Luffy is back to how he was in, Alabasts Water 7, Ennies Lobby and Marineford. Oda regressed his character post timeskip. Oda is now returning Luffy to the eay he was before timeskip.
Post timeskip Luffy up until Wano was utter trash, and was worse than he was at the from Alabasta to Marineford.
Post timeskip Luffy up until Wano was utter trash, and was worse than he was at the from Alabasta to Marineford.
Even in Zou the moment where he forces Momo to be a partner and hold his head up high is a great moment that shows off his unique elements as a character while everyone is standing shocked and angry until they realise what's going on.
Whole Cake Island Luffy was pure kino:
1) Declaring he couldn't be king without Sanji
2) Trash talking Big Mom and calling her a loser for making excuses blaming Lola on her not being pirate king
3) Starving himself and managing to keep his promise despite the army
4) Confronting Katakuri and smashing the mirror
5) Claiming he couldn't run away from him if he wanted his haki to bloom
6) Telling katakuri there is nothing such as rules in a pirate fight.
7) Demanding Jinbe return alive at all costs because he is his captain.
