Luffy standing tall against Fujitora, I literally cheered! It just proves how much he's matured and that he's truly on another level now, nowhere near the guy who had to flee from Kizaru back then.
megurine_marvel_496
That conversation between Sengoku and Law about Corazon made me so emotional and I loved getting more of that backstory
gen_gunpowder_159
Standing head to head with an admiral like this proves that Luffy is finished with running away from the navy and he has so much resolve
croaa
Okay, but when Fujitora started pulling down those meteors with his gravity, my jaw just dropped; it's so wild how he can just bend space like that, I wonder if it has any limits or if he can just summon anything.
saphir
Fujitora blinding himself because he hated what the world looked like is so heavy, and his reaction to Luffy is the best part of this whole fight
neoxplode
Luffy yelling out his moves because he does not want to cheat a blind man is exactly why people follow him and he is just too honest
yveltal
Fujitora thinking Luffy has a kind face shows that he really sees the good in people even if he is a marine
orihime_omnipotent
The way Luffy treats a fight like a fair duel even against a powerhouse like Fujitora says a lot about his pride, especially after everything that happened at Dressrosa
suzaku_kururugi_172
I was seriously holding my breath when Fujitora started pulling up all that wreckage from Dressrosa, thinking everyone was toast for sure. My jaw dropped when he just... let it all fall back down, deciding to let them escape after all that build-up, it made me wonder what he was really thinking there.

When Luffy stood his ground against Fujitora, I literally gasped because it just proves how much he's grown since Marineford. He wouldn't even think about running now; my boy is genuinely ready to clash with the big dogs of the Grand Line, and it's exhilarating to see.

When Luffy started yelling out his attacks to Fujitora, I literally burst out laughing; it’s so him to be that straightforward and fair, refusing to win just because his opponent can’t see. It really shows how his honorable nature can even impress someone like an admiral, making me wonder if Fujitora sees a bit of himself in Luffy’s honest fight.

I actually teared up when Luffy started yelling that he was going to kick or punch so the old man could hear him and it was such a pure moment
naruto_ninja
Those gladiators offering their loyalty to Luffy is a massive deal because it finally makes the crew feel like a real power in the world
professor_oak
Seeing Luffy block those gravity slashes felt so good because it shows how much stronger he got during the timeskip and he is finally standing up to an actual admiral
buruburu_blade
You can tell Fujitora is not even trying to kill Luffy and he just wants to see what kind of person this pirate actually is before he lets them escape the island
zerotwofan
Citizens of Dressrosa pretending to chase the crew just to block the marines was a brilliant way to say thanks for saving them from the birdcage
kirishima_red_riot
You could tell Fujitora was really holding back but the clash still looked powerful and his gravity powers are honestly terrifying when he starts dropping debris from the sky
magna_maestro_141
Hearing Fujitora say he wished he had not blinded himself just so he could see what Luffy looks like was such a heavy moment and it really hits you how much he respects the kid
fireblight_ganon
It is wild that Fujitora blinded himself on purpose to avoid seeing the world's trash, and then he meets Luffy and regrets not being able to see his face
haruka_tenoh
Law getting some closure from Sengoku was a quiet moment that really worked, especially seeing the fleet admiral just acting like a regular guy who misses his friend too
EPISODE CONTEXT
This episode arrives in the aftermath of the Dressrosa arc's most emotionally charged developments, including Rebecca's rescue and the deepening of Kyros's storyline, pivoting hard into a high-stakes action beat. Luffy's direct confrontation with Fujitora escalates the tension between the Straw Hats and the Marine power structure, reinforcing the consequences of their actions on Dressrosa. It sets the stage for the crew's eventual escape and the broader fallout that will shape alliances and rivalries moving forward.
