General & Others Luffy's main rival

#41
Kidd is going to be his friend by the end of Wano. Still in competition but no real hate. The moment they met in Udon and the way they interacted showed that they won't fight each other seriously.
Remember that after Wano Kid will most likely turn his attention back to his original target which was Shanks. This could set up future conflict between him and Luffy.

Luffy and BlackBeard rivals? Nah dude.
Luffy has rivals like Trafalgar and Kid. Even tho kid right now is not so impresive, they do indeed try to compete with eath other every time they meet. Same with Tralafgar, even tho you can say that he works for Luffy now, he also is trying to compete with Luffy.
This cant be said about Black beard.
Black beard is just another yonko that Luffy must defeat.
There was never a rivalry between them(only that eating contest, but that was more like a gag, Luffy would try to compete with everyone if its for food).
Luffy was always inferiour to him, and they meet only 2 times. Both times were not in rivalry scenarious.
So yeah, get your bb shit outha here, because for sure he is not a rival of Luffy, he is just an obstacle/enemy.
And yeah BB is from the same „generation„ like Luffy, but lets not forget how this generation started, and that it is based only on the bounties over 100m who were in sabaody at that time, meaning jack shit.
BB is in his 40+ and in the same league as shanks, Shanks is even younger than him. And they are not rivals, BB and shanks are enemies, just like bb and Luffy.
Comparing Luffy with BB, based on the „same generation„ argument isnt a smart move, especialy when it comes to rivalry.
You can argue that they are rivals for one piece, like Luffy and Kaido, but so are the majority of nw pirates. This isnt the point tho.

Blackbeard is luffy's rival. They had interactions in the past, they even clashed and we have seen Blackbeard reacting to Luffy's actions.
However he never gave a fuck about the other members of his generations. He seems to think Luffy one day might be an obstacle.

Law and Kidd are friendly competitors. Law trusts Luffy and Luffy trusts Law, they are like friends. And I'm pretty sure by the end of the arc, Kidd will respect Luffy, and there will be a gap in power between them.

BlackBeard is a rival for one piece, thats all about him.
But so are Kaido, Bm, the other nw pirates. You wont be able to make a full list of „rivals„ if you enter in this discussion.
Just because they clashed once doesnt make bb biggest rival of Luffy.
Luffy had more interaction/ rivalry competions with Kid than BB.
They competed in sabaody, udon, at the start of this raid.
BB and Luffy competed 1 time, in a eating content.... Lol.
Even Trafalgar have more interaction/ contests with Luffy than BB.
Heck even Big Mom have more interaction with luffy(clashes, threats, etc), she is also a rival.
They are all rivals for one piece.
The point of this thread is to see the biggest rival.
Based on that Kid is luffys biggest rival.

Apoo is a monkey, and Hawkins is made of straws... You need to look deeply into this shit :kata: Kid is future rival

Luffy shits on kidd in every way.
You sound like a baby that repeats himself just to convince himself

Kidd literally asked killer if scrap metal is enough against kaido. Scrap metal. Hes a jobber.
You don't even know what he wants to do with hat metal and anyway where is the problem? His DF becomes more efficient with more metal around, seems like you are just hating to me.
You don't even know the full extent of Kidd fruit

And deny the rivalry between the two at this point is delusional. Like you are trying to shit on Oda's portrayal and i'm not gonna lie it's quite ridiculous.

- They are the only SN with CoC
- They are the only confirmed SN with the dream of becoming PK
- They are the only SN with a fellow SN in their crew
- Kidd was the only one who surpassed Luffy bountywise pre-TS
- Kidd is the only one which Oda had planned and has confirmed projects for him
- When Luffy/Law/Zoro alliance formed, Kidd/Apoo/Hawkins/Killer alliance formed too, in both cases giving Luffy and Kidd the leader spot
- Since the first time they were showed fighting together back in Sabaody they showed a parallel fighting style
- Shanks gave an arm for Luffy while took one from Kidd
- They both took something from Big Mom territory
- They were both defeated the same way by Kaido and locked in neighboring cells in Udon
- Without DF they worked at the same pace
- Luffy/Zoro and Kidd/Killer were sent as first line brawlers in Onigashima raid
- They are currently going to meet on 3rd floor and will head together against Kaido
- Similarity of colors

Some of these people are so delusional man. Oda could spell out on a piece of paper that Luffy and Kid are rivals and they would still deny it lol.

Wow the kid disrespect is crazy
He’s heavily underestimated
He has a strong fruit
And oda since his introduction clearly was building him to be luffy’s main rival

teach is luffy’s arcnemesis not rival

a fight between luffy and kid will not be an easy win for luffy like some of you might think

sure he doesn’t have feats now
But he will certainly in the future

Just a question, is your user inspired by this dude?

The term ‘Supernova’ has literally been made irrelevant post timeskip because Oda wanted to emphasise that Blackbeard and Luffy are in the same generation. Hence, “Worst Generation.”

Take Kid out of the story and nothing changes- reflection of how the Supernova were not intended. Take Blackbeard out of the story and everything changes, cause this guy has been planned from the start and is going to be key to the end.

Compare the crews, Kid has Killer as a Zoro analogue. And two guys that have been named in a Databook and have never been focused on in the slightest. Whereas Blackbeard has his Ten Titan Captains who have been built for every Strawhat.

End of the day I doubt Luffy is ever going to fight Kid, making him a rather pathetic rival.

Most pirates even the yonko/rocks subordinates or shichibukai dont compare to the achievements of roger or rocks.
Now you are comparing two different generations of pirates because?....

How is this relevant?
Same for the other nova compared to luffy and teach yet their still gonna reach the top.
Cause Luffy and Blackbeard will clear the way for them. No matter what happens, the rest of the Worst Generation will always be behind those two.
The supernova are gonna be the ones to lead the next generation while teach is taken down with the current either way
When you reach 2nd place because 1st place wiped out all of the competition that would have beaten you, then you are not the rival of 1st place.
To essentially replace the yonko and shichibukai as the big pirates of the next gen
Most of which have already been or will be defeated by Luffy. Luffy is the only reason any of these scrubs will ever advance forwards in their careers.

Hell, the strongest Warlord is going to be defeated by Zoro. That is going to be more than what the majority of Supernovas will ever accomplish.
