You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie

Well now, hold on...
Comic relief is not an excuse to bend the fundamental rules of the series. Sanji engulfing himself in flames is unrelated, as it is a common characterization used over dramatically in cartoons. It would be different if, say, Sanji was able to use the flames of passion to defeat Aokiji's ice or something.
Perhaps a better scenario to compare it to would be Inner Sakura vs Ino, which is ridiculous considering that Inner Sakura was meant to be a symbolic manifestation of Sakura's passion.
Still bullshit though.

You are talking about people like Crocodile and Enel, who have trained their Devil Fruit to that extent. So, you really aren't addressing my question. Obviously I was implying that Smoker and Ace (for example) don't have mastery of their Devil Fruit to the extent of someone like Crocodile and Enel.
So Ace was able to dodge Auger's bullets in time, but not Smoker flying into him? What about Kizaru being shot in the side of the head while he was trying to figure out his transponder snail?
