This reminds me when I catched up with the anime episodes 2 years ago. When I first saw Luffy's "post-timeskip" appearance in this wiki, I was very excited and I'm like "Oh my God! What will Luffy have after that timeskip? How strong is he?" and everything like that. When I went to that episode, it really met my expectations. Luffy has a great amount of potential talent and like Jopie said, this is just the beginning.

In answering that question, NOT AT THIS POINT. Take note Gear Fourth isn't even the "awakened" stage of its powers (not even the perfect time to display it). Also, I put your observance of the main fights as a team effort (Wait, it has been like this ever since right?) into consideration. Luffy has still a lot of flaws shown in his first true major fight after the timeskip.
