Luffy isn't the same as he once was. Having scars, matured and learned in different ways, gained new techniques, general character progression. Gears and Haki are a big part of Luffy now along with his chest scar, wouldn't say he wasn't Luffy without them.

Before Shanks, Garp made Luffy and influenced how he is now. Ace and Sabo did as well. It was never just Shanks and Luffy was who he was before Shanks gave him hat, before Luffy ate the Gomu Gomu No Mi.
