ONE PIECE GOLD*Theory by Fawzi Stun
As the one piece story keeps advancing many things of significant importance have been introduced to the story gradually from least to most important.
As Luffy’s crew keeps advancing in Grandline, they have been facing enemies of equivalent to slightly higher power and strength thus contributing to the crew’s development and improvement.
Luffy in particular as the protagonist of the story is the one which his development was the most apparent of all the crew members.
Gear 1 :It started with his basic devil fruit fighting phase which only requires brute force and his members extension.
Gear 2: where he activated his brain for the first time ever (by accident ) and activated the second phase of his devil fruit abilities which introduce speed + accuracy + brute force
Now after that some “serious contenders” came to surface where the above was not sufficient to take them down ( Large opponents , numerous opponents ) so Luffy thought a new ability to take down both Large and Numerous opponents ( Giants , Marines when they attack , and very upsetting people who just he can’t stand ) take them down once and for all as fast as it gets.
Gear 3: this technique i believe he developed from the Gomu Gomu no Fusen ( i can make my body large, great maybe with some concentration i can make an arm or a leg big enough to fight with ) so this technique was mainly aimed to take down strong opponents so what it developed was brute strength
At start it was difficult to keep it more than 2 or 3 times in a fight and could only make his arm big then his leg then both arms.
The development is clear and as i said aparent
Now in the New World he learnt the Haki and combined it with his devil fruit ability even if it is not fully developed he is significantly strong but i doubt he could take down an admiral or even one of Black Beard commanders without reaching the brink of death , and with the Yonko level of power he has no chance
So where is this going , what are the prospect to win against the upcoming monsters ( Big Mom , kaido , Black Beard , Marine Admiral and even the Gorosei )?
Gear 4: this phase Luffy will integrate all what he have learnt up far and combine it to make himself a GIANT
Yes Gear 4 will be luffy fully getting his body to a giant mode improving thus his Brute Force tremendously and with use of Haki ( infinite number of Elephant Gun )
Why a Giant? I think Oda made a mistake when he introduced Gear 2 without any previous information and for me it looked like he just came up with it on the moment when he realized that he couldn’t beat CP9 without a power up
What did Oda do next? He never made the same mistake again each member new technique had a ” prologue ”
For those who saw the episodes after they came out of Fish Island he met a person who could change her body’s from very small to Giant big and she went in Luffy and since he is rubber she made him a Giant so he could fight difficult opponents.
I said this because a form like that is needed because he will for sure meet a giant who uses Haki , forget admirals he could not even scratch him even if Luffy had stronger Haki.
What do you think about?
(you can send your argumented theory about everything related to OnePiece via email at [email protected])
Oda did give a tiny hint to a powerup. When the strawhats were on the train off to save robin, Luffy looked at the steam and he said he had an idea.
Also, as per my knowledge, him becoming a giant was a part of a filler, not in the manga.
Plus, luffy is all about agility, using his slender rubber body to aid him in attacking. Transforming into a giant will give him only brute force, and he’ll be even more susceptible to sharp objects, let alone armament hakki based attacks. He’ll also loose a huge amount of agility.
actually they tell about how luffy get the gear 2nd in onepiece movie number 7.he get hit in the head accidentally by a metal pole and when he tried to punch the 2nd gear activated for a split second and he felt different,so that’s explain how luffy learn how to use gear 2nd
actually, it was introduced gear second in a movie
Nice theory, but gear second did have a prologue, in the movie 4 or 5 (the machine island one).
Although I could imagine Luffy becoming a giant could be a new technique of his I do not completely agree with your argumentation.
First, Oda did not create gear 2 without introduction. When you watch “One Piece The Movie: The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle” you can see that Luffy discovers this technique by coincedence as a giant robot stomps on him (at least I think it was a robot). He gets into gear 2 unwillingly and detects the potential that this technique has. Secondly I dont agree with the “turn into a giant and he will be unstoppable” thing.
Sure, being a giant makes him stronger, but just a bit. Altough he would be big all the time, it wouldnt change that much. When Luffy fights with gear 3 he always hits his enemy with the momentarily big part of his body. Being a giant all the time would not change the power he hits his opponent with but would make him more vulnerable to attacks. Sure, he would be able to do everything he can do at the moment without gear 3 in a gigantic way, but as he can control the parts he wants to inflate already it would not make much of a difference to him using gear 3…
Good theory, exceot the little girl who cyou mentioned, that can change her body size, is from filler.
So throw out that reaaoning as it’s not cannon
Yeah right. That is only a filler episode.
luffy can make his body parts big coz of gear 3….so it would be lame if gear 4 will make him a giant…
and i dont think there will be gear 4…maybe there will be new technique but not gear 4.
.
the gears are properties of rubber – gear 2 is like a rubber band that when you pull and release, it can hit an object hard and fast that our eyes cant even see…and gear 3 is like a balloon(ofc made of rubber) that when stuff with air or something, can increse its size.
.
as of now, a can not think another property of a rubber but maybe some genius like ODA can. if they know another property of rubber, then that’s GEAR4
He doesnt “activate” any new special abilities of his devil fruit when he goes into gear 2nd. He is rubber, thats it.
“This technique involves Luffy speeding up the blood flow in all or selected body parts, in order to provide them with more oxygen and nutrients. ”
So its not a “phase 2”. He doesnt turn into a super sayan 🙂
yea…what the other commenters said.. oh yea, and just wanted to point out.. gear three isn’t just “hey, i can inflate my body, maybe i can focus it in one part” then poof gear 3.. its a calculated technique.. it’s not just baloon.. its “bone baloon”.. the bone is denser(even with a rubber body, I suppose), hence, it hits harder than the regular gomu gomu no fuusen… so it’s more complicated than the simple explanation you gave…
in my oppinion gear 2nd introduced when the strawhats went to franky family to take revenge for usopp. there was one from the franky brothers that he had armour so strong that a cannon ball couldnt pierce it we see that luffy punches the air but not his armour after a while we can see his arms tuning to red like when he uses gear 2nd and gives the final punch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJS2zCdJ8kk the moment is on 4:30
