That is your logic.
Oda simply pulled as ass pull for Luffy to win as i've said. When she said counter is was a counter seeing as you can't fry rubber with Electricity you completely took it to another level. also this.
BB gravity abilities pulled Ace closer yet when used on Sabo his fire body was used at hand another case of inconsistency in the earlier Manga to handle logia's.
Lightning is a plasma. Not a stream of pure electromantic energy. Its super heated gas that has waaayyy to much energy and forms in pillars in the sky to complete paths to let off that energy if those paths cant be made Lightning cannot form. If you have rubber tires lightning cannot strike you. Insulators have a terrible time accepting voltage or flow of electrons due to high stability in there electron cloud. That translates to rubber being very unwilling to take in energy from lightning. Enel is lightning by nature he cannot release energy into rubber I.E. When luffy touches him even in the real world Enel must become physical because all and any pathways were blocked by the introduction of an insulator.
even in the real world this makes sense. You are just
fucking stupid.
Now that we are over that. Lets talk about Crocodile. SAND CLUMPS UP WHEN IT GETS WET!
ever been to the beach sh
it head? Nope cause your parents locked you in the basement as a child. It was the right thing for them to do but I digress.
Crocodile like enel takes the properties of the material that they represent. Sand doesnt fall apart when introduced to water = Being made of sand means you can't fall apart when introduced into water. Got it?
