Luffy dodging Noro beams was inconsistent, since he reacted to Enel several times over in skypea, and was physically fast (and strong) enough to swing his arm and repel pure lightning, despite weight being attached to him. Wouldn't the multiplier for Gear Third apply the way Seth said it, though? Since it's, and I quote "the arm of a giant", and giants are stronger than fishmen, who are naturally x10 stronger than humans, wouldn't G3 be an at least 10 times multiplier, and gear forth being another 3x on it?
I'm not trying to insult anybody with the downplay claim, obviously, but there's a difference between an outlier (a feat done once for the sake of plot and never replicated again) and a feat that's not done much. The light speed feats for Luffy were consistently repeating, from Noro beams, to PX5's lasers, to Kuma's paws dodging feat, and supposedly Niji's "tachyon" speed (which is supposed to be an ftl particle from what I read.) Along with the multiple continental scalings from ablation speed meteorites being surpassed by Luffy's sheer physical strength, etc..
For now, MOUNTAIN LEVEL LUFFY seems like an insanely heavy downplay. Even when lowballed, he scales to a black knight in gear second, who could cover up the entirety of dressrosa and tank ablation speed meteorites, etc.. I'm not going to say he MUST BE continental, but still, MOUNTAIN level is way, WAY too low. Far from the character's actual ability, to the point where it seems Luffy's VSBW page is what's more inaccurate .
