How does it work? How does it fucking work? On the surface it seems your train hard you become strong, but if you closely it seems everyone has varying caps to their strength. Why was Jinbei leagues ahead of Arlong? Did Arlong really cap out so pitifully weak? Did Luffy become as strong as he is because he worked for it or because he's blessed with grandpa's genetics? It doesn't help that the big names of One Piece were more or less born with their powers, Big Mom, Kaido, Oden. This power system is bullshit.
One Piece's power system has left me cynical

>when you use arlong and jinbe as examples

it's willpower
arlong was strong back when he still had the will and was a sun pirate alongside tiger and jinbe
after he got cucked by the marines he became a pussy bitch who lived in a backwoods town in the weakest sea and did nothing but bully literal useless weak humans
this is seen also by crocodile being a force of nature in the past, but then giving up his dreams after being cucked by whitebeard, losing his willpower, and becoming weak enough that pre timeskip luffy could whoop his ass
btw haki is literally translated as willpower

Haki is he most retarted magic system out their. It's simple. Too simple. In fact it's so simple it takes away any creativity in a fight in favor for more UNGA BUNGA. Seriously better haki just means you hit harder. Take away the visual representation and they would all look like boring punches
Ian Lewis
to expand further on what i said here luffy is as strong as he is because he has an unshakeable belief in himself and his goal, and that he fully believes nothing can stand in the way of him
this is a series where having an unbreakable iron will literally gives you a tangible boost in power
Nolan Foster
he was no where close to his strength back then and his will wasn't completely broken yet Jinbei literally didn't flinch getting hit by arlong
Lincoln Cooper
Why is it that only 1 in a million people get coc haki? That's not fair. That's not fair at all. If haki's will power why can't coc be something you gain? It's called character development. A person's will can't develop hard enough to be worthy of a king? You gotta be born with it? That's bullshit
Alexander Smith
Arlong did not have haki and did not really know fisman karate all that well. If he worked really hard and had talent, he could possibly be as strong as jinbei.
Anyone can find different ways to be strong, but only people with conquerors haki can be the strongest

You can't tell me a lazy fuck, lapdog Kizaru worked for his strength. I imagine there's a physical threshold before you're allowed to be an admiral. How did someone as lazy and apathetic as him have the will power to fucking train to be an admiral

haki is pic related
just believe bro, if you really believe it your fruit it´s going to be a god fruit bro
Jose Brown
if you didn't notice by the relation to vegapunk kizaru is just pretending to be retarded

Arlong got weak after spending several years doing nothing but plowing Nami.

He hit the jackpot with his fruit, same goes for Enel more or less. Give their fruits to someone like Luffy or Zoro and they would wreck shit so hard in OP world it's not even funny.

I think Oda is not considering something as "a limit" to how much people can grow (literally, in height as well). What this entails to, is that if you are determined to always gets stronger and are faced with scaling challenge you will, well, get stronger. Arlong is not pitifully weak, he was probably along the strongest guys in East Blue at that point, but he wouldn't last in the Grand Line. The time he spent under Fisher Tiger was, well, under Fisher Tiger, a guy that was wildly stronger than him. The same as why Nami didn't need to get as strong as Luffy because she was always facing the weaker guys of the island/crew.

Do you agree with this list?

Weirdly it made Rokushiki into a numbers game like Dragonball powerlevels. Then that was ignored for another 6-7 years until Haki and Haki does not really follow it's own rules either.
Haki is inconsistent since it at first had things like haki can enhance things, but then going all black means haki power is super dooper powerful, then Law shit on that concept. Also lots of swordsmen and Doflamingo were not changing color when they used even superior haki than that so now it makes little sense. And CoC Haki can also cover the body like CoA Haki and is only countered by someone else with CoC Haki so it's an even specialer power than the others together.
And on top of that someone can cover their skin with CoA haki, CoC Haki then add in a devilfruit power and be invincible.
So going all black with CoA haki is more of an intermediate power for someone who is good but not one of the best since the best Haki users do not change color, and the best of the best have CoC Haki and that defends against everything everyone has except someone else also having CoC Haki. Until someone has a cartoon character devilfruit and that counters haki which was always said to counter devilfruit...who the hell knows.

I miss things like Rokushiki and Fish Man Karate being more of a cheating the world's already insane cartoon physics than a straight up magic system.
They are not shooting energy or willpower at people, they are somehow taking advantage of the air or water in the atmosphere and throwing that, or hardening muscles up until they are effectively bulletproof, etc. I thought it was more creative in the world having superpowers and martial arts that were really damn good at mimicking superpowers through moron physics and strengthening of the body.
