You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about lightning so allow me to clear up a few things. First, lightning doesn’t move at the speed of light, it’s actually a lot slower and doesn’t move in a straight line. Second, the damage caused by the worst lighting storm in all of earths history doesn’t even come close to the damage caused by the worst volcanic eruption. Lightning may burn hotter than magma, but the destructive potential of a volcano is far greater than that of lighting. Third… ok, I’ll admit this one’s less about lightning about more about metal, but my point still stands - Silver and copper are both more conductive than gold while being denser and less expensive. Pure gold is pretty easily damaged and just serves to paint a target on his back. Enel was also never shown to possess that level of control over the gold he wields and your story didn’t really show your MC training in that manner so it kind of came out of no where. Sorry if this is nitpicky, I really do enjoy the story, I just had to say that or it would sit in my brain and annoy me as I kept reading. I really am loving it so far I swear 😅
Ok that’s completely fair. And thank you for responding. I honestly love the way you are using a small aspect of Enel’s devil fruit ability to make it seem like your MC has a completely different power set. It’s super unique. After going back and watching Enel vs Luffy, I do see that the way Enel manipulated metal was more advanced than I originally thought. I guess I just didn’t expect him to have this much control. And if you’re introducing other metals later then I have nothing to say on that matter and I look forward to reading it 🫡
VeganMaster:Well, thanks for enjoying the story first off ;) The first one is an issue I kinda ran into as well, couldn't find the exact speed of lightning, I got different results in different places, so I made him move at light speed by turning into electromagnetic waves. Second, volcanic eruptions may cause more damage, but Lightning itself is a lot more destructive than Magma, the way they manifest is certainly a factor in destruction levels, and since he can control lighting he can manifest it however he wants. And third, metal one, well this is more of something I extrapolated from the original, something that was severely underused. Original Enel showed similar control over metals, he could turn a staff into a sharp spear instantly, and that's basically all that's needed to do what current Enel is doing. It's the same thing, but with more gold(other metals get introduced later btw)
Thanks for the chapter :) If you wanna sell the idea of the MC possessing a DF capable of manipulating metal, then I suggest you give him a container filled with dust of any metal, like Gaara has with his Gourd of Sand, and have him use it for both offensive and defensive purposes. As if right now, all he has is his Golden Staff and Golden Rings to showcase his "metal manipulating" capabilities.
Surprisingly logical fight, him taking doffy by surprise works and doffy being unable to react properly afterwards fits how observation haki needs proper focus. The hotter than the sun argument is, once again, mostly rubbish, considering that most fires are actually hotter than magma; Akainu most likely destroyed ace because of his skill and the physical, viscous, sticky and heavy nature of magma giving him a strength advantage.
I see devil fruits need to be trained and are never op from the start because if this was the case than df training that we have all seen would be meaningless and if kizaru is truly capable of light speed than he should be able to obliterate every yonko in a single punch.the main point is that df powers are not able to replicate the powers that they portray,if this was possible than df users would absolutely be able to destroy garp who has no df,i know that is haki but garp can subdue hardy pirates who have df's and use haki with only his physical haki
Author, i'm here after reading chapter 7(I haven't read further). You wrote there that enel can outrun garp sengoku akainu and others, but it's comletely wrong. Top level character's in one piece are mftl+. luffy in sabaody arc casually dodging pacifist's light beams and saying it's too slow, but then after many power ups in wano arc he is stomped by kaido's speed, he couldn't react even with his future vision.
I keep thinking about it... haki leaves the guy with the Superman defense or something? bro, speed is power, I literally hate people who don't understand basic physics. The force of a blow has nothing to do with physical strength, but mass + speed. physical strength only serves to accept the blow reaction without getting hurt. Can the haki stop a spear at 100,000 meters per second from piercing its stomach? Do you have any idea of the speed of lightning? theoretically it can go around the earth TWO in 1 second. my jaw drops when I see that "if he used haki, my physical attacks would be useless".
