Why do people assume G4 was made a joke by Kizaru? The man landed a single attack which he had to charge up to move at highest speeds to land in the first place. Even then Luffy had no clue what was happening. Kizaru just flew away only to fly back. How is this an indication that Kizaru was making a joke out of snakeman? During their exchanges Kizaru had acknowledged Luffy to be strong.
