General & Others One Piece Best Battle

[Light D Lamperouge]

Which fight did you enjoy the most? Which fight was the best? Which fight had the best choreography?

I'll put up a poll with some battles, but you are free to discuss other fights as well.
You can post a panel with a defining moment of the battle, or the moment you enjoyed the most, etc

These are off the top of my head, so I might have forgotten a few, I apologize for that in advance.

I’ve long said Enies Lobby is my favorite arc, and the culmination of Luffy vs Lucci has to correspondingly be my favorite fight in this series. This was Luffy’s first fight against an opponent that wasn’t directly trying to control other people or gain something from their losses; he was a bloodthirsty maniac with the power to kill with impunity and a license to do so from the government. He knew Rokushiki, had a Devil Fruit most conducive to his homicidal tendencies, and wanted nothing more than to tear the Straw Hat apart. Overcoming this obstacle was such a monumental moment for Luffy, and it proved he was indeed ready to face all imminent challenges on the way to becoming Pirate King. Very interested to see how Lucci re-enters their journey as it draws to a close, and if we’ll ever get a rematch between these two titans.

Voted for Luffy vs Lucci : best total fight (stakes, fight, abilities etc), Ace vs BB : best hype fight back then and great build up and Kizaru vs SN : best trolling and stomping fight.

An other very good one and one of my favorite is the Straw hats vs Oars. Originality, fun, choreography etc

 

[Chrono]

Where Sanji vs Kuroobi and Absaldom. And Sanji vs Wanze is like one of the most underrated Sanji fights. Its such a good fight.



My all time favourite is Luffy vs Lucci. I dont think anything will ever top it. Perhaps the Calamities fights will....maybe. I dont think Luffy vs Kaido will be all that fun tbh. I might be wrong tho.

 

[KiriNigiri]

The Alabasta fights are my favorite fights for the Monster Trio, so I voted those for them.

I liked what little we saw of Ace vs Teach. It's pretty rare we get that much elaboration on a non-main character fight.

Rayleigh vs Kizaru just for Rayleigh's god tier entrance.

 

[bluefire12]

Pedro vs Tamago
Kyros vs Diamante
Luffy vs Blueno

 

[straightforward]

eh, usopp vs perona obviously

 

[Veku]

Luffy vs Lucci was the absolute best fight.
Choreography, tension, artstyle, emotional investment, build up, everything was on point.

 

[bluefire12]

Also the small fight Diamante and Sabo had

 

[Relapse]

Law Vs Smoker.

So under-rated.

 

[Kejon]

WB vs Akainu was amazing. Seeing how WB easily destroyed Akainu to oblivion was great.

Ace vs Teach was also good, but the fight really didn't last long.

Luffy vs Lucci is by far the best fight in the series. No doubt about it. The choreography was astonishing.

Also Big Mom vs Queen actually wasn't even a fight. Big Mom one shotted him.

Ace vs Teach was good. But in reality that fight showed us Teachs desperate plea to become a Supernova and something. Without that fruit, Teach wouldnt exist and One Piece wouldnt be half the series it is.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Mr. Vergo vs Sanji
Daz Bones vs Zoro
Doffy vs Luffy

I liked the first because it’s a battle without plot armor. It’s quick, martial and leaves some damage afterwards. Daz Bones v. Zoro was a good blend of decent action, emotional stakes and growth. And Doffy v. Luffy has good stakes and was entertaining but it’s choreography coulda been better.

OP doesn’t really do fights well from an aesthetic standpoint though. They’re usually fun to read because of the emotional build up or they fall completely flat (Kamazou vs Zoro for example).


Nothing like Grimmjow v. Ichigo round 3 or Deidara v, Sasuke, or Sasuke v. Danzo.

 

[Shura]

Luffy vs Lucci is the best ever fight I have seen in OP
then Luffy vs Katakuri/Zoro vs Mr. 1/Sanji vs M2/Ace vs Blackbeard.....

surprisingly where was Akainu vs Aokiji??

 

[Finalbeta]

1. Akainu vs Whitebeard
2. Zoro vs Kaku
3. Luffy vs Doflamingo

Just my personal top 3 of course

 

[trav]

Luffy vs Lucci had the best balance.
Lucci having a slight edge ovee base Luffy.
G2 Luffy having a slight edge over Lucci.

the Enel fight was good up until the cut.

my favorite is Zoro vs Ryuma though. I am not a huge fan of overly long fights.

 

[SHIHI]

Lucci vs Luffy. The tension, the stakes, you could feel that everything was on the line.

Katakuri vs Luffy, Luffy Actually escaped the Mirror world and left Kata stuck in there.

Doffy vs Luffy, there was actually alot of guys available to arrest Doffy if Luffy failed.

but with Lucci, there is no failing option, he loses = his friends die.

 

[Lion of Olympus]

Luffy Vs Lucci

Zoro Vs Kuma

Sanji Vs Jyabra and Vergo

 

[ZenZu]

Easily Luffy vs Katakuri especially in terms of raw choreography. The storyboarding and angles for this fight were really on another level. No One Piece fight comes close imo, most of the other great fights are too short to be called more than skirmishes.

Rest of the fights are more just epic moments rather than wholesome action sequences. Luffy vs Lucci had the crown before.

Also helps when the best animated episode in the entire series was Snakeman vs Katakuri. That episode is in a league of its own, makes everything else look like chump change.

 

[Cherry Hilk]

Straw hats vs Odr:
My number one fight bar none. The idea behind it it’s simple: The whole freaking crew dishing out all its arsenal against what’s pretty much a 10 times stronger version of Luffy. The result? Absolutely dope.

Luffy vs Lucci:
Hands down the best 1 vs 1.
From every point of view. The choreography, the sheer emotions, the Blood, the raw and graphic violence.
Perfect from almost every point of view

Luffy and Law vs Doflamingo and Trebol:
Not much for the choreography, but because it showcased a prefect timing for its key moments and because it was a battle won through the collective efforts of pretty much all the people involved in the arc.
It has some of the most iconic and impactful fighting scenes in One Piece (Law/Luffy combos, gamma knife, Luffy blocking Doflamingo’s foot before he can kill Law, G4 overwhelming Doffy and King Kong Gun) too.

Zoro vs Mr 1: Bloody, violent and still manage to be poetic.

Sanji vs Jabura: That’s simply as badass as Sanji can get.

Usopp and Chopper vs Mr 4 and Miss merry Christmas:
The proof that not only the usual three can give us entertaining and compelling fights.

I’m excluding Luffy vs Katakuri/Crocodile simply because they alternate greatness to idiotic writing.
Are obviously just right behind those anyway.

honorable mentions:
Kyros vs Diamante, Luffy vs Wiper, Everyone vs Ener, Blackbeard vs Ace, Zoro vs Kuma, Luffy vs Arlong.
