http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/784/5 Luffy kicks away sandals (obviously to allow for feet to inflate) Unlike G3 where he blows into thumb, he blows into wrist Unlike G3 where it inflates his bones, G4 inflates his muscles instead, that's why the size of his arms aren't as huge as G3. This means that his bone size is relatively the same (maybe stretched a little bit), which is why his arms are crunched together like that. And this gives him the "spring force" to propel his arms and deal devastating blows which is why his blows do more damage than no gear/g2, and the fact that bone size isn't enlarged might be the reason why he doesn't suffer from slowness of G3. Although I didn't like G4 at first, the idea makes perfect sense to me As for how Luffy deflected Doflamingo's haki attack, the only thing I can infer from the last page of the manga is that you can block haki imbued attacks with armament haki on the attacked part.

Maybe he isn't strong enough to do it yet but somewhere down the line will he mix the two and go into super over powered rubber mode? Looking at this page: http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/784/7 I think Luffy might be in G2. Not sure though. | ||

Looking at this page: http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/784/7 I + Show Spoiler + think I think we always knew Haki can block Haki, What stood out to me about it all was the fact he was still rubbery even after the arnament hardening as pointed out by Doffy. Makes me think Luffy did something weird with his haki? Why else did he put on his haki before blowing into his arm? For G3 he inflates and then coats his arm in haki, for G4 he did it before inflation? | ||

Though at first look I took that more as compressed air leaving his body or something along those lines as it seems a bit thick for steam. In the lead up chapter he looked to not be in G2 anymore and he wasn't shown going into G2 prior to G4. But that does look like steam or something surrounding him so could be I really don't know. | ||

Luffy will end up fighting Big Mama next (if there isnt any "side" ark on the way) 3. Luffy has made some other pirates look pretty pitiful before. While that is still possible remember back when luffy used gear 2 vs Lucci. Lucci was getting his ass kicked but had the the ability to hang on then Luffys G2 started wear him out and eventually he had to turn it off because it exhausted him that much. Then we had Lucci effectively explaining how G2 worked (although this is more for the audience as Luffy already knew how it worked) | ||

All of the other strong DF users have crazy OP abilities with seemingly no downside. Right now Donflamingo is about to kill the entire country with a seemingly indestructible cage while fighting 1v1 against Luffy. He can also make clones, swing off clouds and control people. Luffy's use of his DF isn't as crazy as those, but it's a novel and strong use of his DF. | ||

The gears are all about surpassing the abilities of a regular human body, after all, while other DFs don't necessarily use their own body for cool stuff. Since G4 increases his muscle size, I think it'll just be physically draining and he'll be on a bit of a clock to win (which is fine since the Birdcage is already a time limit) because he can't keep it up forever. Also some of his movements are really similar to Bellamy, yeah. | ||

It's a bit like the Kaioken, they give amazing boosts to Goku's abilities, but they also take a lot out of him. Similar to how much trouble Luffy had with keeping G2 and G3 going pre-skip. So I imagine G4 will be similar at first. | ||

The way people talked about Luffy's weakness made it seem like a specific battle weakness that could be exploited. Though speaking of DBZ Goku eventually gets super sayain forms which have no weakness and outclass Kaioken. well he couldnt stay super saiyan forever at the begnining and following DBZs lead is generally considered a bad idea noone wants another DBZ last thing we want is Luffy stomping out an entire island | ||

A matter of training. And I kinda agree that I don't want Luffy to go around destroying islands by punching them, although I guess he has to be able to do that if he wants to beat the strongest enemies. | ||
