Arlong Park might legitimately be the only perfect arc in all One Piece but I'll say that Arlong didn't look that impressive vs Luffy
Their showdown only starts to be good when they enter Nami's old map room and that's the ending lol
Agree, although I think Oda still managed to make Arlong terrifying psychologically so I can bear him not being the biggest challenge ever


:crazwhat:
Overall I think ARLONG is a pretty good early series villain, I also enjoy how he actually cares for his crewmates.
 
Baratie is a really close contender, though.
Especially how "connected" they are. The transition between the arcs make them feel like they were meant to be one bigger arc.
Baratie is mad underrated too but there was some unneeded filler in it IMO like the Pearl fight and the fucking Baratie cooks reacting to every little thing and literally taking up panels on every page
 
I just wish Zoro could have hurt Mr1 at least a little bit.
He was OWNING Daz Bones on that fight, but just couldn't hurt him due to hacks.
Then get haki and the classic "teleport behind you you're dead".

Why should you need more than 1 shot to own someone with a powerful weapon? Did you notice that Sasaki's Ceratops charges didn't hit Franky clean, but the only one that did one shotted the Shogun?

I didn't read the manga until post-TB.
I was an anime-only until that time.

I'm not joking when I say that Orochi and Kanjuro are the only 2 villains that managed to get under our protagonists skins like Arlong did in AP

Because Oda doesn't give two fucks about realism and it would be cooler to have a more back and forth fight.
 
Mihawk one shot Zoro, does that mean Zoro will one shot Mihawk in their final duel after overcoming his black blade
Indeed. Their fight will last days, shaking the earth to the core while neither party manages a fatal blow. Then, their finisher attacks will collide, with Zoro shattering Mihawk's black blade with his own and slashing him across the chest. Zoro will become the first swordsman to ever destroy a black blade
