Isn't Gwen a bit more complicated than merely reaching into and out of panels?
Like, she can view the narrative and manipulate it and stuff if her older, evil version is anything to go by.
Don't think One Piece can be enjoyable or have any real tension if Luffy could pull off such things.
Yeah she can alter reality, talk with her future self and copy other heroes powers. The writers literally battle with her to keep things the same as much as possible. But the going through panels definetly scream gwenpool
Oh, man. Look up Duck Amuck. THE OG animation 4th wall breaker. Daffy Duck fucking with the environment, the physical frame itself and the artist.
Not that I want that for One Piece but since you asked, I thought I'd share.
Less Daffy fucking with it and more the artist doing it, but the point stands. It’s a great example of 4th wall breaking (and an excellent cartoon in general, one of my favorites)
Or he could just pull a transition like a PowerPoint from one scene to another could also have his voiceover in the next scene and all of a sudden a hand reaches down and pulls a character into the last scene he was in.
That's putting some serious shade on gear 4th it doesn't deserve. It may look goofy,
But Luffy saying to Doffy "You won't be able to do a thing agaisnt me now" then blitzing him and knocking him halfway across the city was freaking epic.
Nothing can top gear second introduction for me, it was just so good
Edit: guys why are you replying so much also who's luffy, I was talking about the top gear show
Yeah for me G4 introduction was brilliant and is my favourite gear, I must have watched that kong gun hit Doffy about 50 times! I really like how clever G4 is combining the rubber and haki properties. In reality I'm still not quite on board with G5 because I enjoyed the fact he used to keep within the limits of his rubber power (I know I'm in the minority here)
G4: Snake Man is one of the most hype transformations in the whole show imo, but it’s also really hard to beat the animation quality and build up on G5, and G2 is one of the most iconic transformations in anime history
Gear 6 doesnt make any sense.
"This is my peak, i can do whatever i want"
Another Form like Snakeman, Tankman etc. maybe, but not another Gear.
But Gear 2, that shit rocks
Gear second is iconic. The speed and power boost that blindsided blueno, the cost of using it, you could tell it was killing luffy, the iconic pose, the steam, the red body. When he evolved it after the timeskip without the need to pump his legs, it was amazing.
probably, it's a Zoan after all, I really don't this form is the fully transformed form, that's probably the híbrido form since he still looks a lot like himself, like most zoando do on the hibrid form
Gear second is always goated. It was the only gear that ended the fight the second it was introduced. All the other gears luffy did some cool stuff but still struggled to win the fight.
Think gear 2 and 3 are the best because luffy uses creative ways to pack bigger punches. 4 and 5 just kind of happen.
Also no, don't want a gear 6th. 5 is a perfect number to end the gears
4 and 5 don't just "kind of happen". 4 is literally the same as 2 and 3, just a creative way to combine his powers to become stronger. 5, meanwhile, is literally the absolute freedom of being able to do whatever he wants with the creativity that led him to develop the other 4.
Gear 5 did indeed just “kind of happen.” He didn’t come up with it or train it like the other gears. He gets knocked out and wakes up with it, not even knowing what is happening either.
Whoever made this is an artist.
Also you can’t really get a more unique power after ALTERING the world so maybe just keep it at 5
All of the gears are super in their own way, just not a fan of Gear 2 because it shaves my life away from
No more gears.
I think the fourth Gear is the best.
It has tankman for defence ( Oda should have utilised it. He literally threw in the trash such a good move).
Bounceman for offence.
And Snakeman for movement, speed
Tje standard for cats is 5 gears and gear 5 is tje awakening so I don't think we will get more, however newer cars often have 6 gears so it's possible.
I like 2nd because it goes against what you’d expect. 3rd, 4th and 5th are more stretching, expanding and other things you’d expect a Rubber Man to do.
2nd is a clever trick that goes against the grain, and being a big brain move from little brain Luffy makes it all the better.
Hot take, I’ll be happy with whatever Oda writes, because I’ve been a fan for more than half my life and I’m 30.
If Oda gives us a gear 6, I’m all for it!
nah no need for a 6th one, next upgrade needs to be voice of all things 🔥
edit: to clarify, mastering* voice of all things, iirc that lil boy alr got it
It saddens me that Snakeman is forgotten.
Anyway, no. We don't need more forms
Let Luffy get creative and experiment with Gear 5 like he did with 4 and leave it at that. We don't want this to turn into Dragon Ball where Luffy gets a new form each time.
Gear 6. Luffy stretches his body into a gear, a gear that controles all time and space. He then instantly summons the one piece to him, only to realise... Roggers greatest treasure was his son, and so luffy is now just stuck with Aces corpse. This leads straight into the sequel of One Peice called "Two Peice," where Zoro, trying to chear up the now depressed luffy, takes luffy to McDonald's to get a 2 peice McNugget, they end up getting lost and have to go on an even greater and wackyer adventure.
(Sorry if you died of peek fiction)
6th would be unnecessary. 5th is peak. He can improve some things about gear 5 like how long he can stay in that form but it would still be gear 5. His imagination is the limit so can't get a better gear than that
I could imagine Gear 6 being a mix between 4 and 5 almost... imbuing more Haki, namely armament, into his body and contorting it erratically due to his wackiness in 5th.
Gear 2 lore is great, Luffy pumping his bloodstream with his rubber Devil Fruit to speed up his body/reactions is really cool, and steaming as he moves to show the increased heat from that pumped blood works great.
Gear 3 shouldn’t be a separate gear on its own. His Gear 3 moves like Elephant Gun and Gigant Pistol are sick though and led to one of the best panels in One Piece when he punched Lucci in Enies Lobby. Lore wise those moves fit with his rubber abilities. In the story it feels like Luffy used his Gear 3 too quickly too. Introduction to Gear 2 just happened and already he’s using the next “transformation”.
Gear 4 visually is awesome and a great blend of Haki and Devil Fruit. Bounce Man is perfect.
Gear 5 is visually really cool too, but story wise I don’t like Luffy all of a sudden becoming a god Devil fruit instead of the original rubber one. It feels like a narrative cop out.
While gear 4 and gear 5 are awesome, Gear 2 is always my favorite.
Because that is the first time where we see Luffy can power up beyond normal means.
I guess, the same thing with Super Saiyan.
Dragon Ball can have Super Saiyan 2, 3, Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Pink, Crimson, Brown, White, or whatever color fancy you.
The first Super Saiyan form is the most memorable for me.
I think we will see a gear 6 or a more advanced gear 5, because his fruit gives him the power of sun god nika, so I feel like the color palette for a sun god form should have warmer colors like red or orange and not white.
I don't think we will ever get any new gear as luffy said it is his peak. Also I don't really see what would be above turning into a fucking god.
However, I wouldn't mind a new Gear 5 form, a "Gear 5.5" or "Gear 5 bis" of some sort. Just like how Snakeman was still Gear 4, but was a different form from the one we saw before.
First off, snake man is hands down the best one. Second, can I cook for a second?
I'm gonna keep my theory brief but given what we know as far as zoans go, I think gear 5 isn't an awakening but rather luffy's "full animal form" so to speak. What if Gears 2 and 3 are him using the aspects of his fruit, Gear 4 is the hybrid form, and gear 5 is the full transformation. The changing of the terrain (like an awakened paramecia would) is just part of the fruit being mythical. What if, given the toon nature of his fruit, his real awakening is going something like "gomu-gomu-no domain expansion: steamboat willy"
I've always much preferred 2 to 3, 4 is cool and probably my favourite in terms of mechanics (the idea of using haki to harden only certain parts thus creating a bend) but I dislike how it looks and it's hard to say any of them come close to gear 5 which is incredible to watch, and equally incredibly powerful.
I wouldn't want a gear 6, but I do wish Luffy had more versions of gear 4 which had bound man and snake man but could easily have had one more, or even just used snake man more since it was only really used against katakuri and I think a short bit against doffy. It's probably too late to add another since there's no reason for Luffy to power up to a level below gear 5 anymore (if they're a strong opponent, gear 5 is necessary to win, if they're a weak opponent, he doesn't need anything, if they're somewhere in between he could just go gear 5 for an instant win and because it was so fast he doesn't have repercussions)
G4 for me, bc he look \*really\* intimidating also, the multiples forms topped with snakeman.
G2 was top too, and a top escene, but now it feels so basic.
G5 is great but Oda make the last stage more simple wich its common in mangas (Madara, freezer, Buu, fairy tail...), so for me, even if it looks great, i feel it lost 'something', and its even more noticeable now we reach the final arcs and we can see some really dope powerhouses.
About G6, the moment luffy said he feels at his peak, i discarded it. Maybe G5 forms, like he did in G4
Gear 5 having various forms like gear 4 would be great to see
Seeing Oda use more and more of his imagination for luffy makes one piece fun in my opinion
The surprise of seeing each chapter be completely different from what I was expecting is what makes reading it fun
Aswell as watching the anime and seeing what way they adapt the manga
g5 already makes you root for the bad guy because how overpowered that shit is, even Oda gave that thing the "stamina handicap" so *the bad guy* has a change against Luffy.... so no idea why there will be any need to even think about g6...
https://preview.redd.it/gs9btwr9rd8d1.jpeg?width=276&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c32d8136c378aa1bfa28112a324372c05cfe6a55
Luffy will go back in time to throw lightning at him and buggy
I feel like gear 5 is so broad and kinda messes up with any sense of scaling, so gear 6 should be like where he uses haki and all his previous abilities to ground hemself with actual calculatble strentgh. Stronger then gear 5 but still just more grounded
This is actually kinda rough.
I know it's not 3, while it's cool it didn't have the same impact as the others.
2 has probably my favourite introduction of the bunch in the Bruno fight.
4 is coo mechanicallyl n all but it doesn't look visually appealing to me.
I really didn't like 5 but it's grown on me quite a bit.
I'd say 5 for the way it integrates into the story probably but 2 is not far behind
If Luffy got Gear 6th he'd be breaking the 4th wall and literally erasing Imu with an big pencil.
Imagine if this is how Imu is defeated:
![gif](giphy|ckTEmM6DDogYknpvEs|downsized)
I personally have gear 5 as my favorite for a number of reasons, the crazy and entertaining fights, the lore importance, the fact that Luffy now embodies two things he's known for since the beginning, silliness and freedom, all those reasons have me select gear 5 as not only my favorite gear, but probably my favorite transformation, at least in recent memory. I kinda hope there isn't a gear 6 simply because 5 is a better number to end on than 6, especially with G-E-A-R-5 having 5 letters / numbers.
I like gear 2 and 5 the most so far with Snakeman as solid 3rd place.
I think there is still a possibility for a gear 6, since his powers are only limited by his imagination. That sounds for me like he could basicly do anything, even using other elements etc (i.e Red hawk)

6th gear is when Luffy figures out how to reach into other panels
Meta Piece
It's only a matter of time before he does that anyway
He is basically “The Mask” already, might as well go head first with it.
Gwen D. Pool
Isn't Gwen a bit more complicated than merely reaching into and out of panels? Like, she can view the narrative and manipulate it and stuff if her older, evil version is anything to go by. Don't think One Piece can be enjoyable or have any real tension if Luffy could pull off such things.
Yeah she can alter reality, talk with her future self and copy other heroes powers. The writers literally battle with her to keep things the same as much as possible. But the going through panels definetly scream gwenpool
Gwenpool
Luffy already did that https://preview.redd.it/fimtf0l3zc8d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ab03a691d9a2fd068616ed403df390e116ae165
How would they transfer that to anime tho?
Probably like pulling the bottom of the screen up and finding the future/past in a old school film tape style
He boutta hit people with his health bar MvC Deadpool style
MvC?
Marvel Versus Capcom
So *that's* what MvC is short for.
Maybe not always, but in this context, yes.
Oh, man. Look up Duck Amuck. THE OG animation 4th wall breaker. Daffy Duck fucking with the environment, the physical frame itself and the artist. Not that I want that for One Piece but since you asked, I thought I'd share.
Less Daffy fucking with it and more the artist doing it, but the point stands. It’s a great example of 4th wall breaking (and an excellent cartoon in general, one of my favorites)
Or he could just pull a transition like a PowerPoint from one scene to another could also have his voiceover in the next scene and all of a sudden a hand reaches down and pulls a character into the last scene he was in.
Poor animators
It hasn't been officially announced yet 🤣
thats basically time travel
Haha honestly if Luffy doesn’t break the 4th wall at some point. That’s a missed opportunity.
To find Zoro?
Piratefolk would explode
gear 6 : https://preview.redd.it/c867qipy9a8d1.png?width=1484&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a6f60651e40e81fbf2313edf4c28e295a277212

LegaLunk as it's filled with nothing but air 💀
Gears 2 and 5 are up there for me. I can't decide between the two on which one is better
Its the way they where introduced that really put a core memory in us.
Truly. The sheer dominance against Blueno and the very embodiment of the idea of freedom, which is one of the central themes of One Piece.
And CP9 dominated more than Kaido, at least for us in the audience.
Luffy was the One Piece all along.
Or One Piece is the friends we made along the way 😁.
Oda has confirmed that the one piece is not the friends we made along the way
That's putting some serious shade on gear 4th it doesn't deserve. It may look goofy, But Luffy saying to Doffy "You won't be able to do a thing agaisnt me now" then blitzing him and knocking him halfway across the city was freaking epic.
There's not going to be a 6th and I wouldn't want it. 5 is his awoken power. My personal favorite is 2 tho.
what if the one piece is actually the 6th gear
i like the motherflame is the main fuel of the old joyboy theory,so at the very least that's gear 5.5
Gear 6 is when he doesn't laugh at other people's death of suffering.
Just you wait for when the whole crew gets the Nika Power and stands around Luffy to make him gain Gear 6: Sun-God Nika Sun-God
Gear 6? I was gear green
A true piratefolker
Naw it was gear death
Gear less
gear universe
Nothing can top gear second introduction for me, it was just so good Edit: guys why are you replying so much also who's luffy, I was talking about the top gear show
When Luffy used G4 against Doffy I thought it was one of his troll tactics that he sometimes comes up with, but nah, that shit rocked Doffy's world.
Troll tactics was just G5 foreshadowing
Yeah for me G4 introduction was brilliant and is my favourite gear, I must have watched that kong gun hit Doffy about 50 times! I really like how clever G4 is combining the rubber and haki properties. In reality I'm still not quite on board with G5 because I enjoyed the fact he used to keep within the limits of his rubber power (I know I'm in the minority here)
Same as me when he first got gear 2 and 5 the reincarnation I was really surprised 😱
Oda tried with next ones but nothing can beat the Blueno fight
Almost 20 years later this is still my favourite fighting moment in OP.
i would want gear 6 just for the car jokes
Gear 5 is his peak now he only needs to master haki and gear 5 to be be top one unless Bonney gets nika power then he will need to get a gear 6
Definitely his problem now is to master all the haki if he is able to do so then he is going to b unstoppable
He already has mastered all types of advanced haki, you people have no idea what you're talking about.
wdym bonney gets nika power-?
I wouldn’t think about this. Not at all what you’re probably thinking.
Gear 6 maybe if he eats the mother flame
maybe just gear 5: flame man
Gear 6: natsu dragneel
Nah I reckon oda should leave it at 5 gears
https://preview.redd.it/ty3g9hjzpa8d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccbf0b25b5e3420de5f11cf668b3ea9bcc87fd38
My favorite one is gear 4 snakeman
still the best gear look
Facts I wish we got to see more snakeman
https://preview.redd.it/4g4flugwaa8d1.png?width=225&format=png&auto=webp&s=93a88b52dab94f537eefa918ddec79c1d2e93e95
Gear death
G4: Snake Man is one of the most hype transformations in the whole show imo, but it’s also really hard to beat the animation quality and build up on G5, and G2 is one of the most iconic transformations in anime history
I'm still waiting for reverse gear
Gomu Gomu no... Bâka!
Gear 6: https://i.redd.it/y3hd0cryea8d1.gif
Gear 5th is the best for me, followed closely by gear 2 and Tankman.
Tankman in top
Now he just needs reverse gear and he’s all set
Gomu Gomu no... Bâka!
2
Gear 6 doesnt make any sense. "This is my peak, i can do whatever i want" Another Form like Snakeman, Tankman etc. maybe, but not another Gear. But Gear 2, that shit rocks
Gear second is iconic. The speed and power boost that blindsided blueno, the cost of using it, you could tell it was killing luffy, the iconic pose, the steam, the red body. When he evolved it after the timeskip without the need to pump his legs, it was amazing.
You sure are proud of your body, but it doesn't compare to mine!
Maybe gear 5 gets a second form, but I doubt there will be gear 6. What would it even be? He transforms into a second sun?
He being the SUN GOD NIKA am sure he has alot under his sleeves example using the thunder during the fight against Kaido
probably, it's a Zoan after all, I really don't this form is the fully transformed form, that's probably the híbrido form since he still looks a lot like himself, like most zoando do on the hibrid form
Why does he get neck tats in gear 4 tho
It’s his Haki coating, just looks a bit fancier
Gear 6 will be Gear Death.
Lol 🤣
2 was the most epic one before 5.
Number 2 will always be iconic for me
Gear second is always goated. It was the only gear that ended the fight the second it was introduced. All the other gears luffy did some cool stuff but still struggled to win the fight.
Second still my favorite by far. And then Fourth.
Think gear 2 and 3 are the best because luffy uses creative ways to pack bigger punches. 4 and 5 just kind of happen. Also no, don't want a gear 6th. 5 is a perfect number to end the gears
4 and 5 don't just "kind of happen". 4 is literally the same as 2 and 3, just a creative way to combine his powers to become stronger. 5, meanwhile, is literally the absolute freedom of being able to do whatever he wants with the creativity that led him to develop the other 4.
Gear 5 did indeed just “kind of happen.” He didn’t come up with it or train it like the other gears. He gets knocked out and wakes up with it, not even knowing what is happening either.
Definitely agree with you on g4
No gear 6
Luffy said he is at peak in 5th gear
Waiting for reverse gear
thinking now, does Luffy having ever call gear 5? like in 2, 3 and 4 he announces but in 5 he just transforms
6th gear!!! r u kidding me???
Snakeman looks the coolest imo
Years after it was introduced, we find out that Gear 3 gave Lucci ptsd.
My only problem is that this attack for gear 4 is from snake man
I want Gear Green, Luffy’s saving it for Shanks
Against blackbeard he'll go gear zero because of the Yami Yami no mi and kaido's words will come true, that only haki can conquer the world
*Gear 1
Gear 1 would be just him with the gomu gomu no mi, zero is without it
Oh yeah truei forgor
![gif](giphy|d6nvFKK6Dr9YbBDeNQ) Master Piece
i think luffy will eat motherflame and master gear 5
He already awakened his fruit. Gear 6 makes no sense
Whoever made this is an artist. Also you can’t really get a more unique power after ALTERING the world so maybe just keep it at 5 All of the gears are super in their own way, just not a fan of Gear 2 because it shaves my life away from
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gear 4 snakeman is just him
My top 3 favorite gears are 5>4(snake man)>2
No more gears. I think the fourth Gear is the best. It has tankman for defence ( Oda should have utilised it. He literally threw in the trash such a good move). Bounceman for offence. And Snakeman for movement, speed
what about... gear DEATH...
I don't like 5. I guess it's just me, but it's like hes posessed and not Luffy anymore.
Gear 2 is the only good one
Don't think anyone wants gear 6, but if it is anything like what the top comment said, then I wouldn't mind
Nah... Stop that
Tje standard for cats is 5 gears and gear 5 is tje awakening so I don't think we will get more, however newer cars often have 6 gears so it's possible.
I like 2nd because it goes against what you’d expect. 3rd, 4th and 5th are more stretching, expanding and other things you’d expect a Rubber Man to do. 2nd is a clever trick that goes against the grain, and being a big brain move from little brain Luffy makes it all the better.
Before we got gear 5 I kinda thought the next gear would involve him using his powers to pump ryuo around
Gesr 5 is just peak oda writing tbh.its perfect seeing it move away from the wierd edgy gear 4 into the goofy, very luffy gear 5
I think we’ll get gear six in the final fight
Is 3 not something he could do normally?
All of them are exquisite and we are absolutely not getting a 6th.
Hot take, I’ll be happy with whatever Oda writes, because I’ve been a fan for more than half my life and I’m 30. If Oda gives us a gear 6, I’m all for it!
Gear 5 is literally an "I can do anything" power. How the fuck would you power up from that?
I was a Reverse gear and Gear 6.
Next gear is Reverse.
nah no need for a 6th one, next upgrade needs to be voice of all things 🔥 edit: to clarify, mastering* voice of all things, iirc that lil boy alr got it
I see no point in Gear 6rh. He is free in Gear 5 so I don't know what Gear 6th could do that Gear 5 mastered could not.
It saddens me that Snakeman is forgotten. Anyway, no. We don't need more forms Let Luffy get creative and experiment with Gear 5 like he did with 4 and leave it at that. We don't want this to turn into Dragon Ball where Luffy gets a new form each time.

I have a feeling “gear 6” will be an upgraded gear five. But gear 2 is the most creative and personally the best.
I could imagine Gear 6 being a mix between 4 and 5 almost... imbuing more Haki, namely armament, into his body and contorting it erratically due to his wackiness in 5th.
Gear 2 lore is great, Luffy pumping his bloodstream with his rubber Devil Fruit to speed up his body/reactions is really cool, and steaming as he moves to show the increased heat from that pumped blood works great.

Gear 2.. you will always be my favorite.

12 gears as a minimum
For me gear 4 Snakeman is the best form
I don't think we will ever get any new gear as luffy said it is his peak. Also I don't really see what would be above turning into a fucking god. However, I wouldn't mind a new Gear 5 form, a "Gear 5.5" or "Gear 5 bis" of some sort. Just like how Snakeman was still Gear 4, but was a different form from the one we saw before.

gear 6 would be a comfortable or full version of sun god nika like how when goku first unlocked his ui it was nit complete
G4 for me, bc he look \*really\* intimidating also, the multiples forms topped with snakeman. G2 was top too, and a top escene, but now it feels so basic. G5 is great but Oda make the last stage more simple wich its common in mangas (Madara, freezer, Buu, fairy tail...), so for me, even if it looks great, i feel it lost 'something', and its even more noticeable now we reach the final arcs and we can see some really dope powerhouses. About G6, the moment luffy said he feels at his peak, i discarded it. Maybe G5 forms, like he did in G4
I liked 4
5

Gear 6 = He becomes Gumgumpool and he can break the forth wall
We have all the gears. Now we need the rear
g5 already makes you root for the bad guy because how overpowered that shit is, even Oda gave that thing the "stamina handicap" so *the bad guy* has a change against Luffy.... so no idea why there will be any need to even think about g6...
There is beauty in simplicity and Gear 2 wins for me.
I love Gear Second as its the Kaioken of One Piece
The gears are far more then just blatant powerboosts, luffy actually changes his style. Its not ssj where the number is just more raw stats.
Gear 6: Sunlight Yellow Overdrive! ![gif](giphy|Id6pn9N6DEgphsE1kF|downsized) >!^(Nika Nika) THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!!<
I love 5. He's so cute
I don't think exquisite is the word I would use to describe any of them
Gear 5 was the worst transformation I ve ever seen and the best would be probably gear 2
Gear 6 would be the reverse gear no?

Five is enough - it’s a mixture of the previous three types and seems to be their culmination.
Gear R, for when luffy takes a rumble ball
Genuinely jaw dropping was gear two vs Bruno and, well, gear five.
I feel like gear 5 is so broad and kinda messes up with any sense of scaling, so gear 6 should be like where he uses haki and all his previous abilities to ground hemself with actual calculatble strentgh. Stronger then gear 5 but still just more grounded
Gear 4: Sneak Man The best one so far
I like gear 2 fighting style the most, nothing too crazy, just speed
Thre is only 4 gears
Gear 2 is the coolest imo. Gear 5 is a close second. I always laugh when I watch G5
Bro like wtf are gears what on earth is the point of these gears. Why does each one look the way it is
I would love to see a gear 6 in which he is like planetary so people can stop making fun of one piece being the weakest of the big three.
Why is gear 4 bounce man? That just looks wrong lol Nah we don't need a sixth.
I like everything except for Gear 4. He just looks stupid and somehow chonky in a bad way. Why only Torso? Weird. Make it proportional
I haven't seen anyone talk about this but what about a reverse (R) gear ? Most cars have 5 forward gears and a reverse gear
I would like gear 6 to be an attack like gear 3. Like flex that sun god title, give him a sun punch or something
Gear 6: intelligence
This is actually kinda rough. I know it's not 3, while it's cool it didn't have the same impact as the others. 2 has probably my favourite introduction of the bunch in the Bruno fight. 4 is coo mechanicallyl n all but it doesn't look visually appealing to me. I really didn't like 5 but it's grown on me quite a bit. I'd say 5 for the way it integrates into the story probably but 2 is not far behind
If Luffy got Gear 6th he'd be breaking the 4th wall and literally erasing Imu with an big pencil. Imagine if this is how Imu is defeated: ![gif](giphy|ckTEmM6DDogYknpvEs|downsized)
3 before 2Y3D cause he gets smol after use and I find it funny
something about the pose and the straightforward simplicity of gear 2 always felt cool to me
I personally have gear 5 as my favorite for a number of reasons, the crazy and entertaining fights, the lore importance, the fact that Luffy now embodies two things he's known for since the beginning, silliness and freedom, all those reasons have me select gear 5 as not only my favorite gear, but probably my favorite transformation, at least in recent memory. I kinda hope there isn't a gear 6 simply because 5 is a better number to end on than 6, especially with G-E-A-R-5 having 5 letters / numbers.
I like gear 2 and 5 the most so far with Snakeman as solid 3rd place. I think there is still a possibility for a gear 6, since his powers are only limited by his imagination. That sounds for me like he could basicly do anything, even using other elements etc (i.e Red hawk)
