What I mean by losing his Devil Fruit. Is that someone through some unknown method extracts luffys fruit from him without him dying. Then lets say this allows him to perfect his fighting skills and Haki more. Now this is my personal theory on the assimilation thing I mentioned but I think every Devil Fruit have souls inside them like Zanpactous. So assimilating it fully would put the user in a complete bankai-like state. So knowing this which would seem more beneficial for Luffy in a future arc.
