I managed to snag someone's script for that particular chapter, and they mention something odd concerning Foxy's power. Seems the fruit gives him the ability to emit a beam of, for lack of a better word, "slow slow particles" (think of them like photons). These particles are what cause things to slow down. The interesing bit is that according to this person's translation, the particles only affect things that are exposed to the light. So I guess that would mean that if luffy was standing in the shade, or if night fell, the power would be useless.
