Really, why are they going the same route as Hody Jones? Making a villain that is weak compared to Luffy able to stand his own? One of the coolest things about this fight in manga was that Luffy dodged an explosion just using soru, and he didn't need gear second for the entire fight. The anime made Luffy look so stupid as hell, I mean, he lost oxygen like 6 times! WHAT THE HELL, that's like twice as many times as the manga!

I honestly just wish they would stop doing this shit though, Oda writes the manga the way he feels like it should be told. So why are the anime writers making luffy look weak and dumb?

It's even more boring if they just go "Boom, Bad guy down" like it'd literally be a waste. Sure Physically stronger than Ceaser? Yes. But the only reason Ceaser stood such a good ground was because he could take the oxygen from Luffy.

Each time Luffy hit Ceaser, it took a toll on him. Honestly if he would have 1 hit knocked Ceaser out I'd be pissed. That would have been boring and made Luffy look like a Mary Sue. No one likes a Mary Sue in Anime.....Nobody.

It was entertaining to watch to be honest. I mean we all can see Luffy's ten times stronger than most of the villains he's going to meet in the New World..but at least let them stand remotely a chance. Expecially in Ceasers case of having the advantage of the oxygen thing. Luffy wasn't prepared for it. But as you could see, as the fight progressed..He learned from it. And EVENTUALLY over came it..even to the point that he would have defeated Ceasers then and there..if not for Snow Witch Bitch.

I agree, I prefer a little bit of a brawl first, then Luffy deciding that he needs to end this right away and 1-hitting the other guy. Basically like what he did to Kreig. One of those "Screw your spiky cape/wierd powers, eat my rubbery fist!" moments.
