One Piece Creator Inks Wild New Sketch of Gear Fifth Luffy

As a seasoned One Piece enthusiast who has sailed through stormy seas and calmer waters alike, I can confidently say that Luffy’s new Gear Fifth form is nothing short of breathtaking! The way Eiichiro Oda keeps reinventing and evolving this series is truly commendable.


During the Wano Arc of One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy found himself outmatched against Kaido and his Beast Pirates. The odds seemed unfavorable for the Straw Hat Captain, even though he could utilize four gears in battling the dragon warrior. However, it was Kaido who usually held the advantage in their struggle to determine the fate of the isolated nation. Fortunately, Luffy discovered an unexpected trick up his sleeve – a new transformation called Gear Fifth. This incredible ability, unknown to him before, transformed him into a character reminiscent of a cartoon from One Piece’s universe, as created by its author Eiichiro Oda.

After the significant fight at Wano, Luffy and his band of Straw Hat Pirates swiftly moved on to a different destination. Upon reaching Future Island, the Thousand Sunny crew has gained valuable insights from the mysterious Dr. Vegapunk. Previously serving as one of the World Government’s top scientists, Vegapunk aims to atone for past wrongs by supporting Luffy and his team. However, their association with Vegapunk has made them a target of the navy, forcing them to confront the consequences.

Upon reaching Future Island, Monkey has been given another opportunity to utilize Gear Fifth’s power in the anime version. In this fight against a more formidable Rob Lucci, Luffy managed to secure a decisive victory, but the battle with the World Government is still ongoing. The TV show aims to replicate the same events as the manga, so it seems that some of the most intense battles in the series will unfold if the source material is any guide.
