Gear Second: Unparalleled Speed and Strength

Gear Third: Gigantic Proportions and Devastating Power

Gear Fourth: Diverse Variations and Unstoppable Might
Introduced in Episode 726, Gear Fourth is the most advanced and versatile transformation in Luffy's arsenal. It has multiple variations, each with unique properties:
• Boundman:
Characterized by a rubbery physique covered in heavily inflated muscles, Boundman enhances Luffy's overall strength and agility.
• Tankman:
A spherical form that prioritizes defense, Tankman grants Luffy incredible endurance and the ability to absorb attacks.
• Snakeman:
With a serpentine body and rapid, fluid movements, Snakeman excels in speed and precision, allowing Luffy to strike from unexpected angles.
Luffy's mastery of Gear Fourth reflects his unwavering determination and the power of the Gomu Gomu no Mi combined with Busoshoku Haki. These transformations have become his signature techniques, empowering him to overcome formidable opponents and push himself to new heights in the world of One Piece.
