Hmmm... well, judging for how high One Piece ranks in WSJ right now (1st or 2nd, the worst ranking was a 4th, considering there are like 20 series duking it out for popularity), Oda-sensei is playing his cards with the most carefulness possible. Also, it is not the first time an arc ends without Luffy sweeping the floor with an antagonist of any caliber -Loguetown, Sabaody and the rest of the Summit War Saga-.
