Summary
Not too long after the debut ofLuffy ’s most muscular transformation , Gear Five , One Pieceshows that its supporter has already exceed the power - up that he clamber so much to obtain . ThoughOne Piece’sanime recently broke the internet with Gear 5 ’s debut , the manga has already suggest at how the form ’s power is growing to derisory lengths .
One of the most epic fights inOne Piece ’s retentive history was thedecisive battle between Luffy and Kaidofor the circumstances of Wano Country . The two powerful pirates clashed for almost fifty chapters ( eighteen months in substantial life ) , and in the end , Luffy was able to win only after awakening the genuine world power of his Devil Fruit , a Mythical Zoan that gives the Straw Hat chieftain the powers of the mysterious god Nika . Luffy had to literally die ( his heart stopped beating for a few moment ) to unlock this phylogenesis , and his " Nika bod " consumed a lot of vigour during the battle against Kaido , imply it could only be used for a short sentence . However , this is no longer the case .
Luffy Is Now Always In Gear Five
forthwith after the end of the Onigashima Raid and the battle for Wano , the most careful readers should have noticed small hints that the powers of Nika are now an integral part of Luffy , and he no longer needs to go through a traumatic waking up or a transformation like when he fought Kaido . Chapter # 1062 ofOne Piecefully confirms this . After getting raging because a delicious pot of intellectual nourishment he saw is actually an illusion , Luffy concisely takes on the look of his Nika anatomy , with the classifiable pouffe of smoke around his articulatio humeri , while his fuzz starts to turn white-hot . It ’s mean to be a random comedic moment , but it proves that Luffy ’s evolution proceed far beyond what fans believed .
This is the third time thatLuffy shew his Nika powers without the need to translate . Many mysteries still surround the operation anticipate " awakening " of Devil Fruits , but it ’s safe enough to reckon that , once a user unlocks this , he is always capable to utilize his novel powers . Because Luffy ’s previous power - ups ( Gears Second to Fourth ) always required some kind of transmutation , reader supposed that he also has to transform to practice what he called Gear Five , but this does n’t seem to be the casing . From the mite shown , Luffy is always in his Gear Five state , even if his appearance does not necessarily change . It will be interesting to see if the anime confirms this theory with subtle visual gags now that it has last reveal its interlingual rendition of Gear Five .
However , the weakness of the huge get-up-and-go expenditure triggered by awakened Devil Fruits plausibly remain , as it would be consistent with what other users have present . This is why , in his " normal " state , Luffy can use the dotty Nika powers to alter his body as much as he wants , but not to influence other object or people . This is only potential in in full awakened land , which believably comes withLuffy ’s already iconic Gear Five look . As the Egghead Island arc continues and Luffy clashes with the most herculean forces of the World Government , Oda will probably let out even more point for buff to take apart . Once again , One Piecesubtly foretell a major surprise for its fans , hinting thatLuffyhas already ameliorate and evolved hisGear Fivepowers .
