One Piece Fans Are Loving Luffy's New Alliance with Kidd

One Piece fans know the ins and outs of the Straw Hat crew. They have known Monkey D. Luffy for well over a decade, and the pirate has changed plenty in that time. Still, there are some things about the boy which will never change, and that can be a good thing. After all, his rivalry with Eustass Kid isn't up for debate, and fans are loving the duo all the more as such.

For those who are not aware, Kid and Luffy are back in action together thanks to Wano Country. It wasn't long ago Luffy was tossed into jail after fighting Kaido in a braven stand. Now, the captain is left to work in a mining prison, and it was there he learned Kid was being held.

Of course, the pair are being tied down with their sea-stone cuffs, but the braces aren't enough to immobilize them. In fact, Kid and Luffy are thriving in the prison, and fans are loving their high key rivalry.

As you can see in the slides below, Kid and Luffy are playing off each other in the best of ways. For one, Kid is finally able to show off his true strength in the jail now that Luffy is there to push him. In fact, the Straw Hat leader is leagues above Kid, and they aren't afraid to show off to the guards... even if their overseers would much rather the pair shut up permanently.
