You just said "so I'm going with the only incarnations of them that we've seen" then say "if you add a little CoA." So which is it? If you're adding COA to the equation then it's not the only incarnations we've seen. CoA should only be considered if we're considering possible growth of the characters in which case growth should also be applied to Enel. If you add haki to Luci why not add it to Enel too? You're skewing your point when only giving an edge to one side.
Excuse my French, but in no manifestation did that make any rational sense from any logical standpoint.
"Which is it" First of all, the two quotes that you so articulately compiled do not contradict or contest in each other whatsoever. I do not have to choose. Are you aware of the denotation for the word "incarnation"? It's a physical embodiment of something. The only physical embodiments we've seen of Lucci and Enel are their PTS counterparts.
You've at least a rudimentary understanding of addition, do you not? Too add is to put two things together. Now, how would that contradict the fact that Lucci and Enel have only been seen on two arc occasions in manga and fabricating a what-if moveset and stat increase over a time-skip (despite not knowing what either has achieved in that time) is brain-dead fan-fiction at worst and confirmatory bias at best? I insist, elaborate on how giving Lucci the ability to
touch him would somehow realty-warp these circumstances.
Growth? Lol. Excuse me? What growth? You mean keeping his stats and moveset
exactly the same, but only giving him the ability to actually touch Enel? I am genuinely astounded, giving Lucci the ability to
touch enel is an unfair buff to sway opinion? This is irrefutable evidence that Sargon's law is alive and well. Mon Frere, the only one feigning the illegitimate for the sake of their outlandish narrative is you.
You just want to contest this so badly, don't you? Lucci doesn't even need haki. Give him a thick pair of rubber gloves and he face-f*cks Enel until his skull breaks. Give Enel Admiral-level CoA, it changes nothing. He couldn't even TOUCH Lucci. Hell, Enel wouldn't even be able to
react to his most casual movements while at base.
Hombre, a Seastone jitte is overkill.
Haki or not, if Lucci can physically touch Enel than he babies him. NO-diff. If you want to conjure up some random stats for a hypothetical post-skip Lucci and Enel that's fine, but I'll stick with what we know. You know, to avoid
asserting my opinion as fact. The irony.
