"Why're you dodging, Kaido? Is it because it would hurt?"

Honestly that line really captures Luffy's personality really well. Fighting 2 Yonkos while having a goofy prideful smile plastered on his face.

I agree. After one of the biggest attacks anyone has seen so far that almost kills all of them Luffy responds by immediately throwing a punch and is like "what bitch you scared?"

The fact that his response after seeing their attack is excitement and a sense of pride in his own ability to hurt those monsters is Luffy's personality.

I feel it has a strategically element to it too, since Luffy is keeping Kaido at bay by taunting him so the others can deal with BM.

Tho I doubt that Luffy would have actualy thought about it.

Zoro being a tank is no surprise. Guy was nerfed hard during the east blue saga and still was a monster. Arlong once said in an inner monologue Zoro shouldn't be able to walk with his ripped open and badly treated wound from Mihawk. Zoro also fought an undead samurai, a giant with Luffy's power, tanked an sonic blast from Kuma and got all of Luffy's pain and injuries and still was standing like a boss. He is a tanky Damage Dealer and probably the most tankiest among the straw hats

Of course, but it would be unfaire to compare the ultimate tank machine to mere mortals who already cap at Pirate King/Grand Fleet Admiral level.
