User blog comment:Giotis/Why Luffy and did not fight back when Bellamy hit him?/@comment-24.130.178.79-20110823070549/@comment-1781187-20111229204747

the fight with teech was for comical effect, it was not a real fight. and it was like shanks. actually it was EXACTLY what shanks did. there was no point in fighting bellamy because luffy knew he was stronger and bellamy could only talk trash. just like how shanks didnt fight higuma because shanks was a yonko and he knew he could kill some 8 million beli nobody easily. shanks says word for word "he just got some grog on me. needless, killing doesnt make you a man" thats coming from one of the strongest pirates in the world. because unlike arlong, or crocodile, or kuro, you dont need to kill innocent people in order to be a force to be reckoned with. oh and in case you forgot, Bellamy hadnt done anything to them. for gods sake they were able to walk off all of the attacks. it wasnt until harm to another person (cricket, shoujou and masira) did luffy beat the crap out of him. they hurt zoro but he can take it and what they said to nami was more of a joke than a real offer and if it was a real offer and they threatened her, luffy would have flipped. you just dont seem to understand what One Piece is turely about
