This "Luffy is weak to swords" shit is the lamest argument I've heard as to why he'd lose against Shanks or Mihawk. Everyone is susceptible to slashes, and Luffy's weakness to it is only highlighted because he's immune to haki-less blunt damage. That doesn't stop him from using haki of his own in the form of ryuo or CoC coating to block/parry slash attacks (we literally see him doing this in base form in Chapter 1037).

Kaido uses a club and Big Mom uses a sword, but did we see Big Mom overpower Kaido because she had a sword? What about Roger and Garp and their numerous duels? Why didn't Roger beat Garp way earlier if swordsmen are so great?

This is just an issue that happens in cartoons, slicing atacks are too hax basically, if he Luffy got sliced in half in normal world/cartoonland logic he would die.

But if he gets hit with blunt atacks he can by cartoon logic be fine. The smacks he got from Kaido would kill anyone because it has massive spikes on them, but you're kinda just supose to ignore it.


It's the reason why Luffy never fights someone that excusively uses slizing/priecing atacks. He couldn't get it or it would be game over.

With conq Haki now, noone of that matters tho

Basically it's why zoro had to be the one to fight mr1 at the time since both sanji and luffy were by default losing to him while zoro at that time would have lost to Crocodile unless he placed blood on his blades

Yeah it's always an issue, Samurai Jack, would always slice oponents that we're robots so it was fine, whilst never slicing living people obviously lol
 
on a more serious note I really hate what oda did to Drake. And even smoker. Sigh.

So gents what powerups can oda still give both smoker and Drake or what power upside should he have given them in the first place so they would relevant

Coby: regular coc, all 7 rounoshiki techniques, advanced ryou, advanced observation (not future sight) and life return.

Helmeppo: 6 rokoushiki techniques, basic observation and regular armament hardening, boomerangs blades, fencing, blade throwing blades, sccizor blades,

Drake:?

I mean Crocodile got he most BS upgrade to be worth about 2B but he had the excuse of 2 years (which is nothing)

Smoker was losing to Vergo some weeks ago (story wise) so..
