    You're still making a logical fallacy. "Luffy will absolutely not, never ever, use a good "hint" from Bellamy to defeat someone" does not follow from "Luffy is capable of finding ways to do things on...

    errr... the "that" in my quote was "the possibility that Bartolomeo has a soft, gooey, center and isn't a horrible monster."

    I don't for a second think that he wants to give the fruit to Luffy.

    The problem is that you somehow think it's a logical fallacy for Luffy to do mimicry... just because he's actually capable of a lot more than mimicry. It's not. Displaying "impressive feats" does not...

    I have no idea what's you're talking about at this point. Sounds like semantics. "Gomu Gomu no Wrap-my-arm-around-yours" is a technique if Oda decides it is.

    No, I don't think those words would come off as particularly cool to a Japanese reader. They're just as cool as willpower/ambition/vigor are to an English reader.
