It's time to welcome Luffy's final gear in one piece

Monkey D. Luffy is the main character One pieceand is currently among the strongest characters in the entire series. After the recent events of One Piece's The land of Wano, Luffy officially became one of the most powerful in the entire world when he defeated one of the Yonks, Kaido. Luffy has now become a Yonk and it is safe to say that he is an extremely powerful individual.

However, Luffy still hasn't reached his full potential. His Devil Fruit awakened and he can max it out, but that doesn't mean Luffy won't use his stronger forms. Luffy's final power-up it is yet to come and fans will most likely see it The Great War who will see him taken down Im and world government once and for all. Luffy's most likely final Power-up will be his Final Gearand fans are absolutely ecstatic waiting for Oda to reveal this legendary power-up to them.

Luffy gets one more upgrade after Gear 5

Gear 5 Luffy is still weaker than Rocks

• Rocks was stronger than Luffy in God Valley

• The Rocks still lost to Imu

Fans often mistakenly believe that Luffy's Gears always come from new Devil Fruit forms. For example, Gear 2 allowed Luffy to pump blood faster and become stronger, while Gear 3 allowed him to inflate his very bones. Gear 4 allowed for muscle bulk, but at the same time Gear 4 also saw Luffy use Maximum Armament Haki to create maximum tension in his body and use it to great effect in battle.

in other words Haki is an essential part of Gear 4. Now, Gear 5 was completely a transformation of the Devil Fruit, given that it was the result of his Awakening. However, fans must keep in mind that Luffy's Haki can still grow and can be used in exciting ways to become even more powerful, eventually leading to the creation of the Final Gear.

The fact is that Luffy's Gear 5, while powerful, is not enough for him to defeat Ima, or even Blackbeard at this point. Gear 5 is stronger than as Kaidoand maybe Elders, but it certainly doesn't bring him much closer to Rocks, and if Rocks lost to Imuthen Luffy is nowhere near Imu's power level. Gear 5 is clearly not enough for him to defeat such a monster.

Luffy won't beat Ima without new gear

Luffy vs Imu is inevitable

Luffy needs new Gear if Imu is to be defeatedand that's a fact. Luffy is strong, but not yet strong enough to defeat people like Ima. This is where Final Gear comes in. The first thing fans need to keep in mind is that Luffy's new Gear will likely be seen in use partial form of Gear 5like Gear 4 did with Snakman, Tankman and Bounceman.

Then you have to remember that Luffy soon learns advanced Conqueror Haki which can even damage immortals in the Final Saga of One piece. When these two powers come together, Luffy will have his final gear and fans absolutely cannot wait to see what this form of Luffy will look like.
