==== Types considered: Reaction, combat, and burst speed. ====

===== - Baseline: bullet- to lightning-class reactions from pre-Gear 4/5. =====
* With Future Sight (Advanced Observation Haki): - Functionally precognitive—Luffy sees attacks before they happen. - Physically, that maps to effective reaction capacity in the range: - 104–105 m/s10^4\text{–}10^5\ \text{m/s}104–105 m/s (Mach 30–300 equivalent, but with precog layered on top).

===== From Snakeman/gear scaling + toon-force: =====
* Typical Gear 5 striking speed: - ∼2×104→8×104 m/s\sim 2\times10^{4} \rightarrow 8\times10^{4}\ \text{m/s}∼2×104→8×104 m/s - Mach ~60–230

===== When Luffy fully abuses cartoon elasticity and inertia-breaking: =====
* Bursts can be reasonably set around: - ∼0.1c≈3×107 m/s\sim 0.1c \approx 3\times 10^{7}\ \text{m/s}∼0.1c≈3×107 m/s (relativistic fraction)
* These are not his every-move speed, but his top-end “serious mode” blitz actions.
