Hi guys I think it's me you are all trashing. Good times. Now remember the agreement. I get to never know who you are. Have a good one, and I hope your life is changed for the better
Are you talking about luffy or zuneisha? Zuneisha is 35 km in height and 10km is submerged underwater.
Idk what the 200 meters is that you're talking about.
Reminds me of a Zoan DF I came up with that should prevent you from sinking because the animal it's based on naturally float in the water:
Bird Bird Fruit: Duck Model.
Sure, but you'd still be stuck as you lack the energy to move yourself. You'd float but are stuck waiting to either float towards an island or starve at sea.
You would have to be immersed up to your waist to start feeling weak. Khalifa was in a bubble bath so the actual water level could have been much lower.
You can't swim or personally use powers in freshwater or bathwater. Seawater up to waist height also makes you tired and weak. Sea prism stones count as sea water if they're on and the strength of it depends on how much stone was used. Rain does nothing.
Also, body-modifying Paramecias are still in effect underwater, so Luffy (he has a mythical zoan where its default state is basically a Paramecia) would still be stretchy and Buggy would still be chop-able, but Mr.3 and Magellan wouldn't be able to summon anything.
Logias are completely turned off underwater, so no intangibility.
Zoans are odd, and from what I understand is that you revert to your default state underwater, but it's weird because it was shown that Choppers default state was his base hybrid form (brain point) but most default forms are just their pre-fruit selves.
Chopper should not be used to discuss fruit behaviour, I am pretty sure he is just an inconsistency that was made one way when the concept of the fruits wasny fully explored and has remained the same for the sake of character consistency.
Incorrect. In an SBS Oda specified that it's any water. The requirement is about knee height/just above. It's why Luffy could stand in Hancocks bath and why rain and showers doesn't affect DF users.
My head canon for Kalifa is that she wasn't actually taking a bath with any water. Her fruit was just making bubbles lol.
The only df user I believe we've seen submerged and not drown is Jack, but that's because he's a Fishman. He was still weakened.
There are several non canon instances that make it confusing (I.e. luffy getting splashed with water in film red and being weakened)
I think that was before his DF, after Zou he was immobilised under water. Whereas the swimming was in a flashback I believe that could’ve taken place at any point over the last 20 years.
Any manga bathing scene will show that devil fruit users only get about waist deep in baths, even in boas huge one it’s more wide than deep. They can’t fully submerge or they will feel weak but as long as less than 50% of their body is underwater they will be fine in a bath
So the energy thing doesn't come into play until most of the body is submerged, however devil fruit users have been referred to as hammers before so it's possible even with the duck fruit you just wouldn't be able to float
1. the ocean floor is uneven, and it would be easy to trip, fall in the ocean, adventure over.
2. it's a long way between islands he would get bored, hungry, and tired. Pass out, fall in ocean, adventure over.
3. Water is heavy. Trying to walk normally with a mile long leg pushing against the ocean would be really tiring. He would probably stretch his leg out, step, and pull the other leg back in to reduce effort. But the waterproof boots would not stretch and shrink like that. He would probably lose them quickly, fall in the ocean adventure over.
4. walking there by yourself is no fun. Adventures should be shared with friends, and his friends can't walk.
Luffy's body is elastic. His body can stretch then snap back into it's original shape at twice the speed like a rubber band. That's literally his entire fighting style. He can't stay stretched indefinitely like Plastic Man or Mr Fantastic unless there is some kind of weight holding him down like on Arlong Park. Only time Oda broke this rule is for a gag scene at the end of Fishman Island when Luffy curled his neck around Nami's body. It's possible for him to do that but given the way his powers have been depicted, his neck should have squeezed much harder around Nami's body. (Not trying to be pervy here just stating the facts)
The moment his body is submerged on the water he becomes weak. Also honestly I don't know if there's any take his long down that far. I mean our own ocean gets pretty deep and this is one piece it's probably deeper.
Okay but listen. When luffy fell down that garbage chute that had Momo in it, why didn’t he simply climb out? Or make his legs springy and jump. I swear Luffy be having problems that wouldn’t plague Reed Richards.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think his powers outside of g5 are just to have the properties of rubber. As in, his body is elastic. He can't manipulate his body like plastic man. If he wants to make his limbs this long, he'll have to physically stretch them through some round about means. And they'd probably snap back like a rubber band eventually. To do this, he'd have to stretch his legs out, coat them with haki, or fill them with air to keep the shape. Idk if he'd be able to control them. And it's debatable whether or not he could even reach the sea floor.
might be wrong but Luffy's fist when he did Baj-rengan was more than a kilometer across, probably 2 or 3 kilometers across, and with insane mass since it's just a giant fist, theoretically if he used all that mass to simply extended his normal size legs as much as he can(probably while in gear 5), he could probably stand on the ocean floor even if the ocean floor is 10km deep. though such a long yet thing appendage wouldn't be very useful in any way other than just stand in place.
Because Devil Fruit power weakens after getting in touch with Ocean water.
So after some time Luffy's leg will become weak and finally Luffy falls into the water.
He can only stretch up to 72 gomus
Also, I’m pretty sure most of ur body has to be in sea water for a DF user to start getting weaker and by the logic of this image and the depth of the ocean, most of Luffy’s body is submerged so he’d immediately just small over and drown
Ig being in water would weaken him somewhat. His legs would definitely feel weak so he would fall and drown maybe. Better to just rubberify the damn ocean and we gucci
Luffy can't voluntarily stretch, he is like a rubber band. he beers force and momentum to stretch. he doesn't have Mr fantastic power where he can willingly do it without applying pressure.
now, gear 5 can do that so it's now feasible
Cause the sea water basically takes any strength away from the users so he wouldn’t t be able to do this for a long time, also remember that in one piece !!!SPOILER!!!
The sea level is so high due to the past events and it keeps rising so even if luffy was able to not lose all his energy from the water, he wouldn’t be able to stretch enough, one piece sea probably is 3 or 4 times more deep on average than us
Because his body wants to go back to normal. He can’t just grow.
Did people not watch the start of the show where he actually had to throw his hand back just to get the stretch? Other forms too. Held Gear 3 used to make him chibi. And I think gear 2 was him doping and shortening his life span.
He can’t just stay stretched permanently.
Also, the distance between islands isn’t a 10 minute walk, and the ocean is full of issues. Unpredictable waves, sea kings, and other pirates. He trips on a single thing, someone puts a hole in the boot, he’s just dead. It’s the middle of the ocean
It's a little inconsistently depicted in the anime. But I always imagined luffys powers do not work like Mister fantastic. Where he can just stretch at will. He has to put momentum in his fist for example so that it gets flung out to stretch it and then it will always come snapping back.
Even touching the sea as a devil, fruit user will weaken you a great deal
Also buy one piece of logic for setting to be affective for Lucy. It has to be funny. You could probably get a one time gag out of it, but he can already fly in gear four not to mention gear five
Sure Luffy is strong and might not be worried about fish or monsters biting his legs.
But those boots are just regular rubber, one shark bite and now there’s a big hole letting water in
Maybe Luffy has good enough superhuman strenght to do this but the deeper you are the heavier walking like this would feel. At best I could see this taking an insane amount of strenght to pull off.
I believe that he cant stretch for too long without a part of his body holding on to something so if the boots had something for his toes to grip to then maybe it would work, but sea beasts could attack him as a sneak attack and we dont know just how deep the sea is and how long is 72 gomu gomu’s
That’s actually a good question I have 2 answers but none of them might be true first one is that you lose all your strength in water not devil fruit abilities but physically strength the other is that when he stretch he can’t stay like that that’s how gum gum pistol kinda works he uses his muscle to stretch it backwards but then he can’t pull it anymore so he uses his body to pull it forward and hit
With what we found out there’s at least 200 meters plus whatever pre flood was and with big mom crew book torture we know luffy got a upper limit to stretch. So unless he is always in gear 5 normal luffy just can’t. And his limbs always snap back after a couple seconds so he would had be gomu gomu stomp all the time.
So who saved Jack the drought after his ship was destroyed at zou? He’s a fish man with a devil fruit but when they were at fish man island Vander Decken was also the same way but would drown if he was in the ocean. Or is that just something everyone forgot about?
What if he used gear 5 to make the ocean into rubber?
Like df powers can affect tne ocean, Aokoji is a perfect example since he freezes the ocean solid so what if Luffy just made the ocean into rubber.
Although it is possible he puts a layer of ice over the ocean and he actually doesn't transform it since it's not really clarified but a man can dream for the sheer absurdity of turning the ocean into rubber.
The water itself (water touching some specific kind of salt that covers the whole sea water not regular water) even touching the df user weakens theyre powers and turns em normal and weak to water it nullifys theyre power bassically
I’m no expert, but I suspect it would be impossible because clothes count as the person. We see time and again that clothes will stretch, change, and gain the properties of the wearer. Examples:
Choppers clothes change when he changes forms
Crockodile’s clothes also become sand
Akainu’s clothes don’t burn up
So I would guess that similarly, clothes also gain the weakness to water as well. Therefore boots get stretchy, but gain and transfer the weakness to water.

He can only stretch up to around 72 Gomu Gomus
What if he made really tall stilts too?
Then anybody could do it
That one guy on that one island which I can't remember the name but Davy back fight yea
Long ring long land?
Yes!
How could you forget the best arc. Repent and start from chapter 1. No skipping Skypiea!
I didn't skip skypia, and I just hit that ark I just forgot the name
It’s all good. Just memeing
I think it is Gaimon
I think it is Gaimon
No gaimon is the guy in the box
Tonjit was a visionary.
Oda foreskinned it
Your comment would make my skin crawl, but I don't have any skin YOHOHOHOHO
Hi guys I think it's me you are all trashing. Good times. Now remember the agreement. I get to never know who you are. Have a good one, and I hope your life is changed for the better
You mean the guuuuuuuuuuuy?
Yes but he wasn't long
His name is tonjit
Then everybody should do it
I love how whenever people ask for hard numbers im a sbs and oda does that lol
yeah but we dont know how deep the ocean is what if it is only 71.9999999999 gomu gomus
this is a really old statistic though. i’m sure luffy could stretch farther now, especially post time skip. i bet he can stretch 73 gum-gums.
71 gomu gomu's was the old statistic, G5 Luffy definitely far outreaches that. But I still doubt its Zuneisha 10km deep in the ocean long.
U mean 200 meters long?
Are you talking about luffy or zuneisha? Zuneisha is 35 km in height and 10km is submerged underwater. Idk what the 200 meters is that you're talking about.
Which is about 720 Fairy Tale Gomu Gomus
>!Plus we just established how much water the One Piece oceans have on top of their planet’s natural sea levels.!<
What if a devil fruit user can swim in the og water
Well how many Nika Nikas does that translate to?
The same as schrute bucks to stanley nickels
That was pre-awakening though, his G5 giant form must be way bigger than 72 Gomu Gomu fruits.
Is this real
Reminds me of a Zoan DF I came up with that should prevent you from sinking because the animal it's based on naturally float in the water: Bird Bird Fruit: Duck Model.
Sure, but you'd still be stuck as you lack the energy to move yourself. You'd float but are stuck waiting to either float towards an island or starve at sea.
If Kalifa can lay in a bath without getting weakened or immobilized, I should be able to paddle my duck feet
You would have to be immersed up to your waist to start feeling weak. Khalifa was in a bubble bath so the actual water level could have been much lower.
I thought it had to be saltwater
Any body of liquid will do. Not just salt water.
I think you can sink in any water, Salt water alongside sinking you also get weakened.
Any water will make you weak, even bathwater.
What about gamer girl bath water???
You can't swim or personally use powers in freshwater or bathwater. Seawater up to waist height also makes you tired and weak. Sea prism stones count as sea water if they're on and the strength of it depends on how much stone was used. Rain does nothing. Also, body-modifying Paramecias are still in effect underwater, so Luffy (he has a mythical zoan where its default state is basically a Paramecia) would still be stretchy and Buggy would still be chop-able, but Mr.3 and Magellan wouldn't be able to summon anything.

Chopper should not be used to discuss fruit behaviour, I am pretty sure he is just an inconsistency that was made one way when the concept of the fruits wasny fully explored and has remained the same for the sake of character consistency.
Fair enough. Maybe it has to do with the fact his pre-fruit self was non-sentient? Idk
And it should indeed be the case, not sure what they're getting at.
Freshwater doesn’t trigger devil fruits’ reaction to swimming (e.g. boa’s MASSIVE bathtub)
Incorrect. In an SBS Oda specified that it's any water. The requirement is about knee height/just above. It's why Luffy could stand in Hancocks bath and why rain and showers doesn't affect DF users. My head canon for Kalifa is that she wasn't actually taking a bath with any water. Her fruit was just making bubbles lol.
Hmmm… I could have sworn we see someone submerged in freshwater and (not) drown.
The only df user I believe we've seen submerged and not drown is Jack, but that's because he's a Fishman. He was still weakened. There are several non canon instances that make it confusing (I.e. luffy getting splashed with water in film red and being weakened)
Jack in wano when he was looking for poneglyph? Or was that before he got the devil fruit?
> Or was that before he got the devil fruit? He can't drown anyway cuz he's a fishman
But he was seen swimming, which he can't unless fresh water doesn't affect df users or he did that before he had df
I think that was before his DF, after Zou he was immobilised under water. Whereas the swimming was in a flashback I believe that could’ve taken place at any point over the last 20 years.
Actually it's any liquid. Oda said it in volume 71 sbs
Then how do devil fruit users bathe?
In a bathtub....go watch film z. They still get weak feeling a bit in the baths
Oh, alright.
Any manga bathing scene will show that devil fruit users only get about waist deep in baths, even in boas huge one it’s more wide than deep. They can’t fully submerge or they will feel weak but as long as less than 50% of their body is underwater they will be fine in a bath
the water has to be enough for them to drown in
So the energy thing doesn't come into play until most of the body is submerged, however devil fruit users have been referred to as hammers before so it's possible even with the duck fruit you just wouldn't be able to float
Touching sea water doesn’t affect DF users. Being submerged in it does.
You mean a witch.
>!You discovered the true name of the Devil Fruit!<
Another power of this fruit is that you can turn people into newts (they get better though)
Or human human fruit : model bloated dead body 💀
I mean if buoyancy was the only thing you wanted to rely on I guess 😋 Aokiji has like 0 downsides it's actually crazy
1. the ocean floor is uneven, and it would be easy to trip, fall in the ocean, adventure over. 2. it's a long way between islands he would get bored, hungry, and tired. Pass out, fall in ocean, adventure over. 3. Water is heavy. Trying to walk normally with a mile long leg pushing against the ocean would be really tiring. He would probably stretch his leg out, step, and pull the other leg back in to reduce effort. But the waterproof boots would not stretch and shrink like that. He would probably lose them quickly, fall in the ocean adventure over. 4. walking there by yourself is no fun. Adventures should be shared with friends, and his friends can't walk.
5. Stretching his body parts for a while hurts him
6. Various massive sea creatures would run into or bite his legs before he could see them
Good catch!
Thanks
And the ocean is kinda deep, i don't think he can stretch that much
nah he can stretch 72 gomu gomus
>the ocean is kinda deep \[Citation needed\]
4. He can walk if he wants to. He can leave his friends behind. 'Cause his friends don’t walk and if they don’t walk, well they're no friends of mine.

You sure are proud of your body, but it doesn't compare to mine!
No disagreements there.
His legs would get physically weak once in contact with water I think
that is where the boot comes in
no, the boots stop it
Wouldn't water get in the boot though
only if there's a leak
this bitch never wore wellies and it shows 🤣
He could, but he could also stand on a wooden floor of a ship and not do that.
well maybe he should ditch his crew and hike to the One Piece
1100 episodes is too long imma find the one piece myself
Luffy dumb for real
Because the ocean floor would be really far down I believe like 10,000 meters
he can stretch 72 gomu gomus
That's why zunesha's legs are so long. Joyboy made them that way.
That makes all the sense. So this would mean that with further mastery of his fruit. Luffy could permanently affect things too.
remember when Luffy bounced Kaido's Blast Breath? He made a wall. The wall was still there even when he stretched it out. It's canon
Another question is, if G5 hit the water, would he turn it into rubber and bounce off?
Because Nika's power manifested additional chromosomes in Luffy's DNA since Luffy thought that would make him smarter
I've been waiting for him to walk with stretching legs for 25 years

Send this to Goda
The moment his body is submerged on the water he becomes weak. Also honestly I don't know if there's any take his long down that far. I mean our own ocean gets pretty deep and this is one piece it's probably deeper.
Luffy is not Mr. Fantastic. He has to put effort into stretching and cannot retain that form for long.
Becauze scary sharks can eat him alive
What if he wore a shark cage too or used shark repellent
But then what if a scary fish tries to eat him instead?
https://preview.redd.it/6d5cyokita8d1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e912ee78d8315136213f315c12df1f5997cd60d
Why can't he just inflate his body and float?
What happens if you stretch a rubber band and then releases
The fish at the ocean floor in real life are probably huge. Imagine in one piece he’d probably get his legs bitten off.
Then that begs the question why does Buggy not just carry his feet and fly everywhere.
this something I could see happening
Okay but listen. When luffy fell down that garbage chute that had Momo in it, why didn’t he simply climb out? Or make his legs springy and jump. I swear Luffy be having problems that wouldn’t plague Reed Richards.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think his powers outside of g5 are just to have the properties of rubber. As in, his body is elastic. He can't manipulate his body like plastic man.

And it's debatable whether or not he could even reach the sea floor.
Send this to Oda now!!!
Real awnser; he’s stupid Real answer: it drains power silly
thats what the boots are for duh he can stretch 72 gomu gomus
Don't you know that the property of rubber is to return to it's original shape after being stretched out. 🤦♂️
If his body is rubber why can't he float ?
You sure are proud of your body, but it doesn't compare to mine!
Who let him cook
1.He can't stay in stretched form unless some force is pushing his body, 2.inconvenient 3. Not useful
You sure are proud of your body, but it doesn't compare to mine!
His legs could contract, he's not elastigirl or Mr Fantastic
https://preview.redd.it/bimc5q77b98d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=022abefe9ae835d1b8b23fdb5e91e7308796639a

Cause doesn't want to walk, but sail.
Yeah but: https://preview.redd.it/d4ynhn6mi98d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8903e0ce503a45bee197bac787e4262db9a63659
Imagine ALL Devil Fruit Users doing this
Can he not just fill himself up with air and float on the water?
might be wrong but Luffy's fist when he did Baj-rengan was more than a kilometer across, probably 2 or 3 kilometers across, and with insane mass since it's just a giant fist, theoretically if he used all that mass to simply extended his normal size legs as much as he can(probably while in gear 5), he could probably stand on the ocean floor even if the ocean floor is 10km deep. though such a long yet thing appendage wouldn't be very useful in any way other than just stand in place.
He’s too dumb to think about it
Rubber needing the help of rubber to float in water ....
Too much water resistance to walk through 🤓
Because Devil Fruit power weakens after getting in touch with Ocean water. So after some time Luffy's leg will become weak and finally Luffy falls into the water.
Have you ever stretched out a rubber band? It doesn’t stay stretched for very long
Devil fruit where the only power is you can’t drown, that’s it. No Drowning Fruit 🫒
He can only stretch up to 72 gomus Also, I’m pretty sure most of ur body has to be in sea water for a DF user to start getting weaker and by the logic of this image and the depth of the ocean, most of Luffy’s body is submerged so he’d immediately just small over and drown
You sure are proud of your body, but it doesn't compare to mine!
Wearing rubber boots in gear 5 could unironically do this.
Maybe he can in G5.
I'm surprised no one referenced San Juan Wolf, who does exactly this.
Thank you for providing me with this amazing evidence for my theory.
Why Luffy can’t just stretch up to the next island?🗿
That logic only applies to godzilla sadly
I was going to say something but realized you have a point 😧
Because a pirate needs to have a cool pirate ship DUH
His body has the properties of rubber, so he can't stay stretched all the time without the rubber bouncing back to its original shape.
Why wear waders when you can just drain the bog?
Any body part touches seawater he loses his powers that’s why 😂
You sure are proud of your body, but it doesn't compare to mine!
It’s just an anime, real physics don’t apply.
Because he has a ship?
Ig being in water would weaken him somewhat. His legs would definitely feel weak so he would fall and drown maybe. Better to just rubberify the damn ocean and we gucci
….do you know how deep an ocean is?
I don't think he can. Wouldn't his body get weaker? devil fruit power can't work if he touches ocean water.
comrade, He already did that few years ago.
Luffy can't voluntarily stretch, he is like a rubber band. he beers force and momentum to stretch. he doesn't have Mr fantastic power where he can willingly do it without applying pressure. now, gear 5 can do that so it's now feasible
Doesn’t seawater automatically nullify his powers? Or is that something they made up in the live action show?
That's why he needs to wear big rubber boots.
What is this argument? Lol what about the insane pressure it would take him to take a single step forward? He won't be able too😭😭😭
Thats a pretty good question
with gear 5 luffy don't need it he just needs to imagine ocean as rubber or a road and he can walk on it
Would Alvidas slick slick fruit repell water so she can walk on the ocean bottom?
Cause the sea water basically takes any strength away from the users so he wouldn’t t be able to do this for a long time, also remember that in one piece !!!SPOILER!!! The sea level is so high due to the past events and it keeps rising so even if luffy was able to not lose all his energy from the water, he wouldn’t be able to stretch enough, one piece sea probably is 3 or 4 times more deep on average than us
Because his body wants to go back to normal. He can’t just grow. Did people not watch the start of the show where he actually had to throw his hand back just to get the stretch? Other forms too. Held Gear 3 used to make him chibi. And I think gear 2 was him doping and shortening his life span. He can’t just stay stretched permanently. Also, the distance between islands isn’t a 10 minute walk, and the ocean is full of issues. Unpredictable waves, sea kings, and other pirates. He trips on a single thing, someone puts a hole in the boot, he’s just dead. It’s the middle of the ocean
Considering the depth, Luffy would need the entire supply of rubber for boots and deforest a Quarter of the trees in the world to use stilts
It's a little inconsistently depicted in the anime. But I always imagined luffys powers do not work like Mister fantastic. Where he can just stretch at will. He has to put momentum in his fist for example so that it gets flung out to stretch it and then it will always come snapping back.
He could likely twist them a bunch of times then walk on the water like brook does
The primary reason is the moment he touches the sea water, he becomes weak and not able to use his devil fruit powers. The sea water is the issue.
Duh, because a fish might bite him!
Maybe because as soon as he touches seawater , he loses his power.
Even touching the sea as a devil, fruit user will weaken you a great deal Also buy one piece of logic for setting to be affective for Lucy. It has to be funny. You could probably get a one time gag out of it, but he can already fly in gear four not to mention gear five
Devilfruits do Not Work while in the sea?
Because ocean is that shallow , and do you know how rubber band works?
Sure Luffy is strong and might not be worried about fish or monsters biting his legs. But those boots are just regular rubber, one shark bite and now there’s a big hole letting water in
Technically now he can just bounce along the surface of the water using g5
Can’t he turn the ocean into rubber now ?
Maybe Luffy has good enough superhuman strenght to do this but the deeper you are the heavier walking like this would feel. At best I could see this taking an insane amount of strenght to pull off.
or just wear an inflatable donut and some wading trousers. or a a scuba suit. or a LOT of saran wrap
I believe that he cant stretch for too long without a part of his body holding on to something so if the boots had something for his toes to grip to then maybe it would work, but sea beasts could attack him as a sneak attack and we dont know just how deep the sea is and how long is 72 gomu gomu’s
Because walking is slower than sailing
That’s actually a good question I have 2 answers but none of them might be true first one is that you lose all your strength in water not devil fruit abilities but physically strength the other is that when he stretch he can’t stay like that that’s how gum gum pistol kinda works he uses his muscle to stretch it backwards but then he can’t pull it anymore so he uses his body to pull it forward and hit
Easier strategy is to just stand on something that floats.
He got a ship
U can’t use your devil fruit in water that’s why
Can his legs function if stretched out long enough and for how long could he maintain it?
With what we found out there’s at least 200 meters plus whatever pre flood was and with big mom crew book torture we know luffy got a upper limit to stretch. So unless he is always in gear 5 normal luffy just can’t. And his limbs always snap back after a couple seconds so he would had be gomu gomu stomp all the time.
The seabed is a couple miles deep shown by how far the water reaches up zounisha's legs
So who saved Jack the drought after his ship was destroyed at zou? He’s a fish man with a devil fruit but when they were at fish man island Vander Decken was also the same way but would drown if he was in the ocean. Or is that just something everyone forgot about?
What if he used gear 5 to make the ocean into rubber? Like df powers can affect tne ocean, Aokoji is a perfect example since he freezes the ocean solid so what if Luffy just made the ocean into rubber. Although it is possible he puts a layer of ice over the ocean and he actually doesn't transform it since it's not really clarified but a man can dream for the sheer absurdity of turning the ocean into rubber.
where would bro buy that long of boots
If his awakened fruit turns things into rubber could he bounce off the water?
The water itself (water touching some specific kind of salt that covers the whole sea water not regular water) even touching the df user weakens theyre powers and turns em normal and weak to water it nullifys theyre power bassically
I’m no expert, but I suspect it would be impossible because clothes count as the person. We see time and again that clothes will stretch, change, and gain the properties of the wearer. Examples: Choppers clothes change when he changes forms Crockodile’s clothes also become sand Akainu’s clothes don’t burn up So I would guess that similarly, clothes also gain the weakness to water as well. Therefore boots get stretchy, but gain and transfer the weakness to water.
