Guys who beat Luffy

lorenzo

The thing that makes One Piece realistic and great is that the main character is not overpowered and such, there is a sense of realism in the fact that Luffy was defeated several times.
Here are the guys that defeated him:

Ao Kiji = Powerful Ice Pirate that Luffy battled to save Robin

Don Krieg = I think it was just a fluke. Anyway Don Krieg was still able to outsmart Luffy by throwing him to the sea. I'm sure Luffy'l come back

Baron Omatsuri = Wow. This guy's hardly untouchable. With his lightning speed arrows Luffy can't even get close to him.

Crocodile = Although Luffy was able to defeat him on the third round it is a fact that Crocodile defeeated Luffy two times in a row.

Rob Lucci = The famous CP9 ace. Rob Lucci has defeated Luffy already once and right now it's round two for these fierce Devil Fruit warriors.

Buggy the Clown = Buggy beat Luffy in Loguetown, but it was more of a luck strike. And Luffy was saved by Buggy's bad luck when he was hit by lightning. Damn, Buggy almost had Lufffy's head and then the lightning came out. Luffy was well prepared to die on that part.

True but this is also true.

He always comes back and own their asses. Buggy was an exception. And Aokiji will probably not be beaten by Luffy or that they will even fight again.

Will Ace fight Ao Kiji? That would be sweet

BTW lorenzo, Ao Kiji wasn't a pirate.

lorenzo

Oh? I guess I don't know One Piece that much. I wish Ace would fight Ao Kiji, it'll be a great fight. Fire and Ice will go "BWAAM!!" "BWOOM!!"

While it's true that their are villains stronger than Luffy, Luffy himself is insanely powerful also. How many main characters do you know can push apart two buildings, drag around a giant golden ball and even run up a slanted surface with it, and knock a gigantic monster out cold in a single punch?

Buuhan1

Goku, thats who. XD

davybackfight

I still think Aokiji would beat Luffy.

Masta D.

According to the Daz, Enel "defeated" Luffy by pushing him off the cliff and giving him a handi-cap. Arlong has a victory in too: he tossed him in the water and totally disrespected his devil fruit abilities.

GearSecond

I would hardly call it a victory.

a loss at the end of a full battle, the winner wins the lose rloses. like Luffy was beaten by Crocodile a couple times, but then he beat him.

Don Krieg Enel and Arlong never actually finished luffy because at the end of the day(well fight) Luffy was the winner. the worst thing Don Krieg did to Luffy was at the end. he was defeated and threw Luffy in the water.

Arlong did a similar thing, mid fight but he ended up coming back up.

Serenity

Well, it's true that Luffy could have lost to many characters. But he's extremely lucky:ninja: Everytime he loses, something happens and he comes back (eg. In the 1st round against Crocodile, Pell appeared. In the second, that… um... drop(?) of water fell on him etc.)
Um, yeah, however he's the main character. If he dies, the story is over, so... XD

You didn't watch the rest of the arc? Of course Luffy came back, Luffy won.

Baron Omatsuri = Wow. This guy's hardly untouchable. With his lightning speed arrows Luffy can't even get close to him.

Movies don't really count, but Baron himself wasn't the villain, he was more of a puppet, it was the flower that was the real villain.

I rather liked the fact that Luffy wasn't the one who beat the villain for once. :/

But in the end, the final victory is exactly that. Even if the villain knocks Luffy down first, in every case in the series except for Ao Kiji and Smoker, Luffy has won.

Buccaneer

Buggy and Arlong didn't really win, because it wasn't during a fight. They both just caught him beforehand.

He was definitely lucky with Krieg, but hey, he did it.

Ener is one I'll count, though. But the victory only kinda proved that he couldn't really beat Luffy.

onemoment

Speaking of counting, I personally don't count Luffy as losing "round 2" vs. Crocodile, where he got dried up. Even though luck (or was it) was involved, Luffy was only down for a second. It was more like an interruption.

A near-death interruption.

Aldrich

Enel didn't win in any way, he did no damage to Luffy and more or less fleed.

The fight against Croc ended with a draw though, a quasi defeat actually as without exterior help Luffy would have been dead and Croc only unconscious.

Buccaneer

That's how Krieg was. Gin saved him from MH5, and Sanji saved him from the sea.

Ener did exactly what he wanted to do to Luffy, stop him from fighting for a while. He couldn't actually knock him out or anything. I don't see how that's too different from when Zoro attacked Mr. 9 on the roof.

Ubiq

I wouldn't really count Buggy as beating Luffy in their second encounter so much as Luffy idiotically put himself into position to be beaten. Still, Buggy is one of the more resilient people Luffy has ever fought judging by just how many times he gets back up after Luffy hits him considering that he lacks armor, super-strength, or Tekkai…

As far as ass-whuppings go, Aokiji probably inflicted the worst on Luffy. Aokiji probably stands a good chance of beating Luffy even without resorting to his Logia powers judging by his ability to take a Bullet to the gut and not even flinch. Sure, Crocodile basically killed Luffy twice, but it seems like he would have had a lot more trouble beating Luffy without his Logia power than Aokiji would have.

lorenzo

Wouldn't using gear 2 make Luffy immune to ice?

CosmicDebris

No, it would not.

onemoment

@CosmicDebris:

No, it would not.

It might.

(20 characters)

Maybe Luffy's hot enough to just resist being frozen. That doesn't seem so out there.

Aldrich

@CosmicDebris:

No, it would not.

Why can you post messages under 20 characters? Is that because you're a mod??? DISCRIMINATION!!!

Hey Foxy did some good damage to Luffy also. He would've been out if not for the power of the afro.

Of course there's discrimination on the board. Mods can delete and close threads and nobody else can, haha!
But there's 16 character limit for me, maybe it's 16 for mods/admin and 20 for everyone else, I don't know, I thought everyone's limit was 16…. :3

Ao Kiji

arara..I beat Luffy once../pointless post

Le Lawliet

(16 characters are needed in a post)

game2005

I really want to ask this again… What makes everybody think Aokiji is ultimate powerhouse and god-like character of OP? Sure, he defeated Luffy with ease, but that doesn't mean he's the number one most powerful character of the series. There has to be someone else stronger than him, right?

I'm pretty sure there is. Hell, there might be a shichibukai or two that are on par with him. They said they're strongest in the marines after all, that doesn't include pirates.

I agree with onemoment , the fact that aokiji is the strongest marine doesn't mean that he is the strongest op fighter , you can be the strongest person of an organisation/crew/gang , it doesn't mean that you are as strong as another guy who have the same position as yours in another crew .

In one piece there are lot of those kind of situation , look at the marine , a marine HQ captain is stronger than a marine base captain ( it have been said by ODA himself ) and they have the same title , captain krieg is the strongest of his crew but franky , sanji and zoro are stronger than him and they are part of another crew .

In saint seya the "i'm the strongest in my organisation "means nothing , the 7 generals of the sea were the strongest among mariners but they are nothing but a bunch of weaklings in front of the gold saint , the 3 judges of hell were the strongest fighter in hell but one of them has been defeated by the phenix saint ikki ( who is also a paradoxal saint because he belong to the weakest saint class but he is also feared by a bunch of strong people ).

And also why there is a strongest fighter in a crew anyway ?
answer : to be able to fight against other strong people , who by the way can be stronger than the strongest of your own crew .

A last exemple but not the least is the alabasta fighters , pell was the strongest alabastian fighter but he has been owned by robin .

You can be the strongest of your group , it doesn't mean that there are not people as strong if not stronger than you .

game2005

Good to see people with some logic about this. Most of the OP fans I know talk about how Aokiji is god and how he cannot be defeated, not even by Ace. In fact, I met someone who said Gol D. Roger was captured because he was defeated by Aokiji…

Darkariel

I think Oda said that Ao Kiji isn't the strongest when he introduced WhiteBeard "The strongest Man in the World"

Sure Ao Kiji is the Great Strenght of the Marine HQ but the other 2 Admirals are also like him

And together the 3 Admirals form the Greatest Power of the Marine HQ

But still WhiteBeard alone is the strongest and since even him couldn't beat Gol D. Roger, I think Gol D. Roger must have been the World's strongest man in his time
