@Al!naJames:
Just like Marco's clear as spring water line isn't any more vague if you see it that way. :)
What? So you concede that there is something to argue? Ok.
@Al!naJames:
He says the whole Whitebeard crew knows about his body. Why would they all know about an ability of Yami-Yami? From where and how? Blackbeard didn't have it when they knew him.
From what I recall, he says "you all". Obviously that includes the Whitebeard crew, but all the onlookers as well? The answer to your question is him fighting Whitebeard. They just saw him use his ability, seal Whitebeard's for a moment, then get beat by Whitebeard. Abnormal for a logia, no? Yes.
@Al!naJames:
He said he memorized how it looked like. Or is it not what you are talking about? I don't quite get your point.
I'm saying that all we know is that there was a picture and a name for the fruit listed in a book, along with a comment on it potentially being the strongest fruit power there is. It's likely there was some description of the ability, but to what extent? We simply do not know.
@Al!naJames:
Please, go ahead and confirm it with a Japanese-speaking person. Aohige was at it, same to Stephen who gave an interview to the podcast long ago, which I can not link right now due to lack of time, but you can ask him yourself if you want to make sure.
I'm not going to bother chasing down and validating your argument for you. Also, you're dodging my arguments.
@Al!naJames:
And what sense is that?
Ace was searching for Blackbeard, right? So then Blackbeard acts all chummy with Ace and Ace says to cut the chit-chat, that Blackbeard should know why he (Ace) is there. It makes no sense at all for Ace to randomly be like, "let's not beat around the bush, dude, you've go two spleens!" So let's compare versions:
Mine: Blackbeard says hi. Ace says don't act stupid, you've been around twice as long as me, you should know why I'm here. You're under arrest.
Yours: Blackbeard says hi. Ace says don't act stupid, you've got twice the organs in your body so… you're under arrest.
@Al!naJames:
There's endless amount answers of to why they can be on a fruit-hunt - they may want to supply whole crew with strongest devil fruits, they may be after Vegapunk's technology to feed fruits to objects, they may want to reduce the amount of stronger fighters and destroy the fruits/keep them from re-appearing in the world again, etc, etc, etc.
Ok, fine, I'll acknowledge three reasons. Of the three, only two of them is worth mentioning in chapter 650, and both of the two would be… well, the quality of writing for each would be suspect. We can tackle that later, if you want.
@Al!naJames:
And please don't call Laffitte a mime since he has nothing to do with mimes. Mimes are street actors who wear white face paint with emotions-mimicking make-up and do silent plays. While he's very talkative pale (overall) person who's appearance is based off Japanese singer Yoko Kon from the band Pinkie and the Killers.
Urrr, be that… uhhh... as it may... I prefer Mime-chan.
