I don't think a repeat is necessarily out of the question, considering that the similarities between Dressrosa and Alabasta, Enies Lobby and Whole Cake Island, etc. It may not be the strongest thing to happen, but it is in the realm of possibility. Last time, there was a few arcs between Ace getting captured and Luffy finding out and making his move. A lot happened in that time, and who's to say a similar thing won't happen again? The whole crew will grow stronger in that time. I could also see potential help from the revolutionaries attempting to rescue their chief of staff (this would probably be led covertly by Koala, as I don't see Dragon as the type to risk it all for one man). If he's helped free the Wano kingdom at this point, I think he could expect help from the samurai who are deeply indebted to him. With this, the playing field would become more even (especially if Fujitora refuses to come help fight because that would mean he'd have to go to a Marine base without having killed Law and Luffy. Unlikely, but the kind of humorous twist we could see from him to piss of Akainu. Even if Fujitora did show up, most of his attacks are AOE and risk hurting his own soldiers, which he absolutely would not do). I could also see an arc of him against Edward Weevil before this fight, which would certainly power up the crew.
