Actually, this was peak Luffy:
Unfortunately not even this led to him to have any sort of character development, maturing even a bit, having his iq and seriousness rise by any amount. This was the perfect moment to bring One Piece to the next level and making it more of a Seinen. Very unfortunate. Post TS One Piece is not good and lives only from the hype it potentially could have, and the world building + cast.
