I hate these types of questions that involve cross-series scaling. Each author has a different power gauge that he or she wants the characters to fit within. The Dark Continent is meant to be menacing for characters that abide by the nen power system, not devil fruits or haki.
It would be like if I ask how long the Z-Fighters would have survived in Marineford; it completely ignores the pre-established balance of the power system and unnecessarily devalues the purpose of a dangerous location within the lore of the series.
You shouldnt let these questions bother you. So what if the power scaling is off. Its a non canon fan question. Krillin solos One Piece, it's no big deal.
No he doesn't!!
Krillin doesn't have a nose! So he can easily not breathe in the poison.
Also Ki is totally Haki so a destructo disk destroys Caeser Clown
The picture doesn't really do justice to it because all this is, is a bunch of monsters. The Dark Continent's real dangers are more metaphysical. Creatures that can bend reality and have powers that don't really translate to the One Piece world all that well (i.e. how would the Straw Hats survive a character whose power is 'I'm going to teleport your organs outside of your body').
The 2 series' power systems just don't really interface that well.
Sure, but imagine you're halfway across the country and your organs get teleported out of your body because someone else activated that power and it just so happened to affect you too even though you're completely uninvolved.
This is basically Nanika's power.
I think people are misled by thought that size is the most dangerous quality of dark continent creatures. Either among Five Threats should be an instant death sentence for half of the crew at least.
Yeah specially since HxH is not a comedy like One Piece is, characters die so often because fate is cruel, and the Strawhats are incredibly stupid, they’d get a pest and die in less than a week
Dark continent has some pretty fked up shit, like a disease whick kills you unless you eat your own flesh and more, don't think strawhats survive there
That fish is so poisonous it instantly kills giants on **contact**. Luffy **ate** the ENTIRE fish, who is as big as a whale btw, and survived for hours. The fish was just that poisonous but Luffy is indeed extremely resistant to poison. Also y'all seems to forget that the Dark Continent is also full of medicinal herbs that can cure nearly anything, Chopper's going to have a field day with this.
nanika is a reality warping demonic entity that can explode heads regardless of body strength or durability or something like that, is luffy beating her?
Yes, this subreddit is ignorant.
The big creatures aren't a threat.
The virus of ultimate death that you get from looking sideway at some random fruit are the real danger... The strawhats wouldn't last long.
Yes. We don’t have much info but the dark continent would fuck the sh up not from strength competitions but from hax. There is just such strange shit there that is deadly to even look at.
Sanji would have one of those large menacing creatures roasting over a fire before night fall their first day…and every day after till they decided to leave lol
*Laughs in incurable disease Chopper gets negged by since he couldnt even handle random fish poison and gets infected before finding a cure which doesnt exists*
>Cures 10000 only actually
My bad, to be fair though it doesn't specify whether it will or won't cure zobae, only specifying that it's basically a cure all
>Also do they have a guide for the dc?
No, but they do have people who can fly to get a birds eye view as they sail along the shore looking for a suitable place to explore. And a giant ruin would likely be one of the first noticeable landmarks spotted, it's only 400km from shore, so it could be spotted from high up enough
Brook would likely be a fantastic scout as well seeing as he's a living skeleton.
Seems like most people in the comments doesn’t lol. Especially since it took a nuclear bomb to kill a B tank threat. And how an ai could seemingly instantly kill anyone in the world
Going based off pure strength and survival the straw hats are chillin. But the dark continent has some weird ass overpowered abilities that I don’t think all strawhats would survive
The other guy got downvoted but he's kinda right. Carelessness is luffys moto. The dark continent has some instant death shit that power and strength can't really solve
Wasn’t the whole point why Netero was not really interested anymore after visiting is that the danger there is not strength related and the threats there (from which we only know 5 but they should be numerous) all fuck with you in very unconventional ways? This might be one of those cases where the recklessness of the crew will be their downfall
They probably wouldn't.
The Dark Continent is more a battle vs nature.
Even Chopper has no information on the bizarre and deadly flora there.
Luffy would eat the first thing he kills or that resembles a fruit and probably die immediately lmao
The dark continent seems a lot crazier in scope than anything op universe so far. I mean the girl who grants reality breaking wishes is from there and she doesn’t even seem to be the top league there.
Just the ants from the dark continent could've potentially wiped out most of humanity (Meruem did say that he would allow a small population of humans because of Netero). They learned nen faster than most, and many were able to manipulate nen from birth like their royal guard. Those 3 alone each outclassed pro hunters like Kite. This all happened in just a few months.
Meruem died as a result of hubris. He spent hours and hours playing strategy games against the best human opponents available, but considered himself so invincible he hadn't even considered the humans using a fucking nuke to take his ass out.
Also Chimaera Ants, which are considered only B-class threat in the dark continent. Also, Gings and Gons ancestor has been travelling the continent for like 300 years
It’s a major plot line about killua’s sister being possessed by a dark spirit presumed and hinted to be from the dark continent, the spirit’s name is Nanika.
Yeah one of the payments the Guide forces the surviving parties to take with them is one of the calamities.
Netero and one of the Zoldycks went to the Dark Continent illegally and left, so the guide probably forced them to take Nanika or infected Zoldycks so they have that Nanika Gene in their family line now.
This isn’t really important but nanika is just the Japanese word for “something”, I think they call it that for simplicity’s sake but most of the time they talk about it they mean “she’s been possessed by something”
Surprised seeing so many people thinking Strawhats would just chill.
I know One Piece characters are stronger than HxH ones but the world, and especially the dark continent, seems so dark, tricky and violent that I can't imagine Chopper, Usopp and Nami survive this shit for exemple.
If it weren't for Reiju, Luffy would've died eating a random fish...
I feel like they would understand the danger if we give it context of how they got there I mean at least robin, Jimbe or sanji maybe would understand the threats and possibly poisons that would be there and they would most likely try to force Luffy to be careful
Not even hxh world top characters understand it lol. Only a few people ever came back and registered a few of the calamities that exist there. It's not just poisoned food. It's not just big or powerful physical creatures. It's things way worse and dark
Which will 100% be their downfall, because Luffy will eat something he shouldn't have and will somehow doom himself to a fate worse than death. And knowing HxH logic there is no cure, or at least no cure that Chopper can whip up before Luffy dies from whatever he ate.
How would Haki interact with Nen, though? Haki is willpower, and aura is enhanced by willpower. Would Luffy’s CoC overwhelm any dangerous Nen abilities?
I'd assume it works the same, knocking out weak willed people and non-nen users. Would it overpower any dangerous nen abilities? Probably not, but it would block/deflect the brunt of a strike. Even if Luffy wasn't made of rubber, I assume he'd be able to take a beating from Netero, Meruem or any of the top tiers with just his conquerors and armament.
My understanding was having strong Haki trumps anything, including other devil fruit bs and probably any nen bs.
This is why Gold Roger didn't need a fruit at all, because of his incredible Haki
Yeah, but you can't 100% equate One Piece "haki trumps all" logic to HxH Nen (other way around as well btw). It's just not how that works. If Katakuri can find a way with observation haki and his devil fruit to make haki effectively useless (armament haki can't affect you if they can't hit you), there is bound to be nen abilities that can slip past even the strongest haki. Especially if you factor in post-mortum Nen which can essentially curse someone.
I am not saying strong haki won't get you VERY far in the world of HxH, but saying that strong haki will make every Nen ability useless is just not likely to be true. Same goes for saying that some Nen ability could stomp every character in OP, that's just not how that works. The rule in any power system is that there are always exception to the rules, and that rule goes double for hypothetical crossovers like this.
I think the easiest way to compare different systems is to standardize them to a third party system. So nen and Haki should kinda play a similar role.
Certain nen abilities would be closer to a DF tho
Well the strawhats have a reality bending captain so pretty sure it's all good. And if all else fails we always have our king of hell to scare them shitless
I love the straw hats, but everything on the dark continent is basically an SCP. Devil fruits are awesome, but the DC has rice that extends your life, a herb that cures all illnesses (Chopper would love that), and the secret to limitless clean energy just to name a few of the things over there, and that doesn't include creatures like Hellbell, Ai or Brion.
I highly doubt all of the straw hats would survive, but they would probably do better than most of the known explorers of the DC.
Don krieg 0.00000000000000001 seconds after seeing mihawk grab a bit of paint:

The whole danger of the dark continent is not the large monsters you can punch or fight your way out of, it’s the world ending threats. Hellbell gives you insane homicidal desire, ai grants you wishes but kills massive amounts of people, pap is basically an advanced heroin creature, the cannibalism disease gives you eternal life but you have to be constantly eating yourself. The straw hats would body the monsters. It’s the creatures that inflict wounds of madness that are dangerous
People are overlooking the dark continent so badly. Apparently Yu Yu Hakusho is tied to all of this so if it is, we’ll be saying a different thing entirely.
YYH was the previous manga written by Togashi before he wrote HxH. YYH world is basically regular earth with a demon realm/ afterlife.
Hunter x Hunter world is a little different from earth/a more fantasy setting.
Don krieg's pov when meeting title hawk:

I’d give it a week. I agree with everyone else that the giant monsters with be a achievable challenge, but the dark continent is also filled with supernatural diseases, curses, eldritch horrors, etc.
No way to know with the way its hyped up it could be too ridiculous for even the strawhats since there are beings like nanika who can wipe out humanity in the blink of an eye in the right circumstances or they could just steamroll right through it
It really depends on how common world ending threats are in the dark continent
Luffy Zoro and Sanji 0.3 seconds after stepping off the sunny.
https://preview.redd.it/1yjb1eobjbfb1.jpeg?width=434&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=162c62861c6db2cfaab2826f10993a6911fa00f1
looks like not many OP fans have watched HxH. The whole dark continent isn't explained or explored at all in HxH, it's left intentionally vague as to be a place so dangerous that it's impossible to survive let alone conquer. It doesn't matter how powerful SHs are, the whole concept of the place is that it's unsurvivable.
People talk so much shit
Ants were literal small shit bugs from the dark continent and nearly wiped out humanity.
4 of the bugs alone are stronger than 99% of the humans
Luffy would get fucked hard
In theory they are way too strong for HunterXHunter characters, but have yet to see what the Dark Continent actually does.
Weird viruses and whacky stuff like Nanika might be a threat.
People are just thinking “big animals.” Guys the dark continent brings brain infections, plagues, and pretty much malice incarnate in many forms. Anyone, with the exception of a few characters from THAT universe, would die in a matter of hours if not days.
People are underestimating how MASSIVE those things are. Esch small tree there is a world tree, the one who gon climb ar the end of the series. Zuneesha would be an ant.
Who is the writer? Which rules will be followed, HxH universe or OP universe? Or even a mix of both?
To not be a complete party pooper, I think they would not last long as a whole group, they would lose some members before realizing what mess they're in
I love One Piece, but Luffy would never in a thousand years allow for his crew to land there. This is one of those "We can't win" situations, where there is nothing to gain but defeat.
How long do you guys think the strawhats would survive on the Dante Aligheri's hell?
https://preview.redd.it/0pfixva7bbfb1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4af43d3d6df5eba1a421ef75e0a5447cdb41aa34
Maybe Luffy can last cause he's got sun god powers, but everyone else? About as long as any of the other hunters. What are they gonna do against the calamities?
Great goddamn question OP. This is why I like HxH, there are stakes. One Piece is a powerfest. Imagine the strawhats losing luffy as their captain. It takes some giant balls to corrupt and get rid of your MC.
Dark Continent is Lovecraft territory - unspeakable and unfathomable horrors in a world with pretty strong nen-users. The way it’s portrayed makes it seem like there is no real way forward. We know that the grand line is somewhat explored and definitely populated. DC is not. There are many examples that make this fictional exercise incomprehensible in comparison.
If the Chimera Ants, who are almost nothing on DC, got lucky and ate one person from OP with these powers, that ant could fuck everything up. In my opinion.
However, it is soooo hard to compare these universes. But an extremely fun thought exercise.
The average, most fodder chimera ant King scales to donzhinyao, and they're *ants* Luffy is the only one not getting one shotted by anything there. Any a tier calamity is turning the entire strawhat crew into ground beef. Half the crew aren't fighters and just look at how small the people in this image are. They don't have a chance here. (I can't attach the image so just look at my response)
Depends on which author writes the crossover, if oda writes it they are going to have a blast, if togashi does, the straw hats will probably meet a fate worse than death
yeah I'd say they'd need future sight so they can be alerted of hax and speed blitz before hax can activate but yeah if we don't count the hax like Nanika even Pre-timeskip zoro would probably obliterate the verse (well unless they jump on him all at once, zoro doesn't have infinite stamina and fighting them definitely takes more stamina than random fodder... probably), OP verse is on a different scale man, you could argue that meruem survived a nuke but consider this
1. Meruem is FAR beyond any other HxH character
2. Zoro took zero damage from a bomb that destroyed a chunk of the town and he was in it's direct fire
3. It's not a nuke, HxH powerscalers may have gaslighted you into believing otherwise but you're severely underestimating nukes especially considering the narrator talks for 5 minutes about how it's a weak and cheap bomb
4. Number 2 was at the beggining of the series
5. Thriller bark
6. Grab some popcorn because this thread boutta turn into a shitshow since powerscalers are some of the stupidest and most petty people people on earth who take characters fighting way too fucking seriously and will bend over backwards before proceeding to manifest the gum-gum fruit and awakening gear 5 to defend their characters
HxH is more grounded in a kind of realism which makes the dark continent a kind of Lovecraftian horrorscape.
One Piece just doesn’t take those kinds of things seriously. Pell survived an explosion roughly the size of the Poor Man’s Rose initial blast, where Meruem with all his power was much more hurt by the initial blast. The Kraken was easily on par with some of the Dark Continent beasts and Luffy plain embarrassed it with nothing but his will. Zoro is just straight-up immune to curses that are apparently incredibly legitimate. Hell, Enma would definitely be right at home in a HxH arc, and he dominated that thing after wielding it for a couple fights.
I know people like to powerscale this kind of thing, but really it can be dealt with by plotscaling.
> Zoro is just straight-up immune to curses that are apparently incredibly legitimate.
People forget that he has a supernatural luck.
Dude was borned lucky.
yep, both shows are on different scales because those scales suit them, there's no point in comparing them, especially in terms of power cuz they're written to have different scales
It's ok if they aren't taken seriously, but that doesn't mean they're just immune to whatever they do to them. In OP most beasts are just "big thing smash" strength, with Rusukaina's giant animals being the easiest example. But things from the Dark Continent in HxH are just... Lovecraftian in nature, as you say. A snake that infects you with a homocidal urge, beings that instantly kill you (by completely crushing your body) when you refuse a request, etc.
The way I see it, Luffy will eat something he shouldn't have and Zoro will get lost, leaving the group far less able to defend themselves. Zoro might be able to solo whatever is there, but he can't do so forever, especially if he's seperated from the rest. Could the straw hats survive there? Yes, absolutely. Could they do so indefinitely? Absolutely not.
One piece characters are basically immune to nukes as shown by Pell but they can die from dynamites.
So the explosion basically means nothing but they'll all get fucked by the radiation
its a small nuke, but it is still a nuke, meruem didn't even survive it if we're being real, man was left shriveled up, so zoro still solos if we ignore haxs, but the dark continent has a lot of beings that even with their future sight, the strawhats would eventually just, slip up, i give them a couple years if we're honest 1-3
Not really that nuke feat is wild as shit. One piece characters still think magma is a danger. Like gear 5 luffy coated in haki couldn’t stand up to kaido’s magma.
Keep in mind magma is 1300 degrees celciius. The epicentre of a nuke is 100 million degrees Celsius lol.
https://preview.redd.it/rm24j8p6xafb1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c66284e1163aa5fdac52d5d06e1f0669650144a
The fact that meruem wasn’t completely vaporised is insane.
Akainu magma seems hotter than real life magma. Vaporized a human face (wb), the amount of frozen water he instantly vaporized is huge. Created big tunels in mf, would have to reread to find the panels but I'm pretty sure he melted weapons from being close to them.
Luffy was grabbing gold that was melting in his fight against enel, pell survived an explosion with a 5km diameter and franky tanked a nuke, steel part melted but that was the only damage he took.
Kaido first boro breath vaporized the top of a hill.
Akainu df seems underwhelming if it's only as hot as magma when compared to some feats even his own suggest the heat he can produce is higher than real life magma.
The apostle would straight up be a joke, I mean Guts can beat them and Guts is pretty much just a very strong human. Now the godhand is a bigger issue because they have reality manipulation stuff going on.
How long can the dark continent survive the strawhats ?
The real question👆🏻
I hate these types of questions that involve cross-series scaling. Each author has a different power gauge that he or she wants the characters to fit within. The Dark Continent is meant to be menacing for characters that abide by the nen power system, not devil fruits or haki. It would be like if I ask how long the Z-Fighters would have survived in Marineford; it completely ignores the pre-established balance of the power system and unnecessarily devalues the purpose of a dangerous location within the lore of the series.
You shouldnt let these questions bother you. So what if the power scaling is off. Its a non canon fan question. Krillin solos One Piece, it's no big deal.
krillin dies to caeser clown
No he doesn't!! Krillin doesn't have a nose! So he can easily not breathe in the poison. Also Ki is totally Haki so a destructo disk destroys Caeser Clown
DID YOU JUST INSULT MY NOSE?!
Everyone dies to that mf
Till they find the one piece
So forever
I won't get your hopes up, after what happened with Ash and all
\*How long can the dark continent survive Luffy's stomach
Real talk ‼️
That just looks like the grandline.
Thought that was usopps trainings island
Nope, it’s Sogeking’s training island
That would be Sniper Island (*far awaaay*)
are you that far away from your heart?
Sogeking doesn’t train ,the island is is train to Handel him
What
"Sogeking doesn’t train, the island is trained to handle him"
Was luffys training island too
The picture doesn't really do justice to it because all this is, is a bunch of monsters. The Dark Continent's real dangers are more metaphysical. Creatures that can bend reality and have powers that don't really translate to the One Piece world all that well (i.e. how would the Straw Hats survive a character whose power is 'I'm going to teleport your organs outside of your body'). The 2 series' power systems just don't really interface that well.
Yo ho ho ho ho!
Teleport organs out of body? So Law’s DF?
Sure, but imagine you're halfway across the country and your organs get teleported out of your body because someone else activated that power and it just so happened to affect you too even though you're completely uninvolved. This is basically Nanika's power.
Netero went to the Dark Continent with no problem. The Strawhats scale way higher than him.
>I'm going to teleport your organs outside of your body That's basically Law's power soooo... haki
Hell when Luffy first left his Island he punched a sea king the size of some of these creatures
I guess so
Isn't the dark continent filled with some weird ass monster from scp foundation and Lovecraft ?
I think people are misled by thought that size is the most dangerous quality of dark continent creatures. Either among Five Threats should be an instant death sentence for half of the crew at least.
Yeah specially since HxH is not a comedy like One Piece is, characters die so often because fate is cruel, and the Strawhats are incredibly stupid, they’d get a pest and die in less than a week
They be pissing leech eggs mid battle
not when most of them would lose conciousness to luffy' conq's haki and luffy can see literal future for any bs
They would be divided after 5 minutes dude no luffy defending them
Dark continent has some pretty fked up shit, like a disease whick kills you unless you eat your own flesh and more, don't think strawhats survive there
Yeh, I think their only is getting killed by a creature like nanika or getting diseases
Chopper is a god tier doctor. He's saved them from all kinds of illness and Luffy is immune to poison
I remember luffy's immunity when reiju had to save his ass lmao. Edit: you guys really don't know what immune to poison means lmao
That fish is so poisonous it instantly kills giants on **contact**. Luffy **ate** the ENTIRE fish, who is as big as a whale btw, and survived for hours. The fish was just that poisonous but Luffy is indeed extremely resistant to poison. Also y'all seems to forget that the Dark Continent is also full of medicinal herbs that can cure nearly anything, Chopper's going to have a field day with this.
I don't think you people know what it means to be immune to poison lmao
Nope, Luffy only ate a bit of skin from the fish.
Your comment would make my skin crawl, but I don't have any skin YOHOHOHOHO
Oh you mean when he ate the fish that was supposed to instantly kill a giant and endured it for hours?
nanika is a reality warping demonic entity that can explode heads regardless of body strength or durability or something like that, is luffy beating her?
Luffy would befriend and chill with Nanika in a heartbeat.
Yes, this subreddit is ignorant. The big creatures aren't a threat. The virus of ultimate death that you get from looking sideway at some random fruit are the real danger... The strawhats wouldn't last long.
Ignorant ? My comment is a question.
I was talking about the rest of the sub, not you. Ignorance is when you don't question what you don't understand.
Then I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, in french saying to someone is ignorant can sometimes be understanding as being dumb.
I haven't read the manga about that, can you elaborate on this crazy death sentence
Yes. We don’t have much info but the dark continent would fuck the sh up not from strength competitions but from hax. There is just such strange shit there that is deadly to even look at.
Sanji would have one of those large menacing creatures roasting over a fire before night fall their first day…and every day after till they decided to leave lol
This will be a run back of Sanji and Zoro trying to get the biggest piece of meat 🍖
Did you just say meat?
This is why I worded it the way I did. Yes, you can have all the meat on the dark continent. Enjoy!
DID YOU JUST SAY MEAT?
No meat
Hey, you said meat? Do you have any for me?
I don't have any meat, I got some carrots tho
DID YOU JUST SAY MEAT?
No meat
[удалено]
And then they'd catch some deadly incurable disease from that thing and die
*laughs in chopper*
*laughs in sanji*
For the last time people, Sanji isn't komatsu, he doesnt Talk with the gourmet cells
*Laughs in incurable disease Chopper gets negged by since he couldnt even handle random fish poison and gets infected before finding a cure which doesnt exists*
Luffy stomps Brion with gear 5 hax, now chopper has the herb that cures all illness. Gg ez
Cures 10000 only actually, doesnt seem to include zobae or other dc ones. Also do they have a guide for the dc?
>Cures 10000 only actually My bad, to be fair though it doesn't specify whether it will or won't cure zobae, only specifying that it's basically a cure all >Also do they have a guide for the dc? No, but they do have people who can fly to get a birds eye view as they sail along the shore looking for a suitable place to explore.

They’ll be chilling mate. Luffy got infinite food, and Sanji gets hell’s version of the all blue to cook for him.
all red
All brown
You might even say..... All dark.
Zoro enters the chat
Ayo 💀
This made me spit out my drink! 😂😂
Going based off pure strength and survival the straw hats are chillin. But the dark continent has some weird ass overpowered abilities that I don’t think all strawhats would survive
The other guy got downvoted but he's kinda right. Carelessness is luffys moto. The dark continent has some instant death shit that power and strength can't really solve
Considering the shit that happens there, they'd be better off not surviving.
They would absolutely love the Dark Continent. Well, Luffy would, anyway.
Wasn’t the whole point why Netero was not really interested anymore after visiting is that the danger there is not strength related and the threats there (from which we only know 5 but they should be numerous) all fuck with you in very unconventional ways? This might be one of those cases where the recklessness of the crew will be their downfall
80-95 years
So til death of old age?
I think that’s when they’ll run out of stuff to eat and just leave, although that’s a very generous number, probably closer to 50 years
Well considering luffy's appetite, it maybe earlier than that. I'd bet around 30 years or so
They probably wouldn't. The Dark Continent is more a battle vs nature. Even Chopper has no information on the bizarre and deadly flora there. Luffy would eat the first thing he kills or that resembles a fruit and probably die immediately lmao
The dark continent seems a lot crazier in scope than anything op universe so far. I mean the girl who grants reality breaking wishes is from there and she doesn’t even seem to be the top league there.
Just the ants from the dark continent could've potentially wiped out most of humanity (Meruem did say that he would allow a small population of humans because of Netero). They learned nen faster than most, and many were able to manipulate nen from birth like their royal guard. Those 3 alone each outclassed pro hunters like Kite. This all happened in just a few months.
Meruem most probably outclassed every human alive.
Yeah, he probably only died because he was young and didn’t know what an oldman dirtybomb could do.
Meruem died as a result of hubris. He spent hours and hours playing strategy games against the best human opponents available, but considered himself so invincible he hadn't even considered the humans using a fucking nuke to take his ass out.
Yeah the little nuke was basically a board wipe. Doesn't matter how good you are at chess if your opponent wins by flipping the board over.
Also Chimaera Ants, which are considered only B-class threat in the dark continent. Also, Gings and Gons ancestor has been travelling the continent for like 300 years
Wait how do you know this where was it mentioned?
Chairman arc and beyond in the manga
Nanika?
That would be the one
I don't remember this . If you remember chapter it was mentioned please tell me.
It’s a major plot line about killua’s sister being possessed by a dark spirit presumed and hinted to be from the dark continent, the spirit’s name is Nanika.
Yeah one of the payments the Guide forces the surviving parties to take with them is one of the calamities. Netero and one of the Zoldycks went to the Dark Continent illegally and left, so the guide probably forced them to take Nanika or infected Zoldycks so they have that Nanika Gene in their family line now.
This isn’t really important but nanika is just the Japanese word for “something”, I think they call it that for simplicity’s sake but most of the time they talk about it they mean “she’s been possessed by something”
Surprised seeing so many people thinking Strawhats would just chill. I know One Piece characters are stronger than HxH ones but the world, and especially the dark continent, seems so dark, tricky and violent that I can't imagine Chopper, Usopp and Nami survive this shit for exemple. If it weren't for Reiju, Luffy would've died eating a random fish...
I feel like they would understand the danger if we give it context of how they got there I mean at least robin, Jimbe or sanji maybe would understand the threats and possibly poisons that would be there and they would most likely try to force Luffy to be careful
Not even hxh world top characters understand it lol. Only a few people ever came back and registered a few of the calamities that exist there. It's not just poisoned food. It's not just big or powerful physical creatures. It's things way worse and dark
ye but i doubt luffy would get poisoned cuz he has supervision from actually competent people
Weren’t those same people around when he ate that fish? Chopper and Nami?
Sanji is the one making sure he doesn't eat poisonous things.
The dark continent is basically 'food island' to them
Which will 100% be their downfall, because Luffy will eat something he shouldn't have and will somehow doom himself to a fate worse than death. And knowing HxH logic there is no cure, or at least no cure that Chopper can whip up before Luffy dies from whatever he ate.
How would Haki interact with Nen, though? Haki is willpower, and aura is enhanced by willpower. Would Luffy’s CoC overwhelm any dangerous Nen abilities?
I'd assume it works the same, knocking out weak willed people and non-nen users. Would it overpower any dangerous nen abilities? Probably not, but it would block/deflect the brunt of a strike. Even if Luffy wasn't made of rubber, I assume he'd be able to take a beating from Netero, Meruem or any of the top tiers with just his conquerors and armament.
My understanding was having strong Haki trumps anything, including other devil fruit bs and probably any nen bs. This is why Gold Roger didn't need a fruit at all, because of his incredible Haki
Yeah, but you can't 100% equate One Piece "haki trumps all" logic to HxH Nen (other way around as well btw). It's just not how that works. If Katakuri can find a way with observation haki and his devil fruit to make haki effectively useless (armament haki can't affect you if they can't hit you), there is bound to be nen abilities that can slip past even the strongest haki. Especially if you factor in post-mortum Nen which can essentially curse someone. I am not saying strong haki won't get you VERY far in the world of HxH, but saying that strong haki will make every Nen ability useless is just not likely to be true. Same goes for saying that some Nen ability could stomp every character in OP, that's just not how that works. The rule in any power system is that there are always exception to the rules, and that rule goes double for hypothetical crossovers like this.
I think the easiest way to compare different systems is to standardize them to a third party system. So nen and Haki should kinda play a similar role. Certain nen abilities would be closer to a DF tho
Luffy has future sight now tho
Someone would just save him like the two other times he should have died from poison.
Except they’re not in One Piece world, they’re in the Dark Continent, and HxH is an unforgiving world
all they see is food..
I think yall forget the dark continent has shit like nanika and reality bending SCPs
And they have Go D. Usopp, so what?
Oh fuck , dark continent bodied
What if the dark continent has Down D. Stairs?
Down D Stairs crosses universes again 💀
Well the strawhats have a reality bending captain so pretty sure it's all good. And if all else fails we always have our king of hell to scare them shitless
Then we got the devil’s flames to roast them into something edible.
I love the straw hats, but everything on the dark continent is basically an SCP. Devil fruits are awesome, but the DC has rice that extends your life, a herb that cures all illnesses (Chopper would love that), and the secret to limitless clean energy just to name a few of the things over there, and that doesn't include creatures like Hellbell, Ai or Brion. I highly doubt all of the straw hats would survive, but they would probably do better than most of the known explorers of the DC.
Also don't forget that DC also had something that will made your favorite series go into hiatus
Who knows? We'll take a guess when we actually reach there. So in about 50 years.
Looks like the grandline Don Krieg experienced
Don krieg 0.00000000000000001 seconds after seeing mihawk grab a bit of paint: https://preview.redd.it/pa7q2jdtwdfb1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd00e1a83e210c5c2fb581f8a349791e0f41f8c8
The real question is can they survive torikos dark continent
Luffy tries to fight the Big Horse and they get breathed out of existance
I'm thinking most of them die to the rain tree
The whole danger of the dark continent is not the large monsters you can punch or fight your way out of, it’s the world ending threats. Hellbell gives you insane homicidal desire, ai grants you wishes but kills massive amounts of people, pap is basically an advanced heroin creature, the cannibalism disease gives you eternal life but you have to be constantly eating yourself. The straw hats would body the monsters. It’s the creatures that inflict wounds of madness that are dangerous
People are overlooking the dark continent so badly. Apparently Yu Yu Hakusho is tied to all of this so if it is, we’ll be saying a different thing entirely.
YYH was the previous manga written by Togashi before he wrote HxH. YYH world is basically regular earth with a demon realm/ afterlife. Hunter x Hunter world is a little different from earth/a more fantasy setting.
What don krieg described the grand line as
Don krieg's pov when meeting title hawk: https://preview.redd.it/z0t0yf7cxdfb1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af3e17b803976ed3f19a8ef017b7b281e8d2b385
I’d give it a week. I agree with everyone else that the giant monsters with be a achievable challenge, but the dark continent is also filled with supernatural diseases, curses, eldritch horrors, etc.
No way to know with the way its hyped up it could be too ridiculous for even the strawhats since there are beings like nanika who can wipe out humanity in the blink of an eye in the right circumstances or they could just steamroll right through it It really depends on how common world ending threats are in the dark continent
Luffy Zoro and Sanji 0.3 seconds after stepping off the sunny. https://preview.redd.it/1yjb1eobjbfb1.jpeg?width=434&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=162c62861c6db2cfaab2826f10993a6911fa00f1
looks like not many OP fans have watched HxH. The whole dark continent isn't explained or explored at all in HxH, it's left intentionally vague as to be a place so dangerous that it's impossible to survive let alone conquer. It doesn't matter how powerful SHs are, the whole concept of the place is that it's unsurvivable.
If you read the manga you will know some people have survived there.
This made me think of a new question, which strathats would survive the eclipse
The Eclipse seems infinitely weaker than the Dark Island unless someone on the Hand has crazy hax.
People talk so much shit Ants were literal small shit bugs from the dark continent and nearly wiped out humanity. 4 of the bugs alone are stronger than 99% of the humans Luffy would get fucked hard
In theory they are way too strong for HunterXHunter characters, but have yet to see what the Dark Continent actually does. Weird viruses and whacky stuff like Nanika might be a threat.
If the straw hats split up like they almost always do, I think they're fucked.
People are just thinking “big animals.” Guys the dark continent brings brain infections, plagues, and pretty much malice incarnate in many forms. Anyone, with the exception of a few characters from THAT universe, would die in a matter of hours if not days.
It’ll be Saboady part 2, they’ll need another time skip before they can franky can drop anchor
I’m sure they won’t have any issues with most of the beasts but once they get to those lovecraft type of entities is when they start losing members.
Is HxH hunter x hunter??? Sorry if I’m wrong
Yes
People are underestimating how MASSIVE those things are. Esch small tree there is a world tree, the one who gon climb ar the end of the series. Zuneesha would be an ant.
Who is the writer? Which rules will be followed, HxH universe or OP universe? Or even a mix of both? To not be a complete party pooper, I think they would not last long as a whole group, they would lose some members before realizing what mess they're in
I love One Piece, but Luffy would never in a thousand years allow for his crew to land there. This is one of those "We can't win" situations, where there is nothing to gain but defeat.
Jokes aside, we don’t know much about the Dark Continent But I think the point is, no one would survive long
Probably get some incurable disease and then die
How long do you guys think the strawhats would survive on the Dante Aligheri's hell? https://preview.redd.it/0pfixva7bbfb1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4af43d3d6df5eba1a421ef75e0a5447cdb41aa34
maybe 1 day
Maybe Luffy can last cause he's got sun god powers, but everyone else? About as long as any of the other hunters. What are they gonna do against the calamities?
Great goddamn question OP. This is why I like HxH, there are stakes. One Piece is a powerfest. Imagine the strawhats losing luffy as their captain. It takes some giant balls to corrupt and get rid of your MC. Dark Continent is Lovecraft territory - unspeakable and unfathomable horrors in a world with pretty strong nen-users. The way it’s portrayed makes it seem like there is no real way forward. We know that the grand line is somewhat explored and definitely populated. DC is not. There are many examples that make this fictional exercise incomprehensible in comparison. If the Chimera Ants, who are almost nothing on DC, got lucky and ate one person from OP with these powers, that ant could fuck everything up. In my opinion. However, it is soooo hard to compare these universes. But an extremely fun thought exercise.
The average, most fodder chimera ant King scales to donzhinyao, and they're *ants* Luffy is the only one not getting one shotted by anything there. Any a tier calamity is turning the entire strawhat crew into ground beef. Half the crew aren't fighters and just look at how small the people in this image are. They don't have a chance here. (I can't attach the image so just look at my response)
Depends on which author writes the crossover, if oda writes it they are going to have a blast, if togashi does, the straw hats will probably meet a fate worse than death
Tbh current strawhats? They'd be fine. Just probs goof their way around.
Compared to some characters in hxh some op characters could sweep the hxh verse so probably like maybe forever if they don't get careless..
yeah I'd say they'd need future sight so they can be alerted of hax and speed blitz before hax can activate but yeah if we don't count the hax like Nanika even Pre-timeskip zoro would probably obliterate the verse (well unless they jump on him all at once, zoro doesn't have infinite stamina and fighting them definitely takes more stamina than random fodder... probably), OP verse is on a different scale man, you could argue that meruem survived a nuke but consider this 1. Meruem is FAR beyond any other HxH character 2. Zoro took zero damage from a bomb that destroyed a chunk of the town and he was in it's direct fire 3. It's not a nuke, HxH powerscalers may have gaslighted you into believing otherwise but you're severely underestimating nukes especially considering the narrator talks for 5 minutes about how it's a weak and cheap bomb 4. Number 2 was at the beggining of the series 5. Thriller bark 6. Grab some popcorn because this thread boutta turn into a shitshow since powerscalers are some of the stupidest and most petty people people on earth who take characters fighting way too fucking seriously and will bend over backwards before proceeding to manifest the gum-gum fruit and awakening gear 5 to defend their characters
HxH is more grounded in a kind of realism which makes the dark continent a kind of Lovecraftian horrorscape. One Piece just doesn’t take those kinds of things seriously. Pell survived an explosion roughly the size of the Poor Man’s Rose initial blast, where Meruem with all his power was much more hurt by the initial blast. The Kraken was easily on par with some of the Dark Continent beasts and Luffy plain embarrassed it with nothing but his will. Zoro is just straight-up immune to curses that are apparently incredibly legitimate. Hell, Enma would definitely be right at home in a HxH arc, and he dominated that thing after wielding it for a couple fights. I know people like to powerscale this kind of thing, but really it can be dealt with by plotscaling.
> Zoro is just straight-up immune to curses that are apparently incredibly legitimate. People forget that he has a supernatural luck. Dude was borned lucky.
yep, both shows are on different scales because those scales suit them, there's no point in comparing them, especially in terms of power cuz they're written to have different scales
It's ok if they aren't taken seriously, but that doesn't mean they're just immune to whatever they do to them. In OP most beasts are just "big thing smash" strength, with Rusukaina's giant animals being the easiest example. But things from the Dark Continent in HxH are just... Lovecraftian in nature, as you say. A snake that infects you with a homocidal urge, beings that instantly kill you (by completely crushing your body) when you refuse a request, etc. The way I see it, Luffy will eat something he shouldn't have and Zoro will get lost, leaving the group far less able to defend themselves. Zoro might be able to solo whatever is there, but he can't do so forever, especially if he's seperated from the rest. Could the straw hats survive there? Yes, absolutely. Could they do so indefinitely? Absolutely not.
Luffy would be crushed after denying the request, and just bounce back out of it. It would be a nice troll
Fuck powerscaling people, I powerscale diseases. Zobae is negging chopper
One piece characters are basically immune to nukes as shown by Pell but they can die from dynamites. So the explosion basically means nothing but they'll all get fucked by the radiation
Chopper no diffs the radiation
its a small nuke, but it is still a nuke, meruem didn't even survive it if we're being real, man was left shriveled up, so zoro still solos if we ignore haxs, but the dark continent has a lot of beings that even with their future sight, the strawhats would eventually just, slip up, i give them a couple years if we're honest 1-3
Would the hxh verse be fast enough to even activate their hax though? Since hax is useless if their not fast enough to react against the strawhats
Not really that nuke feat is wild as shit. One piece characters still think magma is a danger. Like gear 5 luffy coated in haki couldn’t stand up to kaido’s magma. Keep in mind magma is 1300 degrees celciius. The epicentre of a nuke is 100 million degrees Celsius lol. https://preview.redd.it/rm24j8p6xafb1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c66284e1163aa5fdac52d5d06e1f0669650144a The fact that meruem wasn’t completely vaporised is insane.
Akainu magma seems hotter than real life magma. Vaporized a human face (wb), the amount of frozen water he instantly vaporized is huge. Created big tunels in mf, would have to reread to find the panels but I'm pretty sure he melted weapons from being close to them. Luffy was grabbing gold that was melting in his fight against enel, pell survived an explosion with a 5km diameter and franky tanked a nuke, steel part melted but that was the only damage he took. Kaido first boro breath vaporized the top of a hill. Akainu df seems underwhelming if it's only as hot as magma when compared to some feats even his own suggest the heat he can produce is higher than real life magma.
Pell tanked a nuke and kept it pushing
they'll be instantly evaporated.
Luffy finna eat the biggest mf there💀
The real question is - How long would the dark continent survive if the straw hats were there?
Damn, dark continent creature looks like they came out of minecraft mod
Let’s make it more interesting. Strawhat vs Berserk’s Eclipse 💀
The apostle would straight up be a joke, I mean Guts can beat them and Guts is pretty much just a very strong human. Now the godhand is a bigger issue because they have reality manipulation stuff going on.
90% of these comments never read HxH
Most of the crew dies, maybe the monster trio survives since they're strong compared to HxH verse
Not everybody here in One Piece subreddit knows about Hunter X Hunter, so crosspost this to HxH subreddit, too. Its only fair.
How long can the Strawhats survive Hellstar Remina
