That could probably correlate with Ruby having a natural talent for leadership and making new teamwork maneuvers on a fly along with befriending people she meets even when she had no experience as shown at the initiation of Beacon Academy.
To be fair, short of Lily Carnation (if I decided to do that horror show disgused as a One Piece movie) there isn't really anything I can think of in One Piece that would be affected by Silver Eyes.
It can still blind everyone like a massive Solar Flare-like distraction or even affect Saturn of the Five Elders who's apparently more a long lived demon of vile dark nature than human especially his spider form and magic circle he came out of.
Yeah, I feel having a clean divide of "this person is from Remnant, no Haki for you!" Or "This person is from One Piece, no Aura for you!" Takes some of the fun out of a crossover.
Thriller Bark stuff? Yeah, maybe.
Now I imagine Gecko Moria take Ruby's shadow and add it to one of his Zombies of Thriller Bark. And Ruby will have to get it back or befriend the zombie possessing her shadow.
Like, this needs to be stressed. Usopp is not gonna have a good time in this fic. His Inferiority complex is gonna be going full blast until at least Water 7. He's gonna be shown up by Ruby.
Yeah, there's a reason Ruby is the First Mate, even if she doesn't show it. She's arguably (or really unarguably) more suited for captain ship than Luffy, so it's her job to keep everyone doing their job and alive since Luffy is... Well, a grade A dumbass powered purely by his whims and whatever crackhead logic he comes up with in any particular moment.
No wonder Luffy is compatible with his Gum-Gum Fruit or rather Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika that allows him to do some wacky things.
Oh, definitely, but ultimately Ruby has years of experience leading people, as opposed ot Luffy who's leadership style most of the time can best be summed up as "dude, we're friends who do shit together, we don't need a leader"
Fair enough, Luffy doesn't do plans and so his friends and allies use him as the guy who cause the biggest commotion drawn towards him and plan around him to their advantage.
oh, she's still keeping an eye out for s way back to Remnant, it's just this is basically an extended vacation. Doing anything other than stress about the fate of the world.
And that Ruby would find a new purpose in the world of One Piece: find her teammates Yang, Weiss and Blake and also Jaune since they fell from Ambrosius' network of golden bridges like she did.
It'd work better if the powers themselves were more equal, but Aura just isn't good enough for it to stand up that way, and on the other hand it's hard to scale it up in a way that doesn't trivialize earlier fights.
Exactly. Aura starts strong, but there is a point where it levels out and can't keep up anymore.
Plus, Roger and his crew follow the rule of "you must know how to swim" and not rely on a Devil Fruit alone. Of course there are exceptions with Buggy who ate the Chop-Chop Fruit by accident (Shanks spooked him in the middle of intending to sell it) and also Douglas Bullet who ate the Clank-Clank Fruit out of desperation to survive in his time as a child soldier prior to joining Roger Pirates.
The fact of the matter is that four of the strongest fighters of their age, Garp, Oden, Silver and Rogers, relied soley on Haki. Devil Fruits can make you more powerful, Whitebeard, Big Mom and Kaido were all monsters with just their Devil Fruit, but Haki is the ultimate force in the One Piece world, and without access to it in any way shape or form there would be a point where Ruby is reduced from Supporting Protagonist to Supporting character.
Don't forget those 3 were also former members of the Rocks Pirates led by Xebec who apparently doesnt have a Devil Fruit either but is considered so freakishly strong with Haki he held the entire crew of future Emperors and other bigshot pirates like Golden Lion Shiki together despite they don't get along with each other, and they only follow him for his strength alone.
Yeah, as I said, Ruby, let alone RWBY characters that don't get Devil Fruit, would be left in the dust without Haki eventually. To bully the poor boy even further, even Usopp has Observation Haki.
It'd be amazing to see Silver Eyes being enhanced by Conqueror's Haki awakened by Ruby and it will super extra damage to the enemy.
Ironic when Ruby and her friends just stand around to stare, fight and talk with Cinder Fall and her cohorts in the massive hallway of Haven Academy.
