They are not on different levels. Law, Luffy and Zoro are on same table with Luffy being slightly above Law who's followed by Zoro. You can't deny the fact that Luffy is no match for Joker if it isn't for the wounds inflected by Law. So Luffy defeating Joker won't really put him a level above Law.
-> I didn't say Luffy was a match for healthy Joker. I know Joker is stronger
-> I didn't say Luffy, Law, Zoro were on different levels. Just that Luffy is stronger than Law who is closer to Zoro(who i view as barely stronger if any)

Going by your logic even Luffy will get easily defeated by Law as his intelligence is just as bad as that of Zoro.




Why do you think so?

That would mean that Doflamingo's full power while injured is weaker than Doflamingo not taking the fight seriously. He hasn't been taking the fight seriously and creamed Law, while controlling the bird cage.

If he is that badly wounded then the climax of the story arc would be rather lack luster.

Doflamingo hasn't even shown his full power yet, even with those injuries, defeating him going all out definitely puts Luffy above Law.

Also Doflamingo noted that Luffy isn't in top shape either, and even teased him over it.

Yeah he will get one along with Zoro and Sanji next arc. Luffy will probably stay ahead of Law for now, but the gap between those four won't ever be wide, its big now but its expected since the arc is nearly over.

Don't get me wrong, I think Luffy has the worst chance of beating Law of the monster trio.

Sanji has his intellect to figure something out
Zoro has his bloodlust to finish the fight before it starts
Luffy always fools around for 3 fights before he gets serious

Against Law they don't have the luxury of slacking and getting beaten up first. If Law hits you once he bodyswapped you with a horse, or he took your heart, or he cut your arms of, he teleports your weapons away, or he shambles you onto all kind of other objects.

He has the room the size of a small mountain, by the time they make a move Law teleports away and cuts you up.

Law's reactions are so fast that he asked Luffy to attack him in gear second. During the attack he was able to see it coming and switch himself out so that the attack would hit Doflamingo.

If he is that fast then the monster trio has no chance with a full health Law in a large sized room.

Hmm Sanji getting Armament Haki?

There was always a gap.Luffy fighting the strongest one,Zoro the 2nd strongest and Sanji the 3rd...So it's the same in power.
a bigger room and a replacement animal arm lol
First yes,second please no! Please!

Law's ppwers have two sides to them, he has attacks that have strong effect i.e gamma knife/radio knife then the pure strenght high dc type such as the slach on vergo and the ship levitating thing can also b counted. With those he is plenty powerful with versatality plus forget not that his slashes and attacks arent that easy to parry so,even though Doffy kinda steamrolled him hecan still b useful vs other oponents and still b efficient even vx some stronger than DD especially if they rstraight up head to head type fighters.

Luffy may end up being stronger than law for sheer power but maybe law can compensate for that with his intelligence. I see Law and Luffy having a similar relationship to roger and whitebeard, two powerhouses with different ambitions, Luffy to reach raftel and become pirate king and traffy to honor corazon.

No he doesn't. For starters this entire "alliance" was from the get-go kinda a farce. Especially seen from Luffy's perspective this was more along the lines of "oooh pirate alliance, seems very pirate-ish and fun, lets do it". Logically the other Strawhats were more serious about it, but in the end if Law would have simply asked him as a friend to help him, Luffy would probably have done the same thing.

All that stuff about a 'position of authority' is simply redundant. Luffy and the Strawhats didn't do all this stuff for the sake of honoring the alliance and the alliance is also only sporadically mentioned just for the sake of keeping up appearances. Law seriously is currently not really giving much about not showing enough authority, he just wants to see DD go down above all else. You are simply giving way too much value to this whole "showing authority" thing, hence invalidating your statement that Law needs to power up.

And that Law would be showing less authority than Sanji and Zoro is simply not true. Law was able to easily give Smoker a run for his money, beat Vergo and just beat Trebol while being half dead. Vergo and Trebol had the same status as Pica who Zoro beat. Sanji on the other hand hasn't made an appearance in ages and got subdued by DD. So where you get the idea that both of them have shown more authority than Law, who has continuously been trying to take on DD, is a mystery to me.

Lastly Law is not a Strawhat, he is not a main character. It's very well possible following recurrent OP patterns that after this arc his original role is over. Oda regularly gives old characters new roles or recurrent appearances, but often they only had one real role. For example Vivi was a main protagonist in the entire Alabasta arc, but after that she just had some recurrent appearances. No doubt Law will be more seen than Vivi after this arc, but that doesn't take away that this arc was pretty much "his" arc. His entire past was shown, what made him go one was thoroughly elaborated on. So there is no reason whatsoever for him to get a power up at this stage, something he doesn't need either way and even less because of a reason like showing authority in a farce-like alliance especially when Law at one point tried to end the alliance.

Hardly. As Cali said, the alliance is a farce anyways. Law's "authority" comes in that he set up the arc. As for combat, he could handily defeat both Sanji and Zoro, so he doesn't really need a power up for them.
