Uh, I dont think Luffy wants to destroy Vegapunks island.
Okay thats fair but this is being overblown, he was still trying to do his mission anyways.
He was but he wasnt going all out though, hes mostly always going to be fighting people in G5 from now on.
I disagree, I can give you Kizaru not using Awakening and also not trying to fight Luffy head on but Luffy wasnt using ACoC and he was also not trying to put down Kizaru up until he literally got to the Straw Hats and Franky told him to do something, in which case WSG came out and immobilized Kizaru for a bit. Unfortunately he used it when he reached the limit of his G5.
So no Kizaru doenst have ''far more'' impeding him. Its actually kinda equal from both sides. Id say Awakening ~ ACoC powerup, and both didnt try to put the other down.
And Kizaru getting up from only one clean hit is something Id expect from any top tier at a bare minimum, so yeah I always expected him to get up. But since he got up first then he technically won.
But not in the traditional way, in that he didnt overpower Luffy or fought him head on. Most of it was a cat and mouse situation, you yourself can agree right?
I mean its still a W but imo it is overblown.
