You think we'll meet Averill?

I pray that these comments are ironic

I mean itā€™s stocksounds, so i doubt it

Granted I also want him to come back but entirely so I can steal his drip :pray:

Hi Gay, Iā€™m Bi!

Realistically, if we see Averill heā€™ll probably be near the end of the story; maybe heā€™ll help out with the final boss or something related to it.

Nah, yeah, Iā€™m ironic.

unfortunately no thatā€™ll never happen with the likes of stock

yeah probably, i doubt vetex and tech would willingly ignore such a cool reference, even if averill isnā€™t present even briefly in the storyline

itā€™d be anticlimatic if averill somehow died to an atlantean on his adventures

averill watching as martin uses fire imbued iron leg crash from 3 miles away, instantly incinerating his entire ship and crew (heā€™s next):
Oppenheimer cast: Full list of actors ...

Iā€™m just kinda wondering how he even makes it through the dark sea. I guess he just stays under the deck the whole time? That or dark sea rain or the air in the deeper layers arenā€™t as fatal to curse users as I thought.

Magic seawater is a problem, but not magic rainwater, because this universe makes sense. :nod:

I donā€™t think the rain was ever said to be fatal, people just inferred that because its presumably imbued with magic energy. even if it was they never get more than 50% submerged in the rain so theyā€™d be fine

Well, if the clouds are magic-polluted enough to create Ancient Lightning just by existing, (wait, what is Ancient Lightning Magic even based on?), then Iā€™d assume the rain that drops from those clouds is the same.

On a side note, I hope that in the future we get other Dark Sea lightning variants, like Blaze.

well I know you have to be at LEAST 50% submerged to detonate from seawater, and rain isnā€™t gonna do that

no to both of these
i am completely unironic about finding averill hot not sorry guys

The rain gives you water poisoning and everything is the it is in the dark sea cause of magic pollution itā€™s likely that is too. Also not sure where the 50% submerged thing is coming from cause Iā€™ve never heard that, just that the magic energy in the water harms them and obviously the more of it the more damage it does. If that stated somewhere please tell me where. Iā€™d figure magic imbued rainwater hitting for long enough would be a decently large problem for curse users especially if itā€™s already a problem for non-curse users. Then again if either youā€™re right, or curse users have just a higher tolerance than I had believed and can handle being in the rain a bit longer than I thought then I suppose itā€™s a problem.

I guess itā€™s just not an instant problem and if need be he could again just go below deck or wash himself off using the presumably more clean water found in a bath like we have on the brig.

im pretty sure something about the threshold for what kills a curse user was said at one point

alright gimme a bit

found what I was thinking of, but this is him talking about devil fruit users in one piece instead of curse users. I might have just seen this out of context, but considering how one piece inspired sea curse users are I think its a semi-decent basis to go off of

Yeah even before you brought this up I had figured that you were mixing up one piece lore with AO lore, though thereā€™s definitely a degree of separation here. I dunno if Iā€™d take that as exactly how it works though. Although sea curses very obviously take inspiration from devil fruits the way they are take damage from water is very different. I think itā€™s more just about the amount of magic energy that theyā€™re coming into contact with. Obviously you get this effect best the more submerged they are in ocean water, but enough magic imbued rain should be able to do them in if theyā€™re subject to it for long enough.

alright but at the same time theres nothing stopping averill from just having a roof over his head still

I mean, theyā€™re basically the same thing:
World comprised of mostly sea with islands dotted about? Check.
Objects that grant people unique powers at the cost of losing their ability to swim and only one person can have it at a time? Check.
Unique material that exists to counteract a small portion of people? Check.
Existence of other sentient and humanoid races throughout the seas? Check.

Hell, we even got people who could utilize their willpower to strengthen their attacks if radius fist is anything to go by
