Luffy’s Gear 5th And It’s Deadly Powers – Explained

Monkey D. Luffy is the Captain of the Strawhat Pirates, and he’s one of the strongest Pirates in the New World right now. Like many other Pirates, Luffy is a Devil Fruit user as well, and I’m sure all the fans know that. His Devil Fruit is a Paramecia type called the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which has turned his entire body into rubber. Luffy has thus gained the powers of stretchiness. Just when you think how stretching can even be used in battle, Luffy finds way to shut people up.

Again and again, we’ve seen him do stuff only he could think of with the Gomu Gomu no Mi. One of the most important things that Luffy has developed so far are the Gears.  in order to improve his fighting ability Luffy used various Gears. The first gear he ever used was the “Gear Second” which was pulled off at Enies Lobby. In this form, Luffy gains thr ability to pump blood several times faster in his body, which lets him achieve high speed movements.  luffy and ace by styfperez dgnokh  Monkey D. Luffy also unleashed the 3rd Gear in the same arc. Instead of pumping blood faster, this time, Luffy blows air into his bones, which then inflate and grant him several times the powers Basically, it gives him the body of a giant.
Gear 3rd and Gear 2nd were both great. However, there were several things lacking. Gear 2nd didn’t have the raw power, while Gear 3rd lacked the agility.

 

So, during the 2 year Timeskip, Luffy developed something else. He created Gear 4th. This was called “muscle balloon”. Instead of Putting air into his bones like Gear 3rd, Luffy inflated his muscles, which made him buffed.But, to prevent the air from escaping, and to increase the power, he used Haki to create elastic force. But, we know, in order to take down stronger opponents, Luffy needs to create another Gear. The power of Gear 4th just isn’t enough. He needs Gear 5th.Monkey D. Luffy will need a Gear 5th sooner or later. But exactly will Gear 5th be? I think Gear 5th is going to be the Gear of awakening. Luffy will be able to use his Devil Fruit awakening in this Gear.With its powers, Luffy can enter Gear 4th for very long periods of time, because he won’t need to spread Haki to keep the air in. Instead, he can just put Haki in his punches.  Further, Luffy will also be able to use the surroundings to his advantage. He will be able to turn everything into rubber, and this will make everything his own domain. I know, it doesn’t sound as amazing as it should, but believe me, Luffy will find some clever way to use Gear 5th as well. His sheer power in this Gear will be too much. But, the biggest thing is that there will be absolutely no limit on this Gear, because Luffy won’t tire easily.
