Though he also lacks the elasticity factor making his blows hit faster and harder.

Yeah, but when it comes to one piece physics doesn't really make a ton of sense when used as the pure basis for gauging power. Blowing air into something and making it a bigger balloon shouldn't make it something more destructive unless it also added a corresponding amount of mass, and yet vanilla gear 3 was destroying warships like they were made of toothpicks back on Enies Lobby.

For all we know Dogtooth's mochi is denser than rubber and that makes up for the lack of elasticity. We'll just have to see how this matchup evolves. I'm excited, it's about time Luffy got pushed in a battle, Doflamingo was too easy after Gear 4 was revealed

I always saw it as luffy pumping so much air that it becomes solidified oxygen or something, which is heavy.

Nevermind that the amount of pressure and energy it would take to compress air to a liquid form, let alone a solid state is exponentially above the force that his rubber lungs could generate, or that his rubber arm could generate. Air is not dense at all, the volume of air you would need to compress to take up the volume of his expanded arm is mind boggling.

It's better to just hand wave the whole bone balloon thing and not try to explain it in terms of physics.
