One Piece Chapter 508

[docdan63]

Yeah but even so, all of the rookies at this point are supposed to be comparatively respected for their accomplishments, but imagine putting some of them in Luffy's previous positions. The defeat of Arlong, the defeat of Baroque works, the defeat of Enis Lobby. They must have experienced similar challenges to earn the bounties they have. Could something like a cavalry in your body solve those problems?

I'd have to say though....most of the higher-level Baroque works members had far more practical abilities...

True they're supposed to and for the most part I think that they are. I mean first all, every rookie is a captain of their own ship and crew. Second, they've all made it to the next half of the GL and to the most dangerous part of the first half of the GL and series. I think comparing them to Luffy is kind of pointless because of his drive and love for his crew and unstoppable drive to become PK. These coupled with the fact that he has a fruit that's allowed him fighting abilities well above any of the other ten supernovas (even though I hate to admit it) is something can has to be given up into the halls of rookie greatness. By the way, comparing Arlong, to BW isn't right at all. Arlong wasn't much of a fight besides Luffy falling in the water. Crocodile handpicked his crewman for his agents and was prepared to take on anyone that rivaled him. Plus, the obvious thing is that he was one of the few, rare, great and powerful logia users that grace this series with their presence when Oda feels someone is worthy of having one.

I actually don't think Capones fruit is that pointless. He's a walking general with no real need for an army of men. Granted I'll give you they are small, but still he has armies any time he wants. Bonney's is also useful. First of all she doesn't age one bit. Second, the marines she was affecting couldn't even hold guns anymore because they were too old or too young to operate one. The person I'm already sick of is Hawkins. He has no emotion or personality. His fruit is pointless. And his prediction thing could just be someone hearing him aloud and then thinking maybe I'll just give him a chance. I mean Kizaru could be fucking with him when he heard him say "it's not my time to die" just for shits and giggles and let him live for a bit.

I think it's safe to say that Borsalino has the light light logia fruit. I know I've ranted about it many times and it's been beaten to death. But this and the previous chapter almost definitely confirms that he has the power to control light and light like properties.

1. His boot was seen trailing light when he kicked Hawkins
2. a bullet went through him. Logia 101 (sans Blackbeards dark fruit)
3. he created a spark when he first kicked the mangrove down
4. he made a bullet of pure energy at the tip of his finger

As for the bullet bouncing off it could just be another example of One Piece-logic. Like how the Darkness fruit absorbs everything, the light fruit could reflect everything. I know I'm going against my number 2 here, but I have to give in and think otherwise. There could be the opposite affect. And maybe the bullet didn't go through him so much as being the opposite as Blackbeards and bouncing off of him. Who knows. I actually think Oda should tell us soon though. Why? Because when Aokiji showed up, Robin figured it out and told the readers what it was almost as soon as he froze the ocean for the old man.

An army of regular men has an obvious limit in strength.
Take for example, the entire island of marines on Enis Lobby.
