Isn't doflamingo too strong for luffy & law right now? He tanked one of luffy's strongest attack and made it look like it didn't hurt him. Law got beat fairly easily as well. Unless the others help luffy I don't see luffy beating him on his own.

I think they're almost equals. Doflamingo might be a little bit stronger, tho, Im not sure.

1- Doflamingo was always besting him in plot induced stupidity moments. Oda created a scenario where Luffy can't fight at full strength because he worries about Bellamy too much. He never really went full force on Doflamingo yet

2- We never saw Luffy going all out. Stipulating on what he can or can't do now is stupid

3- Villains are always meant to look strong only to be defeated later, just like with Crocodile, just like with Enel, just like with Rob Lucci's first introduction where he completely fodderized both Luffy and Zoro. Guess who still won in the end? Law injured Doflamingo with injection shot. Most likely Oda will use that to weaken Doflamingo to the point Luffy can beat him. So chill

IMO there's going to be an intervention by a 'Big-shot'...
Either Sabo or any of the Yonko...

I thought I was the only person on here who knew what that mean while discussing vs threads and feats.
Ex: Killer Bee (new character) vs Sasuke (ole part 1 character) .. like you're not going to let a old character beat down such a newly and fresh character, or to mess up the story line.

But same goes for main character's defeating the strongest enemy.

Red Hawk is not luffy's strongest attack. Red Hawk Gatling is, and unless Dofla can tank that. He is weak.

1. Makes no sense. Luffy has fought countless opponents who've harmed his friends, and it never stopped him from fighting effectively. Luffy's mindstate is no different than the mindstate he's had against other villains when he's defeated them. He's always a reckless fighter who lets his anger fuel him, letting his monstrous endurance aid him as he charges in. If this didn't stop him before, it's not stopping him now. You're taking his mindstate towards Bellamy, and applying it to Doflamingo as well. Luffy has been going full force on Doflamingo, he's not pulling any punches on Doffy himself. He just hasn't gotten enough of them in yet to physically impose on Doffy.

2. The Noah

3. Injection Shot actually looks like, for now, that it did less damage than Red Hawk, which was superfluous to Doflamingo. Chances are, unless Injection Shot has some delayed effect, it isn't doing much to weaken Doffy to Luffy's level.

BS I wouldn't like Luffy to beat Doffy by himself v_v

He should either beat him with the help of Law, or beat him via some kind of handicap (Law's injection shot effect). By portrayal Doflamingo is too strong so it would be kinda unfair for Luffy to go super saiyan and beast him IMO.

Doflamingo did not tank Red Hawk, it sent him flying on his ass with a burn mark on his lower stomach.

Even Hody was hit with Red Hawk and he kept on fighting too.

Since the arc is slowly wrapping up, Doflamingo didn't get a series of rounds with Luffy.

In fact he was avoiding him everytime, so with that in mind his solo fight with Doflamingo will lead to his victory after every officier is defeated.

All of them are out except for the elite seated officers Pica, Trebol, and Diamanté.

The blow was deemed superfluous, meaning the damage it did was close to nothing. He might as well had tanked it.

we've seen his destructive power but haven't yet seen him fighting all out

Luffy's fighting is throwing his destructive power. We haven't seen the full extent of his new speed and endurance, but his durability and strength we have.

With what he has shown, he can't beat DD alone. Unless he figured out a new function of kings Haki or showing a new gear. Hes going to get help.

Luffy didn't combine gear second with gear third yet, something he could already do pretimeskip, so no, i disagree with the notion we've seen him going all out
