Enel is top tier

[Future Warrior]

Just look at how much power Zeus can output, and compare that to someone who literally ate the Goro Goro no mi. His power limit is way higher than what Zeus could output with Big Mom. Hell, I think he was about to destroy the entire Sky island with his power.

He's definitely not beating an admiral or a top commander, but I'd honestly say he's still very relevant power wise in the New World.

 

[Diamond Ryan]

He has good attack power, but that doesn't stop him from getting blitzed and one shotted by any competent New World fighter.

 

[SSJ2]

Offensively he is among the best. Defensively he got outsmarted by a guy who had no knowledge of Haki. A New World fighter would be able to beat him easily as Ryan said.

I kinda agree with you but that's an exaggeration. How does someone like say Black Maria, would do anything against Enel? What's the definition of a New World fighter?

 

[SSJ2]

I mean someone who has a developed level of Haki.

 

[Future Warrior]

Unlike with Luffy, Enel can actually damage them.

 

[SSJ2]

How would Haki work against that? For example Jinbe recently coated his entire body in Busoshoku. Would that significantly reduce the effects of the lightning at his level?

They might be able to fully negate it with Full body CoA, but not everyone can do that I think.

 

[SSJ2]

How do you think Enel's power would be used if he had Busoshoku? Do you think his devil fruit abilities would increase in power?

 

[Future Warrior]

Maybe not his devil fruit, but I think it will boost his defense greatly since he has weak durability. Maybe as strong as Marco and King.

Would like to add that Pre-TS Luffy didn't get 1-shotted by admirals, so it's not like Enel would just die from getting punched once.

 

[SSJ2]

I've always found that strange with logias. So essentially the Enel we saw cannot become any stronger? That doesn't seem right.

I think it's because the object you're armoring needs to be tangible. Electricity and Fire aren't tangible, but Ice and Magma are.

 

[Pocket-God]

Iirc Oda said that if Enel was a pirate he'd have a bounty of 500 million so take that as you will.

 

[Symbiote]

Enels a lot stronger than everyone thinks. He only lost to Luffy because his fruits a hard counter to his. Like Crocodile he was introduced too early.

That's what I like One Piece. It's not a cut and dry escalation where each villain encountered is stronger than the last. Hell, the very top of the top has been shown since East Blue arc (Shanks, Mihawk).

Don't forget the Lord of the Coast, who bit off Shanks' arm
