I agree with you

Z was an admiral before having his smasher that stops any DF ability

but in the movie he depends on his smasher so much and he lost to Luffy (Luffy didn't use his Gear 2nd or Gear 3rd when Z was without his Smasher). but the movie is very good and the plot holes were unnoticed, Z is beaten with a fair way (a good thing) because Z was old and he fought against the marines and he was Strong enough to do a big damage to them unlike Shiki who was beaten by unfair way (Luffy prepares his attack while Shiki was talking to Nami).
