Strength: Luffy's strength is not a result of his devil fruit ability but is in fact 100% natural due to him having been training for 10 years. Some demonstrations of Luffy's power have been Throwing a creature larger than a blue whale which weigh in at over 100 tons. Punching out giant sea serpents/monsters ,He also held up and supported the weight of then lifted and threw six floors of a building. He punched Sir Crocodile through 5 feet of solid bed rock and sent him flying off into the sky and his punches caused an Earth quake to tremor through the town.

Luffy can KO Bellamy the Hyena who was moving at the speed of sound. He aslo beat Captain Kuro who was using his stealth walk and ran so fast that he went completely invisible, using a variety of very fast and skillfull counter attacks.
Durability/Endurance: Any Physical attacks will do no harm whatsoever to Luffy . He took a direct his to the head from Alvida that smash the floor under his feet and simply grinned. Cannon balls and bullets are also not a problem for Luffy as they will simply bounce off. He is however susceptible to sharp objects swords, knives etc... Although this things can Injure him Luffy has been impaled three times once by Sir Crocodile and then threw into quicksand however Luffy dug his way up through 200 miles of sand.

Fighting Skill: In no way a slouch here either Luffy can match even the most skilled of fighters blow for blow. Roronoa Zoro,Sanji, Captain Kuro Admiral Don Kreig ect...
Techniques/Powers: Luffy has gained extraordinary stretching powers from eating a legendary treasure called the Gomu-Gomu Fruit (Gum-Gum Fruit in the English version). If a person eats one of the Devil Fruits, he gains powers beyond the norm but becomes unable to swim. After consuming the Gomu-Gomu fruit, Luffy's body becomes like rubber, giving him the ability to stretch long distances. Having trained hard for ten years, Luffy is able to supplement his stretching powers with immense strength, agility, and creativity in combat. His strength is probably not an effect of the Gomu-Gomu Fruit, as he does not display unusual strength in his battle with Higuma the Bear.
Luffy uses his stretching power in ingenious ways. He is able to use the malleable stretchiness of his limbs to gain tremendous velocity and hit enemies with devastating impact. His rubber body is also virtually immune to blunt objects such as bullets and punches, reflecting off his body harmlessly. However, he is still very susceptible to sharp objects such as swords and knives. The rubber composition of his body also renders him essentially immune to electricity based attacks, thus making him the natural enemy of a Goro-goro (lightning) Fruit user, such as Eneru. He can not only use his ability to increase the range and strength of his attacks, but he can also use it to restrain and even control foes like puppets.

Luffy has somehow gained the ability to "shift gears" into different forms during Enies Lobby.
Gear Second: Luffy and his attacks become much stronger and faster and he gains to ability to perform Soru. In appearance, the only changes are that steam emits from his body and his skin becomes shinier. There are many theories explaining how he achieved this, including vulcanization, but an official explanation has yet to be given. He first used this against Blueno.
Gear Third: Though the form itself has yet to be seen, it can be used to launch a powerful attack. As an after effect, however, Luffy turns into his chibi form for several minutes that seems to be unable to perform attacks. He first used this to break through a gate blocking the hallway Spandam and Lucci carried Robin down, which was in the tower Kaku cut diagonally (causing the upper portion to slide downwards).
Gear: Straw hat, Red shirt, Breathable Blue Jean Shorts and sandal.
History: When Luffy was young he met a band of pirates led by a kindly pirate named Red-Haired Shanks. Luffy befriended that band of pirates and from that moment on wanted to become a pirate as well. He swore over the hat that he would be the pirate king.
During his time spent with Shanks, Luffy ate a Devil Fruit (Cursed Fruit in the English dub) known as the Gomu Gomu Fruit (Gomu = Rubber, renamed the "Gum Gum Fruit" in the English Version), and unwittingly turned himself into a rubber man capable of stretching, inflating, or bouncing back impact based attacks. Because Luffy didn't know the nature of the fruit, they remained friends, but after that Luffy seemed to be even more defensive of Shanks's seemingly meek band of pirates.
After Luffy stood up to Higuma the Bear, a local mountain bandit that insulted Shanks and his crew, Luffy got caught up in a hostage situation and was later rescued by Shanks. However the incident cost Shanks his arm. Shortly after, Shanks set sail along with his crew, but before leaving he made Luffy promise that one day he would become a grand pirate and left his straw hat as a parting gift.
Luffy has since worked diligently on keeping that promise and is known famously as "Straw Hat Luffy", or simply "Straw Hat". Luffy now aims not only to be a grand pirate, but to become King of the Pirates. Most people don't take his goal seriously, until they see his absurd strength. But we never surely know how he got to be so strong or how he trained in the ten years of his training.
