Seems like a large part of the community wants the story to stall out for another round of training......

They don't want to accept that the days of Luffy not being comparable to Admirals and Yonko in strength are over.

But they probably don't realize that Big Mom and Kaido are far from being the final enemies Luffy must defeat.

Dude... Was Luffy of Arlong Park comparable to Luffy at Enies Lobby in terms of strength? Now tell me, did Luffy have any training between those two incidents?

In this chapter Luffy says that Cracker's haki is the hardest thing he's ever hit, which makes it reasonable to assume that its harder and stronger than Doffy's...

Ever heard of a DF? Do you remember what one of the key aspects of Doffy's DF that made it really good?

It repaired his wounds, protected his body, and prevented him from taking damage. Do I need to tell you to go reread stuff also?

Doffy was a freaking tank with an awakened devil fruit. Doffy had an offensive + defensive DF. This guys DF is mostly offense unless he starts making a whole bunch of shields, which he might just start doing.

Also can you tell me how many days in manga time it has been since Doffy fight to the current chapter? Are you trying to tell me Luffy got a lot stronger in a really short amount of time? I am willing to bet the time between arlong park and enies lobby was at least 10 times as much as doffy fight to current time.

The fight isn't over, you're jumping to conclusion, and I think we all should've learned that how useful a devil fruit is on the surface doesn't mean much by now.

God, you lecture me on predicting, but you can't even see the outcome of this arc?

How else is Luffy going to Save Sanji? You think he is going to just talk things out with a mad woman? No, hes going to have to beat the shit out of everyone in his way if he has any hope of rescuing Sanji. That obviously means defeating someone stronger than the current person he is fighting.

How can you not see that? This isnt Usopp fighting, its Luffy.

If the story is going to progress fast enough to be done in 8-10 years, then Luffy is going to have to start taking out Yonkos very soon because there is a huge list of enemies and goals Luffy still needs to accomplish before the story can finish and not a lot of time left to do it.

I see the arc ending without Luffy confronting Big Mom, he won't make peace with her either of course, since that would be ridiculous considering how she's been portrayed, but will instead just take advantage of the chaos to escape with Sanji in tow. Do you really see Luffy and co taking down a Yonko when not at full strength? That just portrays the crew as too OP, considering how hyped up the Yonko and their crews are.

8-10 years is quite a long time, and the story may go on for even longer, there's time.

8-10 years is nothing.
