I’ve seen the suggestion that Luffy has surpassed the monster trio, his ambition going farther and being harder than surpassing the ambition of the strongest swordsman, like Mihawk said, and is in a whole other league now, and that Jinbe fills the void in the monster trio now, which is an interesting take.

imagine if he used asura from teh beggining zoro would come and beat lucci to 
also zoro could take more damage than luffy
