Character Discussion Post-TS Luffy has been a fake underdog

[Gaimon The Pirate]

Luffy was never the underdog.

THe first 10 volumes he trashes veteran pirates in the sea, the first enemy is a giant Lor D Coast.
Whoever says that Luffy is an underdog has clearly poor understanding of One Piece.
Until Crocodile he never lost a fight, and until Aokiji he never actually lost a fight to the end.

exactly luffy was already strong enough to break through bedrock. Physical strength wise luffy can already compete with the Shichibukai and admirals but the only thing he lack was haki if he had that smoker would've been defeated back in lougetown.

I mean now we know he has a god tier DF Im unable to call him underdog at all

Hahah and he will continue to be underestimated.
It was ok until he beat Doffy; at that point he should have been taken seriously but noooo he still got treated as a rookie xD
BM never took him seriously and sent Cracker wahahahah then he meets Katakuri who literally said he would take him seriously only to go into his merienda after one random mochi attack wahahahah
Luffy then arrives in Wano and gets underestimated by practically everyone including Batman wahahahahahahh
You would think that after beating Kaido he will be feared by everyone including Blackbeard (he beat the unbeatable right ?) but not at all, he will be underestimated by the fodderest of fodder in BB crew.

Luffy was never an underdog though. Maybe oda die try to sell like that at certain points. But he was never an underdog.

What do you expect the world strongest to be? Whitebeard was a 10 meter tall giant with muscles and earth quake powers. Luffy is some skinny ass 19 year old with a hat. Of course everyone thinks they can kick his ass.

Fans act like he's the only rookie who has been underestimated that he should be declared an underdog.

it was particularly bad when greenbull strolled to go in and capture him in the presence of his crew
yet chose to back off with shanks and his crew
something def felt off in that whole scene . esp when you consider the fact that the world government almost allowed kaido to murder luffy just so he wouldnt awaken his fruit.

Oda and his inconsistent writng...he still wants to keep Luffy as an underdog...and he will make Luffy job to random ass fodders to further make him look like a underdog...he could have simply have Luffy opponent very strong if he wants to Luffy look underdog...I don't know what's wrong with Luffy getting equal portrayal in terms of other top tiers at this point....it's not like being equal doesn't guarantee you win...both equals had 11 day fight to decide the winner (Akainu vs Aokiji)...

With this logic, Shanks should be laughed at anywhere he goes right ? The dude looks like a hobo with one arm

Oda: I want Luffy to have contemporaries

Also Oda: Luffy needs to be leagues above anybody around him

An East Blue mountain bandit is not comparable to a Yonko crew member, what kind of example is this ?
What's next, lord of the coast ?

My point is that Luffy doesn't look the part of being world strongest. Even Roger was kinda a giant too and had muscles. Luffy is small and not very muscular. Luffy smiles and is friendly and not very controlling. In a sense he doesn't appear very dangerous but he is.

I understood your point and I'm saying it doesn't make sense when you have the likes of Kaido, BM and WB hyping Shanks or Mihawk who are dwarfs in comparison to them which means they know that size doesn't matter but it matters when it is Luffy somehow !
Why didn't BM take him seriously when she knew he beat Doflamingo ?
Why didn't Kaido take him seriously when he knows he beat Katakuri ? Hell why didn't Queen take him seriously ?

 

[NAMELESS]

Also,it would be bad to have Luffy just arrive and not strong to beat YC level fighters.I liked Doffy,Cracker and Katakuri fights.Losing 4 times against the strongest pirate makes sense.Those PU had a built up to them,even COC.The only twist was the nika awakening pu.I only want Luffy to dominate Akainu.He should struggle vs BB and Imu.

Weevil,Crocodile and any CP0 should get asswhopped with no diff by current Luffy.
