A Man’s Dream Never Dies: A One Piece Quest

I... dislike Coli's power. It just wouldn't make for awesome fight scenes. All for the Logia though. But I have a better idea. Let's kill Enel and take his fruit!

It would be super useful though! useing it in a social setting is OP as hell and as long as we disengage it before being hit by Haki it lets us Perfect play all of our fights. we can also use it to thwart all sorts of baddy plans by literally seeing how it plays out and screw them over with a single addition if we use it correctly we would never have to fight!
 
Coil's power seems to me entirely like it could just be a derivative of Observation Haki, if it would even exist in setting.

People, leave Worm out of this. It's One Piece, not Worm. Just enjoy the wonders about to commence.
 
I can't believe you guys didn't pick Conqueror's. Remember Marineford, remember when Luffy busted it out?

Everyone took notice. Akoiji, who by all accounts is a chill dude, didn't kill strawhat all those times when he could've, he decided that Luffy had to die right then right there. They don't do that because all it does is beat mooks.
 
Well I assume our Conqueror's will never be as good as it could have been if we had picked that as the option, but that may not be the case.
 
Well they had advantages and disadvantages

Adamnet Haki lets us polish up our basic combat skills ( sword, fist, Foot and even Gun if the whole Imbuing Haki into arrows thing works for them) to a very high degree and lets us all DF users on an even playing field. but well it's not flashy and a lot of people have it

Observation would have been a nice precog power that would again allow us versatility in and out of battle but really dosent offer anything for offence

Conquerors is an i win button against fodder and low tier guys and is even capable of interupteing Mid to High tier guys. however this would have Gotten us a TON of attention from everyone so im actally glad we did not get this

Logia... Well i'm blad we did not get this one use full yes Powerful not really. we kinda would have lost our advantage in later areas

Zoan would have been useful a Mythic type zoan with a bunch of different types and forms would give us a very wide move and form list to chose from and would allow us to talior our fighting style to our opponent. of all the devil fruits this one would have been our best option for long term growth as we can combine this with Haki quite easily for an explosive growth in power.

Coil fruit would have Been OP ( pun intended) but not in it's use in combat rather it's ability to essentially do long term scouting allowing us to see what people have planed, run certain conversations over and over and over again to achieve the " right" result, basicly play Ground hog's day untill we play a situation off in a way we would like. This would not be a combat fruit as it Achieves a sort of poor man's observation Haki there but rather a utility fruit that lets us Dominate outside of combat

    Id have loved to take Optimistic instead of Cunning for a trait but it seems like it would clash with Distrustful which is a shame.

    For the weapon choice, while all the Rokushiki are extremely useful I'm happy enough to just have a basic knowledge of them all which we can train ourselves later. Which, yea we absolutely will.

    Having a good foundation with the Sword should augment our existing Armament Haki skill and allow us to give - and take - a huge amount of damage in combat which our speed and agility will make pretty damn impressive.

    As for the Haki choice. Well, it's not really a choice... Conquerors Haki is the one we're most likely to have trouble learning by ourselves so it's best to have a solid grounding in it. The fact that everything requires a teacher to initially learn is a huge hurdle. Anyone who's able to teach us Conquerors Haki is going to be insanely hard to find, never mind actually convincing them to teach us. Most of them will be our rivals after all.

    Honestly, a free basic education in Conquers Haki is an absolute must.

    Armament Haki + Sword + Basic Rokushiki + Speed and Agility... That's an incredible combination. And since we'll also have conquerors Haki to get rid of the mooks (and more later) we have a fantastic build.

    I'd go with a Soru specialization with either strength and durability or creativity and perception. The former means we could move fast with our Soru to hit really, really hard, and the latter is just useful in general for creating techniques if we ever get a Devil Fruit ability.

    Going for this so that we can start out the gate shrugging off cannonballs and such while punching hard and fast.

    Because you need to be eccentric in one piece.

    Gluttonous is just par for the course for powerful characters I would think.

    Obsessive is that we are so obsessed with becoming Pirate king that not even our crew dieing will get us on a different path.

    Soru is probably the most overpowerd Marine skill there is and if we work with speed and agility besides we won't even be seen by anyone before they have a boot in the face.

    If Conquerors haki would need a trainer and there are so few people who can use it or know someone to use it we should get it now for free.

    I'd not go with antisocial, ANV. If we're gonna be a captain then we need to be able to readily make friends with people to get them to join us.
     
    [X] Plan HastyGaming

    The biggest things here are weapon style, combat style, and Haki.
    Weapon style because swords are fucking badass personally.
    Combat style because the only reliable way to beat Observation Haki users is to out speed them. Being strong isn't helpful if they can avoid your moves.
    Conqueror's Haki is hard to find a trainer for.

    As long as we know the basics (which we do) we can improve all the Rokushiki later on our own. Being exceptionally skilled with a weapon to start will be a huge advantage.

    Sword + Armament Haki (increased attack and defence) + Speed and Agility will be so powerful. And of course Conquerors Haki for the mooks...

    Perhaps, but all of the flaws have...issues. Being Anti-social doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be unable to get a good crew. I'm really just taking it though because I have a image in my head of what flaws and virtues go together.

    That said, what do you suggest? I'm also leaning to swapping out Soru for Tekkai for maximum tanking, but having some speed is going to be necessary.
     
    [X] Plan HastyGaming

    Hey @HastyGaming I really like your plan but do you mind changing Greedy with Wrathful or Antisocial? I'll still vote for your plan since I agree with most of your reasoning (especially getting Conqueror and being an agile swordsman).
     
    [X] Plan HastyGaming

    My only quibble really is taking Greedy as a character flaw, as a former marine I would have imagined we'd be above such things. I'd much prefer we'd take Wrathful instead, which would synergise well with our decision to leave the Marines after our disillusionment with the World Government.

    Switched it for Wrathful. Diller and Manav convinced me on Rolz.

    I'm not a huge fan of Wrathful but I don't really care about Greedy either, it just seemed like the best of a bad bunch. But Wrathful makes a lot of sense given our backstory.

    Only the personality aspects of the vote must be included in plan format. The rest can be done as normal votes, if you guys want to. Either way is fine with me.

    Taking Hasty's personality traits but ANV's skills.

    Skills are good because it means we move very fast to close in on the enemy and we punch really, really hard. We can be One Punch Man. :p

    It's an advantage IF you use a weapon. Pure martial arts characters are a thing in One Piece. Also, I'd rather not compete with Zoro for best swordsman - that's a losing battle. Dude's got three of them. Also, I presume that specializing in a particular Rokushiki move or a particular weapon opens up unique options, though @Mazrick can confirm that.

    Anyways, I want to punch things. Real men punch things.

    Ill be leaving mine as a plan since each of the options are chosen to synchronize with each other.

    Let me know if you change your mind and want me to change it.
     
    [X] Plan HastyGaming

    he changed Greedy to Wrathful. so I can fully support it given we'll still know the basics of rokushiki allow us to work on them later.(MUH GEPPOU FLIGHT! MUH SORU SPEED BLITZING)

    Swords because swords are awesome and it goes well with our haki.
    Conqueror's because its literally the hardest to train and the hardests to find a trainer for so this will let us get it out of the way. Plus we can easily level it up by using it on mooks.
    Speed and Agility since we have arnamnet and tekkai to deal with durability.(MUH TEKKAI ARMANAMENT HAKI COMBO)
