In a one on one fight with nobody around to help he would have gotten killed because he wouldn't have had help recovering after Gear 4 wore off. So on his own he is weaker than DD. | ||

that he couldn't beat DD on his own and friendship, in fact, is not a super power | ||

thats pretty much the entire reason why he is later going to be able to take on the WG. hes not gonna rock up with the thousand sunny and be like "yo marine fags lets settle this shit with a series of 1v1s. i fight akainu, zoro fights fuji and sanji fights kizaru. everyone else just grab your popcorn and watch pls" | ||

Why arbitrarily decide that two characters can only be compared in a 1v1 fight? It's like saying "1 on 1 Sanji is stronger than Zoro without his swords." | ||

You're comparing an integral part of one's fighting style to the interference of other people that can't always be called upon, you know. Why would anyone even try to argue that Luffy himself isn't weaker than DD? That's not something bad, it leaves him room for growth. And it also means Oda still has room for villains that aren't quite as strong as DD in a direct fight but still a challenge for Luffy. | ||

But another way to look at it is look what all Luffy had to go through to even get to Doflamingo. Doflamingo was just chilling on top of his palace through virtually the whole climax until Luffy and Law made it to him. So an argument could be made that Luffy wasn't 100% when he got to Doflamingo, and perhaps things could have gone easier if it truly was a 1v1 without interference, since both characters received plentiful outside help during and prior to their fight. | ||

Once Luffy finally got to Doflamingo and their proper fight started, Doflamingo would have surely won if Luffy hadn't had help.

I think it might be your logic that isnt really serious. You're basically saying that strength have to be mesured in 1on1 without any exterior alements, purely based on who wins. I'm a just following your logic. | ||

There is nothing in Elentos's logic to suggest such a sequence of events. There is nothing in the story Oda has written to suggest such a sequence of events. So, there is no logic to which SkrollK is following at all. | ||

There is nothing in Elentos's logic to suggest such a sequence of events. There is nothing in the story Oda has written to suggest such a sequence of events. So, there is no logic to which SkrollK is following at all. Did you even read the pages before ? Elentos said that the only way to mesure the strength of any character in OP was straight 11 without any disturbance by anyone, and focusing only on combat skill, with such things as Conqueror's Haki not even being part of the equation (it's not a combat skill apparently). So, by his logic, since it has been pointed out by Oda (http://www.mangapanda.com/one-piece/758/13), using the conditions and hypothesis that Elentos stated before to mesure the strength of characters in OP, Sugar would have pretty high odds to be able to touch Luffy at least once, therefore turning him into a toy, therefore winning the duel, therefore being stronger than Luffy. I fail to see what you can't understand... | ||

You also trivialize the fights of the series by not including context and including instant gib powers like Perona, Hancock and Sugar. If there was a page where Perona used her DF on Mihawk than obviously Ussop>Perona>Mihawk>Zoro. Which nobody thinks and you don't need to say. The Luffy vs DD fight is used to estimate Luffy's fighting strength, there is disagreement on if Luffy actually is weaker than DD, but it is clear Luffy needed to borrow the strength of others to win. Anyways point is Sanji is still a ways off in strength, at least in display strength, from the rest when he needed help just to live vs DD. Which is not the same as Luffy needing help to defeat a serious and enraged DD. | ||

If Oda just cut out everything from Dressrosa except for the luffy vs doffy fight then it would be 10x better. That, and add strict power levels for every character, remove all miscellaneous powers except for Haki and just have every character fight hand to hand. Perfect manga right there. lol no, OP is great not only because of its fights but especially because of all the stuff around the fights... | ||
