In Sabaody the whole crew defeated a Pacifista
Someone likely weaker than Zombie Oars and Moria
It’s maybe not a classic arc

He had bigger bounty than Doffy and Caesar, yet fought them as main villains
He and Kizaru have 3B bounties (although one is from CG and the other from wG)

And he didn't beat Kaido alone. Fighting Kizaru is a way for Oda to say Luffy can beat fresh top tier 1v1 now.

@RayanOO: I could see Saturn being the Linlin of WCI equivalent here.

But I don't think it's particularly likely.

Cause Kaido was nerfed in the fight. Oda had someone outright say Kaido was weakening before Luffy vs Kaido part 2 started.

It’s like how he fought Cracker after Doffy

Morj made a video about the repeat of Sabaody with the same adversaries just this time SHP whoopin ass which will then prove their ability as a new Yonko crew

Which is a solid theory

Luffy fought a Kaido that had already fought almost a dozen people.Luffy needs to 1v1 a top tier to prove he is truly a big dog.

Your argument would work if Luffy fought Kaido solo but it wasn't. Kaido fought an entire gauntlet and was already heavily exhausted when he fought a stronger Luffy.

It's a high chance Saturn won't participate. Until further notice it's Luffy vs Kizaru. Monkey vs yellow monkey.

You can say the same about Doffy and Kata. Both time the fight wasn’t completely fair and not straight 1 vs 1

Both Doffy and Kata were stronger than Luffy even after their defeat

Luffy may or may not have a skirmish with Kizaru, but I doubt there will be an all out fight. If he's fighting an admiral all out, it's Akainu, but even then it's questionable whether it will be an all out 1v1. The only all out fights left imo are Blackbeard and Imu, in no particular order.

@Sentinel: I think this is just not true given Saturn's involvement in this arc.

@comrade Akainu is the Fleet Admiral, not an Admiral anymore. And besides, Luffy's gonna beat at least two Yonkos (Kaido and BB), so where is the issue in beating an Admiral now? Also, I wanna see some FTL feats if Luffy surpasses Kizaru in speed.

@Cinera If Luffy's gonna fight Saturn, it means one of the Gorosei already loses before EoS arc. Imo it's not likely.

@Sentinel: if the Gorosei are all bonafide Top Tiers, then Luffy doesn't have 5 crew members to fight and defeat them all.

I don't see a Gorosei falling before EOS as meaningfully different from an Admiral falling before the final war.

Though I think if the Strawhats really are just focusing on escaping, it's plausible that they don't fully defeat their World Government opponents.

Because Luffy didn't defeat Kaido alone the same way he didnt defeat Doffy alone.

This bad "logic" that Luffy fights someone stronger each arc is false. Luffy went from Kaido to Lucci and then Kizaru or Saturn. The same way Luffy went from Doffy to Cracker and then Katakuri. Luffy fights stronger opponents first with help, then he solo's

@Cinera Luffy will have a huge alliance in EoS. Law, Sabo and Kidd can fight the 3 while Zoro and Sanji fight the other 2. There's no issue.

The difference is that Luffy has a legitimate reason to have a rematch against Kizaru. He lost against Kizaru in pre-ts and couldn't protect his crew. Meanwhile the Gorosei were just revealed to be powerful a few chapters ago and they are still too relevant to be put down yet

Even, if it's just one of them losing.
Luffy said that he's gonna beat Yonko and Admirals. So if this isn't the moment to defeat an admiral, after obtaining the power to tango with other top tiers, when will it be? After Laugh Tale when Luffy's PK and fights the "Fleet Admiral"??? Again, Luffy has a good reason to beat Kizaru this arc. It's personal. While he doesn't even know Saturn who said he'll hide his power.
