Luffy beating Enel because Rubber>Lightning was asspull as well. Enel was new world material.

How is that an asspull? That's logic. It's just a bad matchup for Enel and his confidence got the best of him.

And I suppose it would be an asspull if Jinbe extinguished the Mera Mera with water, it was an asspull when magma melted Aokiji's ice, ...

By your logic if water puts out fire it is an asspull

Oh come one guys. The heat from Enel's bolts should have harmed Luffy.

yes you are right also rubber does conduct electricity if the volts are high enough so he shoulda been electrocuted also, but that's not an asspull it's called plot shield.

We can't actually say this. We don't know the full properties of Devil Fruits, as Oda said Vegapunk is gonna explain them some time in the future. It's fully possible that the supernatural qualities of Devil Fruit's aren't scientifically specific to the elements they exhibit. It's possible that the supernatural qualities is enough for rubber to be completely unaffected by that of lightning. It's a supernatural power, not exact real rubber and lightning.

This is even more obvious by the fact that, even though he's rubber, Luffy still heals like flesh, even though real rubber can't just "heal" from a hole, and from the fact that Enel's lightning never stopped anyone's hearts. Basically put, it's a fictional story, suspension of disbelief is a given, don't take everything at face value.

good points. The reason I have a problem with the whole deal is that Enel is clearly one of the most op fighters because of his df. He could easily take out Lucci, and hold his own against many of the higher tiers.

Topic starter's poor taste in manga shouldn't deserve it's own thread.

Oda stated the exact opposite, many of the high tiers would defeat Enel.

I think Oda picks and chooses which real life logic he likes to apply to DF users.

I mean he should have melted being in Aces ring of fire, but he was still fine.

That's still a bit vague. He confirmed Enel wouldn't be the strongest (obviously). Doesn't change my mind. Enel is new world material and should not have been introduced so early.

Naruto has even more asspulls. XD
How many and you can name them?

I didn't witness something as bad as surviving a bomb like bell in Naruto, but that's more of a plot hole than an asspull.

I completely agree with this though, that he was introduced very early
