I'm planning on taking an illustration diploma from the sunway branch and I'm coming from the UAE, I saw their student work showcases and the skill levels but what freaked me out is how much people are talking about how BAD the uni is when it comes to your sanity. Apparently alot of people drop out from there.

I've been an artist for 5 years and have a basic grasp, so looking to further my skills I don't know if this is the right move.

I'm rewatching and I'm at impel down, specifically at the part where luffy confronts blackbeard. We see that he draws him in in gear 2nd, gear 2nd steam and glisten cancels out and he slams him, then once he backs away, gear 2nd comes back.

From my understanding, black beard cancels out devil fruit powers, but seastone and the sea just weaken the user, because back in arlong park, luffy remained stretched above water while they freed his feet.

If blackbeard nullifies devilfruits entirely, even ones that change the PHYSICAL composition of the user (luffy being rubber) shouldn't he have exploded at the spot from using gear 2? The only way that buff works is by pumping blood insanely fast, him being rubber keeps him from just dying. But if blackbeard's fruit doesn't change his makeup, then he shouldn't have bled when he got slammed onto the ground, he's still RUBBER.

Either blood is just supposed to be shown thematically to emphasise damage or he actually bled. I've had the same issue with haki being used on luffy. Back at the end of enies lobby, garp visits and rips him a new one and everyone comments how it shouldn't have gotten hurt, he's RUBBER. Dull attacks should never hurt luffy, is this a plot hole? Moria made the shadowbox and fucking pummelled him down, he was fine, I feel like that's the best example I could have to luffy not taking damage from dull attacks.

Like say katakuri made an ocean of mochi and coated it with haki and you have luffy have the same thing he got going in arlong park where his feet are trapped and his head is above water, either A, he stops stretching and literally rips in half or B, he stays the same. If it's B then no dull attack should WORK.

Thoughts?
