Blueno, who is stronger than Kalifa, could not follow G2 Luffy's Jet Pistol.
Luffy > Lightning.
Lemme put it this way: The actual speed feats of their bodies moving around are consistently less than the speed feats of Naruto characters.
And high-tier One Piece characters both use and have been hit by guns and other much slower attacks, if the shooter is sufficiently skilled.
And One Piece characters consistently take noticeable amounts of time to cover short distances like crossing Thriller Bark or Marineford or so on. It's been central to most story arcs, even.
And lemme also note that I've made this lightning-speed argument about multiple other series before, including Naruto (remember for a moment that Kakashi's said to have cleaved a real lightning bolt with raikiri), but most famously with Negima.
Avoiding something fast has never meant being that fast oneself.
The argument's not in the least bit inconvenient for me. I mean, if I accepted it, it's a simple matter of, "Kakashi's a 'lightning timer,' Naruto's capable of moving much faster, case closed." It's just that it's an argument based on misunderstanding the difference between avoiding something fast and being that fast oneself.
