User blog comment:AYET/The many defeats of Monkey D Luffy/@comment-8823907-20130702075642

My first choice was Kuma aswell. That was the turning point for everything. Before Kuma luffy lost a few times but after Kuma he met the most powerfull people in the world and realised ho weak he was. I just dont think that there is a defeat that had a bigger inpack on one piece than that.

I have one more for you. The defeat he sufferd at the hands of Kizaru dring the War. First he was "put in his place" when he jumped before the admirals and then jumped passed them it was kzaru that knocked him down and then it was Kizaru again when luffy reached his limits and recieved a light speed kick to the face  knocking him back until WB cought him. This just showed us that no matter what Luffy is willing to go against an "unmovable object" and try to find a way to pass it.
