I know there's a lot of negatives, but you can't exactly expect Luffy to be Pirate King-level when Oda himself stated we're only at the halfway mark. He still needs to grow over the New World, if he had returned as this god-like, unbeatable or unchallengeable man, then people would only complain about him being overpowered instead.
