Heh.. It's only because there is an army of clones between him and cracker. I'm more surpised to see Luffy after 11 hours in his base form without so much as an injury whilst facing a Yonkou commander.

What sneak attack? Luffy was getting WHOOPED before Gear 4 through straight blows. Then in Gear 4, he got a huge gash in his arm.

Yea and now we are 11 hours further and Luffy is still not defeated by a Doflamingo level opponent. These are the facts.
No way Luffy used g4 for 11 hours so apparently he can could hold his own perfectly well with g2 and g3 albeit not doing damage, but seemingly also not receiving any besides 1 cut

There's no way Luffy held off Cracker's "infinite" army of biscuits with Gear 2 or Gear 3 when one of them rendered it useless and was beating the shit out of him in those forms.

Guys I don't think we'll ever actually get to know exactly what happened in that fight so let's just go with what we know Luffy ate the biscuits. Luffy's appetite is what will give him the win over Cracker.

His G4 time limit could've increased and the backlash from using it could've decreased and during this time he ran away and ate biscuits. Idk exactly what happened but the least we can get out of this is that G4 drawbacks have been reduced somehow.

It's probably because he's eating all those crackers. Let's look at what we know:

Gear 2 works by pumping his blood much faster, causing his body to use more nutrients for a higher intake of energy. That results in his body using up energy faster for more power, and the steam is an indicator of that.

Gear 4 has the steam, which indicates that, like Gear 2, it uses a lot of energy like Gear 2 does, maybe not from the same doping mechanism though. But, it's really likely Gear 4 uses an excess in energy to maintain the Haki usage for such an extended period of time, since as we've seen, when Gear 4th runs out, Luffy becomes very physically weak. When his Haki comes back, he's able to exert himself again. This implies a direct tie-in between Luffy's physical energy and his Haki.

Luffy has also shown that he can replenish his energy by eating food. After the colosseum he was tired and got his energy back from the meal Rebecca bought him, and he explicitly said that eating meat replenished his energy in Enies Lobby after he fought off all those marines.

I've always suspected that Luffy is capable of using Life Return, the thing Rob Lucci and Kumodori or whatever his name is, use to control their bodies. The latter even said it can be used to rapidly metabolize large amounts of food so you get a ton of energy and you don't get fat. Luffy showed this a couple times, mostly gags, but in Impel Down, he seemed to genuinely use Life Return when he metabolized all that food he ate back into muscle to return his frame from its emaciated state.

So, he can probably do the same process here. He eats all of Cracker's biscuits, which are carbohydrates so they're high in energy storage. Then he uses Life Return, probably unconsciously, to metabolize all of that into physical energy he can use which allows him to sustain his Haki for Gear 4th.

Yea Luffy replenishes his stamina/energy/vitality through eating, he literally works like a video game character, so that's how he is able to maintain himself for 11 hours. He probably tires himself out just enough so he can still eat the crackers, then rinse repeat.

Man this fight makes no sense anymore.

Leave it to Oda to make a joke out of a Top 3 Yonko commander.(it was funny though)

Seriously? How is Luffy even still alive at this point? And without G4?

Also am I the only one who thinks that Cracker constantly feeding Luffy his biscuits is going to make him much stronger?

His Time Limit in G4 is going to substantially improve and permanently at that when this is over.

It's not impressive when it's stated that he's running and hiding. Remember it's said that the jungle can confuse and trap anyone.

Makes sense but still feels stupid due to the fact that cracker can contend with a G4 luffy and he can't hurt him or end luffy in base mode. But I kno its humor but if this fight goes in luffys favor it would feel a bit cheap.
