This ring is a big plot armour to hide true powerlevel in my opinion

People I believe this tournament Ring benefits

1)Rebecca-Because she uses an evasive style technique called Backwater sword dance. Her whole goal is not to beat physically but to kick out the ring. I really don't want this tourney to end in some billshit way even thoigh I'm one of those guys that like Rebecca

2)Diamante-This arc is so much like Arabasta. When I look at Diamante I automatically think of pell. Pell was the lead royal guard to the King and so is Diamante in a way. I think he is an eagle zoan user or he has some unfair advantage that helps him to fight dirty. If he could hover over the ring that would eliminate his chances of being knocked out. He could also destroy the ring with long ranged techniques so everybody loses. It would make sense why he is in charge of tourney because he is best suited to win tournament matches in the family.

My overall problem:I don't feel like at the end of this tourney we can properly gauge these fighters full strength because of that ring. I believe its some what of a cop out by Oda so after the tourney we can say Burgess,Bart or Sabo lost straight up because the ring isn't designed for straight up fighting

But even if I'm wrong with pell I don't think I'll be satisfied with how the tourney ends because DD is strategic everything he does is for a reason like Trebol protecting Sugar because of his DF.

The pipe is back and it's ready to lay down the smack down. Whatever fruit/advantage Diamante has, the pipe will punish him aswell.
Lol I agree can't wait for it I just wanted to see a fair match up so when Jesus Burgess get smashed their is no problem. I don't want him just getting kicked out the ring

this makes for more tactical battles the ring is designed for people to fall off im sure there is something in the water that they dont want to be falling into :|
Yeah it makes sense but at the end of the tourney we still won't know there full power level because they can't go all out because of the ring

Nice thinking there.
Although I think Sabo is the strongest i want Rebecca to have the fruit so I agree with this theory of your's ;)
Nice thread :p
Thanks I want her to have the DF to I think she can use the Mera Mera in a more strategic way

I never like the ring style from the start. Surrounded by water, it somewhat limits as to how intense/big a fight can get.
Though, IMO, if the conditions right now look against Sabo(not confirmed though) and in favor of Diamante, the inverse can also happen.. which is.. Sabo kicking the ass of Diamante even having the odds against him. Would be a good event to tell how strong he is.
As for Rebecca, if Oda has put her in the finals, then there must be a reason for it. Though, I don't see her winning against Diamante or Sabo even in terms of Speed. Also, I don't think that on this level Oda would troll and give her a win just by kicking someone in water. :p

The center ring is still the same ring that was used in the earlier rounds of the tournament. Only the outer rings have been added. If anything the new additions make it harder to get a ring out because if you can react quick enough or are lucky you can get knocked onto a platform rather than the water. Also I don't think Diamante looks like Pell that much at all and it's Alabasta not Arabasta.

Strategic way?
Explain more?
1)Ring of fire- RShe can use her speed to create flame circles around opponents and travel through the fire unlike Ace. Sge can then attack from every possible direction. Which goes with her evasive style fighting. You saw haw monet created the snow globe around Luffy then blended her self in the snow globe to attack Luffy. Same concept only thing a ring of fire

Example

2)Flight-Basically using her ability to fly. She can then fight long ranged and evade with her COO and send crazy flame attacks back at her opponents

3)Flame sword-For close ranged combat she could put flames around her sword to make it way more deadlier

I have way more ideas that would suit her style if she gets it
