Wait. It's still 14 / 22 free. Kariese saved Shane... These were not in that count.

True. I missed that. :oops:

Count: 14 knights, 20 zubats. None acting in another character's scene.

Having now noticed that my official impact on the monster count was less than I thought, I feel vaguely unaccomplished. Though I suppose it's still good to leave some for the BAMFs who don't like to share.

I thought you were all gonna kill more, which is why I left so many.

I wouldn't see it like that. Never got 1/6, Shane was 1/0, I did 2/1 and you did 2/3. It's just that I noted the ones in Shane's post as separate because they were there instead of free to be summoned anywhere. But it's still a inpact comparable to what we did before.

And I also think we're all doing good in-character measurements here. Marco is not going to draw atention to himself by going too flashy after seeing both Marisa's and Sabrac's attacks.

I can't just pop a Die for Me out of nowhere... And I don't have enough Aces and Kings to deal with a lot of knights.

Shane wasn't really trying to fight. It was mostly a survival move.

Krestal was actually the one actually fighting the best until now. Everyone else was either holding back or couldn't do much.

Well, never's character is probably a badass in his own right. I haven't watched One Piece personally, but I'm familiar with some of the crazy sh*t that series pulls.

Guy's a Phoenix. A blue one... When you think that a Rubber Guy can simulate a steam engine with his heart and blood to turbo charge his moves and abuse the stretchiness to actually withstand the absurd raise in pressure so he does not explode from it... You get to think what a Phoenix can pull of. I mean, that laser dodge and the deep frying on the zubats? Warm up by One Piece standards.

In terms of sheer power level, he's probably the only one who can stand up to Sabrac and Marisa in a straight fight. (Because Haki. Never can explain it when it enters the equation sometime down the line).

Trying not to be too flashy? I had massive flaming wings in my post. Like I said, I thought everyone was gonna kill more, I didn't want to go overboard.

Seeing as your discussing it, in universe it's been said that Marco may be the strongest character in the One Piece universe. The only guy who may have been stronger died and he had the power to literally shake the planet to pieces. I would have chosen him but there was no way he wouldn't be hideously overpowered.

Well, if it was shaking the planet to pieces, I think that Sabrac MIGHT be able to handle him un-nerfed. With Stigmata and his full regen, he is basically immortal, and due to the fact that his body is fused with the battlefield, magic effects that target the terrain are annulled.

To give you an idea of how ridiculous Sabrac's full power is...

Some of the protagonists fought Sabrac in a pocket dimension and one used a spell on Sabrac's human form (which contains his mind) that cut it off from all magical links. (in this case, the line to his body and his power) Sabrac's reaction was amusement that they thought that that would work twice, and then revealed that as long as his mind was disconnected from his body, the insane amount of power he held would go out of control and DECONSTRUCT REALITY ITSELF AROUND THEM. That's... pretty overpowered.

Even now, I'm holding back. I haven't used my character's shapeshifting ability yet, and I've already chosen to have her hide it so that the others don't know all her cards. I don't think I'll hide it for long, though, cause I really like shapeshifters and it kills me to not use it.

At the current point, he most probably is the second or third strongest. The "megaman" probably is stronger at this point... And it really depends on whether or not you count Hawkeyes in the mix. But still, Marco is a BEAST.
Think about Sabrac level of damage potential, if only a bit slower due to smaller flame wave size.

Heh, want to know something funny? As overpowered as some of you are you will stay be fighting things that are going to make you have to think. I can't wait for the plot ball to start moving.

Glad to hear it! I like to think. Especially about killing things. I'm totally not being creepy right now. At all. I also totally didn't drink WAY too much caffeine WAY too fast and then listen to creepy music of awesome doom to get myself into the mood for my Sabrac post.

I'll elaborate on how strong the other guy was because it is sheer awesome. When he died he took on an entire army of marines and several strong pirates and admirals. He fought three admirals who could control magma, ice and light (think gigantic lasers) respectively. He tanked a ridiculous amount of attacks before death. His body had hundreds of stab and bullet wounds and at one point he continued to fight despite having half his face burned off. He only lost after an entire army emptied their rifles into him. This whas all while he was in his fifties, meaning he was way past his prime, and suffering from tuberculosis.

Awesome move there. So far, watching the scenes tells that you're actually not holding back. Having that power as a wildcard is just perfect planning. :D

He's pretty much the strongest. The heads of the world government said he may be the only person strong enough to stop Blackbeard.
