Don't really agree with that... When luffy showcases his speed he usually blitzes doffy
Here he showcased his power

Completely blitzing his movement speed
Here luffy isn't even utilizing his speed to hit doffy, he's just attacking via stretching his limbs

Here we see even luffy's stretching his limbs is faster than doffy

Here doffy needed to use his awakening to even keep up by utilizing AOE

Yet still didn't stop luffy and outpaced him and his awakening
https://****************/wp-content/uploads/WP-manga/data/manga_617f9817c8904/c90d916b7ea7808750de65c198d1e9c6/198-199.jpghttps://****************/wp-content/uploads/WP-manga/data/manga_617f9817c8904/c90d916b7ea7808750de65c198d1e9c6/200-201.jpg
And then KKG which also looks like it blitzed Doffy's movement speed
https://****************/wp-content/uploads/WP-manga/data/manga_617f9817c8904/0386e594542cfd779c26523b9fc10db3/096-097.jpg
Doffy couldn't keep up with gear 4th at all, Could only react to him.
And I don't really agree with you.
When BM Luffy showcased his power with Kong Gun, Doffy was still fast enough to put his guard up and protect his arms with Armament Haki
Yes Bound Man blitzed Doffy. But you do realize that Doffy was showcasing his speed as well by being quick enough to protect his face with Armament Haki before BM Luffy even landed RS, right?
Saying Luffy isn't even utilizing his speed to hit Doffy, but is attacking via stretching out his limbs is such bs. It doesn't matter. Luffy tried to attack him and Doffy was quick enough to evade him and counterattack.
I've already mentioned how Doffy only got hit by that second Culverin because he wasn't expecting that Python to be a homing attack, it wasn't because it was faster than him.
You claiming Doffy needed his Awakening just to even keep up is straight up false.
You do know Luffy didn't outpace Doffy and his Awakening until after over 20 minutes, right?
Even if you try to use the KKG scene, Doffy still has more arguments in his favor than against him. Also, you just said just Doffy via Awakening was keeping up, now you say he couldn't keep up with Gear 4th at all. Make up your mind. And also, you're now saying he could only react to BM Luffy? Well if Doffy can only react to him, then he scales.
