Luffy is clearly faster than Smoker within short distances, and we've all seen how Luffy can disappear from one place and appear much closer to his target in a blink of an eye. And since Smoker was able to actually put a hand on Law's neck, then Luffy shouldn't have any problem doing the same.
That is agility. Which is entirely different to speed. Agility being how fast you can change direction, this is how Luffy fights using G2. Smoker putting his hand on Laws neck changed nothing since Law just warped away(of course he can't warp so often , but it will certainly keep Luffy on his toes).
Law clearly cuts people with his DF and not the sword itself, so considering this, the majority would be weak against Law's slashes and cuts. And Luffy had Rayleigh train him, so it wouldn't surprise me if he actually learnt how to handle a swordsman, even though we have seen no feats of this.
He cuts people with his DF? That's exactly why he swings his sword to use Shambles , right? And also why he split a mountain WHILE SWINGING HIS SWORD in order to cut Vergo, whenever Law cuts someone "with his DF (sword + DF combined, technically) they remain alive. This happened with everyone he has cut so far.
Luffy will win. Law got stomped by Doflamingo and for sure Doflamingo isn't stomping Luffy, more like he is the one who will get defeated by him by the end of the arc. We've seen that Smoker/Doflamingo was capable to pressure him in close combat which is Law's weakness. Law would have trouble to handle Luffy's speed in close quarters area and even his long range attacks are dodgeable especially with COO. So ultimately Luffy has the edge. I think Law kind of even admitted inferiority to Luffy latest chapter
Luffy is with Zoro. I believe it will be Zoro + Luffy vs Doflamingo. 2v1 is entirely different to a 1v1 and anyone when enraged seems to be stronger in OP e.g. Luffy and Whitebeard as a couple of examples. Smoker is faster than Luffy... If he can keep up with Smokers movements (although not moving as fast himself) he can certainly keep up with Luffy (although not moving as fast himself). Luffy has the edge. In fact Luffy would win comfortably if the distance at the start was short. But the long range grants Law an advantage (with his Shambles n stuff).
He didn't let doflamingo hit him in several occasions, he did it by force.
It's sad that you think luffy can't hit law in time from 50 meters away.
How fast is gear two Gatling gun?
Seriously though, luffy already knows how to handle a swordsmen because he has one himself.
All Law can do is plan and strategies how to beat luffy (Law's feats are through prep)
Well it's sad that you can't understand that Luffy is great at close combat, but that doesn't mean his long range attacks take time. Every one of his long range attacks require him to pull his arm back a long way (and therefore for a long time in terms of fighting time), Law can warp if he sees this coming, Law would be able to see what Luffy is trying to do if it's a long distance punch or kick. G3 is too slow, Luffy could only use it on Law towards the closing stages of the battle. You completely ignore Laws own speed feats for keeping up with Smoker (whom outpaced G2 Luffy when they found Caesar in a control room. Proving that Law can keep up with G2 luffy, although of course he can't move so fast ; he can still react.)
Luffy has never shown a G2 attack from beyond 20 metres. I think his longest ever G2 attack (in terms of range) was against Lucci, it didn't even cross the entire room.
Base Luffy = Normal Luffy , no drawbacks to his fighting style other than several second long prep for longer distance attacks (Law would see the long range attacks coming)
G2 = Faster and more power , the drawbacks are that it overstresses his heart and gradually shortens his life span aswell as limiting the range of his attacks. They're always shorter than base attacks. (If Law manages keeps his distance, i.e 50m or so then Luffy can do nothing, Luffy can only really use G2 to dodge Laws attacks and close the gap)
G3 = His power per strike increases exponentially. However he is slower than in base. (Law would easily dodge this unless he is heavily injured)
You may use that as a reference ^^
Don't think that just cause of his DF ability he's invincible, Vergo proved you can hurt Law when he's in his room. (If you're fast enough and we enough second gear is really fast). Personally, it can go either way but I would say Luffy is at disadvantage is he doesn't know the full extent of his ability but Luffy can win high-diff.
I never said Law was invincible? I said that his DF would give him the advantage over long range. Of course you can hurt Law in his room. Where did I say he is invincible? Where did I say he can't be hurt?

The distance wld play a part@and 50m is kinda advantageous to Law, but I still think Luffy takes this coz of G2 speed and CoO but Law gives him a hell of a fight, though if Luffy is caught by attacks like shambles and other ranged slashes it wld go to Law and Law warping about wld add the difficulty but the longer the battle the more Luffy's chances increase.
I love this guy! Now this guy actually knows where I'm coming from.
