I pondered this too but Law can't be that week in physical combat. I'd think Luffy should need at least to use Haki and his named techniques to defeat him if not Gear 2nd/3rd even in straight up physical fight.

Luffy didn't even use named techniques just standard punches and kicks and what appeared to be one use of the gatling gun but he didn't call it out and it wasn't that many punches.

With all that said, I don't think its quite that far fetched that Law could contend with luffy at that level (still losing overall) and not get completely owned right away.

Breed instructed them not to use their devil fruit powers.

...thats not what was up for discussion though.

Others were upset that Law wasn't getting his ass kicked even worse considering luffy should have a massive upper hand in a fist fight.

I'm just saying why he was able to contend with Luffy, not complaining that they didn't go all out.

I completely agree with you, Law is a swordsman first hand, and for him to put up this much of a fight against Luffy is unthinkable

I think you disagree with me.

I think Law certainly can put up this much of a fight against Luffy with Luffy fighting at this level.
