Didn't Luffy pass out and needed to be rescued by Robin during the Third Round vs Crocodile?
Perhaps Luffy will be defeated again and need to be rescued by Yamato.
Luffy lost to Crocodile thrice, and if you count him running out off haki, he has already lost to Kaido 4 times. Losing to Kaido 5 times is fine I guess, he is supposed to be a more formidable threat than Crocodile after all.
(
@Salah WG please correct me if I'm wrong).
Yes, Luffy lost against Crocodile Thrice, but imo i think it's better to count Rounds based on Location & not Defeats
Round 01 = Sand Fight = Kuri Fight = Luffy got One-Shot after Villain allowed him to Deliver Free Attacks
Round 02 = Palace Fight = Roof Fight = Luffy Discovered how to Harm Them & gave them Short Beating but got Defeated & Thrown once Villain got Serious
So now, we should be going to Round 03 which will happen somewhere else.
Between Crocodile's Round 2 & 3, all of these Happened:
1. Crocodile going somewhere to Secure Something Important
2. He also had some Moment with Cobra (Main Abused Leader of the Arc)
3. Robin tried to Rebel & Fight him but Lost & he almost Killed her
4. Luffy survived the Fall thanks to Pure Luck
5. Luffy learned an Alternate More Accessible Way to Harm Crocodile (Blood)
6. Luffy slept & was out for some time leaving room for other's Fights
So imo, next in Wano, we will have:
1. Luffy surviving the Fall purely thanks to Luck, so imo he will Fall on Onigashima Horn that Zoro Cut or the Debris that fell from Hakai or on Caribou's Ship or BM Pirates Ship ... etc
2. Luffy is very tired & rests so we will have Chapters that focus on other Straw Hats Fight
3. Kaido vs Yamato where Kaido declares that she isn't his Daughter anymore & he tries to kill her
4. Kaido capturing Momo & getting his hands on Oden's Notebook
5. Kaido Round 3 will happen in a New Location/Room that wasn't shown before
