Is Oda even aware that he is portraying Yamato to be stronger than Luffy if she handles Kaido until Luffy comes back?
Oda for some reason is always portraying Luffy as weak outside main battle and other people seems stronger than him for that. For example Luffy getting two-shotted by Apoo, struggling against Ulti and P1(he was about to use G4 to handle her) and then Yamato one-shots her. Even that Ulti was off-guard and didn't used haki was still an one-shot that I can't imagine KKG doing it at a fresh Ulti. Ulti is still coming back after BM "killed" her.
Luffy also need G4 to one-shot a Number while Yamato is doing that when falling, protecting Momo and from distance(flying blow).
So Yamato base form(she has a transformation, she almost used against Sasaki) is being protrayed as stronger than Luffy's G4.
I already talked about how Luffy can't use Adv CoA while at G4 and not sure about Adv CoC(I bet he can). But only because of CoA I'm betting currently Luffy base form is his strongest form and for some reason(limited haki) he didn't used against Ulti and Number.
But Yamato is now shown to have CoC and probably Adv CoC when clashing with Kaido.
Yamato most likely just don't have Adv CoA as Luffy has. But she has transformation which is suppose to power up her stats. Until we know if Luffy was using only Adv CoC or combining it with Adv CoA to fight Kaido we can imagine that All Out Yamato > All Out Luffy.
