You are pretending to be dumb to troll?
Watch your language.

or you genuinely didnt even bother to read what i said?
Of course I bothered to read your takes.
And for the case that you do not understand how a conversation works, I tried to refute your arguments. It's pretty simple, try it as well.

Oda keeps adding new forms of G4 at every damn fight Luffy gets, we saw one vs Cracker, we saw even another one vs Katakuri and we might even see goddamn G5 in this arc.
That's because Oda hasn't revealed everything from Luffy's training yet.
We do not know whether Bound Man was the only thing which Luffy learned during the timeskip.

Once again: Luffy had 1.5 years worth of training by Rayleigh in an island worth of very powerful animals. He developed Bound Man in the middle of the timeskip and when Rayleigh left him 6 months ago, Luffy sure improved his skills even furthermore.

Snake Man is a power up of his timeskip training, hence no asspull PU.

If Zoro pulls a new Asura form, will you call it an asspull PU as well?

This is a classical case of asspull powerup
No.

adding a new form everytime the character struggles
That's not necessarily an asspull PU.
Are you not familiar how PUs work in battle shounen manga? It can be explained like in Naruto (b4 the war arc), HxH... or like FT. And no, only because a character shows a new PU when he struggles with something, doesn't mean it's an asspull as long as it is logical within the story.

like dragon ball and its goddamn super sayian forms
???
Goku trained for all his advanced super saiyan forms. Especially for his god versions.

Yet again, there is a difference between G4th and SSJ as Goku did not have a 2 years TS in which he mainly trained and learned new techniques there.

every damn villain requires a new transformation to beat
Luffy's G4th forms are different application for match-up purposes.
His Tank Man was convenient against Cracker but would be literally useless against Doflamingo and even more against Katakuri meanwhile Bound Man was effective to Doflamingo but couldn't overcome Cracker's defense which wasn't an issue anymore with Tank Man.

Sanji's diable janble and Zoro's Asura might also make no sense just as much as Luffy gear's but at least they dont show new variant of it every damn time they fight someone.
You are comparing apples with oranges.
Luffy's G4th offers a lot of versatile forms as Luffy can shapeshift into various elastic forms by blowing air into his muscles.

Whatever Sanji does, he can just add fire to his legs, whatever Zoro does, he can simply grow more limps and swords, Luffy can make himself into a giant elastic ball, a literal tank or a much smaller version which is more speed-based.
As I said, you did not pay attention to the story and you refuse to believe that Luffy's G4th is not an asspull in fact. Oda simply does not want to reveal everything within a single fight.
 
Tobi Roppo (calamity contenders) fighting Brook, Robin, Nami, Usopp and Franky.

ppl: Doffy = Jack.

:josad:
Wanting to try and fight against a Calamity doesn't mean that the Tobbi Roppo are legit contenders for the title. Moriah, Crocodile, Ace, Kidd, Urouge, Apoo, etc.. etc... All wanted to try their hand at a Yonko, and got absolutely crushed. Didn't make them Yonko Contenders.
 
Luffy used invisible haki against Hody and he clearly underestimated Hody's bite strength. His haki doesn't have to be powerful to fuse it with his DF. That's how G4th works after all, rubbery + hardening.

Also, Bound Man's/Snake Man's strength comes from the tensile force, not mainly haki although haki takes a part of said mechanism.
gear 4 is a mix between armament hardening and devil fruit elasticity. reyligh said that it puts a great toll on the body and that was a year ago, but as we can see it still does. strain luffy's body to much.
there's like zero progress in that area. now you're telling me that luffy went from not being able to block hody's bite to performing a extremely taxing power up while he's weakened is not an asspull.
