While I think there will be some fights later on, I can only see Zoro seriously getting into a fight with Luffy, with Sanji as more as an outside chance. Nami wouldn't ever start a serious fight, Robin is going to be 100% loyal after this arc and Chopper I don't see challenging Luffy over anything.

RE: Chapter 383 "Luffy vs Blueno" Discussion
The reason why Luffy could hurt Blunoe and Sanji couldn't was because Luffy is simply much stronger. All the Straw Hats get much stronger when enraged, but Luffy is still much stronger – and what we saw this chapter is NOT his full power, just him really pissed off and seriously focused on kicking ass.

RE: Strawhats vs CP9 (who will fight?)
Hmm. CP9 members are 6-form masters, abilities which required extreme training ever since a young age. I would say each of them are very used to pain. But that doesn't mean they can stand up to what high-level pirate fighters are capable of dishing out.
The thing with the 6 forms is that you are covered every way in combat. That means if a CP9 is facing an enemy that break their Tekai (Sanji, Zoro, Luffy), they can use Kame to dodge the attacks instead, and vice versa for other kinds of opponents. If an opponent is stronger than them up close, they can hang back with air techniques. They have all the bases covered.
But, with that being said, a DF ability is still > martial arts. It doesn't matter how many technqiues they have if go up against a logia user, they are owned, plain and simple. So Crocodile, Ace, Smoker, Aikoji, etc, could own the entire CP9 at once.

RE: Strawhats vs CP9 (who will fight?)
When enraged, Luffy's strength is overwhelming. His toughness is also beyond insane; he has been shown to suffer many deep wounds and still come back, and each time getting even stronger.
If Zoro cut him, he'd just get back up and get stronger. Eventually, Zoro will start taking hits that would crush large buildings. Zoro is also really strong, but he is like a 10-year-old compared to enraged Luffy. In addition, Luffy has beaten multiple opponents Zoro would stand no chance against.
Robin's DF is mostly nulified by Luffy's because his body is impervious to grappling damage for obvious reasons. In fact, he is very resistant to all forms of blunt trauma.
Which is also the reason why Sanji would lose, and Chopper, and all the other crew members. Only Nami can manipulate energy – too bad her only energy attack is completely useless against Luffy, again, due to his DF.

RE: Strawhats vs CP9 (who will fight?)
In this manga a pirate captain is a figure with special charisma. If we look at all the real pirate crews we've seen, they all love and respect their captain. But the relationship between pirate crew and captain isn't one of superior and subordinate, it's one simply based on love, respect and deep admiration the crew feels towards the captain. This deep connection to one's captain ISN'T because the captain might be a good people person, or because he's a little stronger than everyone else. It's because the captain is a GREAT FIGURE, someone who is so far above normal expectations, you want to give him (or her) all your loyalty naturally. A part of that image of captain is that of overwhelming strength to overcome all challenges. A crewmember who doesn't feel his captain can handle this can't be said to be a crewmember in the sense a crewmember deeply respects his captain.

RE: Strawhats vs CP9 (who will fight?)
I'm sorry, but Luffy would own the entire crew AT ONCE.
The only crew member that could even occupy him for an extended length of time is Zoro, who is definately tough but Luffy is just tougher still.
Sanji: Luffy is much tougher in a brawl.
Robin: Gomu-gomu renders her DF inneffective.
Chopper: Luffy is vastly stronger in terms of combat.
Ussop: Already got owned even after careful planning and serious lack of fighting spirit from Luffy.
Nami: Almost completely powerless against him.
The capitain is the strongest of the strong. No combination of crew can defeat the captain.

RE: Strawhats vs CP9 (who will fight?)
Logic? Luffy could pwn the entire crew at once. That's why he's the Straw Hat.
The captain is always the strongest of the strong.

Luffy >>>>>>> Zoro
Pirate captains always much stronger than their crew.

RE: Strawhats vs CP9 (who will fight?)
Ussop vs. Kaku is sort of a given at this point due to the Merry sub-plot. I'm not saying Ussop CAN'T beat the third strongest CP9 member, only that it'd be tough for him not be beaten first :)
But I'm willing to let Oda suprise me with something clever.
