@Cinera against Cracker he used hardening, against Hody invisible Haki, and he got bitten to the neck. Saying his Haki cannot protect him from this kind of damage yet.

> Lastly cracker matched doffy's feat of out lasting g4 and would have done so multiple times if his biscuits were not nerfed.

@LANJI CUCKSMOKE: Doffy did not just outlast it though. He dealt a lot of damage to Luffy, and by the time G4 ran out, Luffy couldn't move his body at all. Cracker wasn't able to deal significant damage to Boundman.

> @Cinera I think it is usually hinted when someone becomes stronger

@comrade: this is a very good point. I guess I would retract my claim that he grew significantly stronger. I do think some of his abilities improved (at least his endurance and stamina), but not enough to grow a level. Certainly not compared to the FS, Advanced COA or Udon training.

@LANJI CUCKSMOKE: do you have any panels from before Law used Gamma Knife?

luffy not moving after boundman wasnt due to the damage doffy dealt
luffy gradually started handling going out of g4 better
by that argument he was able to run out of boundman after the beating katakuri gave him.
doffy simply stalled g4 with his awakening.
lets not forget cracker cut part of his arm in g4 with ease.

Luffy took much longer to use G4 against Kata than against Cracker. Do you want to argue that it's a point in Cracker's favour? Luffy going G4 so early against Kata seems to have mainly been desperation to get Sanji back quicker.

Before Gamma Knife, Luffy never laid a hand on Doffy without Law's help. Post GK, he could lay a hand on Doffy shortly, but after that, Doffy started dodging G2 from close range again and counter attacking. While still being massively injured. And it was just base Doffy, while Cracker in his armor was basically him at his strongest.

Oda in the SBS said that Luffy not being able to move after G4 was never the case. Never. He couldn't move after using G4 against Doffy because Doffy taxed him so much. With hakiless awakening. While Flap Thread already had portrayal of being >= Leo Bazooka in strength. With God Thread being even stronger.

@LANJI CUCKSMOKE: make a post in the Doffy power level discussion thread and tag me.

> luffy gradually started handling going out of g4 better

I think the biggest point against this is that he had G4 for over 6 months (Rayleigh left 6 months early), and I find it hard to believe that Luffy was left completely wasted each time he used G4 on Rusukaina.

Doffy may have simply dealt a lot more damage to Boundman than you previously thought.

@LANJI CUCKSMOKE: this was landed with Law's help and proves @comrade's point. Luffy was never able to put up a fight against Doflamingo pre Gamma Knife.

Extreme situations cinera forced him to grow explains it really.
now he goes g4 and pops right back out with no drawback as he did with the attack on the ship .

luffy was never really in the fight
pre gamma knife
it was mostly law before that
here's their full fight
disingenuous to say he cant put up a fight with g2/g3 pre gamma knife. More so they barely fought before the gamma knife .

@comrade this combined with the fact that Luffy had G4 for over 6 months supports Doffy damaging Boundman. It's very unlikely that Luffy was left wasted every time he used Boundman and for over 6 months.

@LANJI CUCKSMOKE but then again. Oda in the SBS already stated that Luffy never had the issue of not being able to move solely from G4 usage. Now that he has advanced Haki control, I'm sure that the duration of G4 is increased, while the Haki waste is reduced (due to better flow/control).

@Cinera indeed. He was fighting beasts in G4 for 6 months. He even had to develop KKG, which proves the beast could physically fight G4.

@LANJI CUCKSMOKE: I'll read the Imgur album you sent. So far Luffy's two attacks pre Gamma Knife ("Elephant Gun" and "Hawk Gatling") were completely ineffective.

Apoo's hype was disappointed by his will to run away as soon as Luffy got mad at him
