Vol 40 covers more of the Enies Lobby arc with the Crew Fighting fodder across the island and our first major Fight with Luffy vs Blueno
CP9 is given Power Levels By Fukuro and we are explicitly told by Jabra that the power level are not taking into account things that would enhance their power like there devil fruit which this should also apply to the six powers techniques and named attack ability that also increase a persons strength
Nami gets a power up with a new weapon and comically oneshots Zoro and sanji

Spandam reveals that CP9 will no longer be holding back against the straw hats
Luffy engages in a fight against Blueno where his named attack Gum Gum Rifle , which is consistently slightly stronger than a Gum Gum Bullet , damaged Blueno's Iron body technique when his previous Gum Gum Bullet couldn't . Luffy 's base unnamed attack is also able to damage Blueno's base Body where we have seen Luffy's previous base level was not able to damage Base Bluneo at all . Blueno even comments that Luffy " wasn't nearly this strong" " when we fought at the mansion"
we also get a clear indicator of luffy tracking Bluno's Shave speed which he wasn't able to do before and was stated to be above his previous perception speed with Bluno also saying " I didn't think he would be able to keep up with the speed of my shave technique " which shave doesn't seem to increase that attack speed of punches or kickes as if shave did effect the attack speed of attack, the next attack right after shave which wouldn't be effect by the six power technique would be way slow and be easily out done which we do not see meaning this feat only really show Luffy perception speed has gotten faster
Luffy is able to counter the Bluno's tempest kick something he couldn't do even against the weaker CP9 member Kalifa who speed blitzed him showing improvement with speed as well , Luffy than goes on to go very relative with Bluno's base physicals well also dodging Bluno's harder hitting six power techniques with Bluno even saying " He can match my speed , forcing me to change the path of my tempest kick... his physical abilities are unbelievable " and as Bluno equates "physical abilities" with speed it makes it very likely that the "physical abilities" that Doriki measures involves speed as well , this part of the fight ending with Luffy conceding that he can't beat Bluno as he is now and reveal his new power up
with Doriki being tracked back to Luffy's previous level via Bluno having to uses iron body on the named attack of Luffy on Water 7 and with sanji on the sea train meaning the named attack would have done some / minimal damage to base Blueno ,indicates that Luffys base would be around 3x lower than and would do no damage to base Blueno which is also just shown to be the case where when Franky faced Blueno on water seven his base attack which are on luffy's level didn't do anything to Base Blueno putting this base Luffy, Zoro, Sanji , and Franky at around 277 Power level making it possible to give tangible numbers too the higher power levels

Luffy powers up and Bluno tries to shave away but luffy Gum Gum Jet pistol is able to hit him before he can even move , luffy than explains he figure out how shave work that it is simply kicking 10x in the same instance to move, witch kind of requires Bluno's legs to be moving 10x faster which were blitz by Luffys Jet pistol which bare minimum puts luffys second gear 10x faster but likely much much faster and than Luffy him self show some form of a shave and bluneo says he " can't see him( Luffy) at all" , if this is a literal "shave " this might be another 10x over the normal Gear 2 attack speed " but as 10x seem to be enough to be faster than once perception speed Bluno probably isn't seeing what is actually happening and is just assuming which is probably just the same speed as Gear 2 attack speed as we also see Luffy has to aim his jet attack which probably means its also faster than Luffy perception speed , so Gear 2 probably increase attack speed , attack potency , travel speed but probably not durability , perception speed , maybe not continuous combat movement speed but we haven seen enough this time to conclude on that last one

we also see a Jet Bazooka which is probably 3x the attack potency based on the mechanics of the " Bazooka " series of attack which is also supported by Bluneo saying he is going to and does us a strengthen iron body with after Luffy eludes too a even stronger Gear but Bluneo falls over and is KO by the Bazooka , meaning the minimum of the next Gear is 3x Gear 2
