Don't take this too seriously. I was kinda bored 'cause Bleach was on Toonami and fuck if I'm watching that shit. I was kinda mourning the absence of OP calculations on my blog.
Spoiler:
The Wiki says Luffy's 1.72m tall in chapter 1.
1.72m/275px=x/124.1px
x=.78m
Spoiler:
.78m/22px=x/76.9px
x=2.73m
2.73m for the distance between the marines and about where Luffy landed.
Now, I know nothing about guns, so I had no idea what to look for when I was checking for the speed these guys could fire at. I looked up minie ball speed and got 950 feet per second, or 289.56m/s, http://www.historynet.com/minie-ball. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction, feel free.
2.73/289.56=0.00943s
Now to angsize Luffy's distance (the sixth panel is quite obviously from Luffy's perspective).
2*atan(tan(70/2)x(280/350)=58.51213528192
2*atan(22/(350/tan(58.51213528192/2)))=4.033152595952
Gives me a distance of 11.076m.
11.076m/0.00943s=1174.549310710498m/s
or about mach 3.
