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.
