I'm reminded of the reason I don't read about One Piece anywhere but these forums- It was argued forcefully and with absurd certainty that Franky could not join the Strawhats because his fighting style was just punching things, the same as Luffy. The crew's shipwright had to be Paulie, with his unique way of fighting with ropes. This was still argued during Franky's fight on Enies Lobby and dominated the chapter discussion on the Arlong Park forums.

So apparently Franky is also a punching specialist.

Atlas is very big and her gloves might be able to fit Franky’s giant hands. Finally Franky might get to do something

I like Baby 5's DF. It has varied applications that make for fun fight scenes, while still having a clear concept instead of being a grab bag of powers like Doflamingo's or Law's.

He already grabbed lightning so yeah, Gear 5 should let him punch Kizaru (unless Luffy not being able to hit him would be funnier or something). Though Luffy could probably also do it with Haki alone at this point.

But the existence of the light gloves/saber makes me think someone else is going to end up fighting him. Since Luffy wouldn't need them. But he could still use them for fun I guess.

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
Since it's a break week, it's a good time to mention you can check all the artwork for the TCG at https://en.onepiece-cardgame.com/cardlist/?series=569101. Lots of good art for a bunch of characters, even minor ones. For example, did you know this guy existed? I didn't!

When it was announced, it looked like the art would just be like from the manga/anime and existing official art, but I'm pleasantly surprised that there's a fair bit of original art.

I like the parallel that when first fighting CP9 they're warned not to do it and that it's a terrible idea because they're declaring war on the World Govt. and of course Luffy ignores it.

now CP0 is advised not to provoke Luffy because it means declaring war on an Emperor. And of course Lucci ignores it.


Also that panel re-enacting the start of their fight in Enies Lobby

Not entirely thrilled that luffy can just jump right to gear 5 and isn't bothering with any of the other ones though, I liked snakeman a lot. Might just be to show that he's taking Lucci really seriously? But that also would probably describe anyone he's fighting for the rest of the manga idk

to be fair, when Luffy first activated G5 he came out of it prematurely and had to remind himself of the people he needed to be clutch for, so it’s not like we absolutely know for sure that Luffy can maintain G5 for extended periods of time unless there’s some real poo poo on the line. Since, you know, Oda loves him that forced narrative tension limit breaks/kaiokens force.

Also why the gently caress is this a spoiler, the official release was half a week ago?

I mean when that happened Luffy was also almost dead and at complete exhaustion. There's no concrete proof yet sure but there's also no reason to believe that Gear 5 is causing Luffy anywhere near the same level of strain his prior Gears did, considering those were Luffy brute-forcing his body to gain strength and speed versus Gear 5 which by all accounts should be completely fine since it's just his "natural" devil fruit ability.

Yeah, I think Gear 5 is going to be the norm from here on out. It's not so much a trump card but rather Luffy becoming his most true and free self. It is massive power creep sure but Luffy is a Yonko now and no longer the underdog that he used to be. So I think it fits.

the specific form is ridiculous, but wishing you could combine his brawn and your brains is simple enough. it's the temporary possession fruit. the funk brothers combine the awe-inspiring powers of being kind of strong and kind of mean. if the two people using it were more impressive it might be something special.

Yeah, I can imagine someone being in the exact situation the jacket-jacket man was in where his brother/friend/whatever was impossibly strong but was a weenie and thinking “drat, my guy is so strong but doesn’t have that killer instinct, if only I could wrap around him like…a jacket…”.

Yeah this is the best and only reason Luffy needs to use it over his other forms. Also it's a good contrast to edgelord murderman Lucci, I love how pissed he looks at Luffy's stupid dodging. Just like he talked poo poo about Gear 3 back at Enies Lobby before realizing he took real damage from it.
