Jotaro Kujo is one the most powerful stand users
of all time, a true top tier in the franchise of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. But what if we he
was to take on the world of One Piece? How far would he get? And would it be further than
where I am because I’m stuck in Fishmen Island. Trust me I know. I’ve been reading
Tower of God on the side honestly. Well how are we going to approach this?
Well, considering that Luffy is the main character and he fights the main antagonist
himself most of the
time, the best thing to do would to be have Jotaro follow through
Luffy’s journey and see who he can beat. [How Strong is Jotaro?]
For those unfamiliar with Jotaro’s strengths with the help of his stand, Star Platinum:
Super precision Massively faster than light combat speed
Super strength with City Level to Large Mountain Level attack potency
Super eyesight, breath, and durability. It’s like a lower key super man
type of deal. He’s a stong guy, but he can also stop time for up to 5 seconds.
Alongside that, as stands are on
this different plane of existence, they can do things like phase through matter,
while also being capable of affecting it. [East Blue]
In the Romance Dawn arc, Luffy faces a Sea King and Alvida. Now, I don’t
think we can scale this Sea King considering it doesn’t do much, extremely possible that this
is the same one that took Shanks’ arm. And Luffy one-shots it. Romance Dawn Luffy stronger
than Shanks? I’m not saying anything else about that, that’s for y’al
l to deal with.
Now jokes aside, Alvida has characters that are most likely close to her level of
strength, but they have better Devil Fruits, like for example Buggy. What’s extremely
interesting is that Luffy goes on to take Alvida out relatively quick. So even the
main character isn’t trying hard at all. Jotaro in these fights, it goes easy. It
can’t take much considering that these two don’t have the speed to match Jotaro at
all. He most likely destroys the whole ship without much effort
at all. Effectively
putting an end to the Alvida pirates. [Orange Town]
Next we’re in Orange Town going against one of the greatest characters
to ever happen to this franchise. Buggy the Clown, alterative names, Lucky the Clown, The
Crowned Clown, you get the idea. Buggy’s main ability comes from his devil fruit, the Bara Bara
no Mi, or Chop-Chop Fruit. This Paramecia devil fruit, allows Buggy to split his body into pieces
and reassemble them at will. This makes him immune to slashing atta
cks. The good thing is that Jotaro
doesn’t have to worry about that, and instead he’s going to brute force his way through this battle.
Because Jotaro should blitz here, as his speed is more than enough, I think if Jotaro had
been a character with similar speed to Buggy, then he’d be able to separate himself to dodge
any sort of attack Jotaro would have to offer. [Syrup Village]
Now on to Syrup Village, against the not very famous Captain Kuro. What
him a formidable opponent in this time was
the fact that he was extremely fast pirate. Luffy had
been able to beat him with his perception due to early-on observation haki, but Jotaro won’t need
it as he’s largely faster than Kuro altogether. [Baratie]
In Baratie, Luffy fights Don Krieg. Zoro also fights MiHawk,
but we won’t be worrying about MiHawk for now. Don Krieg will be out focus for the next… minute?
Don Krieg is not a threat here, and as far as I am in terms of “caught up” I also haven’t seen
him in forever. He’s supposedly
a weapon’s master, and for most I think he’s a surprising character
to fight against in the merit that he’s capable of a lot and has a fairly varied artillery, but
aside from that, he’s not much of a threat. [Arlong Park]
In Arlong Park, Arlong is essentially a comparably better
Dark Blue Moon. He’s capable of superhuman physical characteristics. And while he is
a skilled swordsman, you’ll also see him working with his teeth, nose, and even water
manipulated projectiles. Now, while on pape
r he looks like he’s fairly capable, Jotaro is
going to completely no-diff this character. Now, notice a trend here. This area
of One Piece, being the East Blue, it’s fairly easy to beat a lot of these
characters considering they’re just casually strong with not much to them. It isn’t
until we get over to the opponents with the truly terrifying devil fruits where I have
to completely re-evaluate how easy it all been. [Loguetown]
The next arc is Loguetown, and this is where Luffy actually lo
ses to Smoker, but is
saved by Dragon. Smoker’s Devil Fruit is the Moku Moku no Mi, or the Plume-Plume fruit depending on
who you’re asking. This fruit is a logia fruit, meaning that it allows the user to transform
their body into an element of nature at will, and be able to create and control said
nature. His fruit allows him to generate, manipulate, and become smoke. And while
Jotaro can’t swing on him normally, there are three exceptions here. Speed, time
stop, and Star Platinum’s lung
capacity. Firstly, speed. Now Smoker can choose to turn
his body into Smoke, but there’s a level of acknowledgement that comes with it. Logia users
usually develop the ability to change on reflex. The combination of that plus something like good
observation Haki allows them to see something coming and dodge it however they need to. With
this in mind, considering that Smoker can’t see Star Platinum coming and isn’t anywhere near as
fast as he needs to be, he’d should be able to win this figh
t. In addition to that, Smoke probably
isn’t the best Logia to have considering that Star Platinum can just inhale whatever areas of
Smoker’s body he wants to change. The last thing is ‘Time Stop’ because being caught off guard is
one thing, but completely removing the ability for them to react or do anything, then he’s going
to get smacked completely. No Dragon required! [Whiskey Peak]
After this arc is Whiskey Peak. This arc doesn’t exactly have the most recognizable
antagonists as it’s a
fairly early part with characters who are apart of a sort important
organization, but not really in the grand scheme of it all. Regardless, Luffy accidentally beats
Mr. 5 here, but I’m not sure what we’re supposed to consider the big fight. Because the true fight
was Luffy Vs. Zoro, but that didn’t go anywhere. We can go over it though. Zoro Vs. Jotaro, Zoro
usually beats opponents with his immense strength, speed, and sword training, but he doesn’t have
any of the facilities to truly help
defend himself against a character like this. This goes the same
for the next couple of arcs, for the sake of time and getting to the more powerful antagonists.
Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Drum Island, all become a lot shorter. Jotaro is not dealing
with Wapol or the other Baroque Works members. [Arabasta]
Finally! Alabasta! Now here’s the thing, because of Jotaro’s
speed it’ll be easy to work with, but in a scenario where we’re not catching
Crocodile off guard and fighting him as is, thi
s is extremely interesting. Because
in Stardust Crusaders for example, Jotaro can beat a sand user like Iggy and his
stand The Fool, but he’d most likely do that by just beating Iggy directly. I think Logia as
a concept depending on which element you get is extremely powerful depending on the match-ups
you have. Because while I think a stand user like Josuke Higashikata could approach this fairly
easily considering his restoration ability, but Jotaro has brute force and time stop. If
it we
ren’t for time stop, and Jotaro’s speed, this fight goes a lot differently. For example,
let’s say Crocodile and Jotaro are the same speed, and this is the same Jotaro before he achieved
his ability to stop time. Because not only can he make his body sand, he has the ability to
absorb all the moisture out of any object, living or non-living. I understand that Luffy beat
him, I still don’t understand that. But we’ll put that to the side for now. Jotaro beats Crocodile
as is, but there is com
promise to be found, and I think when we get even further with
those other Logia users, it’s very possible that speed and time stop won’t be enough
considering they’re extremely durable anyways. [Jaya]
After Alabasta, we have Jaya and then there’s Bellamy. Bellamy get
hit with a combination of hands and observation Haki. Observation Haki is definitely capable of
telling One Piece characters about normally fast hits so that they’re capable of doing whatever
they need to, like dodging it. But
there’s a certain ballpark of speed that both the characters
have to be in to see something coming I’d say. For example, Luffy having Observation Haki right now
doesn’t mean that he’d be able to protect himself from Jotaro’s hits. Why? Because he’s nowhere
close enough. We see characters in the future arcs like Rob Lucci and how fast he can get,
and the closer that Luffy is to him in aspects of physicality, the closer he is on being able to
perceive and dodge hits that he normally wouldn’t
be able to deal with if he was at the level
he was in somewhere like Jaya here. There’s a lot of nuance with this power system,
so it’s nothing I’d write off completely. [Skypiea]
After Jaya, we’re in Skypiea shooting high and going
straight for Enel. Enel has the Goro Goro no mi, translating to the Rumble Rumble fruit. This fruit
is not a wack league of legends character, it is a Logia devil fruit that allows the user to create,
control, and become lightning at will. Now, Enel at this poi
nt was a large feat considering what
he was capable of, but when it came down to it, Luffy did pretty well with his attack potency
at this time. Luffy and Enel are both around Small City level from other’s scaling, I
haven’t done my own scaling of One Piece, but I’d say it’s possible to get more from
this. In terms of straight stats, this is another Jotaro diff if we’re leaning into his
City Level to Mountain level terms of strength, but we’re running out of One Piece characters that
fit i
nto this mold. So yes, Jotaro is most likely capable of blitzing Enel currently, but equalizing
the speed and or Enel returning in later areas of One Piece could change the entire scope of this
battle. Even against an electricity user in JoJo, Jotaro utilizing his time stop and speed
would be more than enough to clear that character. If Enel was relative in speed, this
would be concerning. Jotaro is fairly smart, but in a battle against Enel and of the same
speed, I think it’s the same case
as against Crocodile where since he doesn’t have Haki he
wouldn’t be able to actually make contact. But, being able to stop time, might be enough for
a lot of these match-ups even if he wasn’t of the same speed. Logia is a powerful mechanic,
but the ability to manipulate time will usually scale above anything thing that Logia has to
offer. TL;DR, Jotaro moves on into the next arc. [Long Ring Long Land]
After Skypiea we’re met with Long Ring Long Land, and this isn’t exactly a fight so
we c
an blow through this fairly easy. With all of Star Platinum’s assets, this cheating scandal gets
cleared up easy and we move on into the next one. [Water 7]
And now finally, we’re in Water 7, comparable attack potency and durability. This
means while Jotaro and Star Platinum are fast, we’re going to have to think about this some
more. The first fight in Water 7 where Luffy gets involved is against Franky. So, what’s
the move here? Well for those unfamiliar, Franky is at least a mechanical go
d amongst
men. After getting hit with a superpowered water train that he built, he took it upon
himself to repair his body with just scraps alone. But where they differ is an issue. Jotaro
essentially has this invisible barrier with the help of Star Platinum. For what ever
trick that Franky has and is capable of, Star Platinum will be able to react to prevent
a bad situation. I think Luffy Vs. Franky worked for the time that it did because Luffy didn’t
have the foresight capable of predict
ing half of what Franky could do. I don’t think Jotaro has
that foresight either, considering how different Franky is. But that’s not the thing that’ll stop
Jotaro here. I think with the combination of Star Platinum’s precision and the fact that Franky’s
back is exposed and not like the rest of his body, that’s probably what would be the deciding
factor. I think a future version of Franky can not only survive, but most likely finish the
job, it’s just that this one, it’s not happening. [Eni
es Lobby]
And now we’re here. Enies Lobby. Now as a franchise, I’d say
that Jotaro got pretty far. I think certain match-ups would work better for Josuke as
he has a more adatable power to work with, but time-stop is definitely doing it’s
job here. Now, everyone, I’d like to introduce you to Rob Lucci. Or so I call him,
Robert Luciano. That’s not his name at all, but I feel like it makes sense. Anyways, here’s
everything he’s capable of at his current state. Rob Lucci, known as "Leopard," s
tands as a
formidable foe with an impressive reputation in the One Piece universe. As a member of
the CP9, one of the most secretive and elite intelligence agencies of the World Government,
Lucci excels in covert operations and is an exceptionally skilled fighter. His capabilities
are immensely enhanced by the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard. This Zoan-type Devil
Fruit grants him the ability to morph into a leopard or a hybrid leopard-human form,
considerably boosting his physical strength
. Lucci is proficient in Rokushiki, an
extraordinary, superhuman martial arts form exclusive to the CP9. This
style encompasses six techniques: In his human guise, Lucci is proficient
in Rokushiki, an extraordinary, superhuman martial arts form exclusive to the
CP9. This style encompasses six techniques: • Soru enables teleportation-like speed, at least
in the context of the verse. It’s a speed buff. • Tekkai fortifies the body to iron-like
density, it’s a good set of defense. • Rankyaku i
s a projectile created by
kicking with high speed and strength. The projectile itself is a sharp compressed blade of wind. It cuts through most.
• Geppo allows users to push themselves off the air itself with superhumanly strong
kicks, allowing them to travel through and remain in midair for an extended period of time.
• Shigan is a close-quarter combat technique, where the user uses their finger to pierce
the target's flesh, at a very high speed. • And Kami-e allows users to relax their body
and make it take on the characteristics of a piece of paper; this grants the user extraordinary
flexibility that allows them to avoid any attacks. Now, even if their durability is similar,
Rob Lucci is legimately built for this, with stamina that’d allow to fight damn near
all day. I’m being hyperbolic, but you have to understand the scope for this. It’s like if Killua
grew up into a leopard man. Jotaro has speed, and time-stop, but even then, I don’t think
that the attacks that he’s curr
ently capable of is going to be enough to truly harm Lucci.
Some people might like to mention to me that Star Platinum is capable of phasing, which I very
much know, trust me. It’s just that in-character, Jotaro has never offensively used this phasing
ability. He hasn’t been able to considering that it’s stand user vs. stand user, but I’m more
inclined to believe that he won’t considering I’ve just never seen him do it. Now, here’s the
thing, since Jotaro can stop time, let’s keep in mind t
hat some of these Rokushiki options.
- Regardless of Soru, he’s not faster. - Tekkai is good, but you can’t
do anything when you’re using it. - Rankyaku is never going to make contact.
- Geppo is good, but I’m not sure what we can do about it.
- Shigan isn’t making contact. - And Kami-e is the worst case scenario,
because this will give Jotaro a keep opportunity to punch right through him.
I’m not sure how to approach this aside from the fact that, these character go neutral
at worst for Jota
ro, or it’s a really close win. I’m skipping Thriller Bark here, I don’t want to go through editing this
and seeing this all again. Low-balled, Jotaro loses, high-balled, Jotaro wins. Ok? Good.
I am not interested in Gecko Moira at all, sorry. [Sabaody Archipelago]
And this is where we lose. I wouldn’t be upset, all the Strawhats
lost here too! And it’s one of my favorite arcs ever because of it. Kuma, Kizaru, either
or, we can go about this however needed. Well, with Kuma, he can guaranteed
send Jotaro
away, effectively ending the fight. Kuma has the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, known as the Paw Paw
fruit. A paramecia-type devil fruit that allows Kuma to repel anything with his paw-hands. This
includes physical objects, air pressure (creating devastating shockwaves), and even abstract
concepts like pain and fatigue. He can send people flying for days and to faraway places
with precision. If Kuma genuinely believes he has to fight Jotaro, I think he’d be able to power
through most hits
. Alongside that, he doesn’t have to try to break through Star Platinum’s defense,
as he can just send shockwaves towards Jotaro and keep him on edge. I haven’t seen anyone address
the possibility of Kuma removing his pain and fatigue and doing something like sending it
towards Jotaro. And not just the whole thing, but even just sections of it. Because he only has
to get one or so in to help himself out as he’s already largely durable. But honestly speaking,
it has to stop here with Kuma or
Borsalino. Neither characters are faster than Jotaro
at this moment, true, but they are now of a strength calibre that Jotaro scaling has
never reached. And I’ve seen what it looks like when you don’t have the attack potency or
durability to match characters in this franchise. It really doesn’t matter what Jotaro can try
to do, because both Kizaru and Kuma can just exist and try to figure out how to attack Jotaro
as he can’t do anything to truly damage them. Adding on for help, Kizaru has
the Pika Pika no
Mi, known as the Glint-Glint fruit. Personally, I would’ve just said Light-Light, but I get the
redundancy. The Pika Pika no Mi allows the user to create, control, and transform into light
at will. He also has great observation haki, which would help him perceive immenient attacks
from Jotaro. And since Star Platinum is Massively faster than light, and Borsalino is faster
than light, the observation haki has a better ballpark to work against someone like Jotaro.
For an ide
a of why this gets unreasonable, Island level, and potential continent
level in this one arc. There’s a reason why the Straw Hats get completely washed
here, they’re not capable of doing it, and I don’t think that time stop and speed
is enough to genuinely win the battle. I think for the most part, if this had
to have been a more adaptable stand, it’s very possible they can get a bit further
past this point. I also feel like Ultimate Kars would do an amazing job within the
franchise, but t
hat’s aside from the point. But thank you all for watching! One Piece is
extremely long, and so is this video probably. Since I don’t see many versus stuff about
One Piece, I’m open to whatever suggestions people have. Hopefully I’ll see you all in the
next one, until then, peace out and godspeed.
