Usapang ONE PIECE POH dito

[AgileZero]

It's hard to guess eh. Though you are right, parang mismatch eh.

Haki here would be very important for damage and evasion but we cannot avoid the fact that Luffy is a fighting genius. He learns then quickly adapts. Maybe through sheer will, he could break off Doffy's controls.

So my answer here is combat intelligence and sheer determination.

we might not have seen luffy's fullest power to date yet..

but same goes for doffy.. and sure di lang strings yun ability niya

haki user din siya.. mukang meron pa rin edge si doffy..

siguro naman alam nating lahat na dito sa arc maghaharap sila luffy at doffy

sa palagay niyo sa match up na ito.. paano kaya kokontrahin ni luffy

yung ability ni doffy na kahit si law eh nahirapan

In my opinion, hindi si Doffy ang final boss sa Arc na ito. Not after Doffy wiped the floor with Law, who earlier showboated his DF by cutting a mountain and gave the fodder treatment to two Vice-Admiral level fighters.  I'd peg Luffy's power level sans Conqueror's Haki as just around Law's level or a tad lower, which isn't so bad considering Law's feats.

With how much of a big shot Doffy is in the New World, I'd wager that he's just a tad below Mihawke's level and could give Admirals a run for their money.

kung hindi si doffy sino naman ang sa tingin mo

ang makakaharap ni luffy sa arc na ito..

kasi para sa akin wala naman sa lakas ng kalaban at kung ano ang

mga kayang gawin ng kalaban para maging basehan ng makakaharap ni luffy eh,

look at crocodile before.. with his ability luffy has no chance defeating him

without using his own blood to hit him..

and at that time luffy was nobody compared to a warlord..

that also have the baroque works and a whole country at his hand..

Ang problema ko kasi sa "Final Boss Fight" idea is that I don't feel its necessity for this arc. Remember the Marineford Arc? Walang "Final Boss", just a bunch of factions with or against each other like usual large-scale battles should. I get that kind of feel sa arc na ito, with so many factions. Case in point: we have Doflamingo Family, Marines, CP0, Big Mam's Crew, Noland's Elf Army, The Revolutionaries (Sabo, Koala, and co.), Toy Army, the defeated Gladiators, Law and possibly his crew, Strawhat Crew, and possibly even Blackbeard's and Kaidou's Crew. The Dress Rosa Arc is actually building up as one of the largest we have in terms of global significance, as reflected by the  any local factions making a move coupled with multiple outside factions also getting involved.

With that many players, Luffy could practically get involved in multiple fights, he may even have a bit of skirmish against Doflamingo at some point. I just don't think that it will be resolved, and Doflamingo will instead find a way to weasel his way out of this. He could probably take on what's left (Doflamingo's top crew) as final bosses, which is fair game.

You also have to remember na hindi lahat ng nakalaban ni Luffy naovercome nya on his first try (if ever at all). Case in Point: Crocodile (although he beat him on the same arc), Kuzan (curbstomp), Pacifistas (forced retreat even with SH crew's help), Sentomaru (curbstomp), Magellan (curbstomp), and plenty of Marineford Arc's top tiers (see how Luffy is highly irrelevant here combatwise).

Just my 2 Beli.

May point ka jan sir broski045...

However, wouldn't it be good and about time for the StrawHats with Luffy as it's leader to step up...

Although, isang malaking question pa din kung kakayanin ba ni Luffy si Donflamingo...

Matalo man o makatakas si Donflamingo...

But with the end of this Arc, tataas ang bounty ni Luffy...hahaha

Well no matter what will happen in this arc now

i think it is time again for the mugiwara crew to go up on a new level

as a statement to the world.. since their true target is defeating a yonkou..

and doffy isnt much closer to the level of that one..

yep, and it is a good chance to see luffy in a serious battle with doflamingo and i have different feeling na katulad to sa alabasta arc with crocodile lol though maraming lang talagang factions this arc lol

[xxxchoholic Rai ♥]

well sa alabasta dati meron baroque works, rebels, marines at ang mugiwara

ngayon dito sa dressrosa meron doffy crew, coliseum fighters, admiral/marines

dwarves & toys, big mom/crew, revolutionaries and mugiwara..

halos same din hihihi mas maaksyon lang ngayon at much higher level

of battle ang makikita natin dito

Well, local kasi sa Alabasta, with Croc plotting to be the local leader while yung marines dun eh yung stationed lang within the vicinity. Contrast Dress Rosa, na dinayo ng Marines (with an Admiral, no less), dinayo ng competitors for Corrida Tournament, dinayo ng CP0 (elite of the elite ng government), dinayo ng isang Yonkou crew (Big Maam's), dinayo ng Revolutionaries, at posibleng dadayuhin din ng dalawa pang Yonkou (Kaido and Blackbeard with their respective motives). That's... hardly a comparison.

Despite that, excited na akong makitang magpakitang gilas ulet ang SH... mejo bitin ako sa fights sa FI lalo na dun sa Weak Trio.

[Zurca]

yep, gusto ko din makita in action weak trio ng strawhats lol specially si nami and her art of weather lol we'll see nalang what happens

[xxxchoholic Rai ♥]

and i think this might be the time when robin

would finally face someone strong in a major battle..

Eto crazy theory. Diba after ng Timeskip eh namodify ulet ni Franky yung Thousand Sunny gamit ang Vegapunk Tech, and nakita naman na natin na pwedeng i-"Dock" ni Franky yung Kurosai at Brachio-Tank sa sarili nya to form different Battle Franky modes. Hula ko pati yung ibang vehicles like the Shiro Makuba, Mini Merry, and Shark Submerge ay may ganito ring functionality.

Tapos, isa sa most powerful ability ngayon ni Franky is to "Dock" all of the vehicles at the same time to make the Ultimate Battle Franky a la Power Ranger Megazord.  At xempre pwede ring nakasakay sila Luffy, Chopper, at Usopp sa loob ng sasakyan/RoboFranky kung gusto nila (malamang gusto nila ).

EDIT: So bale, ito yung Tactics 15 Version 2.0 ni Franky.

hahaha...malamang nga nagawa nya na yun...eh what if kung pati yung Thousand Sunny ang minodify nya to transform...kaya lang made of wood...pero malay natin...
 

[AgileZero]

Your theory is not far off, considering that Franky even wanted the crew to (comically) transform themselves into one ultimate mecha. Even Zoro and Sanji attached themselves to Franky. Only Robin (who doesn't understand the awesomeness of mechas) did not join in mainly because its embarrassing.

If he cannot transform with the crew, then he'll transform with the dock vehicles.
