Again red herring because everyone did the exact same thing even Sanji
Nah Im not rereading that terrible arc again. A waste of 2 years.
The Strawhats never faced a situation like WCI before, everyone warned them about how dangerous it was, but Luffy didn't care.
I laugh my ass off seeing people trying to compare WCI with Arlong Park or Enies Lobby, they couldn't even fight in WCI, fighting was literally something that was desperatly needed to be avoided.
Not to mention Bege and his crew's importance in that arc.
If Luffy recognized that he can't be the Pirate King without Sanji and then took then decisions he took, then i dont know what its left to be stated.
