User blog comment:Sanji The Cook/Closest to killing Luffy?/@comment-4899461-20120714130917

To me, it seems like there are kind of two categories: Those who just beat the crap out of Luffy, and those who just got lucky and got him into a bad position. It seems hard (although not impossible) to make only 1 list. So here's my top 3 separated into categories:

Pure beating the crap out of him:

1) Magellan

2) Crocodile. Don't forget, Luffy almost died in all 3 fights, due to the poison from Croco-boy's hook.

3) Lucci. Even though Luffy beat Lucci, he couldn't move afterwards and the marines would have killed him if it weren't for Robin and the Merry. Nobody else has exhausted Luffy as much as Lucci did.

(Almost) Death by plot:

1) Buggy

2) Akainu. He didn't actually beat Luffy, he killed Ace, which immobilized Luffy. And it was only through plot that he got a hit in on Jinbe.

3) Don Krieg or Arlong. Both of them got pretty close to drowning Luffy. I don't think anybody else has gotten closer to drowning him actually, which is funny cuz they were both in the East Blue.
