its kenbunshoku haki.. thats what oda was signalling. he used his haoshoku when he knocked down demalo's crew before.. and busoshoku when he punched the pacifista. however luffy was still fast enough to dodge sandersonia's attacks even though she was predicting his movements, and that was before the time skip.. so yes luffy is a speed beast. Also Luffy's rubber ability goes very well with kenbushoku to the point where its hard for me to imagine him losing now.. which is why I dont think well be seeing him pushed to his limits in this arc.. maybe alittle if he fought big mom.. but definitely not against a fishman.
