Agree with the comments below. He would not be as strong and would not even be a vice admiral yet. If we look now. All the vice admirals are old tarts. I think to be ranked high up you must serve many years under the marines. So not only power, but Luffy would have to earn loyalty as well to be ranked higher. So in conclusion. He would just be one kick ass commodore or something. But nowhere near kickass enough compared to Pirate Luffy of today ;)
