I think people have to start looking at antagonists more laterally than vertically in this series again. There was a point in Pre-TS where Enel would have likely rocked Lucci or Moria like nothing, yet he came after.

Its all about how the villain can be perceived as a threat. Kizaru arguably is the fastest man alive, and could fuck with Luffy's observation haki. Blackbeard having 2 or 3 of the strongest DFs where one negates Luffy's powers largely poses a bigger issue for where hed need to rely more on Haki than powers. Akainu just straight up has one of the most dangerous DFs in the series. Oda has never drawn another villain with the ability to quite literally scar, maim and eviscerate bodies the way he did with Akainu and Ace, Jinbe, Luffy and Whitebeard.

All of these characters just have different threats to the MC. That could also include Im and the Gorosei, or even Shanks for that matter (I personally think BB and Shanks are polar opposite in that regard with respect to top DF powers and Haki).
Yeah i get what you mean
All luffy's main arc opponents don't necessarily need to be neccesarily stronger than all the previous as long as they're the strongest and most dangerous opponent in context of the arc

Like i still think its possible for us to see a davy back fight between the strawhats and the red haired pirates + possibly cross guild next arc

When it comes to akainu tho its hard for me to think of a situation where there would be an arc where he is the main big bad and not the world government aka imu
 
Bullshitter show the entire page. The blue highlighted shows that his FEET were above GROUND. THE PANEL YOU SHOWED was before their clash. My panel shows his feat before and AFTER HIS CLASH WITH HIS FEET BEING PLANTED ON GROUND after the clash.

Which means he was the one that was pushed towards the floor while zoros feat before and after remained in the same stance mid air

How is 1 leg levitated means he was on the air completely? :suresure: You serious?

Also how you even see 1 leg is levitated? Its still on the ground lmao.

You clearly can't realize whats happening there, the clash effect being close to SHawk means Zolo is the one who get pushed.

Give Lucci and Moria the ability to hurt Enel and they would beat Enel no problem
