but the thing is if youre most powerful moves are nulled
whats the point of knowing ahead of time?
and enel using his abilities other ways to attack is obviously not using his power to its full potential
ill just ask you this
if luffy wasnt immune to lightning or didnt have any resistance to lightning
would he have won?
That would be impossible. He wouldn't be able to touch him. lol. I do believe though it wasn't just the one thing that allowed him to win. If you took away all of Luffy's battle experience and say Enel was the first person he fought after leaving on his 17th birthday he would have lost.
But I also agree with the fact that Enel was stronger than Luffy WHEN they fought. The reason I say this is because of the advantage Luffy was given. In every other battle Luffy is usually in a huge disadvantage. ex. Crocodile in a dessert, Lucci in a huge military base, Moria when Moria has already taken his shadow. Luffy only gets advantages (usually) when he just can't win. (Nightmare Luffy was one of those). I believe right now (after time skip Luffy) Luffy is stronger than Enel even if he wasn't immune to his fruit. If Enel spent time on the Blue seas he would be a lot stronger than he was. But he is caved up away from society on the moon lol.
(I get mixed up between dessert and desert. Did i guess right and actually put the one that means the land of sand? Lol)
However, I do like the idea of Oda giving Luffy advantages when he is weaker than the opponent. At least we don't get the Fairy Tail scenario:
Luffy is losing horribly
He looks over to a crying nakama
Through the power of friendship Luffy gets a huge power boost!!!
lol
