this might have been the best fight in one piece

that's the whole thing

I want to get back into one piece but there's so fucking much of it

That scene was also important for establishing that luffy had a personal stake in the next arc

yeah

he wasn't just power flexing

he's out to prove something now

and when Luffy knows what he wants, nobody can stop him

I still can't believe Bellamy gets character development and gets sympathetic later

WAIT REALLY

yes

he was basically hero worshipping Doflamingo, but gets discarded and basically told to off himself buying time for Doflamingo by fighting Luffy, and he gets all crying and shit as he's fighting Luffy but Luffy just basically takes it all

or something I was only paying half attention to that arc

incredible

Yeah apparently he's like "hey thanks for knocking sense into me, now I want a real fight"

And then he has a bad time
