    Default Straw Hats Gauntlet - A New Challenger

    The Straw Hats (pre timeskip) managed to avoid Kuma swiping them individually and get back to their ship. Suddenly, Kuma uses the Paw-Paw fruit and sends all of them to Amazon Lily. They get captured by Boa and are offered a deal. One-on-One matches against Amazon Lily's champion. If they win, they stay together. Otherwise, Kuma sends them all away for training. (KO or Ringout allowed).

    They have a surprise, however. The first contestant is Toph (ATLA). (End of Series). Toph regains full health after each match.

    1. How many Straw-hats can Toph defeat? Who gets to go with Luffy to Marineford?
    2. It's after the training arc and the Straw-hats want a rematch. Does any matchup change?
    3. Current Straw-hats. Toph gets Legend of Korra feats.

    1. Probably Nami. Toph would ignore her illusions and is faster with her earth-bending than Nami is with her weather stuff. Against Robin and Usopp it's a quick draw, whoever lands their blow most likely wins. The monster trio and Brook blitz her. Franky and Chopper can bulldoze through most if not all of her moves.

    2. Nami sets up her weather stuff faster now so she has a better shot and winning. Robin and Usopp absolutely win their quick draw. The rest are just worse.

    3. LoK-era Toph isn't that much more impressive that Atla-era Toph to be honest.

    pretty much what dark said.

    its especially bad for toph with the current strawhat hats. i don't really see her taking out any of them as they are right now.

    Toph can sense slight shifts in movement from expert martial artists, yes. But outside their bending abilities, they really don't have any sort durability beyond regular humans. Earthbenders, are a bit tougher, but not on the level needed for this fight.

    Only changes I would make, are to Usopp and Nami. Usopp is crackshot, but he's not superhuman. Nami may have improved how quickly she releases her weather, but not quick enough to avoid rock spikes shooting out of the ground, literally beneath her feet.

    I feel you're underestimating Ussop and Nami there

    ussop isn't superhuman in terms of strength but his damage soak is. unless she totally immobilizes him, ussop is gonna be a problem.

    Considering what she can do with simple shifts of her feet alone? Not out of the realm of possibility.
