One Piece: 8 Characters Who Could’ve Killed Luffy

Monkey D. Luffy is the protagonist of the One Piece series. Throughout the long run of the story, Luffy has been able to come out on top in most of his fights. However, sometimes, he was clearly outclassed and came very close to death. While rare, some One Piece characters nearly managed to kill Luffy, but with luck, he was able to avoid the worst-case scenario, either thanks to the plot, or thanks to the intervention of another character.
