Luffy stops smiling for significant reasons, most notably after his devastating fight with Usopp in the Water 7 Arc, where he didn't smile for 15 chapters due to deep sadness and betrayal, showing his genuine care for his crew, and also when facing true despair, like after Ace's death, highlighting profound loss and responsibility, even before his Gear 5 awakening.
There has been only one exception: after his fight with Usopp in Water 7, Luffy did not smile for the longest time in the entire series while non-combative; in the storyline, he did not smile for a whole day, but in terms of chapters, he did not smile for fifteen chapters.
