      (spoilers)
      As you may have seen on one piece chapter 495 Luffy beat MotoBaro just by looking at him. I believe this is much like what red haired shanks has done with the sea king and with whitebeards crew. Maybe as time progresses they won't have to fight as many marines, if Luffy can just knock them unconsciousness

          Ditto

          Anyway, this power reminds me of Earthbound. It's Oda's cheap way to avoid wasting panels in pointless fights. I mean, even Luffy said there was no point in fighting the bison, wich I found quite funny considering how most of the time he just punches anything stupid enough to attempt to atack him.

            I'm thinking it has less to do with shanks and more to do with how luffy's father convinces other countries to revolt and follow him.

            yea, think about that one!

                        Luffy caused the bison to fall down on his side, foaming at the mouth. Shanks only made the giant shark-thingy swim away in fear. Luffy just bad-ass like that, I suppose.

                          People on WBs ship were faling down aside, foaming at the mouth as well. So its the same thing, the same WILL~
                          +1 point to Shanks being a D in my opinion.

                              Darknessslayer just because you talk something down doesn't mean it should faint. I mean you're right they said that but i doubt that's the actual reason,
                              i think it's to similar to shanks going on whitebeard's ship

                                  I dont think it has something with the "D" to do. Its just, when a person (any person) is strong and powerful enought, that person can kind of generate an aura like this. Animals recognize that Aura just earlier/stronger than humans.

                                  I guess Whitebeard (and similar) have that Aura too, but without getting serious, nobody recognize it.

                                  Sorry for grammar.

                                    palettendieb i think you're a genius i mean it might be a little late in the game but there do always seem to be ways to tell who's stronger through some spirit/energy in at least a few SJ mangas
                                    Naruto= charka
                                    Dragonball z= chi
                                    Bleach= spirit pressure
                                    shamen king= mana
                                    and maybe people with the Will of D. are better than others

                                      First of all, the only other person to show this ability is Shanks, who is not (as far as we know) a D.

                                      Second of all, during the meeting between Shanks and Whitebeard, it was described as Shanks' "Ambition."

                                      Considering that none of the most powerful characters we have met besides shanks have shown this ability, I can't see how it would be directly related to some metaphysical power rating.

                                      It's simply a result of looking like a badass.

                                        nah but he's had this for a long time it's just the first time that it's been noticed by him, I think. It's his spirit, like Zoro has. And more correctly Shanks.

                                          Luffy's power is indeed like Shank's power. The difference is its degree. Luffy still has to communicate to overwhelm something. However, the current Shanks doesn't have to look at scrubs to defeat them. For Shanks, it's kinda like overpowering Spiritual Energy in Bleach, like Kenpachi's aura crushed poor Hanatarou without even trying.

                                          Due to the sheer badassness of such power, Zoro must obtain such power soon. Hell, Mihawk has it, that's why he's Hawkeyes.

                                            Zoro already showed a similar technique in his fight with kaku - asura uses also "ambition" or "fighting spirit" to overwhelm to opponent.

                                              I thought Oda said it was merely an illusion that confused the opponent and had no other effect. Is that what you meant or do you mean that it has some other effect more like shanks or luffys "auras"?

                                                I can't recall any statements of Oda concerning asura but i assumed that the resulting illusion (the demon) is just an expression of zoros "fighting spirit". so, whenever asura comes to play, zoro is entering a new level of ambition to win a fight.

                                                    what a pity, asura as a doping technique would be quite amazing but if its just for the effect asura loses its edge.

                                                      IIRC it's supposedly practically unblockable since the enemy doesn't know which swords are real.

                                                        Well its not just luffy

                                                        zoro to can use his spirit in the way to inmidate oponents

                                                        i would say Zoro uses it far more effectively than luffy

                                                          My guess is that Luffy can only used that ability on animals at the moment.

                                                          His nen ability as a specialist, Emperor Time, allows him to utilize all the types of nen to 100% efficiency.

                                                            Wasn't it said that he talked to it? In which case the foam could've been caused by, I think, Luffy just saying something really threatening to it; "If you don't back off, I'll eat strip your skin off and lay you out in the sun until your jerky, then eat you! Mmm, bison jerky…"

                                                            Or something similar.

                                                              What Luffy said was:

                                                                After re reading that part, I'm thinking Motobaro was just afraid by the fact that Luffy so calmly and effortlessly stopped its charge (which Duval previously showboated about).

He obviously is emulating Shanks, since that was a callback to the first chapter when Shanks refused to fight Higuma.

                                                                              It's not too surprising that he would begin to pick up Shanks' aura as well. Shanks is his inspiration, after all…

It's just when someone has a strong enough will, his "aura" is strong enough to knock out those with weak resolve. It's like how Zoro's strong spirit manifested itself as the Asura spirit…it's not like a skill he can use whenever he wants to or anything like that

                                                                                            Alina james: Are you sure it's "will"? Where was that said? Luffy didn't want to fight, so I'm assuming he didnt want to hurt the bison either.

                                                                                            Couldn't it be fuled by confidence (that needs to match the persons true strenght, so that overconfident people dont go arround and knock people out all the time) or something? And if you do not have enough confidence (and strenght) in comparisment you succumb and fall unconcious.

                                                                                              It is not a new power, its just the result of Luffy getting stronger and stronger as their journey goes on. Shanks "battle aura" or whatever the name is not a weapon either just the result of his extreme Willpower / Intent / Strength / Lethality. This is a manga there is only so much you can do with pictures and short dialog to represent something intangible.

                                                                                              Looking at the battle its obvious that Strawhats are stronger than the FFR gang. It looks like Luffy is not seriously fighting, he runs away from Duval, only kicks his helmet off to show his face. When Luffy faces the bull its the first time he gets serious, gives him an intent solid stare, delivers his line slowly with calm deep seriousness, (or so I imagine when I look at those panels).

                                                                                              Animals have keener senses than normal humans, and Motobareo I would guess can tell at that point, that Luffy has monstrous power. So he backs off when he is given a chance to not fight him but passes out when his imagination runs wild on what would happened if he did fight Luffy. At least that is how I interpreted that scene.
