Re: One Piece Manga General Spoilers Thread
What's obvious isn't Fuji holding back, what should be obvious is the fact that Luffy has gotten stronger. How has he not when an injured Doflamingo said G2s attack felt like tickles? If Luffy could only tickle injured Doflamingo and now is able to scratch Fujitora who undoubtedly should have better endurance than an injured Doffy, is it not obvious he has gotten stronger?
True its not enough, but Luffy with just G2 is indeed scratching Fuji as shown in the top right panel. The fact that both Luffy and Fuji are holding back and seem to be stalemating each other is impressive, more impressive on Luffy considering not too long ago he couldn't even injure an injured Doflamingo with G2.From what we've seen, Fujitora's worst attribute seems to be his agility. While he is in no way slow, it is still debatable if he's capable of dodging Luffy's punches with ease. Blocking them would probably be less straining - which, as you can see, is exactly what Fujitora is doing. Even if he was capable of dodging without breaking a sweat; Fujitora is obviously holding back in this fight. Thinking otherwise is just ridiculous at this point. You're looking at a scan where Fujitora is blocking and dodging all of Luffy's attacks, and you think Gear Second is holding its own? Think again.
With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if Luffy actually could land a hit or two in this fight. Fujitora is obviously the much stronger one, but it's not like he could take out Luffy with ease. At this point in time, it's not a matter of landing a couple of hits, but rather landing enough hits to take out an Admiral. I don't see Doflamingo's durability being superior to an Admiral's. The fight between Akainu and Aokiji supports this. If Luffy is to win over Fujitora or any of the other Admirals, a few Gomu Gomu no Pistols or Gatlings or whatever aren't enough.
