Man, it's fucking great seeing the Straw Hats and Luffy being this powerful and influential.
After watching them get their asses handed to them in Sabaody and Luffy in Marineford, it's crazy watching Luffy fight Kizaru as equals.
and Zoro, who got his ass handed by Lucci pre-ts, fighting a stronger version of the same character and being able to send him flying and talk trash to him lmao
and we still got our beasts Sanji and Jinbei to fight whoever shows up.
Great feeling of progression, one of the best things from having returning villains who used to be huge obstacles to our main characters.
Can't wait for Zoro vs Mihawk one day.
