@STP_PS:
But you see Luffy WASN´T ABLE to stop it. Otherwise we wouldn´t be having this debate. That´s a fact. For whatever reason you want to state. Even if Luffy had the intention to capture Ceasar; his motives weren´t related to the "lets save the poor centaur crew-sheep henchmen who are so dumb to not know they are being treated as guinea pigs". If anything this is a collateral fact that would piss off Luffy even more; actually, it did as shown in the chapter.
I would agree with your statement if Luffy had been acting like zoro did against monet "sitting next to the gate idling away" but Luffy was clearly in a fighting stance. He just couldn´t Knock Ceasar out before the sheep troop was shinokunied´
first of all, i'd like to thank you for a respectable debate. i dislike getting into debates with people who get upset just b/c i disagree with their point of view. again thank you
secondly: i disagree with when u say "luffy WASNT ABLE TO". if that were the case, i wouldnt put blame on luffy. looking at previous encounters, luffy's strongest attacks are; flame fist (gear 2 with hardening), elephant gun (gear 3 with hardening), elephant gatlin (elephant gun, over and over again). also, looking at luffy's gears, gear 2 and gear 3 are more powerful than his regular state. in turn, gear 2 and gear 3 with hardening are more powerful than his regular state in hardening. upon luffy's third entrance, luffy GRAZED, CC with an elephant gun which cause CC to spew up blood. Imagine if that had connected? imagine then if luffy used an elephant gatlin which almost destroyed noah which was the size of an island? im sorry, but i have to respectfully disagree in saying luffy "WASNT ABLE TO".
thirdly: initially, u are right. Luffy's goal was only to capture CC, but after speaking with momo and hearing what CC did to the kids, luffys motives where to also put a stop to CC's actions. on top of that, after seeing what CC did to brownbeard, and also listening to CC motives, his want/need to stop ceasar escalated. yes he didnt want to "save" (per say) the imbeciles but they would have been collateral. but by delaying the beat down CC so deserves, luffy prolonged CC's consciousness, extending his rampage (for a lack of a better term). zoro's goal was to stop monet and not let her bring harm to his crewmates which he accomplished. luffy's goal was to capture him and stop his actions which luffy has yet to do and while delaying it, there were more casualties.(if oda does make these ppl die ofcourse)
