Pirate Death Arrives.

I have to say, Luffy is indeed a fighting genius.

Although he was always at a disadvantage when fighting against the people of Sky Island, and even ended up with a miserable defeat in the end, compared to his failure, his growth was undoubtedly the biggest gain.

Luffy himself is a relatively "optimistic" person.

Failure will not defeat him.

Unless someone he cares about is injured or even dies.

In this situation, Luffy may collapse.

From the war at the top and Ace's death, we can see some clues.

Ace's death can be said to have caused great trauma to Luffy both physically and mentally.

Later, after several months of guidance from Rayleigh, he gradually recovered.

Really, at that time, if no one helped Luffy, he might really have sunk into oblivion and lived in fear for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, the people around him were very nice, and with their help, Luffy finally managed to survive.

To put it bluntly, the one who can truly defeat Luffy is never himself.

Compared with the casualties of his close ones, if he was the only one who failed, he would be able to accept all of this.

You can even face it calmly, learn lessons from it and become stronger!

Looking back at the time that Luffy spent on the sea, he had quite a few failures.

When fighting against many strong opponents, I usually lose the first round.

Only in the second round, if one suddenly realizes some skill that is powerful enough to counter the opponent, or finds the opponent's weakness, can one turn the tide and defeat the powerful enemy.

In the original plot.

The two duels with Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, are a good example of this.

In the first duel, Luffy almost died of dehydration because he was not familiar with Crocodile's abilities.

The second time, he found a way to deal with it and was able to barely defeat Crocodile.

Besides.

The situation was similar in the duel with another of the Shichibukai, Gekko Moriah.

It also took two full rounds. In the first round, he lost because he was not familiar with the opponent's abilities. In the second round, he found a way to crack the ability and barely defeated the strong enemy.

Of course, in the original plot, the peak showdown with Enelu on Sky Island was almost the same situation.

However, compared to Crocodile and Moria, Enel is in a worse situation.

He was simply killed by the plot.

Rubber Thunder, doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.

However, Eneel's development of the Thunder Fruit has almost reached a semi-awakening level.

This can be seen from the power unleashed when he uses the Thunder Fruit.

In comparison.

At that stage, Luffy's development of the 'Nika Fruit' was still mostly at the surface stage.

No matter how powerful the 'Nika Fruit' is, it's impossible for it to compete with a Devil Fruit that's almost half-awakened, right?

This is somewhat outrageous.

Moreover, in the eyes of those who know a little about the inside story, the 'Nika Fruit' was very weak before it awakened.

In contrast, it is extremely difficult for the 'Nika Fruit' to complete its final awakening.

This huge gap led to more than 800 years.

Only Joey Boy has done this.

Most of the other people who have eaten the 'Nika Fruit' have done nothing.

And after a gap of more than 800 years.

This is how Straw Hat Luffy came into being.

He became the second person to awaken the 'Nika Fruit'.

Of course, before the 'Nika Fruit' was awakened, Luffy was indeed very weak.

Especially when I first went to sea.

To be honest, anyone can step on his head.

And after accumulating enough experience in the subsequent life-and-death battles.

After Luffy had a new understanding of rubber, oh no, of the Nika Fruit, he gradually became stronger and was able to challenge the real strong men on the sea.

Second gear, third gear, fourth gear, and even fifth gear of 'Nika form'!

Luffy figured all of these out slowly, step by step, on his own.

It is undeniable that after practicing with Rayleigh for two years.

Luffy's strength has indeed increased effectively.

However, when fighting against Eneel, Luffy's strength at that stage was really not that strong.

On the other hand, Enelu.

Don’t say anything else.

Considering his strength among pirates, his bounty would be at least hundreds of millions.

Just relying on his absolute speed, he can toy with Luffy to death.

Not to mention, Enel also possesses the "Heart Net", a skill point that is essential in high-end duels between strong men.

On the other hand, Luo Di, at that time, only relied on recklessness in fighting.

If you look at it carefully, there is a big gap in strength between the two sides.

It’s a pity that Enel is too arrogant.

I underestimated Luffy a bit.

In addition, the restraint between the devil fruit abilities led to the failure.

Of course, there is a bit of plot-driven elements involved here.

However, after Luo Di's training, the situation is now completely different.

The unlucky one is naturally Luffy.

It was just that Enel hung him up and beat him.

of course.

It is undeniable that Luffy's growth has indeed been greatly improved.

Although in that battle, he did not master the Observation Haki or the Armament Haki.

However, during the battle with everyone on Sky Island, Luffy had already figured out something.

The only thing missing is an opportunity.

As long as the opportunity comes, he will be able to instantly comprehend the two kinds of domineering power and directly step into the ranks of the strong.

With this level of experience, following Rayleigh in practicing will be twice as effective with half the effort and will have a very good effect.

……

In fact, before the war at the top began.

Looking at Luffy's journey.

Most of the time he defeated strong enemies by adopting a "two-round battle". In the first round, he would test and explore, and in the second round, he would defeat the enemy.

It was not until he faced the Four Emperors Kaido that Luffy experienced many failures, grew stronger and stronger, and finally defeated Kaido with great difficulty.

All we can say is that the Four Emperors are still the Four Emperors after all, and the power they possess is indeed unmatched by anyone else.

Even a 'protagonist of destiny' like Luffy has to fight many times before he can barely defeat the opponent.

Moreover, whether Kaido has fallen is also an unknown.

Judging from the few clues that have been revealed so far.

Luo Di speculated that after the battle in Wano Country, Kaido and Big Mom were most likely still alive.
