Only reason Law lost was because Vergo had Law's heart though. The second he got it back, the match ended in a matter of seconds. Law should be also be quite fast but probably not as fast as Luffy. He is a swordsman and generally you get the impression that any skilled swordsman would have to be very fast, on top of keeping up with Smoker whose always been able to handle Luffy's speed. I say this because I've read people on a few occasions say if you've got speed, you can own Law.
Is there any hints or indication that he isn't fast? I am quite curious about this as to why people think he isn't fast.
I agree with your explanation that their tag team can work wonders though. I think they can also work with Luffy attacking head on and Law slicing from far away, short-ranged and long-ranged. Law can fight short ranged but it would be interesting for him to long ranged attacks and Luffy getting into the thick of things.. Then Luffy is about to get killed, shambles.. Kaido goes past Luffy and goes straight for Law, Gear 2nd (or 4?) to help Law out. Damn I hope this fight happens and it doesn't disappoint.
It should be interesting to see vs Kaido if they do fight him first. I would really like a 2v1 Yonko fight with those two and then Luffy fighting a slightly stronger Yonko (BB) by himself several years later down the line in the series to show just how much he has improved. Rather than Law getting owned, Luffy single-handedly beats Kaido.. single-handedly beats BM, single-handedly beats Shanks, single-handedly beats Blackbeard.
I totally agree. It seems alot of hate for law simply comes from "this is luffy's story, law is stealing all the shine. Ive been waiting for luffy to beat DD since oda first showed him but now it seems that this law character will" when the supernovas was 1st introduced, i took it as oda showing us "its a huge world, luffy is the main character but hes not the only one that has ambitions(not meaning haki).
But I will agree with the daz that Law's power is OP and he "should" be capable of beating anyone with such an OP DF but kizaru is the same. He should be able to move at the speed of light and own everyone. Fighting smoker, why didnt law just use scan on his jutte?
