watching this. what does guts go for as well as luffy?
Well Guts has his Dragonslayer, his massive sword that can easily slice through Apostles, which could cut through Luffy’s rubber body with little trouble. He has his arm cannon, which can fire small arrows but also fire massive explosions that can also seriously damage Apostles. He can use his mini bombs, which can easily be thrown discreetly and without notice, as well as his throwing knives.
You should already be aware of Luffy’s fighting style and feats, given you saw the match between Luffy and Gon. He’s an expert combatant who uses his rubber powers to increase the strength of his attacks.
In terms of combat experience, I’d say Guts has the advantage over Luffy. He’s been fighting since he was six years old, and has had to face some of the strongest warriors during the Hundred Year War. He’s had to fight countless Apostles with their own unique powers, and has even managed to fight Zodd, a legendary warrior, in both his human and Apostle form. He can quickly come up with strategies on the spot, react to the tricks and tactics of other expert fighters like Serpico, and use all the tools he has to exploit their weaknesses effectively. I believe this trumps Luffy’s battle experience, especially at this point in the story.
I also believe Guts has the superior stamina, since he has fought many Apostles who were stronger than him such as Wyald and Zodd and still managed to hurt them and even defeat them in Wyald’s case. He can continue fighting with broken ribs and damaged organs with little trouble, and has even managed to continue fighting after heavily exhausting fights with Apostles. Hell, he’s even LET himself be seriously injured in order to get an opening, which he could very well do here.
Guts has the AP advantage, and while he’s slower in regular speed, his combat speed is higher than Luffy’s, which would allow him to easily react to Luffy’s attacks.
Luffy has the LS advantage and regular speed advantage, and with his reactive power level, he could potentially even out the playing field. But even if he did manage to last that long, Guts would still be able to perform very well and likely outlast him in stamina, not to mention he’s used to fighting stronger and faster opponents on a regular basis.
