Huh? Luffy whom was fighting hybrid kaido in base had to resort on using the strongest formula he had to defeat kaido on Rob Lucci. Yes that is a huge L for luffy.
It's even more of an L since it goes to show that luffy needed gear 5 for Rob since he knows his own drawback. Why risk a form that has a draw back if you can defeat said person without. It shows that luffy could not defeat Rob Lucci without it.
That same Lucci is fighting a zoro that has yet used any:
Named attacks
Hasn't used advanced coc
Hasn't even put on his bandana showing the signs of him taking it seriously.
Instead we have a zoro having a whole dialgue with luffy while fighting lucci
