To be fair though, he's often needed outside help to defeat some of his enemies or only because of luck. He nearly drowned when he fought Arlong and had to have his friends keep his head afloat for him, he only defeated Crocodile because Robin saved him and miraculously survived being drained by Crocodile thanks to water falling from the air, he was spared by Lucci and CP9 when they first met, needed encouragement from Usopp to get back up against Lucci, needed to have citizens help delay Doflamingo at Dressrosa, had to hide against Katakuri for several hours, and lost twice against Kaido in their second match. Not saying that he doesn't have skill and that his accomplishments aren't remarkable, but don't act like he did all of it himself or that he wouldn't have died several times.
