Well, he specifies the brothers. I wonder if he can't use the poison ability? | ||

When seastone is introduced, we can see it is widespread and has lots of uses, from simply sticking it to the end of weapons, forming handcuffs and cages and coating ships with it. The power of science as we know in the real world is that it is transferable to all people. It isn't magic available to a few select people who happened to eat a magic fruit. It's the problem of disruption the suspension of disbelief. Oda tried by slowly introducing ridiculous powers of science, like cyborg Franky but Queen is just too much, too bizarre all at once. It's like Tite Kubo and One Piece had a love child and named it Queen. | ||

This is somewhat similar in other anime's and usually when the characters develop their powers the theme starts branching out. Like at first, its 3 characters under fire / water / wind theme.... and then fire guy gets earth as well etc... but when the theme is he has all elements, then there is no theme.... I certainly don't think its going to happen to that extent in One piece, but since Black beard as one of the "final boss" is touted as having the ability to break out this 1 fruit power mold, i think the more characters that has multiple themes, the less great his ability will be relatively. | ||

It's like Tite Kubo and One Piece had a love child and named it Queen. I'd argue the same could be said about Kuma and Frankie already though. Like if lasers are common enough that by now 3 tinkerers apparently with different energy sources developed them independently then why are the marines using cannons and guns? Why doesn't the Sunny have a gargantuan laser that can one-shot Kaido? That would certainly fit Frankie's theme. Weapon tech seems to be mostly limited to cyborgs (and ships in the Sunny's case) and even in our world the number of people who'd be willing to replace biological parts of them with mechanical ones realistically isn't that high. To boot we have no way to know how much maintenance is required for these things and Haki is a much stronger power than technology in OP anyways. For me Frankie's level of doing stuff when he got introduced was way more out there than what Queen is doing, after all he's mainly combining stuff from other people (Frankie type body enhancements, Judge abilities, Caesar's biological warfare). Obviously you could argue that if he has Judge's tech than why does Kaido have so much fodder instead of engineered super soldiers, but the answer is simply that Queen doesn't care about fodder as shown when he spreads the virus.

One such example is flamingo being able to attached strings to clouds to essentially fly. And with so many characters with devil fruit powers the theme isn't recycled as much from fight to fight, though with fights between the same 2 character, and characters with similar powers ie. fire vs lava, evidently there will be some recycling in terms of theme.

Perfectly fair, I don't enjoy Queen using Judge's techniques much either, but Queen currently is mainly doing clowny stuff anyways. Like he literally forgot that he's fighting Sanji because he saw a prostitute he's mad at, the fight is a joke fight more than anything from Queen's side. For me Haki is the way larger problem for that than Queen though, although I agree on Black Beard's fruit being a really boring way to break the setting. | ||

Wait, I thought the Sunny did have some giant ass cannon on it? | ||

I find pretty weird that you think science is equally spread as soon as something new apears around the world IRL to be honest. I mean, if so, then where are my super laser ? Where is my fusion reactor that powers up everything around me ? Where is my flying rocket that can take me to the moon ? Where is my quantum supercomputer ? It feels you think technology/innovation born in R&D labs instantly transfers into IRL usual world ?! Some protoypes are conceived, some studies are thought, some machines are engineered right now and basically none in the world have any clue about it save the bunch of people doing it, and it's going to be like that for 20 years ahead 'till enough progress is made so that a company actually finds a way to make profit manufacturing and selling it. There is a world between a study indicating that something is possible and a functionning prototype, and there is then an other different world between this functionning prototype and the thing that is manufactured a billion time and sold to us consumers. I don't see why it should be different in OP ?! | ||

Where's my super laser asked someone, in a world where reading data from lasers as a consumer item is considered outdated, where machine guns is basic military technology for the last 100 years, or from from a phone that transmits data through the air as if by magic. Where is my supercomputer asks someone whose phone is more powerful than that put man on the moon. Where is my flying rocket asks someone who has no reason to goto the moon, but can fly anywhere in the world for cheap in less than 24 hours, in a world filled with so many satellites it's causing trouble to launch new satellites. | ||

OK so you don't even understand what I wrote, but even more you do not even understand the meaning of what you wrote lmao. When phone was invented, it was already IPhone 12 (or whatever number it is RN) and already available everywhere in the world by anyone, right? Of course it was... Plus your absence of reflection upon the "I got a smartphone or the possibility to fly around so absolutely everyone in the world got the same access to those things as I do" is... Laughable. | ||

You don't have a superlaser weapon because you don't have need of one. Unless I am mistaken, you are not a gigantic military organisation. Nuclear weapons were used successfully over 70 years ago. You might as well ask where is your nuclear weapon? You don't have nuclear weapons but chances are, you use nuclear power to partially generate your electricity and nuclear power generate a significant amount of worldwide electrical energy.. Technology is small incremental changes across a broad swath of researchers, not a single great man making big leaps. It's pretty wierd to have specific advanced technologies well beyond present technology, but without evincing any underlying technology that would make them possible. But that wasn't even the point I was making. As I said the problem is the problem of disruption the suspension of disbelief. Queen is just too much, too bizarre all at once. Queen is pulling out several multiple powers at once which is unusual in One Piece. | ||
