The one thing I keep thinking of when it comes to Luffy and intelligence is after he learned that the Mera Mera no Mi was the prize at Corrida. One of the first things he said was "Well, I can't eat it." He actually showed prior knowledge about something and knew it pretty quickly. That sort of raised my expectations of his intellect.
