What stops him from removing parts of the body like the brain and destroying it instantly? Also Zoro missing with his sword. Somehow. Even Gamma Knifing someone in the brain should be enough to basically put anyone down, hes definitely one of those, "well technically shouldnt he able to..." type of characters that should be capable of a fair number of pretty busted things. | ||

So I assume most people defensively strengthen the surface, but theoretically you could strengthen the part behind the surface to block Luffy's and possibly Law's attacks. But yes Law's ability is totally busted on paper and so far lacks any checking rules (cost/limitations). As such Oda can't let it fully work on strong people, because else he'd have to be taken out of the fight every time at the start for the fight to be interesting. | ||

We see him use it, but we don't really know much about what all is involved in doing so (other than it uses his stamina). Maybe all the OP possibilities are just either too hard to do consistently, or too strenuous? I kinda assume Law has to have intensive knowledge of what he's swapping or has to physically see it. Human hearts he knows about because it's in journals and shit and it's easily accessible info to obtain. Dragon hearts, he probably no jack shit about. Hence why he couldn't nab Kaido's heart even when he tried. He has to have this distinct visualizing of knowing what he swapping and where it's currently located. Outside of that, ya... his ability is just straight up god mode and he should be instantly able to kill anyone in like 2sec. Stab in brain, done. Only reason he doesn't is because Oda is writing a story and Law isn't the MC. | ||

The way you'd normally handle stuff on the powerlevel of Law's ability as a writer was to add costs or limitations. If Law lost an organ every time he takes an organ out of someone he might try other things first. Or say his ability is very slow and locally limited and as such needs prolonged physical contact to pull the heart or the brain out and he can't stab things he hasn't pulled out. But DFs don't really come with any limitations barring strain and weakness to the sea (which is mostly ignored nowadays). | ||

Maybe all the OP possibilities are just either too hard to do consistently, or too strenuous? Yeah this makes sense to me. My theory is that Law's ability is most useful when an object is at rest. That's why he can extract stuff from humans while they are sedated. I also think the reason his power is essential for Marie Jois is that it allows people to travel past a barrier impossible to otherwise break. I think that before the great war, the people/race that lived in Marie Jois were super advanced or magical or something and they isolated themselves from all the other nations/races. I think the other nations were jealous and desperate and all banded together to conquer marie jois to steal their technology/wealth/powers. But I think certain things require certain fruits, which I think also came from this group of people. And perhaps there is some sort of portal/gateway to another realm/planet that you can't pass through without Law's power. Edit: And I also think this is why they are called "devil fruits" and why the old language is the devil's language and why Robin was labeled a devil. Everything associated with this group of people is considered the devil, likely as a form of propaganda from the nations at the time to justify their greed-fueled war. So they labeled these advanced people as evil, banded together to conquer marie jois, but they aren't able to reap all the benefits of marie jois because they don't have all the right powers available to them. | ||

I think that section at the end about defeating Kaido's executives is probably gonna be OP's way to segway back down under so they can show the various Sanji/Jinbe/Franky/etc fights. Might be a bit until we can see top side with Luffy and Zoro going ham again. | ||

And yeah, now that Zoro is committed to fighting on the roof I'm wondering who will battle King. He's way more badass than Queen, the latter is almost like a comic relief at this stage in the arc. | ||

We all know that (spoiler) Luffy is going to win this fight. I guess we just have to wait another 20 chapters to see it. Wake me up when this fight is over and we get some actual plot progression. exactly how i feel. One piece has become SO PREDICTABLE that nothing is really interesting now. We all know luffy gonna win vs Kaido/Big mom somehow. We all know 99% of our characters will live and have huge party. Can we get some actual plot progression into void history/one piece/joy boy? I honestly stopped giving a shit about fights ever since Oda decided to declare everyone can't die and luffy will always prevail. It's always about power levels and YONKO SO OP OMG. like really? | ||
