I can tell you are not that far in, It's still a bit slow at the beginning of the grand line but Just wait. its going to get much, much better. And by the time the war happens I could imagine you'd say it's the best too 
Yes Luffy, like Naruto and many other anime characters is based off of Goku
Pull that card? If you don't like Devil Fruits then stop watching, its a main part of that world and ALOT of pirates and marines will have different abilities because of them, on the grand line almost everyone with a 50 Million Beli or higher bounty has one. Though some incredibly powerful people don't have them (like Shanks) and I can't tell you why without spoilers, but there is a system of strength like Kai in DBZ or Chakra in Naruto that's introduced much later on. Enjoy the easy going pace and weak fun villains while you can because it gets much more intense.
You misunderstand me, I never said I hated the Devil's Fruit. In fact I said it was an interesting concept but I do not want them to pull that card out for every strong person in the anime.
I mean I so far I only know Buggy and Luffy and the Marines Captain at the town near the Grand Line have eaten the Devil's Fruit ATM and that is all good and dandy because there was a gap between when they were introduced. I just do not want them to get into the Grand Line and then EVERYONE that they encounter has eaten the fruit. I thought they mentioned that there was only 20 or so Devil Fruit (or maybe I just imagined that one)
Well yes sorry for a looong while every strong enemy they meet has a demon fruit, since you wont see people stronger then what a human body is capable of without fruits in action for a very long time. So naturally a demon fruit is required for someone to be really strong. I guess enjoy these next few villains while you can. There are some other rare cases but I can't say more then that without spoilers. Yes you imagined there is only 20. There is one for every element or thing in this world it feels like haha, there is never the same fruit twice though. If someone eats one that type is gone for good. I was feeling the exact opposite at your stage, i was thinking. "Damn, I hope there are eventually many more people with fruits" haha Demon fruits are not a rare myth in the grand line like they are in east blue.. I'd say about 80 percent of strong people you meet after episode like 90 or so have demon fruits
btw if it feels rushed and like the producers really wanted to get them to the grand line as quick as possible its because it is. Sadly everyone but the writer himself wanted to move things along and get to the good stuff asap. He planned on having many more adventures outside the grand line and show many other weaker villains.
