Actually, I'm pretty sure 4000 douriki is around Shichibukai level, considering how strong Lucci was. And are you insulting Momonga and Mihawk when you say "good" swordsmen? Those were the Marine elite he was fighting against, and no matter how many hormones he had, that wears you out. And so what if the teeth hurt, he took a lot worse from Crocodile, Magellan, and even Mihawk. One hit should be nothing for him after he went through the OP equivalent of WW2, and survived. All I am saying is that Luffy has taken worse, and this event is not up to par.

As for Hody being underwater, steroids, etc., don't forget that Zoro took him out UNDERWATER with ONE SWORD and with LIMITED AIR. Some fishman he is. Even if he wasn't drugged up, being slower than a human underwater is pretty pathetic.
