I don't think he is, but depending on how he handles G4, he may or may not turn out to be extremely close to them. So far he handled g2/3 more impressively than Cracker and much more than Doflamingo who struggled quite a bit against it.
It also shows how much Fujitora was trolling in dressrosa....
When did doffy struggle "quite a bit" against gears 2/3.. :| if that was the case then why would luffy go g4?
Idk why people shit on doffy so much... now apparently g 2/3 are his level (not saying you said this bogard that's for another person. However please show me the struggling because I honestly don't remember him struggling..)
When doffy after his fight still has some things going for him in terms of feats for the fights
Only of luffy s opponents to take onslaught of gear 4th
Not once but twice
Was able to tank more than one named attack
Still is the only person to literally force luffy to use his strongest attack to date
Had arguably more difficult partner to deal with as opposed to nami, (I mean there's law who is literally right under luffy in terms of power, 100's of citizens who died protecting luffy, hell you can even add viola as if I remember correctly she was the last one to defend luffy or was it her sister idk but you get my point)
Got up way faster after being hit by kong gun (for cracker respectfully)
I mean aside from katakuri (and he hasn't been hit by a direct attack yet), dofflamingo himself has handled gear 4th better and in a much more aggressive manner then cracker who until proven otherwise is still struggling from one hit as opposed to an onslaught (was crackers strategy affective against g4? Without a doubt prob the best we wi 'll see tbh but when faced directly in front of it he went down pretty easily, kind of like in d&d when a rogue crit fails in front of a barbarian)
With that being said I believe I want to place katakuri > all of luffy s current main villains of the new world (aside from moma herself) however I feel like it is to early to tell and we are having titles cloud our judgement. I mean look at sabo, does anybody remember when the sabo fans first got created. Jesus they sword up and down that sabo could take out literally every person he was put up against. Thank God they got humbled by fujitora, his bounty reveal and just plain common sense that the second commander is not the first commander. If people still think that, aside from himself, sabo is the strongest thing he could muster up against the full force of the WG then wtf up lol.
I mean there's the fleet admiral that dragon would face off
Then there's the commander in chief (still kong, which btw is higher position than fleet admiral however idk if it's stronger etc)
Then there's the three admirals
Let's not forget the cipher pols (0)
And last but certainly not least, the group that everyone shits on but in reality is literally set up like a yonko pirate crew. Yes I'm talking about the warlords
At helm is mihawk yonko lvl basically confirmed (to me with warlords being his crew without it hes admiral to me because he would not be able to just keep multi territories on his own)
His first and 2nd mate doffy and kuma with brain (if has haki could switch between him and doffy idk who's stronger tbh)
3rd mate boa Hancock
Then you have talented ace lvl or lower fighters
Croc
Jinbe
Law
Moria
Then buggy the gag
(Didn't add wevile because he is featless and I don't know how I feel about him tbh) also this was prime warlords obv I'm referring to when croc got replaced by law which only made that team stronger and harder to deal with...
