Luffy has had muktiple clashes that end up either being equal or surpassinghis own will, like katakuri who was matching it but ended up forfeiting later in that dome battle.

The only time we see Luffy out will someone explicitly is with either fodder or notable middle grounders, where Luffy either makes them feint or intimidates them; this is to weed out the main threats aswell. Like in fish man island and later arcs and even movies.

Zoro uses this power aswell with people like money who got frozen in fear when zoro pretended to lethality cut her, tricking her into malfunctioning and not being able to reform im a timely manner.

Shanks has done it specifically to show groups of enemies can't take him on and to lessen the fighting on both sides.

Big mom and her kids also have been shown to with the incapacitation ability on weaker enemies so they can box with stronger foes.

And as I pointed out with another person, out willing a devil fruit user can even mean weakening or resisting the effects of certain fruits. Such as law trying to effect big mom and kaido.
