>Knocks Luffy out 5 times
>still loses
It's bullshit.

they have to lose to complete the story

>>279738333
I guess so, but it seems really poor structured he had to get beaten so many times.

One Piece would be 10x better without all the padding and 1000s of new characters every arc

>>279738351
Yeah, I get the Oda's obsession to make the world feel alive with all these thousand characters, but the problem is it's just too much.
All other parts of the world would make for great spin-offs.

it's what you call fighting the MC

>>279738827
Goku doesn't get knocked out a single time while fighting Freezer

>>279738967
Goku is a Mary Sue.

>>279738967
Goku is just built different

>>279737109 (OP)
Luffy wins every time thanks to foodheals, he's a fraud

>>279738351
Wdym? You don't like the giant kids? You weren't interested to know their names?

I can imagine someone in the future making a One Piece Trimmed Down manga version that cuts out the majority of flashbacks and pointless side characters and it would be 10/10. Sadly, we have to go with Oda's unrestrained retard flow of consciousness till the very end of the manga to see it happen

power of plot armor

You could cut Yamato entirely, and nothing would change. She really is the most pointless character.
I hate her. Entire Wano builds on the Red Scabbard filling their obligation, but once 3rd act begins they are sidelined in favor of this unmentioned daughter of Kaidou.

>>279739269
Yamato is such an afterthought of a character it's not even funny.
>inserted in the final act of Wano
>NEVER mentioned before, not even once
>literally no own character, just larps as Oden
>serves no point in the story, just fights some goons and Kaido for a little while
>annoying as shit
But the worst of all:
>heavily hinted to join the crew
>doesn't
WHAT THE FUCK WAS HER POINT, SHITDA??

>>279738967
instead he gets nearly killed by a comedic relief goon and spends a large portion of the arc comatose

Luffy vs. Katakuri is still the most bullshit fight in the entire series. Katakuri landed way more hits, had future sight, and should’ve knocked Luffy out multiple times yet somehow Luffy still wins. It makes no sense.

>>279739329
The weirdest thing about her is gender identity.
Despite identifying as a man, Sanji still lust after her.
So, the fuck. Is Sanji gay or just transphobic?

>>279739516
Sanji is a retard

>>279739385
Power scaling is fucked.
So, if Kizaru and Rob Lucci are on par with Luffy's god form, why didn't they take out Kaidou?
I always thought Kaidou was on par with top admiral, this implies he was weaker, wtf.

>>279739900
I suppose is HACKi related like Kizaru might be unable to hurt Kaidou because he doesn't have luffy or zoro's HACKi but because Oda is senile he totally forgot that Law managed to cause damage to Kaidou's dragon form without using HACKi

>>279737109 (OP)
You are watching shonenslop, what do you expect

>>279741632
>>279738967

>Luffy is allowed to train to become stronger or just unlock Gear 5
>but Kaido isn't allowed to train or unlock second awakening of his fruit

>>279739145
This. It was cool when he did it to Crocodile, but it's become too regular and formulaic at this point. Probably won't happen, but I'd like to see Luffy have to fight a villain 3+ times because he keeps getting a respite and coming back for more.

>>279739385
luffy vs katakuri is just unfair writing nothing about that was deserved

>>279739900
Because the WG didn't want to take out Kaido
