Ubel vs Boa 2: Now with more Kachon

Not open for further replies.
That's a cool point, but that's not how the current standard is and it's a false equivalent. Magic is a concept with generalized idea, Devil Fruits are a wide variety of things that can range from "I shoot fire at you" to "Literally being hit with an elephant" done via biological traits. Resistance to Devil Fruit abilities doesn't make you resistant to specifically Devil Fruit Rhinos, because that's not how it works. It's resistant to the effects because they can resist said effects, not because of any unique property of a devil fruit. If you have an issue with how the verse is then by all means make a CRT for it on why Haki is somehow related to water or can only apply to devil fruits and such should be added to the weaknesses.
Not at all. A CRT would be needed to expand haki's resistance beyond merely devil fruits. That's simply the result of how it's written on the page. The fact that resistances to abilities covered by "devil fruit resistance" are listed separately when they have a non-DF feat drills that in.

If it was limited to just Devil Fruits there would be a note about it in the weakness section, which there isn't.

Nope, not how it works. In fact if we want to rules lawyer this for real lemme amp up me autism real quick...

If we read the fine print of Haki under the 'Initial Stage' category, it specifically says "Resistance to Devil Fruit abilities" not Devil Fruits. Which means text as written directly states that the abilities of the devil fruits are being resisted, not the devil fruits themselves. As for the point of "listed separately when they have a non-DF feat drills that in" have you considered the fact that other devil fruit specific examples are right next to it, indicating clearly that it's just there for more specific on-hand examples of Haki rather than any non-existent weakness it may have?

This doesn't work. It is a resistance to abilities that originate from devil fruits. Abilities that do not originate from devil fruits are not covered as a result. A resistance to the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit is not a resistance to fire manipulation, but fire manipulation originating from a devil fruit ability. If it wasn't like this, it wouldn't be written that way.

It's literally the exact same rules as what gets applied to magic resistance. Devil Fruit abilities being a verse-specific power does not render them immune to this stipulation, it actually hinders them more. At least with magic resistance or curse resistance you can feasibly resist magic and curses from other verses.
 
This is factually untrue.
On what basis?
There would be no connection any longer to due Moria's power.
No? Morias power controls them he doesn't rewrite their past relationships
The fact that someone asked

"Hey Oda Garp was able to punch and hurt Luffy. Was it Haki or the power of love"
and he responded
"It was the power of love, in this case."

What suggests that this is a gag?
"The power of love" isn't used as justification to do stuff like this consistently and only happens under a circumstance that can be explained as a gag moment with Luffy being scared of garp to the point something like this just happens for the sake of comedic relief

It's like Goku being scared of chi chi or smth
Via willpower manipulation.
And tell me...how is she using will manipulation?
How would Salome's entire body be seen by Ubel when half of her is wrapped around Hancock's body?
That's a fair point although I don't recall salome having any feats so she's getting one shotted the moment she tried getting near ubel.

You could try to argue this would break ubels line of sight however ubel could just swing at her without looking away
???? You have to learn to use it subconsciously in order for it to be combat applicable. Have you ever read One Piece?

Now I'll admit that's a mistake on my part since I along with the majority of the fandom are more focused on what's going on currently than whatever we were reading years ago but pulling the "Did you even read/watch X card" is kinda cringe

Yeah I watched and read OP I just forgot Rayleigh said it was subconscious because marineford ended years ago 😭
The amp happens simultaneously as the precog and everything else occurs.
So its passive then? Forgot but was the amp FTE?

Do you have a vote

Vegapunk's description that there's no logical or scientific explanation. He completely released all individual will from Kuma.

Because Garp literally uses the Fist of Love. It's a thing specific to him. It's not a gag moment. I'm not going to argue this point further.
That's a fair point although I don't recall salome having any feats so she's getting one shotted the moment she tried getting near ubel.

Hancock uses Salome as a blunt weapon so its durability scales to her AP.
So its passive then? Forgot but was the amp FTE?
It can work against enemies that would normally be FTE, yes.

Proof? It says it's resistant to Devil Fruit abilities, not abilities originating from Devil Fruits. We got knowledgeable members defending one interpretation over the other so while you may not be convinced our unwilling crowd are free to make their own interpretations.

It's literally the exact same rules as what gets applied to magic resistance. Devil Fruit abilities being a verse-specific power does not render them immune to this stipulation, it actually hinders them more. At least with magic resistance or curse resistance you can feasibly resist magic and curses from other verses.
Nah, resistance to Magic is specified as resistance to Magic, not magic abilities. Fire originating from a devil fruit vs natural fire has no practical differences between one another except for obvious things like potential heat and potency, as the element they generate are both considered natural. You aren't arguing 'Specific resistance to a generalized power system' you are arguing 'NAH, THIS FIRE ISN'T FIRE BECAUSE X GENERATED IT FROM HIS BODY". Devil fruits have no unique property that would separate them from the average normal example of whatever equivalent we are talking about, if you have proof of the contrary then please provide it.
 
It says it's resistant to Devil Fruit abilities, not abilities originating from Devil Fruits.
These are synonymous phrases. There's no such thing as a Devil Fruit ability that doesn't originate from a Devil Fruit. Otherwise it would just be "an ability."

Nah, resistance to Magic is specified as resistance to Magic, not magic abilities.
Again, synonyms. If being Devil Fruit abilities did not render them distinct, it should not be listed as resistance to Devil Fruit abilities. I won't make you keep responding but this absolutely will come up again in the future. I'd hope a CRT is made at some point to list every resistance and/or clarify that it covers more than just devil fruits.
 
Blizzard already replied but I'll still reply and explain
Until there is such a list of resistances on the page, or it's clarified on the page that "Resistace to Devil Fruits" also means "Resistance to not-Devil Fruits", you can't claim that haki's resistance extends to more than just devil fruits, just as someone with magic resistance can't resist non-magic, and someone who negates mana can't nullify haki.
You're misunderstanding something... Haki doesn't resist Devil Fruits, you keep trying to say that, it only resist the abilities that are utilized by devil fruits... Those abilities work the same as any other, shown and stated throughout all of One Piece (Hence their abilities can be recreated through science). The Devil fruit page already claims devil fruit abilities to function as any other (which is already linked in the haki page)

For example if you used magic that work/has the same property as fire, it would simply resist it the same way against that, if the magic fire has a different property, making it so that it has erasing properties than it would be different otherwise they work and function the same.

It's like saying resisting fire from a flamethrower doesn't extend to resisting fire from a campfire, which makes no sense... They both produce the same property, meaning that property still gets resisted
 
Vegapunk's description that there's no logical or scientific explanation. He completely released all individual will from Kuma.
How exactly do we not know that isn't vegapunk simply saying he can't find/give one?
Again... have you read One Piece

Ah yes forgetting human relationships is definitely the same as rewriting them to where such events straight up didn't happen
Because Garp literally uses the Fist of Love. It's a thing specific to him. It's not a gag moment. I'm not going to argue this point further.
Garp from what I remember when referred to seriously as to how he fights just uses "the fist" as in his fists.

No marine is actively calling garps fighting style "the fists of love"
Hancock uses Salome as a blunt weapon so its durability scales to her AP.
This doesn't help against dura neg
It can work against enemies that would normally be FTE, yes.
Across what distance? Can boa just blitz ppl from tens of meters away with FTE for example with intermediate stage CoO for example?
 
Those abilities work the same as any other, shown and stated throughout all of One Piece (Hence their abilities can be recreated through science). The Devil fruit page already claims devil fruit abilities to function as any other (which is already linked in the haki page)
Can you link the part of the page or the scan that says this? It's late, I've read through the page, and didn't see it.
 
How exactly do we not know that isn't vegapunk simply saying he can't find/give one?
Because Vegapunk is the smartest man in the world who has researched every academic and non-academic subject and has a devil fruit which allows him to recall any information that he's ever come across in his life. If the answer was so simple that "VS Battles Wiki user @Delusionaltx2" could find it, why on God's green Earth wouldn't he?
Ah yes forgetting human relationships is definitely the same as rewriting them to where such events straight up didn't happen
What exactly is your point here? You're not following. Sanji erasing all of his past and memories would make what happened an impossibility. But Love is a Hurricane which makes the impossible possible. And Hancock can weaponize that love.

That's not Garp's fighting style. It's what Garp uses to fight those he loves, like Ace, Luffy, and Sabo.
This doesn't help against dura neg
Which she has to take her eyes off of Hancock to do in order to visualize Salome
With Spell That Slashes Almost Anything: Reelseiden, she can can effortlessly slash through anything she can visualize slashing through
Across what distance? Can boa just blitz ppl from tens of meters away with FTE for example with intermediate stage CoO for example?
Short burst movements, hence why it is reactions.

1 Vegapunk has likely never seen something like this before?

2 we the reader see stuff outside his perspective so we can think of possible reasons as to why

You're not tracking. My argument was that ubel doesn't have any connections for the "power of love" to draw from which based off your examples is what's needed to work against people like ubel. Unless the power of love can work when the characters straight up don't have any relationship with each other or are unrelated in any way it wouldn't be applicable

Your counterargument is a scan that says characters forget their relationships when controlled. Events that are tied to them and things of that nature still happened and are still there forgetting them doesn't just magically make them disappear
That's not Garp's fighting style. It's what Garp uses to fight those he loves, like Ace, Luffy, and Sabo.
Again characters that garp is heavily connected to and bonds with proving my point
Which she has to take her eyes off of Hancock to do in order to visualize Salome
No? The arg is that she looks at Hancock while dura negging salame with a single swing the moment salome gets close
Short burst movements, hence why it is reactions.
So she can't blitz from range? SBA would have these guys start at 100s of meters because ubels mana detection has that range so if she can't blitz from that range it's useless then
 
2 things that should be mentioned.

First, mages in Frieren have power detection. Ubel herself is a First Class mage which makes her one of the best in the verse. She has access to power detection
(Mana detection enables users to sense the power of others)
She would be aware of Hancock's stats.

Why would an 8-A be able to visualize herself cutting a 5-C when she couldn't even visualize herself cutting through defensive spells because they're "supposed to block"

Second, magic in Frieren can be resisted using willpower

Willpower​

Stark_lightning_strike.gif

Willpower: In Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, even the strongest warriors have limited potential to overcome magical or supernatural abilities.
and can even break through magic


Ubel gets Haki diffed.

And Vegapunk is aware of the same perspective you and I are aware of. There is no explanation other than the one given and I don't know why you're trying so hard to shoehorn one in.

Kuma in a vegetable state with no connection to anything. That's what you're not understanding. All prior connection was wiped.
Your counterargument is a scan that says characters forget their relationships when controlled. Events that are tied to them and things of that nature still happened and are still there forgetting them doesn't just magically make them disappear
They were erased. Not just forgotten.
Again characters that garp is heavily connected to and bonds with proving my point
Your point that the power of love only works on those you have a connection to? Yeah, that's... how love works. Boa Hancock's SI literally works by creating that connection supernaturally, and it transcends whatever Ubel has going on via feats. You still have not rebottled (honestly it seems like you conceded this point) the fact that it can work on creatures and inanimate objects.
No? The arg is that she looks at Hancock while dura negging salame with a single swing the moment salome gets close
She needs to look at Salome.
So she can't blitz from range? SBA would have these guys start at 100s of meters because ubels mana detection has that range so if she can't blitz from that range it's useless then
SBA would have them start at 4 kilometers which gives Hancock even more of an advantage if anything. I assumed it started at ten meters like the last match, but this makes things even worse for Ubel.

Defensive spells are spells ment to defend the user hence ubel can't visualize just casually cutting through that

Here the only thing supposedly stoping her is Hancock's physicals and potentially her haki

From ubels POV she's cutting the skin of a person stronger than her which she's visualized before. "Skin" unlike defensive spells isn't traditionally seen as something ment to block an actual attack

Ubel wouldnt see armament haki because it would've been sealed away long before ubel gets in range

Second, magic in Frieren can be resisted using willpower

and can even break through magic



Ubel gets Haki diffed.
Brother..do you not see the problem with equating super natural willpower in one verse to supernatural will power in another? Even by wiki standards you can't do this 💀

From Ubel's POV she's cutting the skin of a person trillions of times more powerful than she is. There's no proof that she's capable of doing this.

Haki would not be sealed in the slightest.
Brother..do you not see the problem with equating super natural willpower in one verse to supernatural will power in another? Even by wiki standards you can't do this 💀
I'm not equating willpowers. Magic in Frieren quite literally can be suppressed by those with strong willpower. It's literally a mechanic of the power system in the same way that magic is a system based on visualization (It's why Kanne couldn't manipulate all of the water in a person's body).
 
Haki is not willpower, haki uses one's willpower... Wanted to say this just in case

How One Piece living beings work (Which I used to be confused in the past) is Haki <-> Spirit ~ Soul -> body

I lowkey would have to make an image on how everything works, it's connections and processes
 
Haki is not willpower, haki uses one's willpower... Wanted to say this just in case
Yeah I know. Hancock is a conqueror with extreme levels of willpower. She was literally getting choked out on the verge of death by Blackbeard who was threatening her and her nation with death, and was still looking down on him.
 
From Ubel's POV she's cutting the skin of a person trillions of times more powerful than she is. There's no proof that she's capable of doing this.
The very premise of her abilities combined with how she uses them is enough.

We see that when cutting something ubel doesn't specifically take strength into account but rather other things like their functions for example when faced with a mana cloak that those on her level couldn't cut she still cuts it anyway because from her pov cloth is very cuttable.

Like are we being dead*** rn? Even her profile says she can cut things she knows are impossible to cut which is listed as "enhanced subjective reality & law manip"
Haki would not be sealed in the slightest.

I'm not equating willpowers. Magic in Frieren quite literally can be suppressed by those with strong willpower.
Yes people in frieren can neg magic through willpower this is just a showing of stronger mages having supernatural willpower it doesn't equate because Hancock isn't from frieren so her willpower wouldn't do anything.

For example This is like saying "Goku has more willpower than asriel so he'd neg his DT with raw determination" it's stupid because willpower in undertale works completely differently from willpower in db. In the same sense willpower in frieren can neg the effects of magical abilities so its just supernatural willpower that works that way.
It's literally a mechanic of the power system in the same way that magic is a system based on visualization (It's why Kanne couldn't manipulate all of the water in a person's body).
Again this is just how willpower works in frieren. Also no kanne can't manipulate the water in a person's body because she'd have to visualize the specifics of it which Richter heavily implies she can't do by calling this out.

Had to slightly edit my example but my point still stands. You can't equate supernatural willpower in one verse to supernatural willpower in another verse so the arg that "Oh well, mages in frieren can resist magic through willpower so b-boa can just kill it with willpower" is a very fallacious argument and just horrendously bad in general

Ima keep it a buck with you, comparing willpower to willpower makes more sense then saying sealing magic means sealing willpower.

Not once did I post this? If your referring to what I said about sorganell and haki I said that haki is how they manipulate their willpower. Sorganell sealing haki prevents boa from using COC

It says this
強固な防御魔法も、彼女の「切れる」というイメージだけで一瞬で無きものになった。
Even strong defensive magic was reduced to nothing in an instant, just by her mental image of 'it can be cut'.

This doesn't imply anything that would say that she can visualize cutting Hancock. Or her Haki.

In the same sense willpower in frieren can neg the effects of magical abilities so it just supernatural willpower that works that way.
Is it willpower in frieren that negates magic? Or is it magic that is weak to strong willpower? Because this scene with Himmel and Frieren honestly implies that its the latter. It's not a special willpower that's in Frieren that allows negation of magic, it's magic that is weak to strong willpower because of its mechanics.
 
It says this
Sigh (ignoring the fact you just ignored everything I said here) please look at what "Enhanced subjective reality & Law manipulation"



This doesn't imply anything that would say that she can visualize cutting Hancock. Or her Haki.
She visualizes strong cloth as cloth which can be cut therefore she can cut it. Skin is something that can be cut therefore she can cut it.

Her haki would get sealed away making useless but even then "darker skin" can be cut therefore she can cut it

All this proves is that supernatural willpower in frieren exists as something separate from magic what does this do for boas stance????

That's where the quote I pulled came from.

Yeah, not when she can sense Hancock's power.

Not Haki emission.
