Relatively speaking. A penchant of Luffy's is that he never really goes balls out till the middle of the fight. In the beginning, he gets smacked around quite a bit, especially by people who are in the very same league with him. For example, Rob Lucci. He was able to clip Luffy many times. Law can do the same. However, given Luffy's nature to not put exactly 100% till the very middle, and the nature of Law's powers, Luffy getting clipped in the beginning during his "warm-up" so the speak is something that can't be afforded, and I don't see being avoided because it's just Luffy's nature.

I find that isn't big problem for luffy to lose one arm or one leg on the warm up, because he can still reattach later... And I believe Luffy's G2 is much faster than Vergos speed, so Luffy can dodge Law attack. .... Maybe, comparison what will happen between Luffy Vs Law ... is.. Zood Vs Skull Knight, even though Zood got his arm cutted, he can still reattach latter and continue to fight.

Hardly. Law cuts Luffy's arm, and in the moment Luffy processes his arm is gone, Law Shambles it. Or, he could cut him at the waist, and Shambles away either his lower or upper body.

I don't think it would be as simple as that. I mean, obviously Law wouldn't be able to cut WhiteBeard, and if Luffys armament haki is strong enough it won't affect him. Law's other attacks will though.

Meh. Law could cut Doffy's Haki using just his physical strength, so I doubt Luffy has strong enough Haki to defend against Law's powers.
Luffy won't let his opponent to hit him if his opponent is a swordsman. Because, he knew that Swords are his weakness. His battles with Zoro and Mihawk are best examples. Law ain't hitting Luffy as easily as you thought.

You didn't understand what I meant. It's not about whether or not Luffy is gonna let Law hit him, it's gonna happen at some point during the fight. Like I said, Luffy has been clipped multiple times before, that means hit with an attack he couldn't avoid. Mihawk was able to hit Luffy multiple times, but that was because Mihawk's slashes travel, which gave Luffy the ability to dodge some of them, but some made contact. With slashes that don't travel from Law, that just happen on you, Luffy is gonna have a harder time dodging. He may be able to dodge some of Law's strikes, but not all of them. Luffy will get clipped, and he'll clip Law. The problem here is, Law can afford to be clipped by Luffy, but the same can't be said vice versa.
The fights that you are talking about are different, this is a battle with a swordsman and Luffy is fully aware of the fact that he's weak against swords means that he's not going to play this game like he always did. Zoro vs Luffy is an example. Luffy was careful about Zoro's swords and never let him land a fatal blow. I admit that Luffy may not be able to dodge all of Law's attacks but he's not going to let him land a hit as easily as you thought. It won't be a mid or low dif fight like you said before.

That's my point, Luffy isn't gonna be able to dodge all of Law's attacks. Law will have difficulty getting a hit in, but once he does, it can turn into his favor greatly. Yes, it's gonna be hard to hit Luffy, but once he does, that's when it becomes low-mid diff depending on how he hits Luffy. If he gets Luffy at the waist, that's pretty much low diff because he can Shambles away one half of Luffy's body and kill him by attacking the half that's left. If he cut him at like, his arm, or one leg, then it's mid diff.

I've been saying this from day 1 of the timeskip...
People have overhyped the strawhats it's the exact same mistake that was made with Smoker and Bastielle on a lesser scale etc...you expected these characters to be on a higher level.
The only difference between Smoker and the Strawhats is they haven't battled a strong enough opponent to test them they've demolished fodder which made them look stronger...
Besides I don't think Luffy is out just yet he might have just actually you know took the hit...
I could not realy see anything lol
What's interesting to me is that Oda first has to send Law and Luffy trough a load of skirmishes like Fujitora, Colloseum and now Bellamy
before actually battling with Doflamingo. They will still beat him in the end.
