People like me salty for characters development, not about just "battles", but main problem is that we reading shonen and in that case character development is also depending on battles. You are fool, if you don't understand why SH crew has to get fight 1x1 or something like that. I know that major problem comes from fact that people don't care about some characters with whatever reason. But only a fool could think like that, case it's not Naruto, and for what it seems Oda just can't go way that Kishimoto walk. Case Luffy has his crew, and that crew will be always in the center of any events that happening. Amd there's no way to justify even fact that SH didn't die in previous two chapters. And to be clear....imagine Akainu who turned dumb ass and can't kill Nami, usopp or Robin, even when they meet him eye to eye.
Fools all of you who believe that plot armor is more than enough to carry story till the end.
