[Jo-Smooth]

Sanji vs Shinra! Battle of the stylish fire kickers. This is gonna be Wano Sanji without the Raid Suit vs Divine Protection/Adolla Burst. Speed Unequalized (Relativistic+ Sanji for this fight). Sanji seems to have the AP Advantage, Shinra has the speed advantage, both have precog. Though Shinra should still have access to Superfire and Conra with Divine Protection on, and Sanji has Diable Jambe and armament haki amps.

Doesn't Shinra use Time Travel at SoL?

 

[Jo-Smooth]

2 of the 3 times he used it he time traveled.....Sort of. Based on what I've gathered in the verse "Time Stop" is relative to Lightspeed. When Shinra goes at the SoL, he stops time and breaks down into subatomic particles, and then when he goes FTL he travels back in time to the point where his body is returned to how it was before going lightspeed. He used Divine Protection 3 times so far.

The first against Sho

And the third time against Burns, though time travel didn't seem to apply here

[The_Calaca]

Sanji can't do much against Time hax and Shinra is strong enough to perform some damage even if Sanji resists Fire.

 

[Jo-Smooth]

How would Obs Haki interact with that? Or is that enough for it to be a stomp and closed thread?

 

[The_Calaca]

Haki can only predict Shinra is doing some crazy shit, but Sanji can't prevent Shinra from going FTL and going back in time to prevent damage.

 

[Jo-Smooth]

Ah, when Shinra goes back in time, it goes back to the moment right before he basically atomizes himself, so it doesn't heal any damage excpet the damage of him breaking down into subatomic particles. The more he uses the going back in time ability by breaking down into particles, the less likely the chances of him reforming are, though it depends on how damaged he and or how much stamina he has

One can argue that it's the reason why he didn't use the time manipulation against Burns. Because he was pretty heavily damaged before the Divine Protection was available to him. Though that's just headcanon.

 

[The_Calaca]

So... what's the useful application of his time hax?

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

It's pretty OOC for him to use, regardless.

 

[The_Calaca]

Well so this becomes a leg fight.

Shinra is faster with his SoL and FTL rating, making him around 2x faster than Sanji (who might receive a slight upgrade from 0.57c to 0.66c in the future) but he has Precognition to keep up with him regardless of the speed difference.

They both resist their main weapon, which is fire, although Sanji can amp himself with Haki to increase the AP difference between them. It's minimal as Sanji scales to 838 and Shinra around 700 (and Sanji is probably getting downgraded to 300MT) so it's not a big deal.

The thing is, Sanji seems to have better fighting skill for Shinra has nothing on his intelligence section to back him up, while Sanji has dealt with numerous martial artists and is one of the smartest Straw Hats, being considered almost a tactician.

Shinra has Instinctive Reaction and Analytical Prediction versus Sanji's Precognition, so they are quite even in that sense as they both can dodge attacks from each other.

But here comes the question: How good is Shinra's resistance, for Sanji can bypass Durability with his Diable Jambe by damaging bones and inner organs with it, seen when he broke Jabra's Tekkai and burned his ribcage with a single kick. Can Shinra's resistance apply to his inner organs?

 

[Jo-Smooth]

Useful application is countering other time hax users in his verse, allowing him to fight time stoppers and manipulators as if it was a normal fight and regenerating after breaking down into subatomic particles lmao. And their resistance in verse is that they still feel all the pain of heat and flame attacks but they don't take burn damage unless the attack his higher than their durability, and even then the damage they take is reduced.

A heat blade/whip that was able to do this to a non resistant person (graphic warning)

Was only able to do this to a heat resistant person

https://xy-06-w.*********.net/be/8a/5c4b77405d01c3460179a8eb/06_158780_1114_1600.webp

Even though the one that got killed was a stronger character overall (in verse/by lore at least, not really by feats), and instead resorted to impaling her with physical trauma rather than the heat.

The heat did barely any external damage and no internal damage after being held and pushed onto her stomach, though I really don't know if that counts for internal resistance or not.

There's similar feats like this for people resisting a pure plasma cutter (Arthur's excaliber) which was noted to be hot enough to melt steel at it's baseline level beginning of series and Arthur able to increase it's strength from that level. Only one character, specifcally Burns, has been noted to specifically build up their flames internally as part of his special ability though
