Who is stronger, Luffy or the yellow ape?In One Piece, it was difficult to determine who was stronger between Luffy and Huang Yuan.
From the perspective of strength development, Luffy's strength had increased greatly after taking risks and fighting continuously, becoming the new Four Emperors. He became famous especially after defeating Kaido in the Country of Harmony incident. As a navy general, Huang Yuan was a natural ability user with the Twinkling Fruit ability. He had always been very strong, and he also had top-notch swordsmanship and Tricolor Domination. He was called a monster as soon as he joined the navy.
In One Piece 1091, Luffy claimed that he was 100 times stronger than he was two years ago, but this did not mean that he could defeat Huang Yuan in battle. They had direct conflicts, such as Luffy kicking the yellow ape, but the outcome of the battle was affected by many factors. For example, in chapter 1093, the yellow ape showed his new ability and injured the fifth Luffy, but from the battle situation, he could not resist when he was caught by Luffy. From the characteristics of the ability, the yellow ape's natural ability gave him a strong destructive power and speed to counter Luffy's attack. Luffy's strength mainly came from the fruit ability and combat skills, but he was slightly weaker than the yellow ape in the use of the fruit. In addition, the battle environment, the will of both sides, and whether there was external intervention would also affect the outcome of the battle between them.
One Piece Luffy and Yellow ApeIn One Piece, Luffy and Huang Yuan had many exciting confrontations and interactions.
In One Piece's 1091 story, the yellow ape broke into the internal protective shield, attacked the Battle Peach Ball, and controlled the Peacekeepers to attack the sea beast weapons. When the yellow ape was ready to chase after Vegaforce - 01 and find the Sonny, Luffy kicked the yellow ape. Luffy claimed that they were 100 times stronger than they were two years ago. During this process, the yellow ape used several rounds to defeat Zhan Momaru. Then, it entered the research floor to chase after the giant robot without any injuries. However, it was kicked by Luffy's Entangling Overlord.
In addition, Luffy had ordered everyone to retreat in the 1108th episode, and he had stayed behind to block the yellow ape and Satan. He was about to face these two top-notch powerhouses at the same time.
Navy General Huang Yuan had always been ridiculed as Luffy's " uncle." Although there were no plot clues to show that they were related, in the 110th volume of the SSS program, Oda's answer hinted that Huang Yuan might have used the power of the sparkling fruit to send food to the starving Luffy. However, this behavior was analyzed as the yellow ape's attempt to save Bernie and Begapunk, not because it was related to Luffy.
Luffy's Giant Ape King SpearThe Great Ape King Spear was Luffy's ultimate move. In terms of domineering moves, Luffy's Great Ape King Spear was more domineering than Sauron's Nine Blade Stream. In terms of power, this move was more powerful against people below the four emperors. For example, when Dresrosa killed Doflemingo in an instant, it was not very effective against the four emperors. When he used it against Kaido in the Kingdom of Peace, Kaido even felt that it was like the hangover fist. However, Sauron's "Nine Blade Flow" Asura could cut Kaido in the human-beast state. In terms of burden, the Great Ape King Spear placed a greater burden on the body. Luffy's fourth gear had its own drawbacks, such as his stamina being unable to meet the demand, the short duration, the body entering a weakened state after returning to its original state, and the 10-minute cooldown time of the Armed Color Haki. When using the Great Ape King Spear, Luffy had more patterns on his body, which meant that the burden was greater. On the other hand, Sauron's Nine Blade Stream was a blade technique, so it did not harm the body nor burden it. Luffy had used the Great Ape King Spear a total of three times. The first time was when he killed Doflemingo in Dresrosa. The second time was when he used the power of the Barrett's Fruit of Fusion in the movie version of Operation Fever, but he couldn't directly defeat Barrett. The third time was when he used it on Kaido in the chapter of the Land of Peace.
Ace Luffy Ran into Blackbeard Fanfiction: What Could Happen Next?It could also be that instead of fighting right away, there's a tense stand - off. Luffy, remembering Ace's past encounters with Blackbeard, would be full of anger and distrust. Blackbeard, on the other hand, might try to taunt Luffy, trying to get him to make a rash move. The situation could escalate slowly as they exchange words, with their crews on edge, waiting for the first sign of action.
Ace Luffy Ran into Blackbeard Fanfiction: How Would Their Crews React?Blackbeard's crew is also a diverse bunch. His more aggressive members like Burgess might be eager to start a fight with Luffy's crew. However, some of the more cunning members could be thinking of ways to use the situation to their advantage. They might try to manipulate Luffy or his crew into making mistakes. And if Blackbeard decides on a certain course of action, his crew would generally follow, but there could be some internal dissent depending on the situation.
Luffy's Five-Gear Ape God SpearLuffy's fifth-grade Divine Ape Spear was one of his strongest moves. In the battle with Kaido, Luffy used the Rubber-Ape Spear, while Kaido used the Rising Dragon Flaming Eight Trigrams. The two heaven-defying divine skills collided fiercely, and the intense aura could blow away the clouds in the sky. Furthermore, during the battle, Luffy recalled Bao Wulang's teachings and used this move to send Kaido to hell. In the final battle with Kaido, Luffy also used the Ape God Spear and asked Momosuke to use his ability to pull away from Haima, intending to defeat Kaido with one punch.
Luffy's fourth-gear Ape King SpearLuffy's fourth-grade Ape King Spear was one of his many moves.
The Ape King Spear was a fourth-tier move that had undergone many upgrades. Its prototype was Luffy's original "Shoot at Random." The power of this move was much stronger than the rubber gun's random attack (head-on attack), the rubber Jet gun's random attack, the rubber elephant gun's random attack (three gears with the color of the armor), and the rubber eagle gun's random attack. Not only would Luffy enlarge his hands, but he would also retract his fists into his body to increase the power and speed of his fists. Then, he would randomly punch his opponent in one breath. The destructive power was very high. Those who could withstand this move would need to be at least as strong as the Three Generals and Three Generals Stars.
The Great Ape King Spear had strengthened its power on the basis of the Ape King Spear. It was as if it had activated the third gear after the fourth gear, causing a qualitative change in its power. Luffy had used the Great Ape King Spear a total of three times. The first time was when Dresrosa was fighting against Dorenmingo. As Dorenmingo was difficult to defeat with ordinary moves, Luffy used the Great Ape King Spear to "KO" him in one move, freeing Dresrosa. The second time was during the movie version of Operation Fever. Luffy had used the Great Ape King Spear to its limit to deal with Barrett's Fruit of Fusion. However, Barrett, who was already on par with Riley when he was young, could only defeat Barrett's Fruit of Fusion with this move. The third time was when he used it on Kaido in the Kazuki Nation chapter. Luffy used 2nd gear, 3rd gear, and even 4th gear to attack Kaido, but the effect was not obvious. In the end, he used the Great Ape King Spear to attack the drunk Kaido. However, Kaido used the Thunder Eight Trigrams to counterattack. The Great Ape King Spear did not have any effect on Kaido, and Luffy was defeated by the Thunder Eight Trigrams.
In terms of the domineering stance, the Great Ape King's Spear, which was imbued with a domineering stance, was slightly stronger than Sauron's Nine Blade Stream, which was imbued with a domineering stance. However, judging from the power of the move, the Great Ape King Spear did not cause any effective damage to the humanoid Kaido, while Sauron's "Nine Blade Stream" Asura could cut and injure the stronger humanoid Kaido. Judging from the burden of the move, Sauron's Nine Blade Stream was a blade technique that did not harm the body. Luffy's fourth gear had a certain risk, and the Great Ape King Spear had a greater burden on the body. When Luffy used it, the more lines on his body meant that the burden was heavier. In addition, Luffy's stamina consumption in the fourth gear state was high, and it did not last long. After he returned to his original state, he would enter a weak state. The armed color of domineering had a 10-minute cooldown time.
