This article contains spoilers for One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
Luffy and Stråhattpirates have come a long way on their travels A bitEspecially after the time. While the crew met their fair proportion of problems, they became stronger to overcome them all, and right now they can be described as one of the strongest pirate crews in A bit.
After the Wano Country Arc, which was a significant turning point in the story, Luffy became one of Yonko, also known as the four emperors in the sea. But he is still not at his top. Luffy can get stronger still, and he needs a great force if He is going to fight against the emperor, red -haired shanks.
Luffy became a yonko after beating Kaido

Kaido was the world's strongest creature

Luffy beat Kaido with Gear 5
It goes without saying that Kaido is the biggest test that Luffy has met in his life as a pirate. As one of the four emperors of the sea, Kaido was an absolute monster in battle and he was even considered by many to be the strongest pirate as alive, at the peak of being the strongest creature in the world. Luffy's opponent in Wano Country Arc was not easy to take down, but he pressed himself beyond all boundaries and eventually managed to reach Kaido's level. By unlocking advanced conquerors Haki, Luffy could stand toe to Kaido.
So you finally woke up. Awakening is what happens when the user's mind and body finally capture the ability. – Kaido
When that wasn't enough, Luffy knocked on the power of Gear 5, His devil fruit aroused, and this allowed him to fight against Kaido evenly and even overwhelming him in some cases. Luffy eventually beat Kaido and freed Wano from his chains. This was given Luffy the title of a Yonko, and he is now one of the four strongest pirates right now. As I said, he still misses the tools to beat someone who Shanks
Luffy has not refined advanced Haki control
Shanks is entirely on a different level
A bit Fans know very well that Shanks is a monstrous powerful pirate. Although it is true that Kaido was the world's strongest creature, he was still no stronger than Shanks, which is basically Roger in this time. Shanks have the same forces as Roger and even inherited his martial style. While Big Mom and Kaido could not take down a single worst generation fighter, Shank's two took a single turn of their sword.
Listen, straw hat. Think about how you use your conqueror Haki. They are not immortal. – Gaban
Shanks never cared about titles, and the fact that he offered his time until Nika's arrival Is proof that he was not so serious until now. All that is saying that while Luffy beat Kaido, he can't beat Shanks right now and will need more power to get to his level.
Shanks's Haki is much stronger
The only way Luffy can match and potentially Beat Shanks is by improving their HakiAnd ODA has already established the basis for this in Elbaf. According to Gaban, Luffy must etch into the brain how to use Haki properly. This means that his use of this skill is not good. Luffy is much inferior than Shanks when it comes to HakiAnd as Kaido said, Haki conquers everyone. Right now, Shank's is stronger than Luffy, but he will eventually continue to be surpassed by him.
