Powers & Abilities Vote for Luffys next power up!

[Nessos]

What do you think will be Luffys next power up?

Here are the options (feel free to add more):

Nightmare Luffy 2.0
A common theory is that Moriah will return to Wano to take revenge in Kaidou. Of course coincidental at the time Luffy fighting Kaidou. Moriah realises he himself doesn't have any chance ending pimping Luffy with shadows.

New Gear 4 form
We already have 3 Gear 4 Forms. Poundman for damage, Tankman for defense and Snakeman for speed. Some might see Poundman as allrounder then we might get a full attack form. Or we just get and ultimate Gear 4 form combing the attributes of the other 3 forms. One for sure there is still room for more.

Combining Gear 4 with previous Gears
In the fight against Moriah we saw Luffy combining Gear 2 with Gear 3 so Luffy might be able to combine Gear 4 with Gear 2 or Gear 3 as adition speed or damage boost.

Gear 5
Why not a new Gear? Gear 2 effects blood, Gear 3 effects bones and Gear 4 effects muscles. Whats leff Gear 5? Nervesystem or Skin!

Awaken Devil Fruit powers
First time mentioned in Impel Down, where many thought it is just a stat boost for Zoan user, but since the reintroduction by Doflamingo in DR everyone is waiting for Luffy to awake his Devil Fruit powers.

Advance CoC
We know about advance CoO and advance CoA so there might also be advance CoC. Since Luffy Gas already unlucked the advance Version of both CoO and CoA only a potential advance CoC is missing.

Spoiler: previous power ups

1. Gear 2
2. Gear 3
3. Nightmare Luffy (temporary)
4. Gear 2 x Gear 3
5. Basics of CoO, CoA and CoC
6. Gear 4, Poundman
7. Gear 4, Tankman
8. Advance CoO
9. Gear 4, Snakeman
10. Advance CoC

Voted for Nightmare Luffy, that one is more likely than Advanced stuff or Awakening, since they sound more EoS likish.

this is most likely for next big arc

I think Nightmare Luffy is no more since the havoc is started in the entire world and all the things going on It seems Luffy gonna attain Younkou level in Wano with all respects without borrowed power

Sure, but we don't know if there is another power up this arc.

there should be going by the hype of the arc

Nightmare G4 Luffy

Well advance CoA aka "fighting with Shockwave" is enough hyoe or not?

But I myself expect another G4 form, Luffy invented just for efficient usage of advance CoA with G4.

And I would put my bets on Luffy will unconsciously awaken his DF powers at the end of the final fight of this arc.

Another possibility could be G4 shapeshifting

Luffy getting owned by Moriah once more? Not sure..

Gear 5 - hair stretching

This gives him the ability to employ Electro, inspired by the Mink. Combines this with his previous power-ups for a variety of forms, same as he does w/ Gear 4.

Possible forms:

Monkey Man - Luffy grows out his body and facial hair, gaining a fro in the process as well, bringing to mind not only Sun Wukong the Monkey King, but Blackback of the Minks as well. Also, Usopp is once again proven right: afro's do make one stronger. Maybe awakens his fruit by this point to stretch out a weapon ala Goku ( lemme borrow that pillar , Uroge ).

Maybe even pulls some hairs and blows into them to create some clones ( inflatable Luffy-shaped balloons ) as a further nod to Sun Wukong.

Ox/Buffalo Man - Luffy grows an even larger fro and pair of horns to protect himself from further headshots....Awakens his devil fruit to bounce off surfaces similar to Bellamy for added momentum. Brings to mind Sun Wukong's enemy, Gyumao the Ox King, Roddy the Mink, and Kinnikuman pro-wrestler Buffalo Man.

Oni Man - Combines the defense of Tank Man ( pot belly ), the strength of Bounce Man ( Massive forearms ), and the Electro abilities of Buffalo/Monkey Man ( long sweeping hair, horns, hairy forearms, eyebrows, etc ). For pure stand-up fighting against Kaido in a Sumo smackfest.

Luffy essentially gains a form matching those absurdly tall descriptions of him bandied about by some, as revealed when those Strawhat imposters were mucking about post-timeskip. And similar to how Kaku perceived Zoro's aura as the God of Death, Asura, Kaido facing Luffy's Ryuou may briefly glimpse a projecton of...Oars. Dun dun dunnnnnnn, what's the connection there?

Oars Man - No more foreshadowing, Luffy stretches and inflates himself to titanic proportions....or about as tall as Sengoku in Buddha form, anyways.

Or some combination there-of, I dunno.

Nightmare Luffy 2.0 is a def possibility too, tho I hope not TBH....at least not against Kaido and/or Big Mom. I'd rather see Nightmare Momo over that lol.

I like the Oni Man/ Oars Man idea, like a fullbody G3 combined into a Gear Fourth form

Ha, add Dragon Man to my list of possible Gear 5 sub-forms.

Luffy stretches out his torso and neck, ditto for his hair for the purpose of wielding Electro, employs some of the speed and unpredictability of Snake Man to zip zag all over the place ( akin to Lucci's trajectory using high-speed Geppou )...and even takes a page out of Sandersonia's playbook -- Luffy and the other Strawhats will be increasingly deriving lots of inspiration from those they've met on their journeys, including each other -- by swinging his torso side to side to avoid taking hits haha. Maybe even performs a rolling maneuver ripped off of Katakuri? Compresses and launches himself while enveloped in Electro to shoot off like an electrified arrow, mimicking Nami and Brooke's combined attack against Oars? Lol.

Maybe even gains his own equivalent to a "flame breath" attack somehow? Elemental haki/manipulation is bound to become an official thingl imho, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Luffy learn to wield it as well, with his Red Hawk attack arguably being an example of such. Apart from Ace, it could also serve as Luffy's tribute to Sabo and Sanji . Speaking of Sabo, Luffy could end up adopting some of his and Dragon's Dragon Claw techniques in this hypothetical Gear 5 Dragon Man form. Literal flame breath may be way too out there, so a Red Hawk/Dragon Claw type technique may be a much more more realistic possibility.

combination of G4....in other words...perfect mastery of g4 combined with advanced haki....he can switch forms at ease without stressing too much
