Introducing: Gears (Not like Luffy's gears)

FireFistAce 0

Being that even Rokushiki is beatable by the Strawhats, I thought up a new type of weapon that would be extremely effective and at the same time not lose its Odaverse feel. It's something I've thought a bit about and I'd like to know what you think.

They're called Gears. No, not like Luffy's gears. If anything, they're more like dials. Gears allow a person to extend themselves beyond their physical and mental limits, creating a fighting edge for its users. They come in various shapes and sizes, but most commonly are cog shaped. When in use, they glow slightly and emit a tiny bit of heat (Nothing significant).

Here are my gear ideas:

1. Charge Gear:

The Charge gear is attached to the arm or leg. When activated, it allows the body to channel Dorukiki into it, which in turn is recycled back into the limb in use. This generates enormous power in the limb, and allows it to strike with much more fury than ever thought possible.

The drawback? The charge gear creates enormous stress on the limb. The physical pain is immediately felt, unlike an Impact or Reject dial, and must be ignored. Only a disciplined individual can use the Charge Gear without risking permanent damage to their limb.

2. Optical Gear:

The Optical gear is attached to the eye. When the wearer observes his opponent through that eye, the lens on the Optical gear uses an advanced photographic process to "Burn" the image into the gear's memory. At any time during the conflict, the user can playback combat data by tapping on the side of the gear. This easily allows the user to predict his opponents' moves, much like Mantra.

The drawback? The optical gear has to observe the opponent to gain combat data on them. It records very quickly, but during playback, the user must still be aware of his opponent, in order not to get hit while reviewing the data.

3. Vibro Gear:

The Vibro Gear is attached to a limb. It creates a constant vibration throughout whatever limb it is attached to that is extremely fast, in essence making the limb a blade. At the speed it vibrates, the user is able to cut through anything, causing extreme havok to his opponent.

The drawback? Like the Charge Gear, it creates enormous stress on the user's limbs. It can't be used for extended periods of time without risking permanent injury.

4. Thrust Gear:

The Thrust gear is attached to the back of the legs. It creates forward thrust in controlled bursts. By hitting the dial with the palm of the hand, the user will sprint forward at a speed even faster than Lucci's Soru. The gear is easily adjustable to control the distance of the sprint, meaning it can be an easy tool for avoiding enemy attacks.

The drawback? Like Charge and Vibro, it creates stress on the legs. Not as much, but it's still evident after several repeated uses. Also, much like what Chopper did to Gedatsu, if one of the dials is removed, the person will literally spin in a circle when the other gear is activated.

5. Leap Gear:

The Leap gear is attached to the heel of the shoe. When the dial is stamped on, it creates an upward thrust that allows the user to jump extremely high. Much higher than they could achieve with Geppou.

The drawback? Unlike Thrust gear, it can't be adjusted. So you'll always jump like your jumping to the moon.

6. Lift Gear.

These are attached to the bottom of each arm. They actually go hand in hand with the Leap Gear. They are activated by spreading the arms straight out. While being far from creating flight for the user, they slow his descent greatly, allowing him to continue attacking while in midair.

The drawback? After coming out of spread eagle, the dials deactivate after about 10-15 seconds. So you must perform your move within that time frame.

7. Boom Dial:

The Boom dial is attached to the hands or feet. When the user kicks or punches with the dial attached, the dial will measure the force of that kick or punch, and amplify it. It will then project it out as a loud shockwave. This is esentially a projectile gear a helluva lot powerful than a gun or rifle.

The drawback? The loud noise can stun the user as well if it's powerful enough. Also, the gear does have a slight recoil.

I have a few more, but I'll wait and introduce them later.

What do you think?

i Think you got a lot of free time to think of those lol you probably should try to be manga artist?

Selph

I think I can only give you four words.

Too much free time!

But yeah, as omega said, maybe you should try to make a story of your own or something

Spi D. Erman

Selph I like to Avy and sig.

And if they're not like luffy's gears, then why call them gears. Just call them mods or chips or addons or legos or anything.

The idea wasn't bad, but just not "original" enough to exist in Oda's masterpiece

Exactly where have you heard anything particuarly like this?

@Private:

Exactly where have you heard anything particuarly like this?

This kind of things are somehow like "Flame of Recca", "MAR", or some comics that i can't remember where it always led to collect gears.

FireFistAce 0

I've never read those series.

This was an idea of mine back after they left Skypeia, long before Luffy invented Gear 2. That's why I called it gears initially, because it was a new concept.

Ah oh well i just don't want One piece turns to a "Let's collect Gears" story to increase their fighting capability.

Luka

looooooooooooooool

FireFistAce 0

Okay, Luka, if you're not going to say something intelligent, don't bother posting… I doubt you even read my post.

No, it's nothing like that, Omega. I didn't want the gears to get in the hands of the Strawhats in the first place. These were strictly for the enemy to counter the abilities of the strawhats. With the introduction of CP9 and Rokushiki, I had to modify my concept of it.

Still, I think it's plausible. Such devices could be prohibitively expensive on the first half of the Grand Line, so they could only be reserved for the absolute highest guard against piracy; that is, those that monitor the 4 Emperors and protect Raftel itself. Also whatever suppression method is in place for the Gyojin and the Kyojin could be in place, too.

Overtaker

damn u, i'm having exam here and u r having so much free time XD

@Luka:

looooooooooooooool

Omg! Luka Who is this cute chick?

kljs

about Optical Gear…... somehow it sounds like that Saiyan's eye thingy that calculate battle points or something like that....

ChopChopCannon

You have too much time on your hands.

Anyway, interesting ideas, but the Strawhats could still beat those Gears.

I agree with Omega and Selph- you should start your own manga.

I'd read it.

KizoFieva

shrug, it's not that the idea is bad or anything, but this is fanfiction stuff. I'm all for discussions and predictions, but creating new ideas for someone else's work is awkward, even if said ideas are decent or even good. In essence, this is no different than if I were to say, "Hey, I think the Strawhats should go to a candy island and fight candy monsters and save the candy princess!!" My example is obviously stupid, but the principle is the same.

(Of course, if you were to make your own story with these gears, their similarity to Dials might bring you some negative feedback, too. Can't win.)

For specific feedback as relating to OP, though:

1. Charge Gear - Too much like Impact/Reject, and Douriki is only a measurement of physical strength, not something that could be channeled.

2. Optical Gear - Too futuristic for OP.

3. Vibro Gear - A little too futuristic, or maybe just not in line with the Odaverse, but it just feels out of place. Who would use it?

4. Thrust Gear - You even mention that it's already been done.

5. Leap Gear - …I guess this one's fine, though I don't really see a purpose to it.

6. Lift Gear - See, it sounds like you have a character you're designing in mind for this and the last gear.

7. Boom Dial (Dial? I thought these were Gears) - Kinda cheesy if the user is punching/kicking the air, and if the user is punching a surface that is then destroyed by the shockwave... well, aren't most of our heroes strong enough to do that already?

A common problem when people are writing ideas for fanfiction is that they try to make everything they come up with sound really great by comparing it to instances that the reader knows. "...at a speed even faster than Lucci's Soru," "Much higher than they could achieve with Geppou." Not everything new has to be better than what the last villain could do.

Anyway.

I agree…. not everything has to be better then the last villain.... but it can be better is some other aspect.... maybe it's more user-friendly....

Hm game designer is another option for you, i would download your game for free, but not buy it…

Rai

Everything's being said 2 times, I won't make it hard and say it all again =X
Although, every single Gear has a huge bad side. I think you're better off advancing your Gappous and Soru than cheating with it and have obvious limits..

Kaze

So there like Upgraded versions of dials, right?

Zulen

Come on mates, you're scaring Fire Fist Ace away. I bet he took his time on this.

dameon_reaper

-busts into Firefist Ace's house and steals the Gears' idea and makes a video game-

seriously though, a friend I know is starting a RPG production, which I'm part of and this idea is a steal /gg j/k

nah, I would ask first but I think the idea of our first game is already up.

regasatanum

haha i patented your idea under my name. your too slow. us military is offering 50 million for my patent, yahoooooo thanks pal!!!

Kakashizero

I like to think I can write. Can't draw to save my life though. Seriously, if someone put a gun to my head and said 'draw or die' I'd end up producing the most retarded stick figures you've ever seen.

That little random tidbit said, I rather liked your ideas.

What do you think?

I'm unsure exactly how you mean for this one to work. Are you saying it's like taking the strength of an attack, expending it, putting it back in the limb, and adding it to the strength of another attack?
That would be perfect for someone who simply observes early fights and then steps in later on after studying it.
I like, I like. Could you, in theory, use more than one on a single limb for increased power at the cost of it being usable for a shorter duration? Well, safely, anyway.
Hmm, it would be a bit awkward to have to hit it with the palm of your hands each time you want to use it, I think.
. . .I'm sorry, I got the mental image of putting them on a cow to test if you could make it jump over the moon. Other than that, it's neat in certain situations.
And this explains how the Leap Gear doesn't end up making you paste upon landing.
Another nice one. If your attack is very powerful, though, seems like it could deafen you eh? It wouldn't be of as much use to really strong people, I guess.

G-Greato

Man… sorry... but... I hate you!
One Piece is Oda and Oda is One Piece... not you!
Luckily, therefore, One Piece is neither like DB or Naruto nor a Mecha Anime.
One Piece is just the best with plausible explanations(most of them) of the "magic" things happening. There will be no flying with "chi", there will be no random energy attacks and there fucking will not be things that increase your power just as stealing sweets from a baby.
How old are you? Do you think on the next island there will be some creatures evolving into other forms that can be caught in small balls?
Or is it just that you are a Narutard?
Do you have any idea what kind of a genius Oda is?

don' make me laugh baka

Kakashizero

I tend to lose respect for people who use the term 'baka' as a serious insult, rather than just saying…well, idiot.

Or, moron.

If you want to be fancy you can even call someone a retarded wombat, although there's nothing fancy about wombats.

...where was I?

Oh, yes.

You, sir, are being a bit of a moron.

Well, sir or madam.

I can't actually just instantly tell from your username. The emphasis was on the moron bit, though.

. . .>_>

FireFistAce 0

Yeah, uh… that was totally unnecessary.

All of these "Gears" are actual devices. Like dials. Did you forget that dials are seashells that can do unordinary things, such as AMPLIFY THE POWER OF A BLOW, or generate upward thrust? Or that Rokushiki are powers that don't make ANY sense? How does tapping your foot eight times in a second make you move fast? How can a person turn themselves into paper to dodge blows? How can a man be hit by a 8000 pound bat and not have his had knocked into the next state, much less get up and finish his fight? How can a person make his body like iron/steel to weather blows?

You hate me for having an opinion and you're asking how old I am? YOU are the one being a child. Because unlike you, I'm willing to accept other people's opinions. None of these ideas involve "Magic". Dorukiki is an actual concept that Oda created to measure physical strength, which is EXACTLY LIKE DBZ'S POWER LEVELS. For crying out loud. If you read Enies Lobby at all, the whole Dorukiki and power levels stuff is IN ONE PIECE.

This was an idea I had. It's called fanfic. It's my own imagination. If you don't like it, fine. But hating me for coming up with it is ridiculous. That's the maturity of a five year old.

So, unless you can explain to me how Usopp survived a 8000 pound bat to the head, why Fukuro went to great lengths to explain Dorukiki, why a person can turn their body to steel, jump higher than normal (geppou), Turn their body to paper to avoid blows (Kame-e), how Pell can survive being blown up by a BOMB WITH A FOUR KILOMETER RADIUS, among other things, then you'll have to accept the fact that not everything in One Piece is explained.

By the way, all of these Gears have drawbacks, if you bothered to read them.

Hating a guy you don't even know cause you don't like his idea... that's just sad. Really.

Polygon

how does the Rokushiki not make sense? :blink:

Kakashizero

I've always wondered how Geppou, or however you spell it…how Moon Step works.

Jumping off the air.

Polygon

@Kakashizero:

Jumping off the air.

**I would suppose it's kinda like walking on water. I think it works like this:

make a small cushion of air under your feet and then his the cushion with a strong recoil so that you can hit it with enough force to propel yourself forward in mid-air.**

FireFistAce 0

Because, in all honesty, how can you "Measure" someone's strength? It's easy to say, "He's stronger than that guy", but you can't say exactly how strong he is, unless it's in relative terms.

For example: "This guy is strong enough to break 5 stacked wooden boards with his fist". That's fine, but that's being relative. We can't say, "Oh, his strength is 4000 horsepower", or something to that effect. Because we don't know, exactly. We know what he can do, but we don't know his exact power.

I liked One Piece when it was just, "This pirate is the strongest in the world. [Whitebeard]. He's the only one that fought equally with Whitebeard". That's a relative measure of strength and therefore perfectly acceptable. If someone were to say, "Whitebeard is 16,000 Dorukiki", then you should ask, "How the hell do they know that?"

As for Rokushiki, Some of them are perfectly plausible, considering the strength of the One Piece people. Tekkai and Rankyaku, fine. But turning your body into paper? Okay… And moving fast just because you stamped your foot? I can understand if it was like coiling your legs, then moving off the force from the uncoiling that created the speed (Something that Bellamy did), but simply stamping your foot?

Geppou... okay. By forcing down your leg to jump higher, I can understand that. And Shigan is perfectly fine. Jabbing someone really hard with your finger. Okay.

Kakashizero

@Octogon:

I would suppose it's kinda like walking on water. I think it works like this:

make a small cushion of air under your feet and then his the cushion with a strong recoil so that you can hit it with enough force to propel yourself forward in mid-air.

I always, for some reason, imagined something involving actually striking the soles of your feet against the molecules in the air as if hitting a solid wall.

How, I have no idea.

As for the cushion of air, could you try elaborating a little? I think I got the gist of it, but I'm not entirely sure.

Super-Sexy-Edit: I also agree that I was rather displeased, at first, by the introduction of Douriki…but considering that it's measured by using a certain character's special power, unless other characters can do the same thing I think it was solely for comparison between CP9 members and won't shut up again. Just a guess.

I believe that Stephen said that douricki is how far one has progressed in a martial art. in this case, Rokushiki

**Kamie-ie has nothing to do with paper. It's like activating heightened mental awareness to the point of super-dodging. For example:

When I was 8, I played soccer with some bigger boys. Their kicks were far to fast for me. For some reason I concentrated (basically meditating, but I didn't know I was doing it then) for a long time. After a while, an older boy accidentally kicked the ball right at me. But because of me concentrating for so long, I was able to block the ball going at my face with my leg, easily. The thing is, I didn't even know I did it until after I blocked it. It just happened.** **As for soru. Just kick off the ground had and propel yourself froward. Soru is like that manny times over.

@** Kakashizero: Cushion of air means to gather air gather a lot of air in one placeee and condense it. Like rankyankyu.

Kakashizero

In the case of Rankyankyu I thought that was the result of moving the leg at a high speed.

So, you're suggesting that for Geppou the foot is moved at a high speed in mid-jump to produce a cushion of air, or some sort of nearly-solid air current, that one can kick off against? Or did I misinterpret again?

So….do you talk out of your *** or just suffer from diarrhea of the mouth?

Without Dragonball you wouldn't have One Piece, Oda was INSPIRED by Toriyama's work to think of One Piece.

Pants-eater

I must say, those are some pretty cool ideas. Imagine Usopp in a gear suit, looking like a bad ass robo ass kicker and doing all sorts of awesomeness, only to emerge and be revealed as a guy with a long nose.

One Piece is Oda and Oda is One Piece… not you!

One Piece is made by Oda and everyone's to enjoy. Don't be some elitist guy saying, "We all must lick Oda's shoes and you are not worthy enjoy his manga for we are unworthy dipsticks etc etc".

fucking will not be things that increase your power just as stealing sweets from a baby.

Lessee… Devil Fruit, anyone?

Or is it just that you are a Narutard?

Where did he say he liked Naruto? I can name quite a few other series with random power-ups, not just Naruto.

How old are you?

G-Greato

Hm… now I just have the feeling to defend myself and make my position clear....so don't blame me for anything.

Kakashizero: I use baka whenever I feel like it. You may use Wombats, Nacked Mole Rats or whatever else if you like. Also if I SERIOUSLY wanted to insult someone I could also have used other words but I don't think that they would say what I wanted to say with "baka" ...

Pants-eater: I didn't want to know how old YOU are... sorry for no interest at all... did you ever hear of something called a "retorical question"? No...!? But thats only what I think... So please don't start crying and "licking someone's shoes" you just read an article from in a forum. And don't critisize things you don't understand.
Now eat up!

Last but not least
"Fire-Fist" Ace: You know... I may have another way of understanding Manga than you have. But it's fine, right? Different people, different ways.
If that was what you meant by "willing to accept other people's opinions" then you have 100% of my agree in this point.
Now as you might have realized I wrote "most of them" reagarding to the sense of things in One Piece. I'm pretty much aware of the things making no sense and sometimes (Pell i.e.) I really hate it! But did you realize that this is a Manga and not the real world? This is where Nami can beat up Luffy which also wouldn't make any sense in our world. This is where Usopp's nose was broken ten times or something but is still straight. And this also is where you may be beaten with an 8000 pound bat and survive it. Btw you should have realized that in the current timeline nobody has ever died in One Piece.
This is a something Oda does for some reason I don't understand and I also don't like it.
As you can see I'm aware of the weaknesses and I can sort of understand your point. But what you called the "Odaverse feeling" is destroit if you get too much ahead of things. Do you know why I liked the whole dial thing? Because it is only found in sky island and only Usopp (and Nami) use(s) them in the blue sea. They may be illogical or something but it's brought in to put a stress on the magical, yes magical, feeling of the skypea arc.
But using some "Gears" which are, sorry to say so, nothing more than modified forms of dials would take this mentioned special feeling away.
I don't THINK it would do any good to the series if there were mechanical powerups to come and them having a drawback doesn't make them any more plausible or neccesary. There a good reason I THINK for that you have to train a DF ability, you may die from Impact/Reject dials if your body can't endure it or train a long time to master Rokushiki. Otherwise Don Krieg would be pirate king.
This is a fanfic, ok. You may have the feeling there's something missing in One Piece, in MY OPINION there is not.
Now; noticed something?

ITSALION

The gears are a nice idea, but essentiall they're just super dials and rokushiki v. 2.0.

Just simply destroying your rhetoricalness and saying that the "How old are you?" thing is stupid. I do understand what you're going on about. I'm not "crying" nor "licking someone's shoes". I'm saying, you seem to be acting like that. Not me, YOU. What I read was a guy saying another person is stupid and is a complete idiot for writing some fan fiction ideas.

realize that this is a Manga and not the real world?

He did. I'm pretty goddamn 100% sure he did.

Anyway, don't mind if I make my own "gear" idea:

Smash Gear, it absorbs the weight, density, hardness, texture, size etc. Then you simply throw it at the guy or something. Is basically a big metal ball spong-thingy. Can't imitate melee atacks.

G-Greato

You're so funny dudes
You make me wonder if I came to the right forum….....
P- P- Pokémon

FireFistAce 0

Yeah, I'm sorry, Pants, that sounds way too much like a poke-ball…

I originally created the gears for a gaiden which takes place a couple hundred years after One Piece events take place. The reason for them was that the Devil Fruits had supposedly vanished following an incident that happened when Luffy became Pirate King, so people are forced to rely on mechanical and other methods for combat (Like Rokushiki).

ChopChopCannon

I will own you all with a stolen Boom Gear.

Pants-eater

Yeah, I'm sorry, Pants, that sounds way too much like a poke-ball…

Hmmm… Better fix up on that. Maybe just a really heavy ball that absorbs everything you smack.

Uh-huh. Pokemon prettyy much sucks, in my opinion, thoug the games aren't all bad.
