The fact that she is way above your average Pacifista should speak for itself.Explain...
There is barely any difference between Luffy at Marineford and Luffy at Sabaody, if any. Sentomaru was able to knock around Luffy like nothing because of his Haki, and he was hardly trying. Even if Luffy is at full strength, Sentomaru was portrayed to be much stronger than him at the time.Explain...
You're thinking about the wrong person here.The fact that she is way above your average Pacifista should speak for itself.
Luffy just got destroying PX, so that part is invalid.There is barely any difference between Luffy at Marineford and Luffy at Sabaody, if any. Sentomaru was able to knock around Luffy like nothing because of his Haki, and he was hardly trying. Even if Luffy is at full strength, Sentomaru was portrayed to be much stronger than him at the time.
I suppose those are fair points. Whether or not Luffy can break Sentomaru's Haki is speculation, but we don't have much saying one way or the other. I still think Sentomaru, by portrayal, was stronger than Luffy pre-skip, but after reading this it probably won't be low diff.Luffy just got destroying PX, so that part is invalid.
Luffy didn't activate any gears either.
Luffy before the marineford showed enough strength to fight Haki user in second gear.
The Boa sisters knocked around gearless luffy too, then he got serious and overpowered them both.
Same applies to the overgrown baby and he wasn't even a VA yet.
I don't think luffy broke his Haki, he just overpowered him physically.I suppose those are fair points. Whether or not Luffy can break Sentomaru's Haki is speculation, but we don't have much saying one way or the other. I still think Sentomaru, by portrayal, was stronger than Luffy pre-skip, but after reading this it probably won't be low diff.
By the way, the only Marine rank that means anything is Admiral rank. The others aren't very good assessments of power.
Exactly right.There is barely any difference between Luffy at Marineford and Luffy at Sabaody, if any. Sentomaru was able to knock around Luffy like nothing because of his Haki, and he was hardly trying. Even if Luffy is at full strength, Sentomaru was portrayed to be much stronger than him at the time.
Marineford luffy never said that though, but still even with haki he can still overpower him physically.Exactly right.
Luffy wouldn't even hurt Sentomaru, he claims to have an "incredibly strong guard", a statement which still stands to be true even now, post timeskip
Sentomaru would be a tough opponent for Luffy even now
Just saying , sentomaru is a he. LolThe fact that she is way above your average Pacifista should speak for itself.
Not really. I could just go around claiming that Pre TS Luffy can beat Momonga and Dalmation since he never used gears when he fought them and was exhausted. Sentomaru was clearly portrayed as superior to Pre TS Luffy.I suppose those are fair points. Whether or not Luffy can break Sentomaru's Haki is speculation, but we don't have much saying one way or the other. I still think Sentomaru, by portrayal, was stronger than Luffy pre-skip, but after reading this it probably won't be low diff.
