User blog comment:The ASL Pirates/Will Someone other than Luffy Fight the Strongest Opponent?/@comment-5398287-20150621071856

Hey now, lest we forget, Zoro REKT Hody back in the beginning of the Fishman Island arc. With one slash. Underwater. That's about as extreme as you can get when it comes to subverting this formula. Hody was only fighting Luffy at the end because he had been overdosing on Energy Steroids just to stay standing.
