Do you think The threads/strings are being constantly vibrated finely by DD? Or is it just a very fine "sharp" string that has haki which reinforces it to prevent it fromt breaking? Or is it a combination of both? I am just wondering because is the birdcage functioning with DD being unable to fight back if you do reach him given that his haki is essentially spread through the "cage" and he is concentrating on it to keep it intact. Just curious what you guys think. | ||

People have different ability that can be very effective against others who doesn't know how to deal with it, like zoro got his sword rusted when he first encounter the rust fruit user, of course he won't be surprised by it the 2nd time, but the points is any unknown fruit/ability can be used to win a fight without giving a chance for the other guy to do anything about it. One classic example would be fighting crocodile in the desert. He can literally go Gara on people at will and suck ppl drive with ez. It doesn't matter how much Haki you would, if you get sandstormed and bury under 500meters of sand or get all water sucked out of you by suprise when crocodile touched you with the hand. The fight would be over instantly. Luffy won so many fights because he had a 2nd chance after his first defeat and found about of how to deal with those overpower abilities. If luffy was not the main character he would have died after the first defeat. | ||

Just curious what you guys think. If a string is thin enough it can cut anything so long as it has the strength to not break itself. I don't think it is being vibrated, so I would say the latter of your two scenarios, though I don't know if haki is necessary. His fruit is paramecia so it may not be necessary. | ||

My understanding is that Garp never accepted the promotion to Admiral is because he wanted the freedom of a Vice Admiral. Not because there was limited spots. I agree that A>B>C, doesn't mean that A>C as you said. Each DF has different strengths and weaknesses. I have a question though. Aside from Garp, can anyone name any notable feats that a current Vice Admiral has done? I am asking this because I was looking yesterday at the different current Vice Admirals and we haven't seen many of them actually fight. Smoker, yes. Lots were in Marineford and fighting. But from my brief research yesterday I couldn't really tell if they were someone to be feared. Without Garp I think the Strawhats could beat a buster call, as long as they weren't tied down with other fighting or exhausted (imo). Also I don't think Fujitora will ever make a buster call because it goes against his personality. A buster call is meant to annihilate everyone on the island, friend and foe. Fujitora shows a lot of concern for the civilians of Dressrosa. On April 30 2014 14:00 Sentenal wrote: A Buster Call is regarded as the strongest military assault the Marines can do. Putting aside the 10 Battleships that are full of people captain-rank or higher, it also comes with 5 Vice Admirals, and (in theory) the Admiral who ordered it. It wasn't weak at all in the Old World. And the 5 Vice Admirals who showed up with it at Enies Lobby were people able to fight equally with Whitebeard's Division Commander, with a few of them even disguishing themselves, like when Onigumo shackled Marco. It is a completely ridiculous notion to call a Buster Call weak. The only time the Marines assembled a larger force was to fight fucking Whitebeard lol. Onigumo shackling Marco wasn't that impressive (from reading the manga, unless i am missing something). Wasn't Marco fighting the Admiral Kizaru and Onigumo sneaked up behind him to but on the seastone handcuffs? Also were can I find that everyone on the buster call is a captain rank or higher? I was looking for that information yesterday and I couldn't find it. | ||

Two are held by Luffy and Zorro. What about the other three? No way are the strawhats strong enough to beat 5 VAs yet. | ||

Fujitora shows a lot of concern for the civilians of Dressrosa. it was used on Ohara and civilians were supposed to be evacuated before Magma guy went against orders and killed them all Smoker is a recently turned VA. No one apart of Zorro and Luffy could beat Smoker. Now image five of him. Two are held by Luffy and Zorro. What about the other three? Sanji could deal with one, he was fighting Vergo just fine aside from small fracture at the start of the fight which could easily be explained as just a mistake on Sanjis part (nor realising he was blocking something so hard/strong) so between Brook, Robin, Franky, Chopper, Nami and usopp i think they could deal with 2 vice admirals id say the Straw Hats would be able to beat a buster call | ||

I think the Straw hats could take on a buster call.. Sanji is there and not all VAs are as strong as Vergo (smoker proved that didn't he?). | ||

Its the fleet of Battleships going ham on the island and everything near. No matter how strong you are that shit ain't easy. People seem to be overrating the New World fodder imo. There seems to be a fair but of distance of power within the ranks of VA. We saw one of them get rekt by Barto. Smoker and especially Vergo are formidable enemies to most and there is no doubt the ones present at the War are some strong buggers. | ||

So it becomes situational as to whether they can or not.

When they were surrounded on the Bridge of Hesitation, the Marines came at them with only people ranked Captain or higher. http://www.mangapanda.com/103-2533-10/one-piece/chapter-426.html Some people seem to be putting "New World Fodder" on a pestle here too. We have seen "New World Fodder" before. A lot of them fought at Marineford on Whitebeard's side. Like 50 different allied Pirate Crews showed up there. And with only the exception of a handful of Captains from that bunch, all they did was get dumpstered by Vice Admirals and Pacifista. | ||

So it becomes situational as to whether they can or not. its not going to happen but the question "can the strawhats deal with a buster call" has the answer yes sure there could be an admiral there or other unfortunate circumstances but if ennies lobby happened again theyd be able to deal with it | ||

It isn't even a question of "there could be an admiral there". They are the ones with the Golden Denden Mushi. It is strongly implied that the Buster Calls we actually have seen have been the rare exceptions, when an Admiral gives someone else the authority to call one. And even then, Aokiji was dicking around at Enies Lobby, watching the whole thing from his bike out in the ocean. If he had been serious there and gotten involved too, which he very well could have if he wasn't as lazy as he is, then the Strawhats would be dead. Against a force of 1 Admiral+5 Vice Admirals+10 Battleships, the Strawhats would run away, like they always do. | ||

Sengoku was probably present at Ohara, although that one is just me talking out of my ass. He just decided to do nothing there because of plot. Buster Calls can only be authorized by Admirals. Spandam being able to call one was a special privileged given to him by Aokiji for the purpose of coercing Robin's cooperation. Buster Calls are an attack of a small army lead by an Admiral and 5 Vice Admirals. Please pay attention to the story. This isn't that hard. | ||
