In ‘One Piece‘, Luffy’s Gear 5 was one of the most anticipated moments from the anime. In the recent episodes, we got to see Luffy’s Gear 5 awakening, after Kaido defeats him for some time. Luffy’s Gear 5 is also known as Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which increases the user’s rubber-like body’s strength. It also increases the devil fruit’s powers.
One Piece is one of the most popular animes in the world. It is based on the manga, ‘One Piece’ written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. The story follows the adventure of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, where he explores the Grand Line in search of the mythical treasure known as ‘One Piece’.

What is Luffy’s Gear 5?
Gear 5 is the awakened form of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which strengthens the user’s rubbery body. It also allows the user the ability to manipulate and transform their environment, similar to a Paramecia awakening. Luffy achieved this ability during his final battle with Kaidou.
How Strong is Luffy’s Gear 5?
Gear 5 grants the user God-like abilities. Apart from manipulating their body, the user can also manipulate the surroundings and control the environment. This is evident in episode 1071 of the anime, where Luffy keeps jumping from one point to another and it seems as if the whole ground is bouncing as well.
Gear 5 also consumes a lot of stamina and energy, but those are the only 2 main drawbacks. Luffy is yet to make good use of his Gear 5 abilities. He mockingly beats up Kaido and we hope that he defeats him in the upcoming episodes.
Episode 1071 of One Piece is now available on Crunchyroll.
