Luffy got to Wano only to be oneshotted by base Kaido, Zoro tanked and Law blocked that same move but from hybrid Kaido, it's embarrassing how weak pre CoC coating Luffy really is, needs G4 for Ulti, needs to be carried by Zoro the entire arc...
Without a power that Zoro also got 10 minutes later Luffy couldn't even beat a F6 without his magic fruit.
Your papercut, now show us Luffy doing better with CoA and no reality warping magic fruit.
