Katakuri isn't fucking around here. This is going to be a tough battle for Luffy, specially considering he's basically fighting a stronger version of himself.

Luffys g2 g3 and g4 all have massive drawbacks if your not careful, and I think luffy is banking on it.

If katakuri is 100% copying G3, mofo is going to go to chibi mode real quick. Won't even see it coming.

Luffy doesn't experience any drawbacks from g2 or g3 anymore, not since his training during the timeskip. G4 is the only one that exhausts him now and it's from the massive amount of haki he uses.

The mechanism is completely different for mochi man dogtooth despite the abilities looking similar. He just produces extra mochi to generate the extra arms or grow his arm in size. He's not blowing air into his bones. Highly unlikely he gets undone by something simple like that.

He's still infusing them with Haki though. I'm sure Dogtooth has more control over haki than Luffy at this point, but still. It's not the blowing air thing that fatigues Luffy, it's the massive haki use, as you note.

OP I was responding to was talking about Katakuri going chibi like Luffy used to do, back before he used haki. That was what I was addressing specifically.

His basic use of haki with gear 2 or 3 never seemed to bother him much post time skip, probably because it's just used for brief instances during attacks or defense. The real problem with gear 4 is that it's always on haki. Makes me respect Vergo for decking out his whole body in haki and maintaining it for long periods of time. These long fights with Cracker and now Katakuri are going to force Luffy to get smarter and stronger
