User blog comment:Sentomaru/Doc Q.... is he powerful???/@comment-5445905-20120908001826

In all seriousness. If Doc Q is one of the most powerful pirate Luffy will fight him. Luffy always fights the most powerful opponents in order to protect his nama's. When Ace died and Jimbe told Luffy to remember what he had and not what he lost and talking to SR he figured out one of Gold Rogers Secrets which was his crew. Note all of Gold rogers crew survive even though they were famous sailing with Gold Rogers. Gold Rogers when he knew he was dying gave up his life so his crew could get away. Luffy would do the same thing to save his crew. Between this and Luffy's ability to make enemies into allies is what make him so dangerous compared to other pirates.
