Future Events Who will Luffy's "Warm up" fight be against?

[MarineHQ]

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.

Agreed. There's little to none emotional weight on letting Luffy clap someone we know he's stronger against.

 

[Awakening_coming]

the only "warm up" i see is Oda showed us luffy new ryuo technique.

Then it's BM, he failed to use Ryou back at Udon, I can see Oda maing him use it sucessfully on her now

yes oda will only show us what is his ryuo capable of to big mom.
big meme here we go again.

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

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.

Actually an admiral holding her off is her regaining some dignity and face compared to being drove over by Franky or getting reduced to amnesia old hag once again, I'm suggesting a solution and a face off that is better than most other scenario that excludes the admirals

 

[Paperchampion23]

Definitely against one of the calamities. He claimed against Jack at one point, but also has beef with Queen.

Pretty sure Marco or Kid are going to take out King at this point. Perhaps Law takes on Jack if Luffy doesn't or the Minks don't win.

Actually starting to really believe Zoro vs. WW, Jinbe vs Sasaki, Sanji vs Drake or P1 now, especially because Ulti is keeping Yamato busy and many people were considering her/him of a similar caliber. Perhaps Chopper vs P1 if Sanji really did win previously. Nami or Robin vs Black Maria. The other fighting Fukurokuju. Brook vs. Hotei.

Franky and Usopp vs. All of the Numbers eventually considering how well they work as a team.


Eventually everyone will fight Kaido/BM or many of them will, but Luffy will defeat one or both of them. Kid may defeat the other. Zoro will land a big strike in Kaido because its foreshadowed.


There you go:D

Absolutely no one. The story showed through Apoo,Ulti and Page One that every single enemy of this arc is way too powerful to be Luffy's warm-up.

Luffy's warm-up fight on WCI was Cracker, who is way stronger than any of those characters. Luffy is way stronger than he is now,, than he was against Cracker, and that's my whole point. Don't mistake Oda giving Ulti, Page one, and Apoo some hype at Luffy's expense as any of them standing a sliver of a chance against him in an actual 1 v 1 fight. Luffy goes G4 against any of them and it's a baby shake, and this is without Future Sight and Advanced Armament.

I thought luffy's warm up was kaido when he got neg diff, so he should go straight to kaido or maybe can land some solid shot on Jack if his in the way.

Brook vs. Hotei

I'm down for this

 

[Garp the Fist]

There's too many good guys and not enough bad guys for a warm up fight. Luffy's already beaten Cracker and Katakuri. Him beating a YC is completely redundant unless he's to completely wreck them, which is just a waste of a character.

But there is too many OP bad guys in comparison to good guys though. The Marines were stacked during Marineford against just one Yonko. The alliance is trying to take on two at the same time, which doesn't bode well for them.

If I thought Big Mom was going to be defeated in a traditional way I'd agree, but I'm almost certain she's going to get another heavy whack to the head and turn into O-Lin instead. And that her crew aren't going to play a big role.

Starting to be in this mindset too. I think its more likely her crew ends up being allies due to Katakuri and Puddinf in the future. We'll see. None of them have done exactly anything irredeemable as a crew, except BM.

Vice Captain Zoro will lead the straw hats in a straw hats vs Oars style fight against BM and he will land the finishing blow with Asura.

Luffy will lead a bunch of guys against Kaido and land the finishing blow against him G5.

Sanji will deal with King. Other supernova will either deal with Queen and Jack or help with Kaido.

Marco will have some kind of supporting role, maybe helping Sanji with King (though I hope Sanji 1v1s him) or maybe helping Luffy with Kaido)

Well we could see Smoothie and the others fight the marines if they really come to Wano to stall them from coming after their mother and whoever she is currently friendly or allied with while Perospero could have a role into ending the alliance with Kaido.

Even if Oda somehow removes Big Mom from the equation via some other means, one Yonko is still too much in comparison to what the Alliance has. The trump card of the Minks are about to be completely wasted on trying to deal with just Kaido and Jack. The form doesn't last long, and it's being used in the very beginning of the fight against a fresh Yonko and Yonko commander. The scabbards and minks will most likely be done after this encounter. Kaido nor any of the Calamities have even shown a fraction of their strength yet. Kaido, the Calamities and Tobi Roppo are all Zoans with insane amounts of durability, who won't be put down easily, even by legit high/top tiers. Luffy and Marco are the only two characters on the alliance side that are known to be on the the level of the Yonko Commanders, forget Kaido himself. The odds still heavily favor the beast pirates, even without the BM pirates.

It would be nice if he went against BM to be honest I really hope she will trigger his awakening

The odds are meant to favour the Beast Pirates. That doesn't mean we need to waste a villain on a pointless fight with Luffy where we already knew going into the arc he could win, let alone now that he's trained and gotten stronger in the middle of it.

From our standpoint, that could be the case. But it doesn't take away from the fact that, that is what Oda typically likes to do when it comes to Luffy. Of course he could go a different route. But the purpose here is if Oda does decide to give Luffy a warm-up fight, who do people think it would be, and why.

Yes,they could. The talk that "Is impossible Luffy lose for some character that isn't Boss Villain Level." is nothing but a thought of his toxic fanboys.
Using as example,Teach,during his talking with Bonney,revealed that even his first four crewmates were far above the Worst Generation Captains in power before Time-Skip. Which means,Doc Q,Burgess and Van Augur,all them could defeat Luffy easily in Jaya and Impel Down if they wanted so,and still can do currently.

You're feeding way too much into hype. Ulti, P1 and Apoo stand about as much of a chance of beating Luffy in a serious 1v1 fight as Don Chinjao did. Apoo might fair somewhat better as he does have some hax to him, but that could only get him so far. Kidd proved that pretty clearly.
