Luffy's Gear 5 was originally seen to make its debut in Chapter 1044 of the manga, which makes it possible that Episode 1,070 will be the first to show him with it.
It is revealed that due to Luffy's newfound command over the Straw Hat Grand Fleet as well as his perceived masterminding of the invasion of Totto Land, he is now considered to be the Fifth Emperor of the Sea.
One Piece Chapter 1044's spoilers made some incredible revelations regarding Luffy's Devil Fruit, which confirms part of a long-standing fan theory. Furthermore, Luffy's Gear Fifth debuts in this chapter, which also serves as his Awakening form. Follow along as we break down the initial One Piece Chapter 1044 spoilers.
The more he laughed, the better he seemed to fight. Throughout the clash against Kaido, fans could see him laughing even though he was fighting a high-intensity battle, which just goes to show how important it is to his character.
Yes, Luffy's Gear Five Is in "One Piece Film: Red" | The Mary Sue.
1) Kaido. Kaido did in fact lose to Luffy's Gear 5 at the end of the Wano Country arc. However, keep in mind that he withstood multiple waves of strong enemies before this final encounter. Luffy was also completely worn out after the fight and fell into a coma for about a week.
Luffy is close to Shanks in terms of power and it is only after their fight that he will officially be able to call himself stronger than Shanks.
Gear 5 is Luffy's pinnacle power, and he can do anything he wants in this form. Furthermore, it is mentioned that his powers are only limited by his imagination. With this gear unlocked, Luffy is said to resemble the “Warrior of Liberation” — Sun God Nika, who is said to bring smiles, joy, and freedom to the people.
After Luffy won the match, Kaidou recalled an earlier conversation he had with King where he said that Joy Boy would be the one to defeat him, implying that in his final moments, he recognized that Luffy was none other than Joy Boy after all.
Gear Five gives Luffy the ability to fight freely and without much constraint as shown in his bout with Kaido and now Rob Lucci. This means Luffy can be hit with deadly attacks that now leads to his physical appearance forming either a shape of the weapon, or showcases the manner in which he was hit.
Gear 10th Luffy is Luffy's ultimate form from the upcoming speculative fan-made sequel to One Piece, Son of the Pirate King. Luffy has continuously trained his haki and Devil Fruit powers during his time as Pirate King until he achieved this gear.
9 Roger: Strength
Luffy, although strong, is far from that level, and even when he becomes the Pirate King, it isn't necessary for him to reach the same heights as Roger and Whitebeard in terms of physical strength.
Luffy's Gear 5 is his strongest asset in One Piece, which is powerful enough to overpower the King of Beasts, Kaido. Although Luffy calls it Gear 5, it is actually the awakened state of his devil fruit.
Being a Yonko, Shanks is easily in the upper echelon of the most powerful characters in the series. This is a well known fact, even though he has yet to be shown in a prolonged battle, and he's never been seen going all out yet.
He was also dubbed as "Sun God" Nika by the Five Elders. Due to his age, Luffy is currently the youngest member among the Four Emperors. His current bounty is 3,000,000,000 berries.
Since Luffy's Devil Fruit is actually a Mythical Zoan instead of a Paramecia, it granted him a completely new transformation instead and typical of Luffy, he ended up naming it Gear 5. In this form, Luffy gains a completely white transformation and takes on an appearance similar to that of the "Sun God" Nika.
Gear 5 ("Gear Fifth") is the awakened form of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which strengthens the user's rubbery body. It also allows the user the ability to manipulate and transform their environment, similar to a Paramecia's awakening. Luffy achieved this ability during his final battle with Kaidou on Onigashima.
It states that Joy Boy's true name was Jaguar Binks and that he was a giant from Elbaf. While the theory uses the fact that the names Joy Boy and Jaguar Binks have the initials as part of its reasoning, that is only the tip of the iceberg.
The concept of power up Gears has been a core part of the One Piece franchise and allowed Luffy to take on the most difficult of foes. Fans speculate Gear 6 is inevitable – and with the series winding up to its conclusion, it could play a pivotal part in the final conflict.
Gear 5 is only powerful because Luffy has great haki. If Luffy didn't have any haki, his Gear 5 attacks would literally do nothing to Kaido. All Gear 5 does is let Luffy more easily punch and tank attacks.
Roger and his men, as seen during the Oden flashback, would simply be too strong for Luffy to defeat in a fight.
When it comes to destructive power, Saitama can destroy giant spaceships, monsters, mountains, etc. with the bare minimum effort. Bearing in mind Saitama's feats, Luffy's Gear 5th stands absolutely zero chance against him.
