resists, endures, is unharmed by. Its a strange sentence. Normally you would say something like. "His skin is so strong, it is impervious/resistant/immune to the effects of this drill."
EDIT:
"Vergo chose to let Smokers attacks land, becuase Vergo's Haki was so strong, Smokers punches could not harm him." "Although Smokers punches could not harm Vergo because his Haki was so strong, Vergo dodged his attacks anyway." "Although Smokers punches could not harm Vergo becuase his Haki was so strong, Vergo Blocked each of his attacks anyway."
I word it in such a way because I am baiting you into answering it in such a way that i can use your own words to have some fun.
Here we go,
From now on, Mingo resisted luffy's fist with his face, and he endures luffy's drop kick with his face, and Mingo's face is unharmed by luffy's gear 4. The evidence is that Mingo's sunglasses is still not broken.
They sound a lot better than blocking, you are right.
( do you see how I constructed this whole thing? the emphasis had always been about intention of using the face, it doesn't matter which verb you use, i am just leading you around till i get what i wanted)

He's a man of his words because he has never lost before, he gets whatever he wanted by any means. Based on that it is save to assume that the birdcage would end if he were to get knocked out or killed.
about blocking with face, even in our reality, real people train their body to a point where they can literally block sharp objects with their skins.
and you should not be phasing it as i'm right and oda is wrong, it should had been i'm interrupted oda right, and you guys just couldn't perceive the depth of oda's wisdom.
Oh by the way what if Oda wants everybody to be trapped inside the factory and then use all of them as ingredient to make his artificial devil fruit?

how did you get your forum icon? When they told me I can choose my icon i told them i wanted a troll face, but they told me I can only have one that already exist so i got the bc.
Okay so reading through this chapter with the Mangastream scanlation was a much better experience. I was too quick to judge. Gatz carried this entire chapter like nobody's business. I've always been a fan of his since the whole colosseum arc and it's nice to see him in the spotlight again. Sad that we get a break next week but hopefully Oda will make the wait worthwhile.

The icon by my name is because I spend most of my time on my Liquid legends account these days, and those accounts let you pick a champion as your icon

You should always read on mangastream way better quality than most manga sites 99% of the time.
i dont see how this is hype. one chapter went from 10 minutes to like 4 minutes left, then the next chapter went from 4 minutes to 1 minute, and then the latest one goes from 1 minute to luffy's entrance. most dragged out hype ive seen in a while lol
if Luffy was literally the only person who could beat Doflamingo (like if it was actually Enel there and not Dofla since Luffy has special advantage against Enel) then this chapter would ahve been great
but theres at least 2 people who could definently kick his ass (Zoro and Fujitora) plus another half dozen or so that might have pulled it off alone so all the suspense at his return doesnt really hit its mark since whole time you got that in the back of your head, you know the only reason there waiting for Luffy is for plot reason not practical ones

The only reason for Zoro and Fujitora to be able to deal with Doffy is your own appreciation of their capabilities. Please don't judge the plot based purely on your emotions. In 15 days Zoro and Fujitora could say to Luffy, thanks for defeating Doffy, we could not do that in a million years; and you would turn into a clown.
Oh come on. Even if you want to argue that Zoro and Fujitora are too weak to fight DD in a normal fight, there is no way they aren't strong enough to fight DD who is on his last leg. Is weakened Luffy or DD stronger than uninjured, but slightly tired Zoro or Fujitora? Fujitora's fight with Sabo was very impressive, they fought evenly and Fujitora ended the fight for his own moral reasons. Zoro was never injured fighting Pica, the fight was only difficult because Pica was tricky and attacked others.
Zoro and Fujitora will thank or appreciate Luffy for beating DD, but they won't say anything silly like "we couldn't beat him in a million years" because that makes them seem pathetic. Zoro and Fujitora plus other characters are strong enough to beat DD, but birdcage is a plot device for them not to help even though fighting DD would be a better solution.

lol, one of the worst comments i ever saw around here.
are u really that delusional? stop riding on oda's dick so much and open ur eyes.
Plz, we all know Zoro is not attacking Doffy because he doesn't take part in his captain's fights unless explicitly told to (and vice versa).
As for Fuji, I have no idea what his reasoning is. It probably has to do something with the whole "Well he's a Shichibukai and because of his heritage and knowledge I can't actually take the position from him."-deal. Although I guess if he defeated Doffy and nobody would say anything about him doing it he'd be fine. Then again, Fuji is a gambler and has decided to bet everything on Luffy, so maybe he wants to wait it out? *shrug*

intercepted
And in this case, Luffy's head did block the sword, from hitting rebecca. You still can't say Doffy's face blocked the attack, from hitting Doffy's face.
you hasn't been paying attention have you? if you had been reading you would not have replied to that post. Because here is what's i'm ganna reply with and will make you sound silly for even coming up with a word.
From this day forward Mingo intercepted luffy's fist with his face, and he intercepted luffy's drop kick with his face, and Mingo's face is unharmed by luffy's gear 4. The evidence is that Mingo's sunglasses is still not broken.
do you guys realize arguing with semantics is not going to defeat this argument? because it is logically sound and back up by evidence of the still unbroken sunglasses? not to mention the post you are responding to is about the drill the monk "intercepted" with his skin.
