[@Discarabsnation3187y]

I mean I’m hyped for gear 5th because I want it to be Luffy’s final, op, powerup. By the end of Wano Luffy should be top tier, and to avoid him getting too strong, I hope that the rest of the series will be about his crew trying to catch up. Blackbeard will be tough, but the tricky part with him will be getting around his darkness fruit, and that could just be solved in-arc without a powerup. Basically, I’m hyped for gear 5th cause it’ll show us kinda what pirate king Luffy will look like.

@@Discarabsnation3187y luffy's hits against blackbeard should be actually stronger than against anyone else (IIRC blackbeard said his body gets hurt more when he is hit because darkness absorbs everything or something like that). as long as blackbeard doesnt grab luffy, luffy can almost ignore the devil fruit cancelling ability of the yami yami no mi. luffy can still use gear 4, still stretch his arms, still do pretty much everything as long as blackbeard doesnt touch him. only luffy's fist wouldnt be rubber when he hits BB so that doesnt really take away from any of his attacks

if haki werent ever to be introduced, most fights would probably have this "wet luffy wins against sandy-gator" vibe. haki is just a mechanism to highlight strength. i feel oda needed that to have a more sober and democratical explanation on character's strength since it would become hard to write and maybe boring if every powerful person had a fruit. and characters such as nami and usopp were not in the first line of attack in the pre-haki era, so this system is not exactly unfair to them, they were already more of tactical/comical figures

@@thats4thebirds yeah haki powercreep seems to be an issue but Oda solve it with DF awakenings an insane power up specially in the case of Zoans which seem to have the ability to regenerate, and the fact that DF users can enhance their abilities with haki. Haki powercreep was also necesarry for explaining why characters without DF like Mihawk, Garp and Shanks are as powerful as they are. Haki also has a huge weakness been stamina, we have been shown DF users been able to spam their abilities with little issue but with haki you have to be more efficient and conservative.

I think that an actual “Grandline Review” could be an interesting series. Talking about various locations on the grand line from the view of a civilian tourist while also talking about how they relate to their real-world inspirations would be quite fun!

Realistically, luffy only has awakening and mastered conquers left to add to his arsenal; so gear 5 doing both of those works well.

[@malachi4838]

manga spoiler: luffy has already mastered conqueror's. not much else to add to it now that he has the advanced version. the only way i see luffy getting awakening during the series is if Vegapunk (or maybe Caesar with the help of chopper or something) can do a forced awakening on luffy. i dont think this idea is too far out considering chopper's rumble balls basically temporarily force his awakening, and recently in the manga Caesar knew how to improve chopper's rumble balls. very possible that the WG has/had vegapunk trying to work out how to force awakenings of devil fruits and caesar was there researching it with him.

[@aementl3387]

It's like tournament arcs, it's cliche but so good and that's why there's so many of them

Depends on where and how it happens. In an arc like enies Lobby, not really necessary IMO, but something like Post Marineford worked well. I would say the Katakuri fight worked well in some ways too. For Udon Prison, I didn't like it as much as the other ones in the past.

[@smurfx]

I'm 100 percent convinced that gear 5th will be Luffy awakening his fruit and being able to become a giant. My guess is that Luffy's ultimate form will make him about as big as kaido and combined with conquerers will make him unstoppable. If he can also use gear 2 while in gear 5th he can also add super speed as well. Something other huge characters haven't been shown to use.

"Boa becomes a flat character, when she is around Luffy"? That makes no sense to me, her not be able to balance her emotions (since she properly never experienced love), is part of her character. I also assume, that as long as she doesn't overcome it (at least balancing it out a little bit) Luffy will not be interested in her romantically. Luffy clearly rejects her acting so weird, so even he isn't on board it. So her being "flat" is part of the design.

[@beecees410]

She basically becomes sanji in female form who in turn is basically every other anime character who sees someone they deem beautiful. That's kinda flat tbh

[@jpw1565]

It’s just too silly for most, but at the same time, MetalB has a good point here - the reason for her behavior is given. She’s not flat in the literal sense on the contrary, I found it to be very good expectation subversion

[@jondoe7036]

I actually like the reasoning given as to how and why she fell for Luffy, but at the same time I'm very much in the camp that thinks the whole lovesick schoolgirl act basically ended up amounting to nothing, but regularly watering Hancock down to bunch of samey dreary jokes, that would continuously undermine her character and were already ran into the ground by Impel Down, so her character would ultimately be far more compelling without that aspect. Also still don't understand anyone who would seriously ship her with Luffy based on it...

Y’all forget that gear 2nd was something Luffy thought of for a while. Ever since his crews encounter with Aokiji he needed an answer to melt the ice and increase his speed. That’s when gear 2nd was planned. Plus it’s not something that actually needs training, why would he need to train for something as simple as increasing his circulation?

[@pepsi-4275]

Yeah most likely because they're stronger than Marineford Whitebeard. He was 72, dying, could barely use haki and couldn't even move fast anymore. Even with that he still could easily defeat an admiral like Akainu, yes he's gonna look weak when you compare a half dead man to a person like Kaido who's in their prime.

[@deepaliagarwal1536]

whitebeard could have defeated anyone in marineford alone except maybe mihawk and traded blows with shanks, comparing that to irl old people, who sometimes can get internal bleeding from a little bump with a wall, whitebeard's power level was still a little above what u would expect in his old age.

[@Yodah97]

3:26 Funny, I feel the precise opposite way. To me it's Gear 3rd that makes no effing sense. Inflating his bones should make Luffy bigger *and lighter*. So it would have no practical application at all, except maybe allowing him to float. The only way around this issue is if the air somehow becomes rubber when it enters his bones, but a) that sounds more like awakening than an ability Luffy would have in Paradise, and b) that would mean the air would get trapped in his bones, unless he can also turn his inner rubber back into air. Meanwhile Gear 2 just boosts Luffy's metabolism so he'll be able to use Soru. While the pink skin and steam make little sense, at its core it works similar to an massive shot of adrenaline, which his body can only endure because his blood vessels are also made out of rubber. It should affect Luffy in other ways like making him speak faster and have a hard time standing still, but still, it makes more sense than Gear 3rd.

[@nipitphonchandawanich314]

I agree. For the pink and steam tho I think it because of his high blood pressure from pumping his blood vessels, turning his body pink while the steam is his sweat evaporating from the body heat

[@nipitphonchandawanich314]

Also, gear 3 could be used for area damage but will have much lesser power than a normal punch. Him punching a gaint hole on the building with a normal gear 3 punch make little sense to me but on the other hand when coated with haki in might make it heavier? thus make in much more deadlier?. Only if it heavier tho. But oh well who care it just an anime ;)

@@nipitphonchandawanich314 Bruh, One piece has a lot of detail in it's fights and story. It's one of the reasons why it's so loved and popular.

[@phazpiece6058]

I think gear 3 works like balloons where you can simply fill the limb with air and then it's inflated (just that's since its rubber its logically harder to expand). And the bones are probably in the state of non existing(deflated) during gear 3 to make it easier for luffy to expand his limbs? Idk it's just my opinion though

[@alecity4877]

I went more in deph on the thread where we commented unpopular opinions, I agree that the aspect of mass distribution is a logical flaw of gear third, but if we're to apply physics into the matter, pumping blood faster would not necessarily mean accelerating your metabolism if respiration isn't accelarated at the same rate, as you would be consuming oxygen faster than you breathe it and introduce it to your blood. But that's not my issue, my main problem with the introduction is that Luffy didn't have a frame of reference for his circulation affecting his speed and getting his method right the first time. While gear third depite being inflating the bones, Luffy has already practiced an inflation ability with his stomach. I like how One Piece doesn't waste time with training arcs, but I just feel like if it was just gear third (which would've been called gear second if that were the case) it would've been better. Thanks for your (indirect) response, I apreciate the attention my comment got :)

[@nataliswolf]

I agree and disagree on the aspect of "whoever has the most haki" wins. We spend a lot of time looking at devil fruits and haki as separate power systems with individualized flaws when they are meant to be two systems that compliment each other. Two Haki users of equal skill levels could fight each other win, lose or draw Two devil fruit users without Haki depending on the fruits and skill levels could win, lose or draw. A Devil fruit user could defeat a Haki user and vice versa A person who has both a devil fruit and skill in Haki could defeat a devil fruit user without Haki (depending on the fruit) A person with Haki could defeat someone who has both a devil fruit and Haki but their skill and power would need to compensate to counter act the fruit. The two systems work fine and balances out perfectly in the lower mid and upper tiers as long as you look at them as a collective unit but since we have started to reach the level of god tiers dealing with the 100 (rough number) strongest people in the world it doesn't feel balanced. If Luffy challenged someone who had the same skill level with Haki as he did right now that didn't have a devil fruit, he would likely stomp them into the ground Likewise if someone like Tashigi post time skip fought Ace Pre Timeskip (when he was clearly not using Haki), Ace would probably be annoyed that Tashigi could hurt him but he would still be able to kick her ass.

the thing about one piece for me is, most of the side characters or sometimes even the main characters of certain arcs aren't really engaging and the reason varies from character design to purpose to time spent on building the character to panel time given to it.

[@Yodah97]

I do feel like the number of plot-relevant characters has increased exponentially every since Dessrossa. I mean before the grand fleet was formed, I remember wondering why the hell Oda had spent so much time on minor characters. He even split the crew so we'd have more time to focus on other people in that arc. I was hoping we'd get back to normal after that, and Zou toned it down a bit, but then we had to meet the entire Big Mom crew, followed right after by all of Wano and the entire Beast Pirates. And the growing number of characters does make what should have been straightforward plots much harder to follow.

Like he can use aspects of gear 4th but there's no risk of haki exhaustion or no life span hit like with gear 2nd and no need to blow air into his bones (gear 3rd makes no sense at all) kinda like after the time skip instead of him having to get into a stance for gear 2nd he just moved and it activated. That sort of thing. If I had to guess if there is a gear 5th it would tie into his awakening in some way

If you want an origin of Gear 2, it's shown in one of the early One Piece movies. I know it's not canon, but it was an interesting concept. But also, Luffy said in story that he got the idea from his first fight with CP9 after observing the mechanics behind Soru. Bit of a leap, I know, but it further exemplifies how Luffy never loses without taking something from the fight. Learning Crocodile's weakness, finding and exploiting a drawback of Moria's ability, and learning advanced Observation and Armament Haki from Katakuri and Kaido.

[@jackjacques7495]

Counter-take to the Hancock opinion: She's a MUCH better character when she's with Luffy. There is no absolutely comparition. Being arrogant, sexist, selfish, vain, self-entitled and misandric, is not a "strong" or "good" character. She doesn't lose any "strength" by fawning over him, just the negative traits. I know a lot of people are going to hate me for saying it, but everyone knows its true: If Hancock acted the same way, but had been a male character, EVERYONE would hate him. Her backstory helps us understand why she's like that sure, but that doesn't 100% apply when so many people immediately love her even before they know any of that.

[@redlove108]

Wait. People don't understand how Gear 2nd works? I thought the illustration and animation told it all. Luffy is accelerating his blood flow, abusing the fact his body is made of rubber. So his heart would expand greatly and pump harder on the contraction.

[@nicholasbove3554]

One Piece Concern: So I really hope this whole thing with luffys devil fruit is a fake out. I don’t want it to be special. I don’t want luffy to win because of what he is. It’s all about who he is. A thing i like about one piece is that luffy isnt special. His fruit isnt op and being a D and conquers haki were more symbolic then power ups. (Conquers haki has changed but enough people have it that I can deal with it)

[@jacksterattacks8326]

Just remember that Luffy got to where he was because of his underdog creativity, and not many other people were able to do the same with blatantly more powerful fruits. It doesnt mean anything to me now because luffy is already powerful and hasn't discovered the possible secret power. Its secret power also wouldnt be accessible to anyone immediately either so yeah.

[@MetalB1985]

I think his fruit is special in a specif scenario and not because of the power the fruit give you. My idea is, that it can cancel Whitebear's Devilfruit from destroying the world (awaking makes anything around the user to rubber, which negates the earthquakes). This is a setup for the fight against Blackbeard later in the story, since it is opposite to each other. Blackbeard planed in getting the fruit through killing a Yonko, while Luffy got his fruit by accident from hanging around with a (later) Yonko.

And attacks will be op.

Im gonna say the idea that haki is someting your born with is was either an idea that was put out there when oda wasnt sure what he wanted to do with haki, or just misleading information that is just the worlds understanding of haki. It really seems with the latest chapters there pushing the idea tempering your haki as an equivalent to will. So in other words just like not everyone can move in a life or death situation, not everyone can use haki when they need it. Not because their physicaly unable but because their will is too weak. That said just like coby i believe any character can obtain haki if they improve their willpower.

economics and haki are actually a pretty apt comparison. because money, like haki. can be gained through effort.. and yes. the person with the most will generally have the biggest advantage. but that doesn't stop someone with little haki/money, working to gain more money/haki to improve their chances... i kind of hate it when people talk about money like it's a static thing.. like your either born with it or your not. when it just doesn't work that way, people are born constantly that will start their lives broke and end it rich. just like there are people born rich, that end their life poor. it's a matter of effort, ambition and probably some good choices mixed in.. and not birth right that makes someone successful. obviously being born with that advantage does help or make it so you are required to put less effort into it. but it doesn't ensure success. which to me is a great metaphor for haki because it is an embodiment of someone's willingness and effort to make their ambitions a reality.
