@beck26:
like, for instance, coby (with mera mera) helping luffy to beat akainu is symbollicaly ace giving a payback to akainu. how's that.
not original, and lame. thats how it is.
@asm00200:
I still don't get what you're saying. Do you think they're gonna hug each other and see what comes out of it? Do you think that Haki doesn't matter here or what? Seriously, you think Coby can surpass Akainu with a normal body yet will always lose with a fire body, are you ignoring the fact that the normal body can't handle magma either? don't you think fire would have a better chance to handle magma than normal human skin?
lol you are right i should elaborate. If Coby eats the Mera Mera his biggest resource will become his DF, so far it hasnt been proven that logia abilities mix with haki, like a haki enforced fireball for example. and even if it were, haki enforced fire would still loose to haki enforced magma. There is just no way for Coby to surpass Akainu if he has the burden of a weaker DF, and as we have seen, regarding your last sentence, fire has shown not being really different from flesh when resisting magma, as Akainu's punch went completely through Ace.
Even concidering Haki, its as Ace said to Smoker. DF advantage is enough.
How does the Flame fruit affect Coby here!? why does it matter if he eat the fruit or not if he mastered Haki? Please explain!
like i said, the Mera Mera would only weaken him against Akainu, Haki hasnt shown any defensive effect when being attacked by a superior logia DF, only when used as a sole resource, example: Rayleigh blocking Kizaru's sword.
To put it in another words: armored Haki Goro Goro (Enel) would still be useless agains Haki enforced Gomu Gomu (Luffy).
