@clubber:
Iron comes from the earth and we haven't seen him do it yet. Franky would kick his ass.
Technically (from chemistry), "organic" means carbon-based. Iron, like carbon, is an element; iron does not contain carbon, and hence is "in-organic," or "non-carbon based". Thus, Gladius could burst Franky's iron parts. That being said, steel is an iron and carbon alloy - it may be the case that Gladius could not burst steel.
If we want to get less technical, "organic" is often used to denote living matter. This is closely related to our concept of "organisms" (all of which we know thus far are made of carbon, which is where they get the name "organism"). The question would then be: Are Franky's robotic parts "alive?" This is a difficult question. Depending on how you conceive of life and of bodies, there actually might be a strong case for Franky's robotic parts being "alive."
However, I find it implausible for Gladius' power to depend on more philosophical conceptions of life, body, organism, etc… One Piece has its own science, and most devil fruits work on what might be called "natural kinds" - fire, ice, steel, etc. My guess? Gladius can burst non-carbon based materials, including Franky's parts, whether or not these materials are "alive". A case for point would be toy people - definitely alive, but also "inorganic" insofar as Gladius' power is concerned, I think; answer the question "Can Gladius burst toy people?" and it will help you to answer the question concerning Franky.
Furthermore, whether WB could destroy wapometal is irrelevant. If WB couldn't destroy it, that is due to its strength - its physical hardness. Wapometal, in other words, has the surface property of being physically resilient to shattering ala gura gura no mi. However, if Gladius' DF works by bursting non-carbon based materials - the relevant level being that of molecular/elemental structure - then it is reasonable to think it may operate by bursting materials at a molecular level. At the molecular level, things like hardness aren't much of a consideration, as hardness is often a matter of how molecules are arranged; furthermore, things like shatter might not even make conceptual sense at a molecular level.
In other words, WB's inability to shatter wapometal has nothing to do with whether or not Gladius could burst it: their powers seem to work at different levels and in different ways. The question is, rather: Is wapometal carbon based, like - to some extent - steel, or not?

@Magi:
Two times?
Lets name all the people Luffy beat up in the name of revenge
That list is a little overstated, imo.
Arlong - To free Nami
Wolves - To save Bon clay
Bellamy - To get the treasure back
Enel - To stop his rule/destruction of Skypeia
Moriah - To get back everyone's shadows
Boa sisters - Forced to?
Really, most of these could be spun as "stop someone from causing harm to his friends" rather than "make someone pay for causing harm to his friends." Even in the latter case - things like Mochi and Richie - I don't see it as "I'll make you pay" as much as Luffy simply doing what he wanted, which happened to be hurting Mochi and Richie. Also, I think all this is tied into the theme of Luffy destroying dreams when he beats people, but that's a big topic I don't want to get into right now :P

Revenge - a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance,
He got angry that they were hurting Bon so he bit one of them and knocked out the rest.
So yes, it was, by definition, revenge.
Grievance: a wrong considered as grounds for complaint, or something believed to cause distress2.
a complaint or resentment, as against an unjust or unfair act
There was no grievance. Luffy did not see the wolves as wronging Bon Clay; he saw a friend getting hurt and put a stop to it. He did not view it as "unjust" or as "unfair." He doesn't care about "justice," and he has always stuck me as a Nietzschean irrationalist Ubermensch kind of guy - he doesn't do things because of "fairness," he does things because he can.
Furthermore, as a general point, he does not hold grievances, or grudges. After whomping Bellamy way back when - which was simply an expression of his anger coupled with retrieving a friend's gold, rather than out of feelings of resentment or injustice - he now somewhat respects Bellamy, and considers him a friend.
Let as much time pass as you like - Doffy and Law won't be palling around ever again, at least not mutually.

@Magi:
Luffy, law and Doffy are in the same line of work. What reason would they have for caring about what the other did as a pirate? That's what they do.
That's like a Nazi member condemning another Nazi member for doing something that Nazi's do. If they killed their child or something, on the other hand, then they'll care a whole lot more.
It isn't a point about Luffy condemning Law because of Law's revenge motivated action. It is about story-telling (I think). You don't let Hitler die without mentioning the holocaust.
Lastly, btw: I agree with you that, based on the conception of "pure" given out here, Luffy's actions/intentions/motivations are not pure. I do think they are "pure" in a different sense though: He feels things, and acts instinctively based on what he can do. He is not much of a planner, he does not internalize emotion (revenge and grievance requires an internalization of negative emotion); rather, he feels something and expresses it outwardly at his environments and at the causes of his feelings. Sometimes he does this for some goal - get back the old man's gold - but sometimes it is pure expression - I am angry and I am going to kick your ass for it. I consider this to be "pure," in a way, and it incapsulates the freedom loving pirate's mindset - 13 years of revenge mongering really isn't freedom.
