Kuma wouldn't win, Zoro countered his teleporting speed and Kuma always seems to be holding back, like when he fought Ivankov at Marineford (maybe because he remembered Iva).
Adding Ivankov would make a big difference, what make it a hard decision is that we're talking about Dragon's commanders, at first i wanted to say that they'd lose against G4 Luffy, Zoro who negged all his enemies after timeskip and the rest of the StrawHats, hard diff. But now that I think of it, Ivankov and Kuma are very underrated, Kuma didn't show his all and no one really injured him yet. Ivankov has some nasty tricks and again, it's not without a reason that they're Dragon's CONMANDERS. While tha StrawHats grew stronger Kuma and Ivankov probably also grew stronger and maybe for Kuma some gadgets got added or speed or extra durability. While Luffy lasts 10 minutes, Ivankov can boost their stamina and power.
Adding Sabo would be a big loss for Luffy's crew for sure, Ivankov can even give them an adrenaline boost
I agree with you that the Strawhats should be able to defeat Kuma in scenario 1.
I strongly disagree with them winning any scenario after that. G4 luffy still gets repelled by the paw paw fruit (It's Broken), which could cause luffy to run out of time or kuma could redirect luffy's attack toward his crew. Both Ivankov and Kuma have demonstrated far superior speed feats than any of the SH's post timeskip, and both Ivankov and Kuma have large AoE.
Kuma and Ivankov have both also shown that they are tanks:
- with kuma protecting the strawhats ship for 2 years straight and taking damage and still able to fight. Not only did he protect it from pirates but also from the marines.
- Ivankov was the only person in the series to fight megellan get swamped with poison and walk away from it afterwards. Not only that but diplayed hormone abilities that makes his body immune to physical damage. Also in the anime he was shown as being one of the few characters that was able to take a direct hit from akainu and play it off afterwards.
Between Ursus Shock, Galaxy Wink, and adrenaline shots I really dont see the strawhats pulling that win off. And if we go by portrayal, since sanji was trained by Ivankov it should be assumed that Ivankov is still significantly stronger than sanji, and if Ivankov is significanly stronger than sanji than he show still be either slightly or moderately stronger than the other monster trio.
I think round 3 is a slaughter for the Revs.
i really do hate how underrated kuma is on this site its really annoying... no straw hat can solo kuma maybe luffy via gear 4th but thats unlikely due to the amount of effort used to defeat doffy on luffys and laws part..but then again any damage luffy does to kuma kuma can litterally take it out of his body and throw it right back at them....
as for the person who said zoro countered his teleportation pre timeskip
where? if he did why did he get transported to mihawk or are u saying he knew he would be transported to him and just went with it... kuma literally teleports it doesnt matter if its 9 against 1 if anything thats better for kuma due to being able to use these ppl as shields and a lot of powerful attacks cant be used or has to be used carefully so they do not harm thier comrades... whereas kuma litterally has aone shot with his paws
i rank kuma around the level of doffy cracker jack minks etc idk why ppl think hes weak all of a sudden he has never shown anything to make him seem weak
I agree Kuma is extremely underrated. I do think the strawhats can beat him 9 vs 1, but he would put up a hell of a fight. I view Kuma and Ivankov as being stronger than Doffy and Cracker, not sure about Jack.
