Air, our atmosphere, is a fluid. And even if it was just gas, anything hit with enough speed and force is going to generate a resistance. Think running across water. Or a spacecraft coming back into the atmosphere catching fire just from the friction of the air! Geppo is that same idea, kicking so fast and hard that your foot pushes against the resistance of the fluid medium of our air. Having said that, I think that’s exactly how Luffy’s punches change direction.
Yeah, I agree. While it makes a certain kind of sense in the story, it wouldn’t make sense in the strictest rules of physics. I mean to get his punch to change direction he would have to push his punch a lot faster for a moment to get it to change direction like that, which doesn’t make sense as to how he could do that...i'm perplexed how people here are discussing topics (and adding sciencefiction) each time further from reality. Kicking the air to fly makes absolutely no sense and using it to explain anything at all makes even less sense. There is no way in hell a punch (or any object for that matter) can change direction without losing speed, power, energy or whatever. Unless Luffy is bending the space-time continuum, this python stuff doesn't make sense.
My piece of advice: don't take it all so serious, pretend it's plausible, don't think about it again, enjoy the story.
what a week with no chapter makes with us
Nope, it's just that spoiler providers are more aware of his situation now, after middle December (i think) when two of them were found out and are in jail. An acknowledged fellow dismissed of this "work" and that's why spoilers are more hard to find.
Or just makeup maybe?

Dang, I haven't considered that Kaidou's perceived immortality may be tied to the Ope Ope no Mi!

They include the SBS, but I'm pretty sure they don't have any color covers at all. Not sure about colored pages, either.
Luffy can become Pirate King without dealing with Big Mom ever again - he got a copy of the road poneglyph. That was the purpose of the arc. Everything else, necessary or not, you can judge for yourself.
@TrueRaiKage Luffy has possession of 2 ROAD PONEGLYPHS that makes him the closest pirate to being pirate king. Closer than BM, Shank, Bb, Kaido... No one is closer to Rafael and I think that was the biggest take away from this arc
Bare in mind that while he has a Poneglyph, he's returning to fight her because you have to defeat the Emperors to prove your strength. It's not just gaining the Poneglyph.
Whiteboard had no desire to be Pirate King. If he desired to get to Raftel he could have, I have no doubt. But Luffy does. Having 2 road poneglyphs technically means he closest to reaching raftel by getting there not by recognition like WB. Big Mom and Kaido are in 2nd place with one each and the mysterious 4th one not in play yet. I mean he's closest in terms of means, not strength. Yes Whitebeard was closest due to strength but how could he have possibly gotten to raftel without the poneglyphs outside of declaring war on 2 Yonko and searching for the 4th? (perhaps the road poneglyphs weren't known about by the people who claimed he was the closest)
It was never stated that he has to beat them all. Neither did Roger. When he beats Kaido what better proof of strength does he need?
While he didn't have a desire, let's take into consideration that Emperors all fight each other in order to gain Poneglyph. In order to do this, it requires defeating them for the most part. Not everyone will have the privilege to sneak into territory and have a Brooke to hide the Ponegglyphs in their skull. The usual result would be Pedro's experience first time in Totland, they'd get there, and get defeated, so they'd usually have to defeat the Emperors to gain the Poneglyphs.

Bare in mind we don't have a record of all Roger did.
The Admirals will always challenge him, therefore, in order to traverse the seas, he'll need be able to defeat them.
