Well yea obviously I fully expect Luffy to look better if this fight continues. If it doesn't...then welp. I'd have a hard time seeing Kizaru not above Luffy.
Even with that said, the implied uselessness of anything below G5 here has been extremely disappointing for someone who was going toe to toe with Kaidou without it. Kizaru has made Luffy overall look bad this fight. Plain and simple. Moving forward Luffy will have to pull through somehow, toughen it out and show the fake consequences he does in every battle.
I just thought we were past that point, and this would be a battle of equals, not of one dude bending over backwards just to keep up and remain competitive with the other.
