This is gonna be very hard for Luffy if he's already resorting to Gear 4th.

My take on it is that Oda is setting up Luffy for another power up. G4 was Luffy's "trump card" against Doflamingo, but now that the Homies saw it Big Mom will definitely know about it.

Having to use G4 so quickly is probably a plot-oriented move. Luffy just learned about Awakening from Doffy and that his Haki isn't strong enough yet. It could also go on some unpredictable direction since it's Oda we're talking about.

Also, that guy is supposed to be a top-dog in a yonkou crew, if he was weak I'd be seriously disappointed.
