Otherwise, it results in a contradicting continuity with grossly overstated outliers and then it results in established power tiers being completely disheveled and then it would generally not make any sense to put characters of one verse against another if inconsistencies can be accepted.

The pacifista's received modifications that conferred the ability to shoot lasers comprised from Kizaru's devil fruit Pika Pika so it can certainly qualify as light and not as the pressure cannons from the paramecia devil fruit he formerly utilized (or are you saying Kizaru is composed of plasma instead of light?). But then there is the detail about distinguishing between Kizaru's speed in logia form and when he is attacking and quantifying it. Uh I hate it when people try the "it was a trope" excuse. If it is actually lightning then nothing else matters. If I outran a bolt of lightning from a machine that was moving at the speed of lightning (cause its freaking lightning) then it wouldn't be a trope because it is lightning, a bolt of lightning moves at the same speed normal lightning does just as a beam of light moves at the speed of normal light. Because their speed is constant.

Also nais lightning bolt WAS normal lightning because she used heat and cold to form the cloud, a machine would just gather any elctrons in the air and shoot the at the target, yet again nai's come fro a cloud formed fro heat and cold balls therefore her lightning is natural, therefore it is legit.

Call me ignorant but when I look at things like that I just don't see how one can call it a trope.
