Eiichiro Oda Quietly Sets Up Luffy’s Next Transformation After Gear 5

As a long-time watcher of One Piece, I’ve noticed fans always get incredibly excited whenever Luffy gains a new ability. After the two-year time jump, he really showed off how much he’d grown, especially with Haki, and it felt like a huge leap forward. The Dressrosa arc introduced Gear 4, which was a game-changer at the time. But in Wano, Luffy truly unlocked something special – he mastered his Haki and revealed Gear 5. It feels like this new form will define how he fights from now on; it’s a completely different level of power.
