Did you forget that Luffy was jacked up on biscuits before he dealt the final blow? And did you forget that it was not only Luffy's attack that knocked out Cracker but it was also because he kept on crashing into his own biscuit soldiers?
"jacked up" on biscuits lol ok. Luffy was fat on biscuits which increased the launching rate. Cracker hit 3-4 of his own biscuits and then a bunch of trees and houses and who knows. Are you saying colliding with those few biscuits and environment is > or = to multiple G4 hits?
Did you forget how many G4 shots Doffy actually took during that fight and that was after getting hit with Red Hawk and an attack that damaged an internal organ. And fyi a field patch isn't the same as healing like a healing factor, yes Doffy was able to not die and sew up the wound but his organ wasn't in a state as if it hadn't been stabbed.
If Cracker was able to block G4 attacks then do you honestly think Gear 2/3 can do anything?
Entirely missed my point and we're not talking about G3 or 2 we're talking about Doffy's striking power in relation to the unknown range of force between G3 and 4.
We know there's a difference in power between G3 and 4 right, we agree on this?
We don't know if power levels in between are capable of breaking Cracker's biscuits right still agree?
We don't know where Doffy's attack power falls in line within the range of between G3 and 4. So we can't say with any certainty that Doffy can't "break" the biscuits.
Also you're assuming blunt force impacts are the same to stop as cutting attacks. The nature of the attacks gives Doffy an edge over Luffy in this regard.
Because he doesn't! If Doffy did have G4 level attacks then he would have used it. You are assuming Doffy has G4 level attacks.
Not having attacks stronger than isn't the same as not having attacks comparable to. If an attack can do similar affects on a similar area to someone else the attacks are comparable. Overheat is comparable to Red Hawk. Break White is comparable to a Kong Gun.
Are they better or equal, no but they're of a comparable level and until we've proven that there is no power within the range between G3 and G4, i.e. G4 power or > is required to beat Cracker, than we can't say as a fact Doffy couldn't also break Cracker's biscuits.
You're assuming Cracker could withstand attacks like God Thread and Break white while also overcoming the speed deficit and having shown no ranged skills.
If Doffy couldn't even harm G4 Luffy then what can he do Cracker? Someone who nearly cut G4 Luffy's arm in half...
G4 had the elasticity to help negate damages, something Cracker does not. If Doffy can get to Crackers real body it'd be Doffy's win. Cracker's real body sustained literally one attack. He could have went through 50 of his own biscuits and it still would be a push to say he took more damage than Doffy. Crackers a glass cannon, get passed his biscuits and he's done and I've already outlined why I think Doffy can get through his biscuits to get to his real body.
Also, I thought we went over this a while back, that cut from Cracker wasn't "half-way through his arm" that's hyperbolic. Yes he cut him but Luffy's arm wasn't in any danger of being removed or any significant damage from that "deep" cut. And before you say but he grabbed his arm and said ow, he continued to fight using that arm so clearly no significant damage came from that cut.
Then on the flip side how about Cracker.
You're assuming he has offensive strength greater than G4 since G4 is what is what was needed to put down Doffy.
How do you know his power is strong enough to break through Spider Web or Off White?
Luffy had "flight" how do you know Cracker can avoid Ever White?
I don't know why people are so determined to try and show Doffy as below 3rd mate level. Jack nor Cracker showed anything putting them above Doffy. Queen and Smoothie are unknowns. Kata would handle him and assuming the other 1sts are comparable they would too. I would place Doffy at a 50/50 2nd commander level. I really don't see a 3rd commander being able to best him.
