[Imperial Bishop]

Almost the time for the spoilers to come out, which means I'll be ghost for now until tomorrow.

I'm too hyped to sleep.

EDIT... but real gear 4 is pretty insane looking, omg

 

[pelicansurf]

Fuuuuuuuuck. I'm not clicking that box. I'm out.

Good lord this panel is so freaking wicked

 

[jbug617]

I had to look. Holy shit.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Fuck this I'm out

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Some more pics out , man it just look so fucking good when he does moves.

 

[Vecks]

Curious to see what kind of explanation (if any) they can come up for this.

 

[Welfare]

Fuck I need all the pages.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I had to look. Holy shit.

Yeah, as someone said on reddit, it looks like

Spoiler

Luffy holds compressed air in his chest, then contracts his chest to shoot the air into his limb, helping it propel itself faster. A true combo of Gear 2nd and 3rd. And he ends up looking like Nightmare Luffy

Vecks: See spoilers

 

[pelicansurf]

Haven't looked, but I'm hyped

 

[Nocebo]

So gear 4 looks like

Spoiler

A combination of gear 2 and 3 and haki after all? The haki allows him to control the way his limbs move mid flight?

Move names:

Spoiler

猿王銃: King Kong gun and 大蛇砲: Serpent cannon but the katakana is written like calvary something? the rest is cut off

It actually seems like it is more based of off the spring guys devilfruit ability

 

[Frozenprince]

Aaaaaaaaaaagh you guys suck I don't wanna look!

 

[Jpop]

Aaaaaaaaaaagh you guys suck I don't wanna look!

The chapter will probably be out ina few hours anyways.

 

[smurfx]

Aaaaaaaaaaagh you guys suck I don't wanna look!

gear 4 didn't work and luffy exploded and died. the strawhats pledged loyalty to law and it will now be law's story. pretty hype!

 

[B-Dex]

That's pretty good, honestly. (As long as it is erry episode to date)

It is only the first 46 volumes. 23 each box. I'm assuming box 3 is coming soon. Non omnibus though.

 

[Welfare]

The chapter will probably be out ina few hours anyways.

Naruto Gaiden is out too, and that'll probably get top priority in translating. One Piece will most likely be later than usual.

 

[jbug617]

how many more chapters do you think the fight goes on?

 

[smurfx]

how many more chapters do you think the fight goes on?

well when heroes get new power ups they usually beat up the bad guy for a couple of chapters and then the bad guy reveals his final power up. i'm guessing the next chapter will end with doflamingo starting up his final move.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

yep i expect this fight to have at least 2 more chapters .

 

[Jpop]

Naruto Gaiden will probably be out later than OP.

 

[smurfx]

wonder what the finisher is for gear 4th. since this arc has some similarities with alabasta then maybe luffy ends up punching doflamingo into the birdcage and destroys it along with doflamingo.

 

[MCD]

Good lord this panel is so freaking wicked

It's so amazing I have it set up as the Photos tile on my Lumia:

 

[Solid Samus]

just saw the full raw chapter.

it's

Spoiler

Blueno Beatdown 2.0.

and the explanation for Gear 4 is shockingly simple, and as usual is something few would have guessed outright

It's literally

Spoiler

Gear 3 except he blows air into his muscles. Instead of enhancing his hardness, he enhances his bounce, and uses haki to increase the rubber's tension. It's pretty rad.

 

[B-Dubs]

just saw the full raw chapter.

it's

Spoiler

Blueno Beatdown 2.0.

I NEED THIS IN MY VEINS RIGHT NOW

 

[Nocebo]

I wonder what reason Luffy will give for not using gear 4 up til now. If he gives a reason at all.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Simple no reason to use it , it's not like anybody luffy fight so far was giving him any trouble.

 

[Jpop]

Spoiler

Blueno Beatdown 2.0.

Yup, it definitely is. Can't wait for the translation.

Edit:

Spoiler

Yeah, its pretty great. I like the directional control he has over his stretched out parts now, as well as how he is storing tension and firing his punches off like cannons and accelerating his movement speed. Kinda like spring-dude

 

[Nocebo]

Is it really that simple? How long has he been fighting Doflamingo now? Some people got needlessly hurt from letting the fight drag on like that you know. Unless he was underestimating doflamingo all this time for some reason and thought he didn't have to use it. But there is probably some draw back.

 

[slash3584]

So does Gear 4

Spoiler

Make 2nd and 3rd useless?

 

[Jpop]

So does Gear 4

Spoiler

Spoiler

Probably not. It will definitely have a weakness, like how G3 makes him tiny and G2 shortens his lifespan.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Spoiler

No need for spoiler tags for that .
G3 had not made him tiny in ages and i doubt G2 take off his life anymore since he does not do it full body like he use to .
Still i am sure we will still see him use his other gears .

He's only gone G3 once post time-skip right?

 

[jbug617]

just realized that there is another break next week because of the double issue.

 

[B-Dubs]

He's only gone G3 once post time-skip right?

A few times now, the side effects are gone.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

He's only gone G3 once post time-skip right?

Nope he did it many times , in this arc alone he use G3 a good amount of times.
He did it vs Chinjao, Pica and even Don .
We have not seen the side effect since the time skip if remember right .
