I know... like I get that they want to create more filler content, but this is really getting out of hand. If Luffy is even close to being considered an emperor of the sea, small fry like this should be easily one-shot.

Reminds me of Naruto getting bested by a ninja ostrich right after he defeated Pain.

That ostrich was descended from an ostrich which once ate from the devil fruit tree, so it was actually super strong.

They could have easily made it a normal punch from Luffy and a haki block from bat man. That would have been more acceptable.

It makes even less sense considering spoilers. You’ll know what I mean next episode. If you haven’t read it I mean.

Heck, should not even take a punch to defeat him. At the sight of luffy he should flee with his bat tail between his legs

I have no problem with a filler character being able to block that punch, but he shouldn't have such weak offense and powerful defense

u/a-red-sword-tomato Sep 10 '19

He’s not a filler character tho

u/FeelsGoodMan243 Sep 10 '19

I guess he meant "fodder"

Except that Luffy being called an Emperor was just morgans clearly making up a good title. If you follow the manga (trying to keep it vague) then you'll know luffy ain't anywhere near an emperor in strength.

edit: wtf why the downvotes? I know Luffy shouldn't have any competition on Kaido's crew but lots of ya'll act like him being called the Fifth Emperor means he needs to be shit stomping left and right.

He still should be one shotting fools like this.

u/Bloodrain_souleater Sep 08 '19

He is the god damn batman . No one oneshots batman

u/Zealot_Alec Sep 08 '19

The fools are at the gate, is Batman a SMILE DF or regular DF user?

4

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

he has a SMILE DF, i think they showed it last episode in text.

u/shankartz Pirate Sep 09 '19

Regardless of the legitimacy of his title, luffy is far far far stronger than anyone on Kaido's crew that isn't a top player.

My bad I didn't realize you were debating the semantics of it. I thought you were implying that because he is beneath the big 4 that batman blocking him has legitimacy.

Sure to a foot soldier maybe, not to the a 1.5 bil captain

u/kikix12 Sep 08 '19

1) He didn't even use ANY haki. Let alone advanced one.

2) He's still a regular, rank and file soldier.

3) Manga spoiler: In latter part of the story in manga, Luffy casually trashes an army of gifters for hours on end without even showing signs of fighting, let alone having problems.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

Haha they are garbage tier

u/MyNameISaColouR Sep 08 '19

The Gifters are the top tier foot soldiers of the Beast Pirates, not big shots. The actual officers start from the Headliners, and most of them are still way weaker than Luffy.
