I would love to hear your counter argument, assuming you even have one and aren't just trying to spite me because you can't back him up.
All you have done is shown you have nothing left to argue and just want to insult people.
Sure thing.
Based on what grounds is Law going to be Luffy's Whitebeard?
Show the proof from the manga, that is purely speculation and completely made up.
Whitebeard was enemies with the King of the Pirates, he wasn't rescued twice in one day by the King of the Pirates and he didn't need him to take his revenge.
In fact the fact that Law saved Luffy during the War is further proof that he isn't Luffy's Whitebeard, Whitebeard would not have done the same for the King of the Pirates and Luffy doesn't consider people who save his life enemies.
Luffy has many real rivals such as Blackbeard, heck Kid is more likely to be Luffy's Whitebeard as they are going to end up fighting each other seriously.
Whitebeard and the Pirate King were enemies, but Luffy and Law are friends, that right there completely invalidates Law being Luffy's Whitebeard.
Crocodile and Rob Lucci were both depicted as vastly more powerful than Luffy and he still defeated them on his own in the end, so there is no reason to believe that Luffy can't beat Doflamingo, also Luffy beat Crocodile while poisoned and badly injured.
As for the Red Hawk thing, clearly you need to go back and reread large sections of the manga, Luffy only needed Law's help because Doflamingo was using a human shield to stop Luffy's attacks at the time, he needed Law to get around it.
Clearly you fail to understand that a villain is almost always depicted as stronger than the hero in fiction, its called suspense.
Law failed miserably to kill Doflamingo and bring down his organization and he had a life time to do it, Luffy and the Strawhats van guarded a revolution that brought him down and it only took them a day.
Once again their is no reason to believe that Law will be Luffy's Whitebeard other than poor speculation, as Law doesn't fit any of the requirements, Whitebeard took his own revenge and he didn't need to depend on his 'rival' to do it.
Whitebeard didn't need the King of the Pirates and they were enemies, Law has been completely dependent on the Strawhat pirates for his entire revenge scheme, even his original plan required them.
Also Law has been saved by Luffy twice, and Luffy was saved by Law during the War arc, Luffy won't fight Law seriously or view him as an enemy, Law is simply claiming they are rivals because he is to proud to admit Luffy is his friend.
Whitebeard and the King of the Pirates were mortal enemies.
Law do damage to Doflamingo? He sewed his organs back up and shrugged it off like it was nothing, Luffy had to intervene.
And yes King's Haki matters, or Doflamingo and Luffy wouldn't be using it against each other.
Also you claim that its only speculation, yet earlier you were claiming that Luffy would never have hit Doflamingo period if Law hadn't injured him. Funny how fast you changed one of your arguments.
Nobody misses at point blank range, and you can't dodge when trading blows with someone, anyone who knows how fighting works knows this.
I have destroyed every argument you have made and all you are doing is ignoring the entire structure of how the manga works.
1. Let's start with the Law/Whitebeard thing.
Roger was portrayed to have three main rivals during his era: Garp, Whitebeard and Shiki. During Sabaody, the concept of pirates competing for the title of Pirate King was fully introduced. We knew before that Luffy would have to compete with other pirates, but so far, the enemies he fought beforehand were either not pirates(Lucci, Enel, Aokiji, Smokr) or pirates who had something that wasn't being Pirate King as the basis of conflict between them and Luffy(Crocodile, Buggy, Foxy, Bellamy). It wasn't until the Supernova that we fully got the concept of Luffy competing for the title of Pirate King. At this same time, two pirates in particular were stressed to be standing beside Luffy: Kidd and Law. The three of them can be seen as parallels to Roger, Whitebeard and Shiki. Roger and Luffy don't need to be explained.
That leaves Kidd and Law with Shiki and Whitebeard. Kidd is assumed to be Shiki's parallel due to the fact that they are both portrayed to be dangerous hotheads. Both are overly violent, both voiced disgust towards the World Government(further emphasized by the fact that Law hasn't). Both Kidd and Shiki received radical prosthetics due to injuries, with Kidd having an entire metal arm and Shiki having his swords and steering wheel lodged in his head. Shiki and Kidd both also have wild hair designs, while Law-Luffy/Whitebeard-Roger have simpler designs. Shiki's epithet is the Golden Lion, while as a child, Kidd's hair greatly resembled a lion's mane.
Law can be compared to Whitebeard through both connections, as we could with Kidd, and the process of elimination, with them being the only two left. Both Law and Kidd are Paramecia users, with Whitebeard and Shiki also being Paramecia users, furthering the connection. Both Law and Whitebeard have been portrayed to have connections to the concept of family. Whitebeard said what he sought most was a family, while Law sought out the crew that considered themselves a family. Not only that, but the lost of Law's family, both biological and Corazon, greatly shaped who he is today. While the concept of family isn't the same for both characters, the fact that both of them have had an emphasis of the concept wrapped around their characters is still a connection. Whitebeard was also stated to have the strongest fruit in the Paramecia class. Similarly, Law's Paramecia fruit was stated to be called the ¨Ultimate Fruit¨ before. While considered enemies, Roger and Whitebeard actually got along relatively, as they were able to drink and talk together. Conversely, Shiki and Roger were shown to have a completely hostile relationship towards each other, with no signs of mutual respect or anything close to civility together. Similarly, Luffy and Law have become allies(Law does not consider them friends), but Shiki and Luffy have had their every interaction so far have some kind of negative side to it(with Luffy being pissed that Kidd tried to order him around). While Shiki/Kidd are hotheaded and Luffy/Roger are wild, Law/Whitebeard has been shown to be the calm one of the trio, both being far less erratic than the trios of their generations. Whitebeard was also shown to be cautious, as shown when he snuck into Marineford underwater. Law was shown to have the same level of caution and covert thinking with a submarine ship and not charging into the New World. Both Law and Whitebeard were shown to be open to complete strangers joining their crew, with Jean Bart and Ace respectively.
You keep saying that Whitebeard didn't need his rival's help, and that when he needed something done, he just went and did it himself as a rebuttal to a parallel between Law and Whitebeard. Thing is, you're vastly incorrect. At the War of the Best, Whitebeard didn't show up by himself. He didn't show up with just his crew. He showed up with a fleet. His fleet considered of other pirate crews who agreed to help Whitebeard. Sure, it wasn't his rival he allied with, but that doesn't matter. Whitebeard stressed that he can't do everything on his own; he had several panels dedicated to this after Crocodile yelled at him, calling himself ¨one man with one heart. I can go find them if you need some refreshing, but it shows that Whitebeard accepted that he would need help to do big things, so Law asking Luffy for help does not defeat the parallel, it in fact just strengthens it, as both acknowledge their limits and have no problem asking for help with big things.
Crocodile was never depicted as vastly stronger than Luffy. Crocodile wasn't beating Luffy because he was that much stronger and faster or anything, but simply because Luffy lacked the ability to touch his body. Crocodile wasn't winning because his strength, speed or combat ability were greater, but simply because he was a Logia. Once the Logia aspect was gone, Luffy was able to handily keep up with him. As for Rob Lucci, Luffy and Lucci were shown to be in the same league from the very beginning of their second and last combat encounter. The entire fight, they were neck and neck. Luffy's fight cannot be compared to his fight with Doffy because once Luffy got a taste of Lucci's fighting style and came back, he was able to push Lucci completely on his own using brute strength, but when he got a taste of Doffy's and came back, Doffy was still able to overwhelm him again with brute force and skill. Unlike Luffy's case with Crocodile, it wasn't because of a special nature of the enemies powers like being a Logia, it was pure power difference.
TheHokage is right. Luffy has been unable to land a single blow on Doffy that didn't happen due to Law's aid in some way. Doffy used Bellamy as a human shield for a basic kick. A string clone that was is inferior to Doffy was able to swat away a Gear 2 punch. Not punch, kick, or dodge, swat it away. If you really think Doffy needed to use Bellamy as a human shield for that, you're sorely mistaken. Doffy could have dodged, grabbed, or even slice Luffy's leg off. He chose to use Bellamy out of pure sadism.
The Strawhats have been able to do this revolution, yes, but also with the aid of the Tontottas and Violet and Sabo, not to mention the other Colosseum fighters. If it was just the Strawhats alone, they would have failed miserably. If it was just the Strawhats and Law, they would have still miserably failed, just by a little less.
Are you serious? Doffy may have sewn his organs back together, but he's still in a lot of pain. He didn't shrug it off like it was nothing, he was dropped to his knees and then collapsed on the ground unable to move until his strings went into effect. Granted, Luffy's kick also did damage, but Gamma Knife ****ed him up greatly.
¨You can't miss at point blank range.¨
Except we've seen several cases of this throughout the manga? But sure, whatever you say.
