I can't view any hype for this
After G5, Luffy's fights really falled.
3 years ago, Luffy vs Akainu or Luffy vs Shanks would be soo hype, but after G5 and Kizaru's treatment, i'm worried about Papazuki and Snitch and Fatbeard.
Me too in a way, but I guess it largely depends on how they are handled. Each of these 3 definitely have advantages considering their powers:
- Unlike Kizaru, Akainu is absolutely lethal, to the point where if Luffy is not careful, he can be scarred or maimed in an instant. This to me would require absolute control of AdCoC, because he quite literally cant physically touch Akainu (remember haki just makes logias tangible, not nullify their DF powers (see Caesar and how he turned to gas while Luffy grabbed him).
- Blackbeard has the benefit of Yami Yami no mi. Where he 100% can just cancel Luffy's powers, meaning no more Nika if he's touched by him. This will absolutely happen and I expect this fight to be more serious because of it. Then add the the Quake powers and possibly whatever 3rd power he is speculated to have
- Shanks just has overwhelming haki, to the point where we probably can assume that while Haki cant cancel out DF powers (see my point above with Akainu, Luffy will get hurt easily), it likely can counteract the silly shit Luffy does to people like rubberizing them. I think Kaido's message about Roger and Haki trumping allis pretty noteworthy considering Shanks is pretty much Roger-Lite
