Why does it go down? Hes not a DF ***** like Ace or Magellan. He still has haki and his physical stats as a paramecia beforehand.
Luffy won't be admiral level after gaining such a fruit. Admirals are strong not because of their DF but because of their physical stats and haki mastery. Admirals aren't DF whores, they are still top tier even without their DF. Luffy's haki mastery or physical stats won't go sky rocket after gaining the mera mera so I don't see how he will be top tier. On top of that, his firepower won't increase either. His EGG is comparable to Ace's entei and red hawk comparable to hiken. Their firepower is comparable to eachother. Unless luffy could use both EGG and entei at same time(doubt it). The pros of getting it is basicly flashier attacks and logia defense which is pretty good for canceling other haki like Akainu does with his magma logia defense. The cons of this is that it won't be that much of a powerup like I listed above.
Where do you see that i said luffy would be admiral level? On top of that logia's are said that they can't take real damage because they won't be use to the attacks used by haki users. Just look at the blackbeard vs ace fight
