Ace was a rival to become the pirate king. He had to be eliminated somehow.

Just like how Big Mom must be defeated because she too wants to be the pirate king. It doesn't have to happen this arc, but Luffy and co need to defeat her or in some other way change her mind on wanting that title.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.

I mean I guess Oda could have come up with some other way to teach Luffy to not be so reckless before entering the New World but I don't think his character would have been patient enough

I mean can we really classify Luffy as patient right now anyways?

Though to not be a random shit disturber, I'm glad Ace died cause it really elevated Marineford to Masterpiece Status in my books.

Luffy hasn't changed his character one bit since Ace's death.

Ahm, how many people who've said they wanted to be the pirate king and then fought with luffy has luffy "eliminated". If by eliminated you mean "fought them and left them feeling respect for him and/or converted them to his side" then yes, he has "eliminated" people. I doubt that luffy will EVER actually kill someone. I don't think he believes in killing. He wants freedom, not power.

EDIT: I think Oda killed Ace because he couldn't find a way to make him useful in the long-term. Ace is never going to be subordinate to ANYONE. Equally, Luffy and Ace would never fight eachother. This stalemate would leave the title of "Pirate King" in limbo when the two eventually do start challenging and/or defeating and/or becoming Yonkou.
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Yes, exactly on the edit.

Luffy doesn't need to actually kill. He just needs his opponents to give up on becoming the Pirate King. If they respect Luffy as their superior, then that is good enough.

So there's no break, but there are sourcing problems so the scans are severely delayed and everything will be a lot later than usual.

I had very big expectations about Ichiji but he got rekt by Katakuri in matters of sec

im back on my Katakuri hype train. He has to be one of the strongest in New World.

Luffy needs to fix that but don't forget he was super weak from before!

Great chapter.. they need way more heavy hitters to face big mum and her crew in her own turf

I'm mainly wonder how Luffy will be able to legitimately take over Bigmom.
Even for Doflamingo it was very very (very) close.

Keep in mind that even before the time skip Luffy went from struggling against people like Arlong and Kreig to beating Shichibukais. He's still got room to improve. Besides, now that he's seen Big Mom's powers, the gears are grinding in his head to determine her weakness.
