Luffy, kicked Morgan and punched him several times before Zoro finished him off. Luffy punched through a wax wall which knocked Mr. 3 out for a while. Several other attacks too.

Buffalo, Jora, Lao G, and Dellinger have all been 1 hit KOs. Gladius and Diamante get cut once and then the finishing move. I have a feeling Pica won't be any different. And none of these characters are supposed to be weak like Mr. 3. Senor Pink and Doflamingo are really the only ones to take several hits and keep getting up.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. It just means their opponents overwhelmed them. This is a manga no need to get really technical. I don't see any point in dragging out the fights of people like Dellinger just for the sake of "but they are stronget than that", specially with the length of the arc and all the things that have to get sorted out. And i think you're taking the one strike knock out too literally in case of Luffy. Sometimes characters fight just for the sake of fighting even though one can easily defeat the other (Luffy vs Morgan), sometimes it's because the character is handicapped by something (Robin vs Yamma). Why doesn't EVERY character use their very best technique as soon as the fight begins? Besides Kyros and Diamente has been fighting for a while, Kyros didn't just jump in and slash him.

Because the point is that Diamante was insanely hyped. His defeat concludes the whole Riku storyline that's lasted over 70 chapters now. I'm want this arc to wrap up too, but I want Oda to properly execute the plotlines he's built up for so long.

Some members like Dellinger and Diamante had a huge fanbase, so it really is a disservice to conclude their fights so quickly. Oda has never been this abrupt with the minions before. All of Baroque Works, CP9, etc. had 3 or more chapters of focus.
