Luffy couldn't even beat Doflamingo 1v1, Doffy was clearly shown to be superior, a lot of things needed to happen for Luffy to come out on top.



What...

2. Luffy got manhandled by Arlong.

3. Enel beat him.

2.Never happened lol, Arlong was always inferior to Luffy.

3.Enel never beat Luffy he kicked him off his boat and wouldn't let him back on because he was scared of getting his ass kicked.

Other than those two yea.

Did you miss the part where Luffy tries to beat Arlong, but just Arlong grabs him and throws him the pool? Or did you miss the part where Enel beats the shit out Luffy in CQC and states ''even without my electric powers you stand no match to me''? The only reason Luffy knocked out Enel was because he had the gold in his hand to boost his power.

Throwing in the pool lol? Is that what you call getting manhandled, getting thrown into a pool? Not to mention Luffy caused that himself by having his feet planted to the cement, if anything that was a gag moment.

CQC that lasted what? How many panels was that? Luffy literally had Enel shitting his pants from start to finish, with the only time Enel ever showing a slight edge was with his trident but even that didn't last long as Luffy started to dodge and then proceeded to hit Enel with a ricochet of gattling punches off the wall, after that Enel kept kicking Luffy off the boat making sure he never reaches it.

Either way neither Arlong or Enel beat Luffy.

...Ok. That's still manhandle you know that? He got overpowered easily.

Dude what? Did you miss the parts where he got utterly trashed in CQC? How many panels you say? It lasted an entire chapter. Only reason he hit him was because he surprised him with that wall attack. Before that he couldn't hit him once.

Luffy got destroyed a lot of times in the manga. Luffy also just had a two year training with Rayleigh, do you really think he would lose to the first real opponent he goes against? Also, doffy was handicapped by law who did a suicide attack on doffy and yet he recovered off of it. So doffy was not at 100% health when luffy defeated him and a lot of people had to buy him time before he could actually finish off doffy.

So it was not even a fair 1v1 match up which he won, he received a lot of help from a lot of people and only then he was able to defeat doffy.

What...

1. Luffy lost a round to Crocodile. He got destroyed and almost died.

2. Luffy got manhandled by Arlong.

3. Enel beat him.

4. Lucci sent him flying.

5. His crew got utterly destroyed by Kuma. It went to the point he didn't even try to look out for them anymore.

6. Admirals trashed him. Both Kizaru and Aokiji. Retreat on both rounds as well as Kuma.

7. Smoker almost bagged him until Ace interfered.

Do I need to list more? Obviously you haven't read the series. Luffy has lost several times in the manga and never managed to beat them again.

U forgot to list Magellan there which is the best example to debunk what the OP is implying, luffy got utterly overwhelmed in the first fight against Magellan and the only thing he could do during the second fight was run for his life together with hundred of other prisoners from magellan and he never got to beat him, he never even tried to set his eyes on him, knowing that only death awaits him if he ever faced Magellan again.

Yeah, I didn't even address that either. Luffy got utterly trashed by Magellan.
