[Discussion] Do you think Luffy will ever lose?

[Donald J Trump]

Do you guys think that Luffy will ever lose a fight post timeskip? I mean, if he was to lose, that would probably set up another timeskip training arc, which I don't believe Oda wants to do.

If you remember a statement from whole back, it was estimated that One piece was 65/70% completed, I don't believe that this leaves enough time for another timeskip when you consider the things that have to happen. There is still so much we have to cover. So many fights to see and backstories.

I think personally that from this point on Luffy has plot armor and will never lose.

 

[Greatness23]

yes, if he fights a yonko he will get smacked.

 

[Dgrayman]

Luffy has lost before so why not again, oda is not like kishimoto the mc doesnt win everytime

 

[Relostar Devil]

Of course not otherwise katakuri would have killed him...

Post skip probably not or it would kind of take away fro when Oda had his MC sate that he won't lose again but that doesn't mean it won't happen. If/when he loses it'll be like the Croc loss where he loses a battle but wins the war.

'I don't believe that this leaves enough time for another timeskip'

time is an abstraction especially in a manga, they could skip any progression within the skip hence the word skip. but no i dont think he will,

 

[Uverdore9]

Luffy'll win. There would not be an extraterrestrial time-skip so he'll keep winning; as there's no plot of recuperation.

 

[Uzumaki Macho]

He already lost to BM, and he lost in round 1 against Katakuri.

He did against Big mam by fleeing. After he defeated Dogtooth he promised to comeback to defeat Linlin so he already excepted his lost to the Yonkou.
Luffy will lose again against Kaido too I'm sure

This is true but I rather think he will beat Kaido, but it wont be for A LONG while and he will NOT fight alone. he will likely be fighting with Law, and i think another unseen captain or a supernova that they ally with and help to bring him down

That might be so. But does it have to be time-skip? Is time-skip the solution to everything? Between arcs, Luffy does training. These small training are just bits of time-skip like days to a week or two. There is a year ahead of us where all StrawHats will be off-panel. Something interesting on their side might happen after "The Reverie"

 

[kiiro]

He wont lose. He took one fight to be Commander level. Next fight he would be Yonko level.

 

[TheNuetrix]

He'll lose when the plot needs him to, he'll win when plot needs him to, he'll asspull when the plot needs him to and he'll eat all the meat regardless of plot. Why? because he's Luffy.

Hopefully kidd would aid in that fight. A little sabody arc team work for nostalgic reasons if it ever came to that.

Yeah i always though that Luffy-Law-Kid team up was a foreshadow for a future battle. If that's the case, then we'll more than likely see that happen at Wano.

Yes that exactly. I want that to happen but first luffy needs to train under some ninja to increase his haki level or find some type of enlightenment to awaken his devil fruit while Zoro and Law train with some OG samurai.

That would be ideal for me.

 

[Tomato God]

He lost several fights this arc. Just not ones he couldn't recover from

 

[BusinessManTeno]

if you are speaking combat wise. He already lost to dogtooth.
and technically he lost to bm army when he got caught

if you are speaking like in the grand scheme of it actually effecting the major story.. Nah
like with dogtooth hes likely gonna learn through combat from here on out

Pretty much this... Now that we've seen him attain Katakuri's level of observation (not at the same level of course), we should see him get the same reputation he had, "the undefeated, never laid on his back.." and all that jazz. He should only really lose due to goofyness, battles like this where he eventually comes out on top having learned something new OR a yonkou stomps him hard.
