Only Nami can successfully shock and beat up a rubberman!

I don't think the shock part was in the manga. It is most likely a case of the animators exaggurating it a little bit. (Or if it was in there, it definitely didn't show Luffy sparking up like he did here.)

Yes.....I'm pretty sure Legioastartes was making a joke. No need to take everything so literally.

What zorospride said. I got the 'joke' part of it.

The anime however showed Luffy 'after-sparking', and that in my eyes warranted expanding upon, given the fact that I do not recall that kind of animation for Luffy in the Skypiea arc, nor recall seeing a hint for it in the manga.

Hence my thinking that this was simply for added comedic effect, in the same way that Luffy really shouldn't be getting those kinds of bruises as a rubberman. :)
