Luffy got out of the way of the attacks and planted his legs firmly into the ground. They expanded and then contracted back to normal size. At the same time, steam emanated from Luffy’s body and his coat gained a pink sheen
Luffy: I dont have time to play games! Gear Second!
Discord: Gear wh
Luffy: Jet Pistol! Luffys attack hit Discord before the beast could even finish his question
Discord: Ugh!
I am theorizing on headcanons about One Piece and MLP:
magic is heavily concentrated in Equestria but not so much on the Grand Line
devil fruit users have a level of immunity/resistance to chaos/dark magic
alicorn/unicorn magic does have an effect on humans (hence only animals could find Equestria, but not humans or at least those with a high level of Haki)
given that pinkie pie, Maude pie, applejack, rainbow dash, Fluttershy have some level of Haki skills
gear second compared to Sonic Rainboom, sprint/long distance build-up; Luffy’s gear second works like split-second sprints (after images, side-steps) while rainbow Dash’s Rainboom requires some distance and build-up for her speed.
Weird thing is, these fanfictions ALWAYS have the ponies “acting the stupid” to make the guest characters more powerful.
Seriously, Discord getting punched? He can dodge ENERGY BEAMS, for goodness’ sake!
…sorry for the outburst, but every time they pull Dead Brain Luffy in a story they have the opponents play up to HIS strengths to make him appear invincible, when against an opponent that can use alternatives to direct strength he’d be screwed… It’s kinda like “Hey, Green Lantern! That little stretchy guy is withstanding Superman’s punches! Build a forcefield to contain him!” “Nah, I’ll create a boxing glove and punch him too.” when what would actually happen would be Supes using Luffy’s extendability to tie him in many knots.
Pretty much. I’m not surprised if any of the G4 villains get sucker punched by Luffy in Gear Second mode.
Love the short battle against Discord.
@platypusmac
I think Discord was just got surprise attacked.
Actually, I see this as a Reference to DBZ abridged, you know, the Kaio-What? Joke.
