<Snipped quote by Hillan>

See, Smoke Logia is just difficult to deal with, Electrical fire can set anything on fire, which it did, but smoke is just not tangible enough to do it all the time. Xerxes set him on fire on the ship, but he simply pulled his essence away to avoid it. Heavenly Cataclysm only dispersed him, although the lack of oxygen should have affected him on a molecular level, anime science ain't the same as real science. Smoke Logia just has little weaknesses, if someone decided to eat the wind wind fruit then Johnny is done, but other wise, he is gonna be hard to fight.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears, for the next time they meet.

@LokiLeo789
The trick would probably be either Haki or better physical stats. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Xerxes probably would have gotten folded in half several times over if it weren't for explosive shielding.

@Hillan You keep bringing up that very low temperatures could essentially freeze smoke solid, whereas higher temperatures are less capable of dealing damage to smoke. Where is that coming from, and is there any source you can use to back up what you're saying? Because from what I'm reading, it is actually possible to set smoke alight in a backdraught/flashover effect due to it containing flammable particles that didn't burn already, though to be fair, that requires more oxygen than was already present in the atmosphere, and so may not be applicable in the case of what Xerxes was trying to do.

EDIT: Also, I'm just wondering when @NachoBachoPacho is going to have his character Awaken his Devil Fruit and just turn into a gigantic gorilla person.

I'm just glad to see Anaru didn't get straight up merked so early on. I've been finding his exploits pretty fun to read so far. Perhaps his survival here might be attributed to unconscious Haki use to defend against the blast? It'd be a cool setup for later on too. Then he'd be really "Solid".

@NachoBachoPacho To be fair, the only Awakened Zoans that have been shown off so far are the Impel Down Jailer Beasts, and it seems like all of them act on little else beyond instinct and power, with no complex thought. Then again, they may well be unique cases as far as Awakened Zoans go, since they are all part of a single group under the World Government. Having said that, I can only imagine what a Giant with a Zoan fruit would be like... or an Awakened Zoan... or any Awakened Logia user, regardless of race, given how strong Awakened Paramecias can end up.

Actually, good question, folks: when do you think Luffy's going to end up Awakening the Gomu Gomu no Mi's power, and what's that likely to do for him? Since, y'know, he's not done it yet, and it seems like a logical next step for him given how much stuff he's achieved with his abilities thus far.

Spirillum [+]

Name:

Spirillum Kettsia.

Nickname:

Spiril.

Height/Weight:

182 CM, 57KG.

Age:

22

Personality:

Honest, kind, protective and eager to learn. Spiril is a strange fellow. Most of the time he is a relatively laid-back guy, but when something sparks his interest he switches. Once he gets going he will not stop before he tracks down all the info there is about the subject, and at which point he will return to his dormant state until the next thing comes along.

Home Island/Sea:

Loguetown/ East Blue

History:

Spiril grew up in Loguetown as the only child of the town two librarians, and as a child he spent most of his days in the library with his mom and dad. He would run around the library, grabbing random books off the shelves and returning to his parents so that he could have them read them to him. Sure, he didn't know what half the words were or what they meant, but the books interested him none the less. He could spend countless hours in his father lap listening to everything from pirate stories all the way to plant biology, and his parents rejoiced that it seemed that their son had inherited their hunger for knowledge.

The years swiftly went by, but not much changed. Spiril and his family still spent most of their time in the library, but there were no longer any cozy dad and son moments, and over time Spiril developed a need for knowledge about the devil fruits. Their power amazed him, but they also horrified him as he started to understand just how much power they could give one person, sometimes making said person almost invincible. He kept digging and digging, searching for more knowledge until one day where he just stumbled upon one at a market. He was quick to offer the seller a huge amount of gold, but sadly the seller refused any offer that Spiril made, but he foolishly agreed to let Spiril hold it for a moment, and Spiril chomped down on the fruit the moment he had it in his hands. Safe to say that the seller wasn't too happy, and Spiril was quickly captured and put in a holding cell in one of the marines ships.

Fruit:

Name: Bacteria Bacteria Fruit
Type: Paramecia.
Description: The devil fruit gives Spiril the ability to create, control and destroy bacteria.

Abilities/Race Traits:

Spirli has pretty extensive medical knowledge for someone his age and he will have a pretty good idea of how do deal with most injuries, but he sucks at fighting. His powers give him no advantage when it comes to fighting, and since he has never been trained. So in a fight he is about as useful as a piece of wet toast.

Fighting style:

If he is forced to fight Spiril will try to inject bacterial cells into his opponent, and then try to outlast them as the bacteria slow deteriorates their immune system and makes them sick.

Ship Positions:

Currently none, but planning for him to be a doctor for Golden Fleece Pirates eventually.

Bounty:

N/A
