[Question] Speed of sound?

[ultraChalk]

Do you believe any characters can move at the speed of sound+?

I think Luffy achieved that after his training and everybody his level and above can as well.
It will be very interesting to see a big guy like Blackbeard moving around like that too...

 

[Venomous Cobra]

I'd say only kizaru can move at such speed or higher for now.

 

[Hexuze]

Aside from Kizaru, that's tough to say. I do think Sanji can doing it eventually and it's possible for Luffy to do so in gear 4th. (if there are more forms as predicted)

Not sure, but didn't luffy break the sound barrier?

 

[Anduril]

Mehh... I don't think real world science applies to OP verse.

Nah he didn't.

 

[SharinganisOP]

Kuma, enel, and Kizaru's devil fruits all should allow them to move as fast or faster than sound imo. Whether or not they are actually moving faster than sound, i'm unsure.

I also think Luffy's rubber should allow him to move at the speed of sound. In gear second he may or may not be moving at the speed of sound with his entire body, but his punches/kicks probably are. Same with his gear fourth attacks.

Soru users may also be able to move at the speed of sound.

But being able to move at the speed of sound doesn't matter too much when people have observation haki.

 

[Naruto Power]

only enel and wg light guy because light is faster then sound
that maybe what oda is trying to show wit luffys gear 4
with his arms looking like cannons. a punch = cannon to the face

 

[ArabianLuffy]

Kicking air is harder than moving at speed of sound if you look at the science of Rokushiki, Gippo.

 

[KingHashirama]

Probably alot of top tier speedsters. I bet that fatso on Shank's team is fast like that XD


But Kizaru is well above the speed of sound.

 

[YellowFang]

BB ain't gonna be a speed-type... He'd be like a tank.

 

[LitzSabr]

Speed of sound is practically a joke at this point in OP verse. Luffy could move at hypersonic speed even back in enies lobby.

Oh come on, you can't even believe that would be true.

One Piece characters are fast, but they're not faster than a fighter jet.

Only Logia in their elements might be faster than that like Enel and Kizaru and some exceptions.

Enel, Kuma, and Kizaru have surpassed that.

I'm not making this up myself though. They have actual feats which make them faster than that. Just like the recent one of Luffy dodging a liquid explosion from point blank range without even using gear 2nd. Thats at the very least a 100 mach feat and its not even that great considering Luffy can do much better.

yes 100 mach.. and yet they get hit with pistol bullets and fight with swords.

So if you look over the incidental 'feats' that you need to take with a grain of salt because it's an unrealistic world, and just use your common sense you would come to the conclusion that they're just a lot faster than normal humans but nowhere near speed of sound or anything like that.

Do you really think Oda is calculation the speed of explosions or do you think he just wants Luffy to dodge it because he is 'fast'.

Fighting with swords proves really nothing, because the person behind it is fast as well. And pistols bullets aren't any problem for capable fighters in op verse unless there are special circumstances. We've seen this many times, Luffy have dodged bullets from close range numerous times. They've been doing this since the very beginning.
They never really show this kind of speed feats when going over long distances, probably for reasons like stamina but its still there and they can do use it while fighting and can cover short distances in with that kind of speed.

Most likely Oda did, because he too has some common sense considering its easy to understand that dodging an explosion like that after it just expanded requires the person to be very fast.. And its not the only example. And most of the rules of our real life also applies to his world as well. While people having supernatural abilities is indeed different, we can however calculate the effect of their powers, what it grants to them while comparing them to the things we already know. Ignoring them to me is not common sense just because one want to label the world unrealistic as a whole, why do you even bring up terms like speed of sound then? Are you sure that the speed of sound in opverse is the same as our world and that they are slower than that?
The feats are there and and they've been doing things like this for a long time now while keeping inconsistencies as low as possible. So I don't see why something like this present in the manga should be ignored.
If a character easily dodged something that obviously shows that he is faster. But how fast if asked can also be told from what he did.

Considering people Luffy could dodge lighting and lighting can range from Hypersonic to Massivley Hypersonic speed what the other guy is saying isn't crazy.

You do realise no note worthy character is getting tagged by bullets in a normal situation as for them fighting with swords I don't see how that matter when the have Massivley hypersonic combat speeds.

 

[Love Cook]

Yea I give up. Not even going to reply to this bullshit anymore.

Luffy is 30 times faster than a fighter jet confirmed.

Again, Luffy dodging Enel's ligtning or evading an explosion doesn't make him mach 100 or lightspeed. That makes him just fast because it's a fictional manga. People can follow fights watching in the streets just fine, meaning they're not even close to the kind of speeds you're talking about. This isnt dragon ball z.

bye nerds.

Lightning is faster than sound speed and Kalifa could react to/block a 1meter away falling lightning. Speed of sound is nothing in the One Piece World nowadays. High tier fighters are already massively hypersonic+ in movement speed, let alone top tiers
