Since Monkey D. Luffy began his journey in the East Blue Saga of One Piece, he has faced numerous challenges and adversities. Each time, he has pushed beyond his limits and has forced everyone around him to survive in situations they never imagined.
Unlike most main shonen characters, Luffy is not a naive “kid” when he starts his journey. He unintentionally had to confront a wicked adversary and has been training hard for over ten years to hone his skills. Luffy left home at the age of 17, ready to face any danger that the sea might bring. Even when he encounters formidable foes and suffers losses, his unwavering spirit keeps him fighting for his dreams.
In the Wano Country Saga, Luffy battled against the strongest beings in the world, a formidable foe that no one anticipated could be defeated. Despite all his immense power, he still couldn’t overcome the overwhelming strength of the enemy. Furthermore, a CP0 agent attacked Luffy, and this assault could have resulted in death if Luffy had not been able to awaken his wicked power.
With the strongest Haki in the series and the ability to harness his wicked Zoan power, Luffy transformed into a force to be reckoned with, even to the point where the strongest adversary in the story hesitated to engage him in battle.

The Seven Warlords Want to Avoid Direct Confrontation with Luffy
The Seven Warlords appear in the ongoing Elbaf arc of One Piece. With the great war approaching, they want to avoid a confrontation with the Straw Hat Pirates, even if it means using their full strength. Shamrock Figarland, the leader of the Seven Warlords, ordered the other members to focus on their subordinate, in order to prevent the Straw Hat Pirates from gaining any advantage.
The impending attack on this peaceful nation is exceptionally tense, and the battle is still ongoing. However, Luffy has not yet joined the fray, and the exact reason is a concern for many. In chapter 1147, Gunko captured Nami, Jinbe, Usopp, and Brook. Sommers was hesitant about whether to bring the members to the fight, but Killingham insisted and cautioned against provoking Luffy’s wrath. He also mentioned that they should focus on achieving their own objectives before resorting to confrontation.
The objective of the Seven Warlords has always been to target the formidable adversaries, and they only retaliate when the Straw Hat Pirates are cornered. Nevertheless, this also indicates that the Seven Warlords do not want to face Luffy head-on. The Seven Warlords are a group of individuals who are currently the most secure in Mariejois. They possess the ability to teleport across vast distances in mere seconds, with no limits to their revival powers. All members have been introduced up to this point and are currently exhibiting their wicked powers.

Luffy’s Title Forces Adversaries to Take Notice
The title of Emperor is not merely for display; it signifies strength and the authority that a person holds. Luffy commands respect, with over 5,000 members ready to back him, and he has a loyal crew that stands by him. However, the most crucial aspect of Luffy’s character is his sheer strength that makes him a force against his adversaries. The world witnessed Luffy’s Conqueror’s Haki during the Marineford arc, yet only a few knew the extent of Luffy’s capabilities during that time.
Moreover, Luffy’s wicked power is considered the strongest in the world. Luffy has the ability to transform his imagination into reality, a unique trait highlighted in the story. Although his strength may wane with Gear 5, he possesses tremendous power to withstand any opponent. Gaban knew how to neutralize the revival abilities, which may relate to Haki. Thus, we can speculate how Luffy could potentially confront a Seven Warlord without difficulty.
The impending attack on Elbaf may present a significant challenge to the Seven Warlords, yet every situation may not be favorable for them if Luffy decides to participate. It is evident that they do not fully understand Luffy; a serious miscalculation could prevent them from successfully countering the Straw Hat Pirates. The battle is currently occurring in the Underworld as the attack unfolds. Fortunately, in chapter 1151, Luffy becomes aware of the situation and is ready to fight alongside Zoro, Sanji, and Loki.
