Gear 4 Luffy should be him stretching his arms and legs to make him more like a long arm tribe and long leg tribe Luffy Making him stronger offensively. GEAR 5 should be him tapping into his rubber ability further and become so bouncy that he reflects most attacks Making him stronger defensively. He's rubber and we don't see him being very bouncy. I am rubber and you are glue type shit for gear 5 hopefully.
The first attack Luffy will land on Dofla while in G4 more will be a Bazoka
A good old fashioned Pistol sounds more like it. Bazooka has always been his finisher.
To me, the most useful would be the ability to combine his body with haki and be in complete control of his body– for example, he could make black spikes come out of his chest (being able to stretch those parts at will), turn his fingers into knives, become a pancake or a tentacle demon. And think of all the new funny faces he could make!
We all know Luffy is a rubber man not a Play-doh man.Still… weirdly nifty idea.
I would so laugh if after all that speculation Oda went for completly generic Gear 2/Gear 3 combination.
It would be hillarious.
Quick speculation on Gear 4:
Shaping his limbs like springs and using Haki hardening to give them greater tensile strength and able to imitate Bellamy's Spring Hopper attack.
Be a certain poetic justice in beating the snot out of Doflamingo with something like this now.
Luffy turns into an eraser and wipes Doflamingo right off the page.
This is way late, but was anyone else thinking when luffy attacked Trebol and went through him, that it was some dumb, "I'm rubber you're glue" nonesense? xD I was just waiting for Trebol to taunt and say something like, "You're rubber, I'm glue. When you attack it'll bounce off while I stick to you! Nyehnyehnyehnyeh!".

No, i wasnt quoting you because of that. But that you
re overcriticizing often , isn`t a secret.

re overcriticizing many times isn`t a secret.
Well OVERcriticizing is a huge word… I call it normal.
And Wadatsumi joins Jinbe. No one talks about it, but man, something came out from this slightly cute but overall not very eventful detour on Jinbe's journey.
we now know who's going to clash with sanjuan wolf ;)

It would be hillarious.
He already did that against Moriah, though.

Don't add salt to the wound :(. I'm genuinely worried about what Gear 4 could be.
97% of the theories (which i think one them will be the one) are not for my taste.
Oda better have thought this through.

General Franky of course.
Gear 4: -Chibi Luffy.
@$abZ:
Though there have been some illogical moments, this arc hasn't been all that bad. We've been introduced to some great characters like Cavendish and Bartolomeo. The worst part of the arc has been the disappointment of Donflamingo's crew, the best part has been the flashback (the tournament was a nice touch too). The Dressrosa Saga will be better perceived when it's over and people watch it as a whole, Punk Hazard included.
that's something i don't understand, it took a lot of strong coliseum fighters to defeat the whole family and in at least 2 occasions we were on the verge of sh being overwhelmed. maybe some of the fights were sort of rushed but it was a long arc and i didn't feel like it was a major fault.
DD is going to be meant as Definitely Done in 2 chapters max.
He already did that against Moriah, though.
And who's to say he can't simply name the technique after inventing it? Live combat is the best teacher, I'd say.
Seriously though. It's so obvious that whatever comes up after two weeks of speculation and expectations brewing will be polarising at best.
General Franky of course.
Naah. Sanjuanwolf will be beaten by wadatsumi. Franky is goin to super beat somebody more significant of the bb captains

I wonder… he seems to be dropping a lot of random things this arc.
Dressrosa actually feels like the least thought through arc of One Piece.
No point in worrying about the future though; we will experience it when it happens, and not a moment earlier.
we now know who's going to clash with sanjuan wolf ;)
Nah, I think Oda'll give him some sort of cute redemption moment, defending Fishman Island or something of that nature, and he'll be allowed some rest with Aladdin and the rest of the Sun Pirates that actually don't wanna live a life of piracy.
Also, he was obviously far too weak to duke it out with one of Blackbeard's heavy hitters. Even after doping himself (and bystanders noticed how the ES was super effective on him) he couldn't even put a dent on either Sanji or Jinbe. Not a single scratch.
San Juan wolf is definitely gonna be fighting Franky with Megazord Sunny.
I can't wait seeing Barto's reaction to Gear 4 and DoFla's beating…
barto's got to invent a new tribute attack then. after he recover from the eyegasm
Isn't Franky gonna fight the Jesus? Robin can fight San Juan lol
Isn't Franky gonna fight the Jesus? Robin can fight San Juan lol
But I want my mecha vs kaiju one piece style.
Isn't Franky gonna fight the Jesus? Robin can fight San Juan lol
that's more likely to me
I think it's going to be Jinbe, since he's going to be the Martial Artist of the crew.
What if San Juan eats a fruit that complements his size? Like a castle fruit lol
What are your thoughts about Cola vs Alcohol? Does Vasco Shot have a good matchup?
Well OVERcriticizing is a huge word… I call it normal.
Thats the point with having different perspectives xD It ain
t worth investigating further ;)
gear fourth. Each of the previous gears exploited in one specific way the distinctive feature of the rubber. gear 2nd is greater flexibility (thus velocity) through temperature rising. gear 3rd is bigger size inflating air in his body.
oda has shown the limitations of this gears this chapters so we all think about a full body inflate because luffy need to be stronger like g3 without compromising his speed of g2. i hope that's not going to happen cause it would be predictable this time but what if oda is playing with us? remember the mini luffy that used to be after the first times we saw g3? what if the 4th gear his him using compression of rubber in some creative ways? maybe it's just dumb theories stuff, but it would be funnier then the theories said before and a lot less predictable. oda already gave us false clues just to go to the opposite way, so let's see. (2 weeks at this point are 2 much to bear tho).

I think Fishman island is the one when it comes to not thought through arcs. Contrary to most people, i've actually enjoyed Dressrosa. Of course a couple of chapters have been dreadful but 20/100 is a good average.
I can't help but feel worried. I just feel that the possibilities of me not liking the gear are high but we'll see. I'll patiently wait.
Gear 4: -Chibi Luffy.
i saw that too late, you were before me. that's one of the possibilities i was thinking about
Isn't Franky gonna fight the Jesus? Robin can fight San Juan lol
Catarina Devon is Robin's opponent. Devil's child vs the most dangerous female pirate.
Chopper in monster point can fight Sanjuan then.
And who's to say he can't simply name the technique after inventing it? Live combat is the best teacher, I'd say.
Because it was already named?
At least the move he performed was.
But in the end, it's unlikely to be just a fusion that already happened. Oda wouldn't really make a big deal of Gear 4 in that case.
Not a Gear Fourth theory :
The palace destruction will reveal Doffy's treasure room.
Luffy will find Skypiea's golden pillar and use it gently to remove Doffy's glasses.
Catarina Devon is Robin's opponent. Devil's child vs the most dangerous female pirate.
Chopper in monster point can fight Sanjuan then.
Nami is the one who seems to fight all the females. Robin fights whoever. I think Nami is going to fight Catarina
Plus Chopper is gonna fight Doc Q

If we are to believe job battles, Nami's opponent would be Laffitte.

Laffite seems like the better option. A magician vs a trickster. Navigator vs navigator.

Yeah I wouldn't mind that either. Can someone list the roles of the BB pirates?

Will Luffy be able to use Gear 5 too? He had gear 2 and 3 in one arc. It'll make sense if he had 4 and 5.
Gear 2 in chapter 387
Gear 4 in chapter 783
What about the others?

We've seen very little from Pizarro, Devon, Vasco Shot, and San Juan Wolf to say…hell, wasn't the last time we saw them the end of Marineford?

Pretty much. They were on the burning island talking to each other before Akainu showed up.

Sorry if this has been asked before.
Do we have a reliable translation yet on that exchange where Luffy and Doflamingo noted that both were injured? I'd like to know more precisely what was said.
@Don:
That
s the point with having different perspectives xD It ain

True that… In 2 weeks maybe again

Gear 4 in chapter 783
will he have even retro?
Seeing as how Luffy has already done combos combining Gear 2+3 (Moria) and Haki+Gears (all post-timeskip), I can't see this power-up just being a mash-up. Almost has to be different entirely.
Maybe he will harden his entire body (sacrificing his rubberness) to make his attacks harder.
The gears thus far have been about evolving his powers, by using the properties of Rubber. So, in theory, after using elasticity, and expandability, hardening would be a logical next step… if not for pararels with CoA.
Damn….anyone else here think Doffy might actually be killed off? I know Oda-sensei's 'policy' about deaths given the past in the series but I can't imagine any relevance of keeping this shades wearing, eternal smiling asshole anymore in the story, given his past (he's killed everyone important or worth their moral weight in gold in his bio-family), he only lives to cause suffering beyond reason, and especially given how pissed Luffy is AND the damage to Doffy's currently sewn together innards. I just can't imagine him surviving after Gear 4 takes place but even then, perhaps Doffy has something up his sleeve...
