Luffy is stronger than Goku
I'm not gonna steal credit for this guys analysis (Which is really educated)
https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/r6q6ua/multipliers_for_the_gear_techniques/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
If you want to look at the most educated scale of Luffy power multipliers its right there but I just want to summarize his scale and determine G5 multiplier
You can debate this scale all you want but I dont think Oda will ever give us a multiplier for Luffy transformations
So until Oda does we should just pay attention to the narrative
Luffy G2 is probably 10 times amp. The guy explained it well on how soru and gear 2 is practically the same but Luffy can apply it to power as well.
So if Luffy is 10 times faster upon g2 him being 10 times stronger in terms of attacking power makes sense too.
Luffy G2 is 10 times base
When you look at the definitions several is THREE OR MORE
Many is 5, 6, 7, 8+
So looking at the definitions G4 is probably between a 3 or 4 times power boost
You are probably thinking that doesn't make sense because that would mean gear 2 is higher boost than gear 4 but thats excluding the context Doflamingo said Luffy was several times stronger after he saw gear 2
G4 is 3 or 4 times stronger than G2
Or you can say
G4 is 30 or 40 times stronger than Base
I am not gonna include snake man because I think its the same power or only a little bit better than Boundman
Its just a shift of priority in the type of offense
Gear 5 hasnt been scaled yet and the guy I linked to didnt include Gear 5 because G5 is new but if I downplay G5 its a 3 or 4 times power increase over G4
Which means
Luffy in Gear 5 is 3 or 4 times stronger than G4
Or
Luffy in Gear 5 is between a 120 times base amp to 160 times
This means Luffy Gear second equals Great Ape form and Kaioken 10x as an amp
Luffy Gear 4 rivals Legendary Super Saiyan transformation as an amp
Luffy gear 5 is a stronger amp then Super Saiyan 2
The Dragon ball amps are confirmed by Akira himself or the character within the story
I am not saying Luffy is stronger than Goku but Luffy has DBZ amps.
If you think these amps are impossible here are panels of characters significantly weaker keeping up with stronger characters as if they were in dragonball.
DBZ and OP are also extremely very closely related franchises and Oda admits to being influenced by a lot of things from Dragonball
Im just saying it is not farfetched to say Kaido
slaps DBZ Frieza
I know Akainu does
PS. Characters take attacks stated/intended to destroy the world/destroy islands all the time in One Piece
