Forum:I Believe Luffy and others are not yet ready for the New World! What about you?

Hey! I am a really good Anime Reviewer and been watching Anime from a very very long time. Started with Dragon Ball, then OnePiece, going to Naruto and Bleach. Now the Topic of the Day, is that i think that really, Luffy and the straw hats are not strong enough for the New World. Watching that TV Special Episodes. Luffy Barely Beaten Z's men. So i dont think they got a chance against other people in the New World. I Just want to know your Thoughts about this.

If you read the manga (aka. the actual source material) the argument would instead be, "Are they too powerful for the New World?". They only seem weak due to the poor direction of the anime filler episodes, resulting in anti-climatic battles with very bland sequences. Compare their strength to any canon scenario (say, the battle against Oars) and you'll see the inconsistency of their strength. 10:11, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
