Way too many top-tiers and more are shown as the arcs go by for that but top 20-25 current would be amazing for him.
I expect him and Crocodile will be immensely powerful and influential, and Doffy helps make Cross Guild seem more legitimate strength-wise if they have 3 really capable fighters...
Zoro vs Super Sommers
Sanji vs Killingham
Usopp, Nami and maybe Franky/Jimbei vs Gunko
I want Usopp to do well and get a hype moment, but I don't expect him to just beat a Holy Knight 1v1. He'll overcome his fears, be brave and defeat one or at least play a crucial role in defeating one (getting the...
No clue, but the anime going on breaks after big arcs or collections of arcs could at least help with the pacing if that's the intention. I don't know beyond that, Oda's making the breaks a consistent thing, but I don't think it'll get worse or anything like that, probably just the anime side...
Eh, the dude was strong given his rank, but the new gen was just stronger. I just wish Oda would've shown him more on-panel. The demotion isn't surprising, Big Mom wanted to keep the standard up, but him even having it says something. His lack of importance wasa shame.
Remove the memes of him disrupting the Monster Trio and he really hasn't done much the past two arcs.
Wano it at least seemed like Oda had plans for him, Sanji getting easily frustrated with him while he's respectful, giving his best efforts for Luffy, him and Robin meshing well, maybe more...
Imu or Big Mom. Obviously he didn't have the latter in mind, but could be him getting his wish in an unfortunate way. Imu being a lady is an outcome I'd like.
Hajrudin having a logia (he wanted Ace's but we know that didn't pan out) would be great, but I don't think it'll be Enel's. Hopefully Hajrudin simply continues seeking strength and gets a cool logia, but I would Enel remains alive if he returns.
Fire and Lightning, Jarul hoping to meet an old woman (won't be what he wanted but fits the bill), I think it's possible and I hope she returns and Luffy gets a win over her. They can even chain her like Loki if he's vindicated to some extent for his actions given how much she's hated. Plus she...
I agree with the thread. No need for a direct bloodline connection. Inheriting his will and posing a similar threat to Luffy as Xebec posed Roger is enough.
If any of the Monster Trio will, it's him, but they're there together and I kinda doubt he'll be portrayed as getting overwhelmed while the other two excel, especially when Loki's still touching seastone. I expect some large-scale attacks and Loki beating the giants, but beyond that probably...
Big Mom. This and Jorul wanting an older lady, wouldn't be shocked if he gets his wish in an unforeseen way by a return from Linlin.
That aside, Ace, Sabo, Enel, lots of characters if they set out to be arsonists they'd do lots of damage.
He's been great. Folks claimed he'd be irrelevant, but Oda didn't give that naming theme for nothing and it makes sense to build off the Roger Pirates with one more relevant member. Obviously we didn't see everything he has, but he showed great DC and reactions, not to mention having both Luffy...
Gaban is Sanji's parallel regardless. It being such an important moment for those two to meet with someone Sanji will surpass doesn't detract from Sanji. But after the Straw Hats heard his story, I see no reason why they'd restrict it to those two.
In a sense, I get that take (Kaido was called strongest pirate and creature when most figures were active, Mihawk's World's Strongest Swordsman), but Imu exists. I don't think Luffy will be restricted to be below Kaido or Mihawk when he has to take down Imu (plus even if he had a lot of help, no...
If not now, maybe final war especially if his discoveries on the moon become relevant especially with that mural a few chapters ago. I hope we see tons of him.
Oda has given enough parallels that Luffy doesn't need to. Gaban was new and his mannerisms were already similar to Sanji in regards to the significance of love, so Luffy made the connection to help build up the parallel. Plus, character-wise, Rayleigh isn't that similar to Zoro in behaviour but...
