One Piece: 4 Enemies Who Underestimate Luffy in Battle

Until One Piece 1055, Monkey D. Luffy has grown stronger and even has the power of a confirmed god.

Even today, many enemies and pirates are afraid and shy of Luffy.

However, before becoming strong as he is now, Luffy used to be underestimated by enemies.

Where Luffy's enemies in One Piece often underestimate him and think of the Straw Hats as just novice pirates.

Here are 4 enemies who underestimate Luffy in battle.

1. Galdino

Galdino or Mr. 3 is a former agent of the Baroque Works organization and an expert in tactics and strategy.

In the One Piece arc Little Garden, Galdino traps the Straw Hat crew using candles thanks to his Devil Fruit.

Despite being belittled and looking desperate to not be able to save his friend, Luffy surprisingly defeated Galdino.

Luffy managed to find the right target and beat Mr.3 with Gomu Gomu no Stamp.

2. Arlong

Arlong is a member of the Fish-Man race and the captain of the Arlong Pirates.

Arlong's ability to fight in the water is unquestionable because he's a fishman.

But surprisingly Arlong at that time lost to a novice pirate, namely Luffy.

Luffy has great determination to defeat Arlong and wants to make him pay for everything he has done to Nami over the years.

Despite having a huge difference in strength, Luffy managed to defeat Arlong and even destroy his base.

3. Charlotte Linlin

The former Yonko Big Mom has incredible power and has ruled the seas for decades.

With her Devil Fruit Big Mom can manipulate a person's soul.

Linlin is known to be one of the most arrogant characters in the One Piece series.

Therefore, while on Whole Cake Island, Luffy was not her match at all.

However, while in Wano, Big Mom was reunited with Luffy.

The Yonko not only underestimated Luffy, but she also Kid and Law.

In the end Big Mom lost to Kid and Law and fell to Magma, while the Straw Hats managed to defeat Kaido at Wano Kuni.

4. Donquixote Doflamingo

Luffy fought Doflamingo while in Dressrosa very fiercely.

It wasn't easy for the Straw Hats to defeat Doflamingo.

At that time, Doflamingo managed to awaken his Devil Fruit.

But with Gomu Gomu no King Kong Gun, the former Shichibukai finally lost to Luffy's punch.
