The point is, we haven't even seen Gear 5 fully used here.
Luffy went to Raisin man mode, then instantly came back up against Kaidou too. He has been drawn using 3 Named attacks on Kizaru so far & we're trying to say that he went all out because the fight was offpaneled & Luffy went raisin mode....
Not once has the narrative pit Luffy as the "underdog" in the fight or Kizaru as a milestone for Luffy to powerup & surpass. It is very clear that it was just Troll Yonko v. Troll Admiral so far & round 1 ended here.
I answered this atleast 3 times before.
It's not about using Bajrung Gun or not. It is about going "all out".
Luffy going all out is able to fight at a level where Islands get decimated.
Against Katakuri, he used Boundman, we were shown it being utterly useless & then we were introduced to Snakeman.
Which was him being serious.
Luffy has used literally just 3 Named Attacks v. Kizaru and you want me to believe he went all out... lol.
