You do realize that light speed in one piece is wildly inconsistent.
It is not. There is literally zero instances of light speed being inconsistent. It’s you who had decided that Luffy outrunning a laser beam should not be possible so youve decided that this is slow light
I want to remind you that Kizaru’s light speed kicks ALSO GET BLOCKED. People are capable of reacting to Kizaru’s light speed kicks. Weak people even. Sentomaru reacted to this kick. Rayleigh reacted to the kick that Kizaru was going to hit Zoro with. And yes in both cases Kizaru had turned his kick into light so they were both light speed
In your mind, literally no character should be capable of reacting to Kizaru’s kicks… Yet multiple characters do… and Kizaru isn’t going around tossing his light speed kicks at everyone since you know, PEOPLE CAN ALREADY REACT TO THEM VERY EASILY
You are doing circular logic. You’ve decided outrunning laser beam should not be possible so to explain it yourself, you’ve created the idea that Light speed is inconsistent. So the entire justification is in your mind. Your logic starts from you ridiculous assumption that in a fictional universe, it should be impossible for fictional characters to do fictional feats
this is of course ignoring the times when FASTER THAN LIGHT SPEED is brought up in this fictional universe… do you remember this?
