There's a very, VERY specific moment when Oda decided to, not only halt, but regress luffy's progression.
It was the "are you having fun, kaido?" panel.
This comment covers some of it.
But it's also things like him saying nobody should be laughed at when they die, as well as him telling Cracker he's always serious when he fights, and then laughing his ass off while Vegapunk's fresh corpse is right behind him.
I specifically Said Structured like Elbaf………
But After Jabra in 06
You had Sanji Vs Absalom in 2007
Sanji Vs Duval 2008
Sanji Vs Watudsumi in 2011
Punk Hazzard-nobody fights fr
Dressrosa -Sanji leaves the arc
Zou- Sanji isn’t there
Wholecake Island- Rescue and Escape arc, Strawhats don’t fight BM pirates.
Wano- All out War for Wano -Strawhats get fights in 2021
Egghead-is a pit stop arc Strawhats aren’t there to fight
Elbaf- All out War Again……..
Even with Lucci who technically was a little less serious than the Vegapunk stuff, he still had Sentomaru on the verge of passing out bleeding profusely after the same guy Luffy was fighting at the moment had just stabbed Sentomaru in the gut, and Luffy chose to play around and even pretended to fall asleep while dodging Lucci's attacks.
I don't know why Oda not only decided to make a form where Luffy's constantly laughing and hopping around like a methed up lunatic, but also chose to have most of his gags in that form happen in extremely serious situations where people that may be or actually are dying and depending on him to help them out.
Imagine being Usopp, the weakest Straw Hat, and a top tier has gripped you by the neck, and all this moron Luffy can do is pop his eyes out at the scene and go "Oh nooooo he actually tricked me!!! :000"

Sentomaru surviving that was total nonsense tbh. Dude had a whole ass hand shoved through his chest, and are we really supposed to believe the world's best assassin didn't hit a vital spot?

I mean, it's a a manga, so that's fine. It's not always going to be realistic
Even if Lucci hit a vital organ, we've seen Luffy survive a fairly big stab wound from Katakuri in WCI, so it's not that crazy.
Or if you want an example of a less important character, Hajrudin survived 80% of his skeleton shattering, even though that almost definitely popped some of his organs due to the sharp, shattered bones hitting them.

Saying Sanji isn’t getting anything is an even dumber take ……….How long you been reading One Piece? When have we ever had an arc structured like this and Sanji didn’t get anything? You must’ve started reading in Egghead or something……
Sanji's flames didn’t hurt Robin but burned the thorns, giants wouldn't be able to do that without setting her on fire
They also wouldn't be able to cut the thorns with such precision to not hurt Robin like Zoro did
Most of them are focused on brute and devastating strength, not precision and accuracy. Most of them aren't even smart, they were known as a nation who enjoyed starting battles for no good reason, thats the opposite of smart
