Speculations Will Pranks destroy Luffy?

Wasn’t this after he murdered his best friend?

Decent chance the reason Oda is sending Zoro is so that there’s someone to save Luffy when he gets wrecked.

That’s always what Zoro does. See: the roof fight.

Nah

We were shown in a 1v1, Luffy ~ Kizaru.

Meaning he’s likely a level below Akainu, Shanks, and other high tops.
What I mean is that Luffy will lose due to G5 time limit. Unlimited G5 are very close to shanks.

I extremely doubt Shank’s Doppleganger is that strong. If he’s a clone then he might potentially be a top tier but even then what makes the original Shanks so filthy is his Haki.

Can defo see Luffy taking a critical hit from him though thinking he’s actually Shanks and letting his guard down. If the Holy Knights are going to be the big bads of this arc then they will have to go bring Garling with them at some point. No way those two alone are a threat to a combination of Luffy, Zoro & Loki much less the SHs as a whole & Elbaf to boot.

What do you think of Garling's and Pranks' power lvl?

I'm skeptical of Garling being a top tier before joining Gorosei, cause the dude had defeated nothing but fodders.
Same.
I think Garling now Is a top tier for sure because of Gorosei's power. Pranks idk, I think he Is at least old Legend level but more than that It's a toss up. Oda can push him to toer tier though.

All of Elbaf is Luffy’s ally

Loki is refusing to join Pranks, meaning he might end up as one of Luffy’s allies.

Hence Pranks needs to be such a threat that even with all of elbaf and possibly Loki on his side, Luffy still struggles.

What this means is Pranks will likely be much stronger than Luffy. Possibly a PK tier threat. He is after all, a two armed Shanks who might possess DF powers.

I think this makes sense. If Luffy is to meet Shanks next arc, as is hinted, he will need to be PK level. He did promise to return the hat when he was a great pirate, and even being yonko didn’t make Shanks wish to see Luffy.

Ultimately I think it’s very possible that Luffy gets destroyed in his first encounter with Pranks. Oda tends to use Kid to hype Luffy’s future opponents. First Kid got destroyed by Kaido, then so did Luffy. Kid losing to Shanks could very well foreshadow what’s to come when Luffy meets Pranks.
Shit writing, Luffy has come a very long way since Kaido destroyed him in Act 1 and having Yonko status is supposed to mean something

It's true, Pranks will destroy Luffy, and Zoro steps in to save him
Not because Pranks is that strong, but Luffy will be in shock seeing his idolo beating the living crap out of him instead of giving him a hug

Sengoku saved himself + Shanks quite literally , I mean he can’t handle shanks because he can’t handle pre-Ts Luffy
"Can't handle" Ironic Lmao
:gokulaugh:
Prime overwanked red bitch had the pre ts hakiless Luffy in his face and didn't do shit. He's so slow that he would need another admiral to tag Luffy or have Luffy be unconscious or trick someone into stabbing him first

Oh you wanna bring up Luffy now? That’s not a good luck because that’s the entire reason why sengoku gets shitted on.

Depends on how it happens, Pranks trick Luffy into thinking he's Shanks and catch him off-guard? Maybe.

In a direct confrontation without trickery? Nah, Pranks would need to be at a level where he neg diffs Shanks to have any hope of destroying Shanks superior, Luffy.

Not Loki.

Loki is refusing to join Pranks, meaning he might end up as one of Luffy’s allies.
The enemy of my enemy is NOT necessarily my friend. Loki could be a third faction on his own against both Elbaf + Luffy AND Pranks.

He is after all, a two armed Shanks who might possess DF powers.
No evidence in the manga proves Pranks is two armed at all. He is STILL wearing the hooded cloak covering his whole body. Don't jump to conclusions.

I think this makes sense. If Luffy is to meet Shanks next arc, as is hinted, he will need to be PK level.
There is no such thing as "PK level". Only top tiers (yonkos, admirals, etc...) and Roger, WB, and Shanks all belong to that same tier.

Ultimately I think it’s very possible that Luffy gets destroyed in his first encounter with Pranks.
More like a mental destruction, seeing an impostor of his beloved idol doing evil shit. Luffy doesn't need to be used as a POWER hypetool every arc, especially after he got G5 (so called "peak of his power")
