[Discussion] The gears are all equal.

What if DD body absorb the attack.So impact on building was not enough.Also this building is stronger then building on fishman island

1. The more massive you are the more inertia you can absorb but doffy went flying so couldn't have had absolutely absorbed the blow
2 it wasn't a building it was a shipbthat was the size of an island and it was ae to remain intact for 900 years at the bottom of the sea under the pressure of the ocean. Its definitely more sturdy.

Confused myself. But if I remember correctly,doffy was able to react and block the punches of G2 Probably due to CoO but with G3 genes easily dodging it. But G4, he couldn't react At all except once through out the fight. I think it's testament to the speed of G4. It's prolly faster than G2 and with the added advantage of Sky walking/flying

Would you wish it to become possible if Luffy used G2 with G4? Would G2 make G4 a bit different? More speed maybe? Maybe Oda will think of using all current 3 gears at once against Doffy. Speed, bones and muscles. I guess Luffy might look like a giant a bit more or more like Doffy in hight and body. Something like Gon's ability of growing into adult shape.

G4 is faster than G2 bro and also he might be faster than Sanji in G4. Also fighting Kizaru isn't about speed its about observation mix with reaction

He used what gear to break down the biggest thing he broke i.e. noah? Not gear four.
Which gear can he use soru in? Not gear fourth.

Why would he risk losing haki for 10 minutes to destroy noah?... Gear 3 has greater AoE which is the perfect reason to use it on an enormous mass such as noah. Gear 4 has high attack potency but less AoE... It's like how you can put a bigger hole in a wall fist your fist than with a bullet but the attack potency of bullets still packs more of a punch than a fist.

Now I feel that the gear 2 vs gear 4 speed difference is debatable but the key difference is gear 2 is more agile while gear 4 is more versatile speed (high speed flight along with attack speed))

He did react and block Gear 4 punches, he just wasn't strong enough to stop them.

If you look at the fight, he is trying to block the Gear 4 punches but he gets sent flying anyway.

but he also reacted to G2 by blocking it but it was lacking power. He blocked G4 but was still sent flying So I agree with that. But does that mean G2 = G4 in terms of speed?

 

[ArabianLuffy]

It's so confusing whether both G2 and G4 are equal in speed or different. Though the mechanism of these two gears are different.

Blood-Stream Pace.

Muscles (Double-Muscles or Muscles Enhancements)

G3 is certainly an extra power-up.

last bet would using all 3 gears

or using G3 + G4 makes sense

luffy isn't the guy who holds back when people needed him. If you remember correctly he passed out from blood loss after that fight so losing his haki wouldn't have mattered.

And if we are goin g with AoE bullets have puncturing power and in neither gear three or four does luffy have the same gear three causes more destruction and has been giving out better feats since prior to the time skip.
Gear three is a tank gear four is a shotgun and gear second is an assult rifle while base luffy's punches are just about pistols.

G2 is most likely faster, it simply isn't strong enough to overpower Doflamingo.

Gear 3 can overpower Doflamingo but it is too slow to keep up with him.

Gear 4 is slower than Gear 2 and has less power than gear 3, but it makes up for it by still having high speed combined with high power, its a balance of the two.

 

[BSK]

It's actually stupid to think G4 is not superior to both in power and speed.

But on fishman island rock has moisture & can be made up of shell or coral reef
