One Piece: Akainu and nine powerful characters that Luffy has never fought 1 vs 1

One Piece has a plot revolving around main character Monkey D. Luffy’s journey to become Pirate King.

However, there are also the following powerful names that Luffy has not yet had the opportunity to compete against.

9. Akainu

Akainu, the Navy Admiral, was the one who took the life of Ace, the brother that Luffy loved so much, and left him with an X-shaped scar in the middle of his chest.

Although they have met, the two have not actually fought each other directly.

8. Kizaru

Next will be Kizaru, one of the three Navy Admirals.

Luckily, there was timely intervention from `Dark King` Rayleigh and then Bartholomew Kuma used his teleportation ability.

7. Sengoku

At present, `Buddha` Sengoku has officially left the highest position in the Navy and stepped back.

Although they met at Marineford, Luffy and Sengoku have yet to directly confront each other.

6. Big Mom

In fact, Luffy also tried to attack Big Mom during the Whole Cake Island arc event, but was unsuccessful and lost his strength.

5. Shanks

In One Piece, it was Red-Haired Shank who inspired Luffy to become a pirate.

A typical example is when Shank just being present without having to do too much was still enough to end the battle at Marineford to the awe of Sengoku himself.

4. Ben Beckman

After the captain will be Shank’s deputy and right-hand man in the Red Hair Pirates, Benn Beckman.

Luffy will encounter the Red Hair Pirates on his way to becoming Pirate King and is likely to confront Beckman before facing Shank.

3. Whitebeard

Both Luffy and Whitebeard met at Marineford, with the same goal of rescuing Ace from death row.

It’s just a shame that the legend of the pirate world passed away right after the great battle in the Marineford arc.

2. Marco

The former captain of the first team of the Whitebeard gang, after the passing of his great `old father`, became a physician in his hometown.

1. Rayleigh

Finally, there is Rayleigh, Straw Hat Luffy’s master.
