for.

Unless chopper, nami, robin, brook, or Ussop are stronger than Law's crew and Kidd's cre combined.

Stop talking...
And Luffy is?

You're saying that because Luffy is part of a group that destroyed a PX, and Law couldn't destroy the PX on his own, that Luffy is stronger than Law. However, this same logic would have to apply to Chopper, Nami, Usopp and Brook as well. They are part of the group that destroyed a PX, does that mean there is a gap between them and Law? No. The logic doesn't work for them, so it can't work for Luffy either. That's the point I'm trying to make. Luffy was unable to destroy a Pacifista without help, same as Law. You cannot apply the entire group effort of the Strawhats destroying the PX to any one member because it takes the entire Strawhat crew to do that effort. The SHs destroying a PX took the entire Strawhat crew, you cant apply it to Luffy on his own.

Luffy needed help from his crew and Law and his crew needed help from kidd and his crew.

(At least get that part right)

Post timeskip luffy trained with the dark king, what did Law do all post timeskip?

Nothing significant to put him on Luffy's level that's for sure.
Completely baseless.

Luffy just broke down impel down and fought a bunch of high level ranked people in the war, Law would of died shorty of depleted stamina.

His physical strength is good enough to KO a giant, drive through a platoon of marine men with little to know break, block sengoku's punch, and put out his grandfather while standing still.

If your telling me Law can accomplish any of those feats, you're more dense then I thought.
Once again, Luffy only broke out of Impel Down because of a group effort. Luffy didn't break out on his own. He had Jinbei, all of the Okamas, Ivankov, Crocodile, and Bon Clay to help him. You know where Luffy got completely on his own in Impel Down? Laying in a pool of purple poison, unconscious and almost dead. If Ivankov, Crocodile, Jinbei, Bon Clay and the Okamas didn't help Luffy, he would have died miserably.

At Marineford, Garp let him get a hit in. If Garp didnt allow that hit, he would have killed Luffy with one punch. If Garp did absolutely nothing to defend against Law's powers, they'd affect him too. Luffy took a blow from Sengoku(not blocked it, it damaged him and made him spit his blood and whitened his eyes), yes, that's a good feat. But nothing suggests that Law can't do that. Luffy didn't defeat a platoon of Marines, he took down some fodder. At Sabaody, Law did the exact same thing. You seem to forget that partway through the war, Luffy also ran out of stamina, the same way Law would have, and needed iva to refuel him. And it's not like you can say that because Law's fruit drains his stamina he would run out quicker than Luffy. Gear 2 drains Luffy's nutrients and energy, the same way the Ope Ope no Mi does to Law, so they're about even in that department.

He sent them in a different location like evryone else, or just avoided them like he did in thriller park.

/Logic
Nope. We saw Law on Sabaody during MF, so he wasn't sent anywhere. Sure, Kuma may have never encountered Law, but it doesn't change that Law managed to evade Kizaru and the Strawhats couldn't.

You think so highly of yourself when you look like a complete retard, this is just simply sad reading something that came from the ground of a elementry school parking lot.
This the problem with stupid people. They don't realize they're wrong. Too bad, Varia.

Yes, three arrogant pirates talk trash in the mist of fodders, but when push comes to shove all of a sudden the guy who wants to kill the other ends up teaming with him to survive.

A scan that proves nothing but pride..

This is probably one of the easiest post I ever countered.

You're to weak to be this boastful....
And that pride and arrogance is exactly why they wouldn't be able to work together well. Because Law and Kidd are both proud and arrogant, they won't cooperate. They wouldn't coordinate, they'd try to one-up each other. Because they are so proud and arrogant, they wouldn't let the other help them, they'd just try to outdo each other.

You haven't countered a thing. Keep being stupid, Varia.

Are you serious? The effects of pain on the body is what suggests it, nothing HAS to be there to suggest that pain and stress on his body would hinder his movement, that's a given fact.

I admit that he was suffering but as I said he wasn't in a condition where he can't react to Vergo. Law is a doctor so I wouldn't be surprised if he did something to with stand pain. The panel clearly shows that he was ready to fight again.So I have no reason to think that he failed because of pain.


Law didn't block or evade because his concentration was on catching his heart, not on Vergo. If Law was concentrating on Vergo, the movement he did to catch his heart could have been done to block, dodge, or counter.

It doesn't matter, He still failed to counter him despite of having a lot of free time (When compared to the time he has when he cut down Vergo)to react to Vergo. As I said before if Law reacted to Vergo's top speed at such a small distance even when his room wasn't activated then reacting to Vergo after catching his heart is piece of cake.

You don't even know the difference between reacting to and countering.

Vergo's speed allows for Law at his own speed to focus on and perform one action before Vergo is able to land his blow. The first time, Law used up that focus on and performance of one action on getting his heart and catching it. The second time, Law used that one action of countering Vergo. Simple as that.

Sure against a goofy Luffy, Law has his chance but i think a bloodlusted Luffy is slightly stronger. Doflamingo thought so as well

Law is the worst opponent for luffy. Luffy's stretching techniques are target practise for long range swordsmen like Law and Mihawk. Doffy probably regards Luffy as a greater threat than Law, but Law has big advantage over Luffy

That's the problem. Luffy will start off goofy, and that will be his downfall. Unless Law does something to his friends, which he hasn't, then blood lusted Luffy either isn't coming or will come far too late.

Even Caesar won against goofy Luffy. When i rate power-level i compare people level in terms of strength, i take their most convenient mindset where they can display their full power

That's true, but it's also not how it works per se. Character traits are part of what decides the winner of a fight, and VS threads are about who wins, not who's stronger. If being goofy costs Luffy the match, then that's that, he loses the thread.
