General & Others Why is that Kid and Law despite being Luffy's rivals

#1
get absolutely stomped by luffy in a 1v1

- so oda has been pushing kid and law to be luffy's rivals for the PK race again and again



according to many series , going for the same path and being toe to toe in the competition means being equal or on the same level in strength

kid / law / luffy have been competing for the PK race and thus they are rivals
if u look at the panels above , then u will surely believe that these 3 characters are equal in strength
especially in the bounty panel , where the wg perceives them as a threat on the same level

but when we actually look at their individual feats and portrayal outside these panels , then luffy absolutely shit stomps kid and law in a 1v1

infact i will go as far as to say that even in a 1v2 , luffy is beating kid and law
then why is that despite oda portraying these 3 on the same level most of the time they are on panel , luffy is actually tiers above in strength .

Because Oda is going to subvert our expectations and have them get crushed by Shanks and Blackbeard.

Law and Kidd fans must be Lanji fans too. :hope:

By now it’s time people stop thinking law and kid get stomped against luffy.

Laws out here holding his own against someone stronger than Luffy. If anything Luffy vs Law is a high diff fight in Luffys favor.
I think it's because Oda failed to convey it properly. But that's due to him favoring Luffy feats no matter.
Although Law still showed goof stuff in comparison of Kid

both kaido and luffy by portrayal are above bb rn
even yamato held her own against kaido longer than law is holding his own against bb till now
and yamato also gets curb stomped by luffy

Luffy isn’t above BB???
And Kaido had no problem taking down Yamato, Blackbeards crew mentioned that going into this fight without thinking it through would be deadly.

with portrayal and feats , he is above bb rn
at worst they are on the same level so it doesnt matter much
kaido and yamato have fought way longer than bb and law
yet yamato still gets curb stomped by luffy

WG does not perceive them as an equal threat, we know for a fact that WG are concealing things about Luffy that would affect his bounty, and obviously only one of them became a Yonko.

And of course Luffy beats them 2v1, Big Mom pretty much already did it and Luffy surpassed her before G5

well you sort of answered your question
the author is clearly angling both of them as close rivals to luffy but you as a fan interpret their feats as people who are very far off.

I suppose its the same existential crisis that exist with say shanks and mihawk
where one clashes equally with the wsm
same guy stops a war between another yonko and the navy
same guy halts an admiral by just unleashing his conquerors
The only man alive the wsc thinks can fight him competitively.
same guy goes into the gorosei quarters and is said to be someone they wont want to piss off ....

while marco tells vista to go hold the other one off
he gets easily displaced as a warlord, his territory raided with no regard
but yet the same guy is still the wss so at minimum he should be at least as strong as the other guy.

portrayal matters almost as much as you think feats do.. contrary to what I thought kidd and law arent simply going away post wano; kidd is on his way to elbaf and law is clashing with Blackbeard atm. Looks like more in store for them.
