He beats the biggest threat to the pirates - the law enforcing marines?!! I mean the last one was killed by marines.
But I have learned by lessons.
But to be clear, my issue is not pirates. I like all the warlords. I just don't like the Yonkous. They are trash villains.
So if Luffy beats a pirate villain at the end who is NOT one of these Yonkous. I am fine.
