@Baldulf:
Luffy is unable to evolve from his simplistic fighting style and the enemies are topping Doflamingo's bullshit powers (whats next? A tofu paramecia that can create tofu nuclear bombs?)
yeah exactly. it's the lamest DF ever. i mean, we've already seen some shitty DFs but a food DF…
i get it, totland is a fucked up country but wtf. i'm very curious about how the DFs have been created now.
there are so many possibilities but Oda falls into "uhhh it's not that I lack of imagination, but there are DFs that are of the same family you know... uhhh. so if some look very similar, don't worry, it's because there are useless characters anyway and I'm keeping good ideas for very important characters. "
@Kaizoku_Ou:
Judging from how all of the supernovae that challenged BigMom fail to meet her in person, I presume Luffy will. She's also expecting him.
Luffy has been trained for 2 years by the DARK KING, dude.
of course he'll meet her, and this is even going to be like the first time he had seen Alvida.
@The:
Flamingo is only relatively weak when you compare him to the yonkous and their crews. And when you do that most characters are also weaklings(Luffy included). The Mingo fight was also a great example of how OP is different from other manga in terms of the fights. Example, if someone beats someone else in a fight it does not mean the winner is stronger. In a "real" fight, where there wasn't an author who needs to build tension Mingo wouldn't have been much of a threat against a Law + Luffy alliance.
i don't get it.
are you saying the fights are super complex and shit or that Oda is a shitty writer ( for fights ) ?
because things like
"the arc lasted 100chapters because Oda wanted to create Luffy's fleet at the chapter 800"
or
"Luffy faces the boss arc a few times before beating him just because the author wants to build some lazy tension ( and lol, also because he didn't have the time to do the flashbacks )."
or
"Luffy can't really beat the boss arc but the plot requires it, so he does"
( i'm specifically thinking about Ener, the guy could have wrecked Luffy, he can literally move at the lightning speed and mastered mantra but somehow, Ener turned out to be dumber than Luffy ar yo stupid, didn't i tell you…. also, the final punch, Luffy's punch is somehow so fast, that Ener the guy that has eaten the thunder DF can't handle it. AND, he actually loses because he doesn't want Luffy ringing this stupid bell ? "uhhh i didn't know how Luffy was gonna win against Ener so I created a situation in which Ener doesn't want to move–- Oda, the unpredictable genius who sets up things that'll happen in hundreds of chapters )
Are usual things in One Piece
