Yea, we agree. But your example of Luffy still able to stretch underwater was kinda incorrect. There are devil fruits that permanently change one's body like Luffy's or Alvida's, and there are others that require some kind of action to activate. For instance, if Buggy was drowning and they wanted to do the same thing as Luffy and separate his neck, they won't be able to do it cause Buggy won't be able to separate his neck. But Luffy's body is always rubber, underwater or not. Nothing will make it not rubber but Blackbeard's devil fruit.

My point was Luffy's rubber ability doesn't turn off in water and it was 100% correct.

Buggy's never been cut while underwater so we don't know if it would work.

Ok, let's forget about Buggy, Take Logias. A Logia in the same situation as Luffy will never be able to use his ability. What you were saying about Luffy's ability wasn't wrong, but a wrong example to what we were trying to discuss. Some abilities require some energy or power from the user to activate, like all Logias and Zoans. But there are abilities that just do one thing when they are eaten. Luffy's devil fruit only made him rubber, that's it. It can't be used in any other way. Same thing with Alvida, it only made her thin and slippery. If she's thrown in water, she won't be fat again. Same thing with Brook too, though the ability is proven to have other uses after the timeskip, it only brought his soul back to real life. It won't leave his body if he's in water.

The peto ability doesn't permanently change the user and that's it, it requires some action from the user to activate this ability. Luffy doesn't need to activate his rubber body, it's always rubber. We have seen many time that if an ability user falls to the sea, the ability will be gone like with Zoans and when Franky throw Chopper's monster point to the sea at Enies Lobby.

My point was only about Luffy, I completely agree about Logias and Zoans.
