In G5, Luffy is able to buff himself, as seen here
This is not muscle balloon, where Luffy simply inflates himself, here Luffy is literally increasing his muscle mass.
This is not a part of Luffy’s rubber powers and is hence most likely a standard part of Zoan awakening.
For reference, Chopper is able to do something similar, with his arm point looking very similar to what Luffy did in the panel I posted, so this definitely isn’t a Nika-specific power.
Awakened zoans have increased strength. Buffing ones muscles is likely a special technique of awakened Zoans. This is why the rumble ball allowed Chopper to do it.
imo Lucci will show this against Zoro. Saturn might also show this if he is forced to get serious.
