Luffy vs Yami Teach

[Special Agent Gibbs]

Luffy is Current, Teach is as he was at the fight vs Ace.

Luffy knows that Teach's Devil fruit nullify other Devil Fruits.
Prep; ZerO
Start distance 25 feet.
Location: Sabaody Archipelago.
State of Mind: Luffy: Bloodlusted, Teach: In Character.

Does Luffy fare better than his brother?

[V]

Teach should be able to take it

[Special Agent Gibbs]

even with this being Current Luffy?

[Tom Hanks]

The real question is "did Luffy bridge the 3-year gap in 2 years?"

[Special Agent Gibbs]

we saw what Luffy did from beginning of series to Pre-skip. I think he has surpassed Ace.

[DoflaMihawk]

Teach breaks his neck. And he has an easier time with it than he did with Ace.

[Special Agent Gibbs]

State of Mind is edited.

[DoflaMihawk]

Teach still breaks his neck. Ace was bloodlusted too.

[Special Agent Gibbs]

But Ace did not know that Teach's DF would nullify the logia intangibility.

[V]

I don't think Luffy has surpassed Ace and even if he has they would be really close in strength. Even if Luffy is slightly stronger Teach defeated Ace without that much trouble.

[Z]

Imo could go either way. I'd go with Luffy extreme difficulty.

both will be too lazy to throw a single punch

[V]

well played

[Firefist]

ye figured that out

[Bold]

I'd say Teach is winning this one. Luffy would have to really dig in to Teach before Teach got serious if he wanted to win.

Do you have any valid reasons to doubt that Ace had a similar growth rate?Because it doesnt make any sense if you assume that.That fast growth isnt something only reserved for Luffy.Most of the SN showed that they have a similar growth rate during TS.Sanji and Zoro too.Was Ace any less important than those guys?Luffy's brother and the son of the PK?The guy whose potential the marines feared the most?

And we have pretty good showings from Ace to know that he wasnt lacking in anything.He was invited to the Shichi after being only one year around the seas.He was strong enough to battle Jimbe and become a Wb commander,all that after having been on the seas for two years if I remember correctly.

The only logical conclusion is that Ace and Luffy had a similar growth rate and Ace had been on the seas longer.Its quite reasonable to rank him above Luffy and BB was solidly above him.

True,that doesnt take away from the fact that he was able to almost break Ace's neck with one punch and if he can do that to Ace he could do similar damage to Luffy,if he hit him.

I don't see how Luffy would win this. Luffy did not bridge a three year gap in two years.

He figured it out quickly enough.

[Kaang]

Luffy for the simple fact that he probably is the strongest guy of his general level other than I urouge is faster than anybody and has monster durability. Teach still has a 60 pct chance of winning but it will be a gruesome fight. Tamil is the strongest logia afterall and his attack that took up almost half the islan is probably strong as hell.

[Halaros 536]

So,you're giving this to Lufy,but Teach has 60 percent chance of winning?



What?

I only meant that Blackbeard is stronger by a little bit. Hell most of luff us opponents would win Sixty pct of the time. Though if Oda is writing the story I see Luffy winning againts a stronger opponent he'd probably lose against another time. Like Lucchi. Lucchi was overall superior to Luffy but he still lost.

Basically it can go either way. I was saying Luffy wins but it would be one of those battles where his opponent is wondering how luffys still standing and luffyvwins with nakama power.
