Btw, this is exactly right. Sakazuki's lava starves aces flames of the oxygen necessary for fire. Aka, smothers it.



I hope we can all leave this debate behind us now.

you think they lack of oxygen, when they are outside???

LOL.

It's the same concept as dropping a pile of sand on top of a flame.

The sand will smother the fire, removing contact to oxygen.

Look up the various definitions for "smother".

with your theory, does it mean that ace's clothes will keep away o2 ?????

nope, because leather, and cotton are both oxygen permeable


and its not theory, its facts of life

In this cartoon sakazuki can fully become lava (clothes included) and then transform back into a human, forming his clothes once again from the lava.

In reality, the light clothes that ace likes to wear would likely just burn up. Some of what Oda writes has to be science fiction or without explanation because otherwise his characters would be nude whenever they erupted into flame or lava.

But the rest of it is clearly explanable. Nothing what I've told you isn't a fact: Sakazuki's lava reaching higher temperatures than red / orange fire. The highly viscous lava having smothering abilities over fire (smother meaning removing oxygen supply).

These are all middle school level science explanations. I shouldn't even be debating this with you


Right back at ya unfortunately.



This too. We'd have to suppose (for the sake of argument) your devil fruit conveniently assumes your clothing is part of your body thus allows you to transform it at will. This could partially explain Ace's fire having a fresh supply of oxygen. Here's another thought:



ace almost isn't wearing any clothes.

He's shirtless and wears loose, flowing shorts which would allow plenty of air flow.

But this point doesn't matter because we're assuming the devil fruit considers your clothes as part of your body. How else could you turn your whole body into fire or lava and then come back with your clothes fully in tact?

doubt Caribou is that strong

No clue how strong he actually is.

But they've kept him around this long for some reason.

Plus there is something mysterious about him seemingly absorbing the mermaids. Yet he commends how they're somehow still alive?

One thing is for sure we don't know the full extend of his logia yet, and that means anything is sort of possibles still.

he didnt "absorb" them

he can make people sink down into his swamp and make them lose consciousness

my guess is he is using them for slave market trade
