I forget that’s supposed to be an arc on its own, but yeah, if we count that it wasn’t technically a bad start.

Fishman Island was a bad start but to me it picked up decently with Punk Hazard.

Yes.

I always had Luffy vs Akainu as a lock but now with Imu himself showing up as an arc opponent this early, that prospect has gotten more muddied unless Oda is willing to make Akainu look completely outclassed in a fight. Zoro vs Fujitora is a low chance. Sanji vs Kizaru is like 50/50.

I meant between Zoro and Sanji.

At best the gap is like between Kaku and Jabra, if there even is one.

It matters in that Loki is so big he has trouble tracking the majority of the people he fights in his full zoan form.

I’m moderately excited for Sanji’s fight. He hasn’t really had one since Queen, which was almost 5 years ago lol.

Unless Oda simply forgot in this specific moment this technically happened.

:willight:

Akainu for sure. Personally would like Smoker or Crocodile to show it to justify their growth.

Damn… shit must be real bad when even Lee can no longer find ways to justify the bs lmao.

Those people weren’t very smart at the time. Zoro vs King was set in stone.

Luffy told Summers to remember Zoro's name and Killingham said he will remember Sanji. It's right there in the text.

They were too strong for Zoro I guess.

1. Kid 2. Kid 3. Kid 4. Kid

Dragon/Akainu might be thematic parallels rather than having a personal history. Dragon the ex-marine whose brand of justice is opposing authoritarianism, and Akainu the marine that embodies it. That’s enough setup for a potential fight.

To be fair with Dragon, we could see Zaza use other abilities outside of just pouring rain, like lightning and wind. Mythical Zoans are often bundled with multiple abilities

It's not looking good so far, but the one saving grace is the final act is just getting started. Maybe Usopp could get some defining growth during this section.
