I wonder what good bring up Blackbeard can do when we're talking about Magellan. Magellan isn't Blackbeard. BB actually had feats in his favor when Magellan has none. Blackbeard isn't as stoic as other top guys but his endurance is clearly at the top along with other top dogs.

OT: Luffy wins by feats.

Why don't you actually prove me wrong instead of posting irrelevant stuff? Let me know when you have proofs to say that Magellan is as much of a tank as Blackbeard.
That's. Not. The. Point. People say Magellan is weak and overrated because he was brought down to his knees by a Bazooka and took damage from pre-skip, pre-Haki Luffy. So did Teach, and he was the top Yonko candidate DAYS later and took attacks from people like Sengoku and Whitebeard THAT SAME DAY. So, no, just because Magellan was hurt by Luffy doesn't mean he's weak or overrated because a character with the aforementioned characteristics suffered the same damage. A Jet Pistol left Teach bleeding, but didn't break Magellan's skin.

This is why we have portrayal. Magellan was portrayed to be on another level compared to guys like Ivankov and Jimbei. Just like Teach was to a lesser extent, so getting hurt by pre skip Luffy, doesn't erase his portrayal. Ivankov should atleast be post skip M3 level and he got low-mid diffed by Magellan, THAT is what pretty much overrides pre skip Luffy hurting Magellan since we've seen a post skip M3 level character suffering a similar fate to Luffy.

So that whole "Oh Magellan doesn't have any feats against strong characters" deal doesn't work.

How does Teach go from being noticeably harmed by a jet pistol to shrugging off attacks from Whitebeard and Sengoku? Sounds like BBs feats are inconsistent, his fruit doubles damage to his body but yet he shrugged off attacks from people much stronger than Luffy better than he could that jet pistol.

I mean its like the damage he received from WB and Sengoku were treated just about as equal to the jet pistol he took from Luffy.

Ask ****ing Oda? You're saying this to me like I drew Teach being damaged by the Jet Pistol and then taking the shockwave later on in the same day.

Also, his fruit increases the amount of pain he feels, not the amount of damage done to his body. A burn on his arm is still a burn on his arm, it'd just hurt a hell of a lot more.

exactly the point. Luffy was hurting people who he had no business hurting, BUT portrayal and other feats nullify Luffy's (who is shielded by plots) feats. If they don't have this extra portrayal and feats than it is fair game to judge them based off these things.

Same deal with Luffy tanking Sengoku's attack to some extent. Don't take it too seriously he's the main character after all.

If luffy does win, then its with high difficulty.

I think some of you are underrating Megellan's abilities. This man, as leader of Impel Down, was portrayed as stronger than the prisoner's that were held there, including Ace.

This is why we have portrayal. Magellan was portrayed to be on another level compared to guys like Ivankov and Jimbei. Just like Teach was to a lesser extent, so getting hurt by pre skip Luffy, doesn't erase his portrayal. Ivankov should atleast be post skip M3 level and he got low-mid diffed by Magellan, THAT is what pretty much overrides pre skip Luffy hurting Magellan since we've seen a post skip M3 level character suffering a similar fate to Luffy.

How do you know that Ivankov was low diff'd by Megellan?

I do know how portrayal works. Magellan is similar to people like Crocodile and Enel, albeit he's better than them. They'd trash others as long as their abilities work and get trashed if their ability gets countered. It was clearly proved in his battle with Luffy, Luffy did fine against Magellan and actually forced him to use his apparent ultimate move when he had means to fight without having to worry about Magellan's ability which is something even Iva couldn't do. Besides this so called portrayal of him comes mostly from his fruit, it adds nothing to his physical capabilities whatsoever so you definitely can't use Blackbeard as a reference to justify Magellan's portrayal. Magellan's one of few people to whom you can't simply apply ABC logic so him defeating Iva means nothing. Besides I seriously don't think Iva's portrayal was justified against Magellan if he really is as strong as if not stronger than current M3. I don't get how Magellan can fight against these attacks [ ] [ ] let alone G4.

I have never said that he's on the same level as Crocodile and Enel. I explicitly said that he's better than aforementioned two. I said he's similar as most of his hype is composed of his fruit not his physical prowess much like Enel and Crocodile. Luffy kept up with his attacks , avoided him and was able to hit him head on numerous occasions. He only lost because he had no counter for his poison. Luffy did fine as far as it concerns raw skills.

Those are all attacks even a Pacifista could tank without much problems so I don't see how he'd be so great by tanking them.Besides you ignored so many details in your post. Some of the attacks such as Iva's hell wink while they were jumping into the sea,Death wink during their battle and Luffy's jet pistol didn't even directly hit him and much of same can be said about the canon balls given the fact he was surrounded by his poison.


Magellan cough blood after Jet Bazooka. [ ] Bottom panel. Remember that was Luffy in a weakened state. It's definitely not appropriate to say that he didn't take any damage when he was panting after taking one hit from Luffy's JB which can be clearly seen here. [ ] Luffy then used Jet Gun which again had considerable effect on him. [ ] Only attacks he tanked without any visible effect are the attacks form base Luffy. I don't know when exactly Iva landed a hit on him but he had blood coming out of his head after the end of his fight with Iva. [ ]

Thank you....I was just about to compile this before I saw your post.....since when was Magellan like Enel and Croc? Even when Magellans fruit was comprimised, Magellan was the superior fighter as Luffys most powerful attacks couldnt do jack shit.

This whole notion where Magellan is a fodder behind his fruit needs to end.

Magellan coughed blood because of Jet Bazooka. A Jet Pistol sent someone who was top candidate for Yonko a few weeks later flying and made them cough blood. A Gear 2 punch busted Garp's face open. All this happened in the same day. Clearly, Magellan, Garp and this top Yonko candidate were weaker than most by portrayal.
