Except, how would you get a flamethrower like that? Everything's overgrown or destroyed. Technology to make such material is destroyed. Stores or storages that would have it are destroyed. Etc. You'd have to find a survivor that can make weapons to get something made. That, or you'd have to be lucky to find material and have the knowledge to make it yourself.

But yes, true, napalm or some such would work if it was still obtainable. Then, once you've killed a dozen or two of the enemies with it, and are out of fuel, you're stuck with nothing and still a few billion other plants to kill. :P

it's pretty easy, I mean, I guess it depends how long it's been, but you take a scuba tank, fill it up, get another one, fill it with gas, rig them so the system pressure feeds into one hose, and that hose leads to a pointable nozzle, have a wick on the nozzle, and whenever you open up the system WHOOSH flames everywhere.

You can make napalm with equal parts frozen concentrated orange juice and gasoline. I forget what the ratio is for sawdust. The trick is to light lots of things on fire while you're murdering plants, so you still have fire to keep them at bay

1: Where do you find scuba tanks with everything destroyed?
2: Where do you find gas or freeze orange juice with everything destroyed?
3: How do you pressurize it enough?

The idea behind the whole setting is that weapons like a flamethrower are INCREDBILY rare and valuable. :P Weapons like machetes or axes would be more common. Possibly a rotating saw blade if you can find batteries and a motor and rig it up. (solar panels can always give electricity after all)

1: scuba supply store? marina? boat?
2: prepper's house
3: more stuff from prepper's house

gas powered saws are so much more fun. machetes seem good in principle, but you get tired hella quick swinging them

"pepper's house" has readily available gas and a way to pressurise it? That's new to me. :P Also, scuba supply store also destroyed...wouldn't find anything there either. Well, maybe a little bit. As I said, the idea is that such things are very scarce and valuable.

As for gas powered saws, yes a lot more fun. But once again the gas problem. :P Though you could find a few intact cars here and there to power it for a while.

Because an ironclad steam ship would be way too expensive for them? And because you'd need one hell of a shipwright team to build one. It's basically something only the navy has the resources to do. ^^;;

Yes it would...but we'd have to be a lot further into the rp to have a ship like that...xD And even then we could only get a smaller version of it. Because 1; a huge ship draws way too much attention, 2; those large ships are really...REALLY expensive, and 3; A large one would need a crew of 50+ to operate it. And it's hard to fill a crew that large with people that can survive the Grand Line for long enough to even get half-way. :P
