One Piece Eps 265-266 (full)

Dude, mantra is not paper art but everything else is correct.

Paldrun

yeah the power-leveling shown here is mostly about the physical strength. It doesn't account for things like Devil Fruits, or whether someone can use Mantra (aka Paper Art), so it's not definitive. The rest of the world generally uses bounties to be an indicator of strength, but since these guys have no bounties they needed some way to tier them :p

Dont worry about the powerlevel stuff, it´s CP9 exclussive!

Fruchtpudding

I think this power level is based on hard their kicks/punches so basically this guy acts like a punching machine like the one in dbz xD

aaahh the enies lobby soundtrack...always makes me so nostalgic :D

Janne

also the world government is a bigass organisation, so it is exected for them to get their hands on quite some fruits !

DukeSmile

Since they are government agents, they don't have bounties on their heads, so it's just something to hype u. Even bounties don't necessarily relate to power, it also can be political.

sepi2p

there is no power levels in this. this is first and only time, god bless i hate power levels

Nanach

kumadori the big dramatic dude's design is based off of kabuki actors that's why he acts the way he does

ST

There is a very good reason why Devil fruits are so rare, but I'll save that explination for when we reach the dressrosa arc.

KaitouLuminous

I think you mean GOda forever?

KaitouLuminous

Devil Fruits are quite rare, but if you have one you will likely become powerfull enough to become a strong pirate or navy officer. For that reason Luffy and the gang run into them often. If they just sailed around and caused no trouble they would likely not meet people with them.

Tim White

One Piece doesnt have power levels. Cause that in itself is a flawed system. This is just Oda making fun of the stupid system

Morgan Hellström

The show might make it seem like there are devil fruits everywhere but they are rare as hell. For sake of audience enjoyment and such we keep seeing em very often. + Most devil fruit users are on grand line anyway :D

Pyromaani

One thing a out devil fruits. On the beginning of the show it was said its rare on East Blue but there is many on Grand Line. U can find them somewhere or buy them from people who found them. Its very expensive but it is possible 😉 and thats my favourite arc. It shows the genius of the writer. Oda forever 🙂

Grzegorz Pompa

yeah the characters drive that ark really really really good and it excells even for Odas measure

DukeSmile

You are definitely not weird, one of the reason why everybody is so hype for this ark is because of the protagonist, and their characteristics. Its still just building on, love watching your reactions, ENJOY!

Just finished watching. You're right about the power level thing, it's not complete. Villains are always measuring power before they get those numbers shoved back in their face lol. Especially since CP9 is more obsessed with their 6 Powers and underestimate anyone who can't use the same techniques. (Like saying Nero was useless for only knowing 4 powers) But almost none of the Straw Hats gain an edge off of pure strength. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are definitely strong, but Luffy's main advantage is speed and flexibility. Most of his techniques are based on using his Devil Fruit for their effectiveness. Zoro is a swordsman, so he's all about channeling his strength through his weapons. Sanji is the only one who's close to being a pure martial artist, but even he is equal amounts agile as he is strong. Nami and Ussop are both weapon users with not much physical strength. Chopper creates more Devil Fruit forms to fit specific scenarios, a smart fighter with his power coming from how he can focus his strength through Devil Fruit forms. So yeah, the power levels don't seem to apply to anyone other than CP9 themselves. And coming from the green gossiping zipper faced egg man, it's doubtful they're accurate for CP9 either. I'm with you on their dynamic though, adding the serious people with the silly people makes everyone a little silly, it's great to see this side of them lol. I think we're starting to learn how they really are when they're with their peers

loving the uptick in one piece! keep up the good work!

GainingGamer

CP9's dinamic is really good yeah, one of the better ones in the series. Lucci himself is just an asshole, but it was a nice surprise that after they were revealed they didn't lose their personality completely. Also, expect the power levels to just dissappear from the story as suddenly as they came. I personally feel Oda included them just to flex on series that depend on them for a second, then realised they took mistery out of the story. Sogeking is probably 50k doukiris

inpax

The power levels are just a play from Oda on DBZ as you correctly recognized. Its not a thing, and yeah ITS OVER 9000!!!! Oda is a great fan of Akira Toriyama. Power levels in One Piece are completely not a thing :D But yeah we all got SOOO frustrated when this happened and also curious... Also for CP9 if you watch closely you can see the Shadows of Lucci AND Jabra transforming. Lucci calling Jabra a dog and Jabra calling Lucci a Cat...

DukeSmile

One piece laughs are on a different level, and they get even crazier further on.

Yeetus

The 'power levels' have not been mentioned ever again after this arc as far as i remember... I could be wrong, but i'm about 99% sure of that. it was kinda weird all around.

DarkPirateKing

man I literally just sat down with my breakfast and this pops up, cheers lol
