I just thought that having those 5 strong guys against 1 warlord would be enough. The strawhats have taken on other warlords before so I thought Joker would be no different. But seeing what Joker can do made me realize he was no joke.
Those very 2 Warlords Luffy fought and beat Law could have done the same, I don't say he couldn't. Law could have taken out Gekko much faster than Luffy did, and Law would only have trouble with Crocodile because he was a Logia user.
It took the strawhats and Kuma's help to beat which ever PX they fought. Don't forget Kuma sent that robot flying.
You can't say Luffy was stronger than Law in part 1, We saw Law do 2 things in the first part, 1) fight some marines with Kid and Luffy, 2) Fight PX-7 with Kid
-Even in the fight with PX-7 we saw how fast Law's room tech was. He shifted the bear with the big guy in a flash.
Once an enemy is in his room they are at his mercy, he can basically do what ever he likes.
-Luffy would have to leave Law's dome, but have to enter if he wants to hit Law. But Law can do as he pleases which means, steal hearts, and cut whom ever up
When you say that that Law could of beat the 2 warlords Luffy beat pre-timeskip, are you referring to Law as pre-timeskip or or post time skip. Because if you are meaning post-time skip than yes i will agree with you because Law is definately strong post-timeskip. But he would have trouble with Crocodile.
Now let me correct you,The Straw Hats took down one PX by themselves and were having trouble fighting another PX and Kizaru, thats when Kuma and Rayliegh helped out.
Luffy was stronger than Law in the first part. Yes, Law can summon his room really quickly, but that was to just move two people.
In a 1v1 between Luffy and Law, I believe that Luffy would come out victorious, but it would be a close one. Yes, Law can cut anything he wants with his devil fruit, but you forget that he has to cut them. You are forgetting the speed Luffy has. I dont think that Luffy would let Law draw out his sword and let Law cut him.
The only reason that Vergo was cut was because Vergo was overly confident on his Haki and didn't think that Law could cut him. If Vergo knew Law could cut him than the fight would of been different.
All im saying is that right now from reading the manga, Luffy could pull out a victory against Law. But we haven't really seen both of the characters go all out in the manga so it is a toss up on who would win.
