building it up how?building up potential energy.
Again, the calc doesn't consider the rifle's wind-up. It takes Luffy being suspended in the air and punching the ball forward. It specifically doesn't account for the wind-up, just the physical force
In real life you can swing a sledgehammer DOWNWARDS and break a rock. That's gravity doing half your job for you. Nobody is breaking a rock with a sideways swing via sledgehammer unless they use the sledgehammer like it's lightweight. Luffy didn't swing it with gravity aiding him, he swung straight forward from behind his back. If I gave you a sledgehammer and say "use one arm to lift it off the ground and hit a rock without raising it over your head" that hammer isn't moving half as fast as your arm would otherwise, let alone hit the rock at all.You can swing a sledgehammer and break a rock, you cannot then punch that rock and break it.
Swinging things that weight less than you with your full body weight adds force.
Swinging things heavier than you that require your whole body to even move at ALL shouldn't.
Also KT brought it up way, way earlier. But we might as well start increasing the KE of characters who weight heavy weights because it's the same premise anyway. Goku's stronger with his weighted clothes on. Piccolo is too. Rock Lee as well.
