I’m of the opinion that G4 ever since it’s introduction in Dressrosa, the form has been nothing short of YC1 level in Raw Power. It is for this reason that I believe Oda kept a time limit on the form along with the running away drawback.
You might point to the Cracker battle and say this can’t be the case but G4’s lack of AoE and Crackers ability to mass produce powerful biscuit soldiers on a whim was imo just a bad match up for the form. As Luffys inability to get around the soldiers and hit the real Cracker was pretty apparent. Once the clones were dealt with the form pretty much dealt with Cracker relatively easy.
And if that’s not enough evidence we can check out the battle against Katakuri where upon losing his cool, Katakuri was pushed and knocked around by the form, indicating that it’s power was adequate against a YC1, but he just needed something to bypass Katas Future sight. Which ended up being Future sight of his own and a G4 form more focused on speed than power which ended up getting the job done.
Now upon gaining Advanced CoA, G4 and all it’s forms not just bound mans power has been pretty much taken to a new level and with FS stacked on top Luffy is now ready to go up against a Yonko.
I’m of the opinion that he did all the training he needed to do within the 7-9 day period so his level before the battle and after won’t really change. He became YC1 level upon beating Kata and with Udon prison and Haki training afterwards imo he should be in that space between YC1 and Admiral. Which I and others consider Low Top Tier.
What do you guys think? Agree? Disagree? Is Luffy low Top tier? Or is everyone waiting until after the battle to decide?
