- Zoro and Sanji are shown to be feeling a sinister aura Saturn is emitting when making his move
- Enma appears to be acting uncontrollably because of it and Sanji's eyebrow changes back and forth
- Many marines and even some vice admirals are shown passing out thinking it's because of Luffy but Atlas, Chopper, Brook, Usopp Franky pass out too they get caught off guard
- Saturn comments something about holy haki, haki used as a cleansing tool for evil can't translate properly this

That sells it. It's too legit.
 
They don't need to
I don't think any of the gorosei will fight Luffy (he'll go straight to Imu), they don't need to be stronger than your generic top tier, I honestly don't see Luffy having 5 allies a tier above the strongest admirals and emperors considering we're already in the final saga and none of them are even proper top tiers yet.
Say what you want about Oda, but he actually stayed consistent when it comes to the power ceiling of the series.
One Piece is an extremely generic fantasy story.

Like extremely generic.

Usually when you have a group of shadowy figures at that top of the world, they’re comedically more powerful than everyone else.

Oda isn’t subversive enough for that not to be the case.
