In the last episode, Luffy "obtained" a special sword for himself to go along with his Wano-ready outfit and Episode 898 has Luffy show off just what he can do as a full samurai. Turns out, it's just as little as you'd expect. But with Luffy's hilariously throwing himself into the fight, his "sword skills" are definitely deadly.

In Episode 898 of the series, Hawkins and several of his forces have confronted Luffy and Zoro. When Luffy draws his new cursed sword, he amusing refuses to let Zoro examine it because it's a reflection of his "samurai soul." It's clear that Luffy's just having fun here, even using the classical "de-gozaru" honorific in his speech, and that comes across all too clear in how he uses the sword itself.

He yells that this is now a "sword fight," but he start by throwing the sword's scabbard off into the sky. Then he says he's going to "slice up" his opponents, but soon launches his Gum Gum Pistol. With sword in hand, he punches the first crowd of Kaido forces away and amusing doesn't use the sword.
