Of course the show is about Luffy, in the end he'll pull through. But in terms of a main rival who not only chases/causes trouble for, but also may help luffy throughout the series I think Smoker takes the cake for now.
We'll of course have to see
it just seems as though the crew's training counters smoker and his marines perfectly.
luffy trained specifically to fight logia users.
smoker
zoro trained under the greatest swordsman alive.
smoker's lieutenant's best talent is her swordsmanship, in which she was already weaker than zoro.
edit: honestly, smoker is the only enemy that keeps popping up, making your argument is the most logical thing to do.
i just think it's a poor choice and don't want it to happen.
i would just much rather see luffy fight against someone who knows how to use haki and is being trained by luffy's grandfather, and who has a mutual respect for luffy.
