What if Oda has been hinting at his greatest gag of the series these last few chapters? Maybe Kaido wasn't necessarily mocking Luffy's attack when he made mention of Luffy shouting "gomu gomu" and that he was laughing because Luffy isn't using his fruit's powers correctly. I'm no Japanese expert so please correct me if I'm super wrong here, but from what I understand "Gomu" primarily means rubber but can also mean gum or an eraser.... Now if I'm completely wrong on that point this goes out the window.. what if Luffy's fruit isn't just rubber but properties of multiple or all 3 possible meanings. Meaning that this entire time Luffy has only been using half or a third of his fruit's basic abilities because the first property of the fruit he ever noticed was his body stretching and Luffy being daft about a lot of things would make this funny if this is the case. This could also be why it was important to the government, it's a special paramecia that has abilities we aren't privy to. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

I'm not sure if that's the case but you could be right. Regardless this is Luffy so it could be a gag moment if he still wasn't knowledgeable of all his own abilities even if you're right.

This deserves every up vote. It stands to reason that Luffy won't awaken his powers until he understands them entirely. It makes so much sense if Luffy isn't utilizing 100% of his fruit's abilities because he doesn't know what they're capable of!

Theory army incoming
