A recent debate between fans of Naruto and One Piece has ignited over a bold claim from an X user, going by @LabMadeCheese, who suggested that Konan’s ocean-splitting explosive tag attack outshines similar feats in One Piece.

Citing her technique’s destructive power, the fan argued that Konan’s display surpasses any attack in the One Piece series. This opinion has sparked a passionate backlash from One Piece fans, who insist that the power dynamics in their series operate on a grander scale, showcasing feats of environmental control unmatched by Kishimoto's characters.

A Naruto fan going by the name of @LabMadeCheese, in a now-viral tweet, argued that Konan's attack, which parted the ocean, is superior to similar feats displayed by characters in the One Piece universe. The fan stated that Konan's technique, which involved splitting the ocean into countless explosive tags, which was prepared earlier, was powerful, showcasing her immense destructive capabilities.

In response, a One Piece fan noted that the characters who wield the Conqueror's Haki can part the clouds above them with their sheer force, which is an impressive feat as compared to Konan's ocean-splitting attack.

Additionally, some fans pointed out that Whitebeard's Devil Fruit ability to cause a shift in the tectonic plates during the Marineford war and Aokiji's feat of freezing the ocean is evidence that the power dynamics in One Piece universe are on a superior level compared to Kishimoto's series.

One Piece fandom lashes out at the Naruto fan

The fan's claims have not gone unchallenged, as One Piece fans have fiercely defended the power levels of their favorite characters. Many have argued that the feats displayed in One Piece, are far more impressive than Konan's ocean-parting attack.

"Whitebeard tilted the ocean causing tsunamis", a fan said

"Karen didn’t part the ocean. This is a prep time feat. Her paper was the ocean.", a fan corrected

"Lmao conquerors haki alone parted the clouds give it a rest White beard that was shaking the oceans with his fists", said another fan

One Piece fans have pointed out that the power dynamics in their series are fundamentally different from the other series. In One Piece, the characters possess the ability to affect the environment on a much grander scale.

"An attack that took prep time vs kuzan casually flash freezing part of the ocean or chinjao splitting the ice continent or", a fan said

"Dressrosa fodder level feat", a fan remarked

"Well then you need to re read dude and she use prep time to do that top tiers in op can do this casually. Kuzan froze the entire ocean for a week so travelers could get to the next island and he had just woken up", said another fan

The fact that Conqueror's Haki users can part the clouds with their sheer will is seen as a testament to the immense power they wield, rather than a less impressive feat compared to Konan's attack.

Moreover, One Piece fans have argued that the series often showcases characters performing feats that are not necessarily quantifiable in terms of raw destructive power, but rather in their ability to influence their surroundings. The manipulation of tectonic plates or the freezing of the ocean are seen as examples of this, demonstrating the depth and complexity of the power dynamics within the One Piece universe.

Final thoughts

The debate between both fans over the relative power levels of their respective characters is likely to continue, as both fandoms are passionate about defending the strength of their favorite protagonists. While the Naruto fan's claims about Konan's abilities have sparked a lively discussion, the One Piece fandom has pushed back, arguing that the power dynamics in their series are on a different scale altogether.
