[Question] Is Law a let down?

[Bogard]

Doflamingo fought Law and Luffy back to back and won(Luffy should tank entire dressrosa, otherwise, he'd be dead by now). From that point, it became clear as day for me that he simply is on another level compared to Monster trio level characters. On a side note, i wonder why this thread turned into a Doffy vs Zoro one

 

[Punk Hazard]

In his current title his Just one hit doesn't outweighs luffys normal powered attacks and even DD strings tackled gamma knife like nothing

Actually, that's exactly how it works. Law's arsenal is built around hax. As in, all the damage he does in done through certain abilities that make the match for him short. It's not like Luffy's fighting style where you beat your damage into your opponent little by little in an extended battle, you do all of the damage all at once through a few techniques. Luffy beat down Doflamingo for 20 minutes, and it left him immobile for a few moments as his string repaired the damage. Law's Gamma Knife accomplished the same effect in a few seconds. That's the different between hax and brute strength; the result is the same but the former does it all at once while the latter does it over time piece by piece.

It said one shot but can we really call it a 1-shot after everything that's happened in this battle? I hope people don't start saying whatever Luffy does next week is a one shot tech. because that's not really gonna be accurately show cased here(the attack may in fact be a real 1 shot but using it here I don't feel proves it)

Knowing NB they prob. will. I was already worried that people will think Luffy could defeat a healthy Doffy after this fight & ignore the amount of damage Law caused to Doffy before gear 4th.

Law has been very impressive but he doesn't reach up to the expectations. He should have done more with his awesome fruit at least more than a person who was just fighting with the giant animals on an unknown island for two years and plus he was also surviving in the strong new world which should make him more invincible than any other rookie pirates.

EXACTLY My point

Luffy upgraged his simple Gomu Gomu into Hax gears. Law, the wielder of the Ope Ope no mi, cant ****ing modify his own body or even make a CLONE, which Nico Robin accomplished. Its a jk

Law would be even stronger had he even pre TS level Luffy strength. So far his strength feats are only when he counter blocked Overheat (it just wrapped round his sword). Luffy pre TS was tossing boulders injured and Law hasnt shown anything like tht post TS

 

[sage1999]

Law is like the Hiruzen of One Piece. So full of hax and the "strongest DF user" but in reality is outclassed my members of the brute strength class

 

[ultraChalk]

doffy would low diff zoro in a one on one fight they r not comparable in any since...

I would argue that Zoro's style of fighting would provide the best defense against Mingos abilities than Laws or Luffys, which have been to evade.

nah law (because of devil fruit and intellegence, and battle analyzation) and sanji (due to fighting style flight reaction and regualr speed but is not strong enough as he got low diffed) is capable more so then fighting mingo zoro always likes to be a tank which is not good with mingo tbh and he has amazing reaction speed but not so much movement speed (as he was getting outclassed by pica entire fight in terms of running and moving tho zoro had upper hand inn eveyrhting else..)

That doesn't matter because Law isn't a brute strength fighter. Brute strength isn't the only kind of fighting there is, though it may be the most common. Look at Kuzan. He isn't a brute strength fighter, he hasn't shown the same brute strength feats as Luffy, but the way he fights works for him due to the hax of being able to freeze for miles at a time.

Same as Akainu. He has brute strength, but his fighting style revolves around the intense heat and destructive capabilities of his fruit overpowering his enemies' defenses.

Even Whitebeard is kind of the same. While he has brute strength, his fruit also carries a lot of hax. Whitebeard is an example of hax mixed with brute strength perfectly.

Against Law, nothing but pure strength will mess you up. If you just go charging in fist-first, that's how you get caught by hax. Look at Vergo. He thought he could just go charging in with his strongest punch, and he'd be fine, and he got caught by hax. A careless enemy, just for a single second, will get defeated by hax. That's what happened Jozu at Marineford.

It's because I said that Zoro is juts below characters like Joker when it comes to tanking. But some other dude mistook it for Zoro being nearly as strong as Joker.

Actually law isn't as strong as he shloud be as a shichibukai but the fans will not understand this thing bcoz he is extremely overhyped character but he deserve to be a supernova.

How is he not as strong as a Shichibukai should be?

 

[sage1999]

hv u cn Doflamingo and Mihawk?

So I guess Crocodile, Jinbe, and Hancock shouldn't be/have been Warlords either.

 

[sage1999]

crocodile was just nerfed down asf in Alabasta (survives blow by Jozu in diamond form but not gear-less Luffy). We haven't seen much of Hancock but she seems formidable cos she has all 3 hakis. Jinbei cant apparently use Haki pre-TS as he couldn't injure Akainu.

Hancock and Jinbe are pretty powerful, from what little we have seen.

Not only does Hancock possess mastery over all three forms of Haki but she has what is easily one of the most deadly DF powers in One Piece universe.

Neither could Marco and Vista when they struck him with Haki.

Was it ever stated that Hancock had mastery of all three forms of Haki? As far as I recall, it was only ever stated she had Busoshoku and Haoshoku, but not that she had mastery of all three.

I just do't understand how people will say this, and then if a thread about how One Piece or Oda sucks or is inferior to another manga, people will also say "A strong point about Oda is how he doesn't just follow the main character above all trope, he develops and involves his side characters just as much." Like, which one you believe fam?

Not sure what you mean by this my friend. Law will still get development but there can only be one Pirate king, so saying Oda develops all his characters just as much as Luffy is a huge lie.
