The clones would have reached Luffy and he would have had to stop the gataling in order to dodge any moves coming from them. If Luffy needed a Kong Organ just to take out 5 of them a bunch of them + the orignal Cracker is overwhelming Luffy up close. I just said why he jumped out in the other post, he saw an opening. Just because he hates pain doesn't mean he's stupid, he saw an opening and took it.
No ground? They were close to Luffy and were advancing, while the only things that were crumbling were their shields.
When did I say the SHEILDS (plural) weren't crumbling? I said the main clone body themselves weren't crumbling. Only one of the clone's sheilds were crumbling in the link I posted and they weren't even fully destroyed, you stupid f**k. When did I say the CLONES THEMSELVES were G4 level you dumb****? This discussion wasn't CRACKER'S CLONES vs Luffy, it is CRACKER vs Luffy.
Luffy was making no grounds on Cracker and when Cracker and the clones attacked together Luffy couldn't go on the offensive.
Like I said there's nothing proving those clones were going to overpower Luffy, all this shit your saying just sounds like a big ass assumption. Those clones are so weak to G4 he can two shot them, how in the hell would they overpower him? The number of the clones also doesn't change a thing when he can simply two shot all of them.
They never got in close enough though so this is baseless, they never had the opportunity to overwhelm Luffy, and as Cracker was telling them to advance there shields were crumbling one by one, if G4 can two shot these clones individually he sure as hell isn't getting overpowered by them.
He found an opening and still failed to significantly harm Luffy who was focusing on the clones and were bound to destroy them. Your not proving anything with this shit.
The clash between G4 and the clones was like a few panels not even a few pages, it didn't last long enough for the clones to get destroyed honestly. Regardless Cracker tried to attack when he found an opening and still failed. SIMPLE
Cracker didn't do jack shit to Luffy in that instance either, so he was making no grounds on Luffy either. SIMPLE
