General & Others Worst fights in One Piece

#30
Really bored:
Luffy vs Hody Jones
Zoro vs Monet

For not making any sense:
The Seraphim fights (altho reading this forum people malding about haki trails and coc was a delight always)
Zoro vs King which is like a meme at this point in this fandom

Most of the Wano fights were shit thematically for whats going on and being the "Enies Lobby" of post-ts
Only Robin Luffy and Sanjis opponents are really character ideology opposed to each other, rest of the fights are just people beating each other up. Which is fine and all but you would think with all the beat up it would be more than filler

Not gonna count mostly off screened fights because too many

What your most disliked fights on One Piece, either due to the fights not making sense at all even by One Piece's odd standards, of the story being bad or too nonsensical to your taste, of them not being good visually or all of these combined ?

I didn't like Nami vs Kalifa very much, due to how goofy the thing was and how obviously outmatched Nami was and how she should have died ten times if the plot wasn't with her. Same with Nami vs Ulti.

Zoro vs Meowban Brothers, with Zoro struggling more than he should have against the brothers.

Zoro vs Pica. The thing of Zoro easily and repeatedly slicing Pica's golems and attacks, while Pica often used the same tactics and techniques and not inflicting any real wound on Zoro, and with Zoro repeatedly chasing Pica was quite annoying.

Zoro and Tashigi vs Monet. Oda wasted Tashigi badly in Punk Hazard, and this was his last chance to give her a chance to shine but he still didn't give her her moment, while Zoro was strangely holding back against Monet, and while him terrifying and slicing Monet was cool visuelly I still have my criticisms about this fight.

Law and Kid vs Big Mom. The way Oda was once again handicaping and holding back Big Mom after he had done this during all of WCI second half and most of Wano, not allowing her to use her full potential neither with her physical abilities, nor her haki nor her devil fruit while making Kid and Law tank her attacks without any issue while she didn't use her haki to counter theirs, was very infuriating and cringeworthy. Not counting how most of this "fight", if I can even call this a fight, was offscreened, and the bombs ending.
Oda visibly didn't know what he was doing with BM in Wano (if he ever did since the Tamatebakko explosion), and was desperate for an excuse to remove her as an antagonist.

Sanji vs Absalom, while there was the gag at the beginning between Sanji and Absalom about the Suke Suke no mi and Sanji's pervert dream, this fight was absolutely not exciting with Absalom being a very lackluster fighter and antagonist, especially compared to Sanji's previous opponents such as Mr 2 Bon Clay and Jabra.

Chopper and Robin vs Hogback and zombies, no need to explain why.
G5 vs Kaido was crap.
Lanji vs Queen sucked.
Raizo vs Fuku was ass.

Law and Kid vs BM was lame. The only sections that Oda bothered to draw were simple and repetitive. The whole thing was so segmented that it never managed to feel like the huge climatic showdown the very last scene tried to sell it as.

Zoro vs King was disappointing in terms of action (art, paneling, choreography) compared to stuff like the Mr. 1 battle and the struggle of the fight itself is not very coherent especially with the Seraphims in mind. Did aCoC give Zoro the means to hurt King regardless of flame? Why did King even leave his invulnerable state if not?

These are just recent fights though that are still fresh in my memory.

The pre time skip fights were another thing, he still get some generic power ups mid fights like every other shounen protagonists. Arlong was strong but nothing overwhelming, Kata was toying with Luffy, he could have killed if it wasn't for the plot armor. Croco actually beat Luffy a couple of times but Luffy survived and come up to fight to a later date it isn't like he come back to fight in that exact fight (and that happened 4 or 5 times in the very same fight vs Kaido, it is ridiculous).
Luffy vs Lucci was interesting as we can accept that in Water 7 he was taken by surprise and quickly dealt by Lucci because he was way stronger but in Enies lobby he show for the first time the gears he developed after being mercilessly beaten by Aokiji and in the end those were his victory pass. And that solution was very good compared to the usual bullshit we see in shounen fights (not even taking in exam the fight with Kata or Kaido). They are different fights.
You say that they are different but fail to show how.
Arlong was extremely overwhelming. Sanji couldn't touch him, Zoro at his worst could not touch him. Luffy gives him everything and cannot touch him.
Suddenly, Luffy gets stronger and wins. And Arlong fights on the ground instead of fighting in the water nerfing himself.

Crocodile, Luffy gets downed 4 times, once in the desert, once when he gets sucked, once before getting in the catacombs, and once from the poison.

It's hard to say tbh most one piece fights are pretty subpar

It's mostly just clashes and big attacks

There's only 3 that I actually really really like

Lucci vs Luffy (Enlies Lobby)

Kid and Law vs Big Mom

Usopp vs Luffy

But if I had to pick my absolute least favorite Hmm

Akainu vs Aokiji cause it was off screened ๐Ÿ™„
