Rebecca has something against Doflamingo, Violet has something against Doflamingo, Kinemon has something against Doflamingo. It's not hard to believe that Law will get injured and you know how Luffy can be when his nakama get injured. I'm 200% sure and half of my leg that Luffy will fight Doflamingo. I feel like a sort of Goku-Vegeta-Frieza-esque scene will come along where Luffy is fighting DD and Law is on the floor, near dead and is telling Luffy about DD's past.
Yes unfortunately I am getting a little tired of "save nakama/new friend that is always the one that needs help and the first that Luffy meets when they go to the new island, so he saves them routine". I think that's why I like Luffy taking down the Yonko, they are in front of his path and he will take them down while this could be another reused plotline which tends to happen every time. It's far more interesting for the other two characters to take him down, especially when Oda does create so many unique characters. I never even noticed until someone mentioned, but Luffy really is not a good protagonist for the simple fact that he doesn't save the day because it's the right thing but every single time, it just happens that either a nakama is kidnapped, or somehow, every time the first friend he makes in the island turns out to be pivotal to them needing his help, and then him helping them. Now that it's gotten into my head, every time this happens, my only thought is oh, here we go again. :getlost:
I can't really get the Vegeta feeling since this happens every time so instead of thinking DBZ, to me it's the same thing again… Still to this day the biggest fault of Dragon Ball Z
! is Vegeta not killing Buu when he self destructed. That would have been one of the most epic moments in anime history.
I too also think the most predictable scenario is Rebecca has some sad backstory, Luffy becomes bffs with her and that is what makes him hate Doflamingo, DD screws Law up and potentially kidnapps him (becuase using just one of the only 2 storylines is not enough), and then Luffy kicks his ass. This is the most likely scenario. There is the one where due to Rebecca Luffy takes him down or simply Law just gets beaten to a pulp instead. I guess at this point is that I want a different plot line by now, the Yonko reasoning to me for the simple fact that it's not one of the 2 used storylines makes it incredibly interesing. This arc so far also kicks too much ass, so I really want it to play differently.
@TheCrystalShip:
By that logic, Usopp should have defeated Kuro, Nami should have defeated Arlong, Chopper should have defeated Wapol, Vivi should have defeated Crocodile, Wiper should have defeated Enel, Brook should have defeated Ryuma, Jinbe should have defeated Hody. And so on and so on.
Luffy is THE savior. There is no way he's not defeating Doflamingo.
Ohh by the logic of me having a preference, you got that out of it? Please explain that one. All those characters bar Wiper and Jinbei were no where near strong enough to beat the opposition, and Wiper beating Enel would have been epic.
I know Luffy is the saviour, but apparently you can't get that I would prefer someone else to take down Doflamingo.
