MDM I think Luffy has shown that he has matured some but I think after the trauma he suffered and the 2 years since then he's spent regaining his faith in his own abilities and in his crew's abilities. If he charged in there it'd be fine with me because if he didn't believe he could crush DD's crew then how could he possibly hope to take on the Yonko? He's shown enough maturity to accept an alliance to take down Kaidou, capture Caesar clown, and followed through with Jimbei's plan on Fishman Island  instead of charging in like he originally wanted to.
