One Piece: Alabasta -> Skypiea Key Merge
I got a haircut but I'm still ripping the hair out of my scalp for this verse.
Let's get busy.
#1 Nobody grows over the course of the end of Alabasta to the middle of Skypiea
#2 The top tier fighters are all relative in both arcs
#3 The guards of Cobra are strong, but they are weaker than the Monster Trio
#4 The guards of Cobra scale to Pell's durability feat.
Focusing on the primary ones
Pell got put down by a shot from Miss Father's Day, the counterpart of Mr. 7, the 8th strongest man of the collective of Baroque Works, while Pell's ally, Chaka, could block an attack from Crocodile (the strongest man) and stall him for a few minutes, even after Crocodile almost incapacitated him, with Crocodile acknowledging him for even still being alive, implying that he intended to kill him.
This is impressive, because even Nico Robin, who dispatched Pell in the first place, struggled to keep up with Crocodile, showing that Chaka doing so is a large testament to his power.
Chaka showcased himself, strength and durability wise, to be superior to the likes of a weakened Pell. Chaka, when he gets a profile, should scale above an injured Pell's durability.
Chaka's AP rating will scale to a suppressed Crocodile, who scales above Chaka's durability, who scales above a weakened Pell.
In his full capabilities, Pell should scale to Chaka, as he's recognized as the strongest soldier of Alabasta.
Next
As Cobra states "Crocodile slays my soldiers as though they were mere bugs, and yet he..."
The intention of Oda in this panel showing Pell's helplessness yet showing Luffy's strength implies that Luffy is superior to the likes of Pell.
The Monster Trio does scale from Luffy, but it's supported even more due to the showings that they were able of dispatching the top 3 Baroque Works members as well.
On top of that, Zoro took an even stronger bullet than the one Pell took, and he was relatively better afterwards.
A weakened Pell should validly be the measurement of the rest of the team.
Now
These guys are all relative.
Daz Bones and Bon Clay are in the same ballpark.
Zala ~ Daz ~ Bon.
Zoro fights Daz as an equal, wins.
Sanji fights Bon as an equal, wins.
Alabasta Zoro is equal to Luffy.
Luffy fights Crocodile as an equal and wins with a rage amp.
Sanji said Satori is strong.
Shura fought Gan Fall hand in hand.
Wyper stated that Gan Fall and the Priests are capable of killing each other.
The priests (Ohm and Gedatsu) noted that taking out Gan Fall was a great blow but losing Satori was another, and that out Satori shows that they underestimated the enemy.
Shandia vs Birka. Braham vs Shura. Wyper and Gedatsu. Kamakiri and Ohm. The war shows that the 3 captains of Birka can combat the priests captains of Shandia.
They note that Kamakiri wasn't injured in battle, but he was trying to protect Raki.
Again, they note that Satori was a threat.
Shura was on the level of Gan Fall and Braham regularly, but with his Ordeal of String he almost defeated all of Birka singlehandedly if not for Wyper.
Zoro and Braham went hit for hit.
Luffy and Wyper went hit for hit.
Robin got pressured bad by Yama, even without the dials.
Zoro said Wyper was strong when they clashed.
Shura and Ohm clashed.
Zoro can fight Ohm, his weapon is just too much.
Enel visibly struggles with Zoro and compliments his capabilities.
We know of Luffy vs Enel. I'm not sending all that.
The last point of nobody growing is just cause they don't actually increase in any caliber. We just arbitrarily split the keys.
The new scaling chain will scale off of Chaka and Pell due to scaling above an injured Pell.

Alabasta & Skypiea Scaling
Through my many rereads of Alabasta and Skypiea, I've learned a few things.#1 Nobody grows over the course of the end of Alabasta to the middle of Skypiea
#2 The top tier fighters are all relative in both arcs
#3 The guards of Cobra are strong, but they are weaker than the Monster Trio
#4 The guards of Cobra scale to Pell's durability feat.
Focusing on the primary ones
The guards of Cobra scale to Pell's durability feat.
Pell, who withstood the explosion, was already extremely injured
So we recognize with Pell that after he fought Robin, Pell is at the point of where he is incapable of even solidly standing up straight.Pell got put down by a shot from Miss Father's Day, the counterpart of Mr. 7, the 8th strongest man of the collective of Baroque Works, while Pell's ally, Chaka, could block an attack from Crocodile (the strongest man) and stall him for a few minutes, even after Crocodile almost incapacitated him, with Crocodile acknowledging him for even still being alive, implying that he intended to kill him.
This is impressive, because even Nico Robin, who dispatched Pell in the first place, struggled to keep up with Crocodile, showing that Chaka doing so is a large testament to his power.
Chaka showcased himself, strength and durability wise, to be superior to the likes of a weakened Pell. Chaka, when he gets a profile, should scale above an injured Pell's durability.
Chaka's AP rating will scale to a suppressed Crocodile, who scales above Chaka's durability, who scales above a weakened Pell.
In his full capabilities, Pell should scale to Chaka, as he's recognized as the strongest soldier of Alabasta.
Next
The guards of Cobra are strong, but they are weaker than the Monster Trio
Cobra's reaction to the capabilities of Luffy showcases that Luffy is superior to them.As Cobra states "Crocodile slays my soldiers as though they were mere bugs, and yet he..."
The intention of Oda in this panel showing Pell's helplessness yet showing Luffy's strength implies that Luffy is superior to the likes of Pell.
The Monster Trio does scale from Luffy, but it's supported even more due to the showings that they were able of dispatching the top 3 Baroque Works members as well.
On top of that, Zoro took an even stronger bullet than the one Pell took, and he was relatively better afterwards.
A weakened Pell should validly be the measurement of the rest of the team.
Now
The top tier fighters are all relative in both arcs
The top tier fighters consist of members of a few factions
Straw Hat Pirates
- Luffy
- Zoro
- Sanji
- Robin (Miss All Sunday)
Baroque Works
- Mr. 0 (Crocodile)
- Ms. All Sunday (Nico Robin)
- Mr. 1 (Daz Bones)
- Ms. Doublefinger (Zala)
- Mr. 2 (Bon Clay)
Skypieans
- Gan Fall
Shandians
- Wyper
- Kamakiri
- Braham
Birkans
- Enel
- Ohm
- Shura
- Gedatsu
- Satori
- Commander Yama
These guys are all relative.
Alabasta
Male and Female partners are equals.Daz Bones and Bon Clay are in the same ballpark.
Zala ~ Daz ~ Bon.
Zoro fights Daz as an equal, wins.
Sanji fights Bon as an equal, wins.
Alabasta Zoro is equal to Luffy.
Luffy fights Crocodile as an equal and wins with a rage amp.
Skypiea
Satori fought Luffy Sanji and Usopp, yes through Impact Dials primarily, but AP wise he slams Luffy into a tree to where it caused noticeable discomfort (while Luffy has a resistance, it still shows he's a threat, akin to Koro).Sanji said Satori is strong.
Shura fought Gan Fall hand in hand.
Wyper stated that Gan Fall and the Priests are capable of killing each other.
The priests (Ohm and Gedatsu) noted that taking out Gan Fall was a great blow but losing Satori was another, and that out Satori shows that they underestimated the enemy.
Shandia vs Birka. Braham vs Shura. Wyper and Gedatsu. Kamakiri and Ohm. The war shows that the 3 captains of Birka can combat the priests captains of Shandia.
