There is comedy in Luffy and Zoro beating guys up while lecturing each other about drawing attention, beating people up and then running away.

Where Rollong10 is right is that stops being funny is when others are depending on Luffy and Zoro to be top of their game and healthy for the final battle which they’re clearly not by the end of this chapter. While it might be beneficial for Law and Kin’emon for Luffy to be a distraction, they still need Luffy’s strength to help them defeat Kaido. Unless Luffy and Zoro put on damage negating Raid Suits like Sanji, they shouldn’t be wasting time like this, at least in Enies Lobby they had the Franky and Galley-la to fight canon fodder for them.

This chapter just feels like a way to show off Apoo’s power and let Kid get revenge, even if it means sacrificing Luffy and Zoro on the altar of stupidity.
