Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. We've seen unique transformations among Zoans that fit outside of the standard human>beast>hybrid modes (Chopper being the most obvious example). Heck, that's still the case even if we exclude drug modifications. Recall Lucci was able to slim down his bulky hybrid form with the "life feedback" technique. There's also guys like Baron Tamago who had a unique morphing cycle with his fruit (egg>chick>chicken). So personally, I wouldn't say Luffy is all that unique in terms of transformative techniques.

Hey, why can't the RA be part of the raid, too? Though I'm not entirely sure we'll see Lindbergh since he snuck into Mariejois with Sabo, along with Morley and Karasu.... so they could have been captured, as well. Really, I'd just expect Ivankov and Belo Betty to be the only RA commanders present if they're indeed part of the raid. I guess Dragon could be there too, but I sorta think it more likely that he'd focus on rescuing Sabo, first (that, and I still don't think it's quite the right time for he and Luffy to meet just yet, though that moment is definitely just beyond the horizon).
