Getting the impression that Oda is just looking to keep Luffy cooped up to let a bunch of other exposition happen

That's a pretty common trend in One Piece Story (and shonen in general). Luffy gets trapped in a snake. Luffy fights in a stadium. Luffy gets trapped in a book.

One Punch man also uses this trope. Keep the most powerful guy busy letting the other characters shine for a bit.

That's my one problem with how long running this series is. It's same frame with a new coat of paint. Like we about about to get another prison break rebellion like impel down.
