One Piece: 1 strawman is about to gain a lot of power and it's not luffy
Oda plans a huge performance for the Straw Hats – and this time it's not Luffy.
As for Luffy, fans already know that has the power of Haki and Devil Fruit below his belt. actually he has already mastered his Devil Fruit to the point where he awakened it and tapped into the power of the Sun God, Nik. Similarly, Luffy was also great at training his Haki. Although there is still room for development, Luffy has a decent idea of Haki.
This makes one wonder what his new power-up will be, and Oda has already revealed the answer in the Realm of the Dead of Elbaf. The next step for Luffy will be mastering the Voice of All Things.
Luffy's new power is the voice of all things
Luffy is already a master of some amazing abilities One pieceand it is safe to say that he is a very strong fighter. But there are forces in it One piece that go beyond just Haki and Devil Fruits. The most important power that Luffy now gains as the story progresses is the Voice of All Things. Oda first introduced this power through Rayleigh long ago on Sabaody. Confirming that Roger was a user of this power, he found the Poneglyphs.
Wait, how did I know it was Chopper who was falling? — Luffy to Sanji
Finally, it is indicated Roger went on to find out the nature of this power. But Luffy doesn't know how to use it yet. That said, Oda's recent actions have confirmed to fans that Luffy will learn to use this power very soon.
Luffy began to awaken his voice of all things
Luffy had already begun to awaken his Voice of All Things. After the battle at the Wano arc, when Shanks stopped Green Bull from advancing, Luffy clearly sensed the powerful Haki, as did everyone else. But he was the only one who could picture Shanks in his mind and that was because he could sense Shanks' presence from his Haki.
Roger couldn't read Poneglyphs. He only heard the Voice of All Things. That's all. — Rayleigh

Luffy is strong, but with these upgrades, he will reach new heights in the final saga of One Piece.
More importantly, in Elbaf, when Luffy visited Loki in the Realm of the Dead, he could easily feel Chopper falling from a great height. While Sanji was only able to tell that someone was falling, Luffy was able to recognize the voice as Chopper's. This was it shown by Oda to emphasize the fact that Luffy has begun to awaken his Voice of All Things.
Luffy's new power will help him find the one piece
Now that it has been found out Luffy awakens the Voice of All Things Furthermore, fans might wonder how this power will help him in the future. essentially The Voice of All Things allows Luffy to communicate with all things that exist in the world. The biggest mistake fans make when it comes to The Voice of All Things is thinking that it only applies to inanimate objects.
For example, The voice of all things can help one understand the story the Poneglyph is trying to tell. It is because Poneglyphs have their own voiceand by the power of the Voice of all things it is heard. But this ability can also help someone hear the voices of living beings. This includes animals like Zunesha or even nature itself including trees.
This means that even the islands themselves, which have their own voices, can be heard. The voice of all things will be key to how Luffy finds the final Poneglyphand most importantly, when trying to find Laugh Tale. At the same time, this force is most likely also will help him understand the true essence of Hakiwhich itself is based on spirit and willpower.
