Isaac Netero vs. Whitebeard

[Jcogginsa]

Isaac Netero, the former head of the Hunter's Association, takes on Edward Newgate, the Emperor of the Sea

Bonus: They sit and talk

prrrrrroooobablyyyy... Whitebeard?

Dude is ridiculously durable and brainquake is a pretty potent attack. He also hits harder.

Netero might be faster but mostly because Whitebeard isn't a speed-based guy.

[master of read]

well, newgate is pretty speedy and quick for a guy his size since he was able to get the jump on akainu without him noticing. it's not much but it's something.

but yeah, i'm with nik on this. whitebeard hits hard and can take a hell of a beating so if he gets a good shot on netero, the chairman is going down or at the very least, not gonna be in good shape afterward.

I don't see a talk between them ending very peacefully. Two very different ideologies.

How so? What are the big differences

I don't see Whitebeard getting that hit in. Whitebeard can be fast when he wants to be, but Isaac Netero is explicitly capable of executing a thousand blows in under a minute. That means a thousand hand claps, summoning a building-sized gold Buddha, and landing one of countless combinations upon the target. Whitebeard is tough and strong, but he's not getting an accurate punch in through that barrage. His aim would constantly be thrown off.

Whitebeard does on the other hand have some nasty AoE capabilities that could stun Netero long enough.

anyone remember any good durability feats for Isaac?

Whitebeard doesn't really need to aim though.

Dude can just fire an earthquake in Netero's general direction and HxH are comparatively much squishier than One Piece folk.

Not to mention even while aged and dying Whitebeard was able to take some horrific levels of damage and still keep chugging.

Netero is...kind of a sadistic dick compared to Whitebeard.

I honestly don't see Whitebeard managing to lift an arm in Netero's direction. Netero is not only absurdly faster, but also extremely accurate and perceptive in a fight. Meruem, himself waaay faster than Netero in everything but the latter's prayer motion, was hit 999/1000 times in that one-minute exchange (and that was after Netero had already lost a leg after an extended fight with Meruem). Meruem admitted to himself that if he had never developed his understanding of strategy beyond world-class chess players by losing over and over to the greatest Gungi player in the world, he might never have been able to penetrate Netero's defenses period.

I don't see Whitebeard managing to so much as point a finger at Netero before being slapped down every time.

Now Whitebeard might actually be able to literally spit a quake at Netero, in which case I'd give Whitebeard the win. But he has no feats for that.
