Future Events Who will Luffy's "Warm up" fight be against?
- Thread starter Celestial D. Dragon
- Start date
Big Mom is no warm-up fight.
Despite Oda loving to use her for gag moments, he has always (!) portrayed her as an equal to Kaido in terms of fighting capability.
He has literally been hammering home this point by having multiple characters - even beast pirates - state that "she's on par with Kaido".
Hell, he even had Kaido and BM fight equally for an entire night.

Yet this arc is a little different from the others, his welcome fight in WCI was Cracker and he indeed demonstrated he could now deal with Doffy level fighters without much difficulties aka he was ready to try something stronger aka Katakuri. But his welcome fight in Wano has been Kaido, he got demolished and recognized he needed to train and indeed we were feed with Luffy training, one way or another, since Udon aka the next chapter after Kaido one shot him.
Also now Luffy clearly stated that he is going for Kaido to the top of the dome befire being stopped by BM. King is completely out of his way, Luffy is not looking for King and viceversa and also their targets are different: one is looking for Kaido the other to secure Momo/get rid of Sanji. And, this was stated when Zoro carried away Luffy after Apoo first attacked them, they can not take too much damage before their fight and if Luffy fights King then there is no way he after that has even the strength to put up a good fight vs Kaido even as part of a team (if we exclude gargantuan levels of plot armor). And finally Luffy is already eating tons of space, if now he also steals King, or even just Jack or Queen from characters like Sanji, who had his last proper 1 vs 1 in Thriller bark (13 years ago) or even Zoro who has Pica 2 arcs ago or Jinbe who needs space too as the new SH that is too much from Oda.

We'll have to wait that Oda makes Luffy serious. He's been stalling strong characters from the alliance since the beginning of the raid.
Like seriously, Law is walking around doing nothing.
Kidd and Zoro are fighting fucking gifters and are taking their time to take them down when later in the arc they will fight guys who would take 1 minute to wipe the floor with these gifters.
Luffy has done nothing except running around and talking to Yamato.
Oda wants the scabbards to have the first piece of action, but tbh it doesn't mean he should stall others.
Let Luffy fight Big Mom, he's in front of her, at some point he has to stop threatening her and do something instead of dodging.
Or give him a calamity or a Tobi Roppo.

At this rate, Oda will keep treating her as gag, as long as necessary. As seen over and over again, he doesn't give a shit about her status of being an Emperor. And don't forget her second personatility, which I can easily see being abused as plot tool again by Oda...It's a shame to think that a character like her which should stand next to Kaido, is less of a threat than his strongest subordinate.
King is more intimidating than her right now, just like Katakuri was at the wedding of Sanji and Pudding, let that sink in.

And Jack is standing in the way saying no one else is touching Kaido
Luffy said he was going to beat Jack up for what he did to minks, a quick one shot to show his superiority would do nicely

Luffy defeating Jack is very anticlimactic, the minks who should do that.
Luffy can cause damage to the jack or something to show the efficiency of his technique but he will not get to defeat him, it is my opinion.
i'm not sure if we call this a warm up, Luffy can one shot 1 of numbers with ACoA / G3 / G4, like one shot giant at Marineford with G3
Then he'll just straight to Kaido, although there are obstacles to reach Kaido.
Dont count BM i think. BM can go O-lin again after Franky's love. Law can switch BM soul with some char so BM'll get pummeled. Or another Jokes...

Luffy is already above commander level characters, so he won't have a warm-up per say.
He'll fight BM tho, the new opening implies that (they got some credibility because of the Denjiro stuff), however no clue whether he's defeating her or not. She'll probably team-up with Kaido at some point then they all fight
