I can't see gear 4 being something a simple as full body haki. Since we've seen other characters do that without using a devil fruit ability. Is possibly the most realistic and plausible theory I've seen. Takes my full body hawk idea and actually makes some sense out of instead of just being cool flaming attacks, using the fire to vulcanize his rubber body strengthening it.greatly. Not sure I agree with the idea of Luffy using a rokugan like attack but the actual vulcanization theory sounds pretty solid to me. | ||

The rest of the crew could use some 'power up' in terms of bounties though. Usopp is probably the most underrated from the people at the island atm. Even though Luffy would be doing the government a favor by taking out Doflamingo, what do you think his bounty will jump to after taking him out? He was a former world noble, shichibukai and also the most prominent underground broker. I'm thinking 500 - 600 million. Like this event will put the SH crew on the map. They'll be up there with other crews of living legends in terms of threat level. Because if they can take out Doffy then who's next? (We know who's next but the government will be sweating buckets.) I could be forgetting someone important though. | ||

At 400 million and the man who attacked navy hq twice, i think he's already pretty on the map | ||

Perhaps there is an issue we don't know about, since Luffy and Law plan to bring down the strongest person in the world. My suspicion is that Kaido is getting weaker for some reason, and is compensating for that by getting artificial fruits. | ||

Law could jsut have a plan that gives them enough advantages that it evens out the difference in strength if they turn it into a 2v1 (or maybe more) then it doesnt matter that hes stronger then either of them individually or his strength could be rooted in something Law can negate, law can directly attack organs so if Kaidous strength is rooted in an unbreakable defense then law can bypass it and get an advantage that way | ||

(Vote): He will escape the island Mindless drivel+ Show Spoiler + I am posting in here to share my thoughts with myself about some of the talks that have been going on lately. It is in spoilers because I do not intend to discuss this with anyone it is merely for me to look back on and see if my predictions were right. If you want to discuss this with me feel free but don't be alarmed if I don't reply. Doflamingo - Younku level Possible? Yes. Probable? Not based on any precedent that Oda has laid out in One Piece. The poster who declared this theory has actually missed some good (best?) evidence that supports his case. But even with that evidence I still see no way someone can declare an non-Yonko as Yonko. 1) We know that there is a strong precedent that the strongest person in each crew is the captain (is there any counter evidence?), 2) We know that the reason why any crew is reported to be strong is because their captain is that strong. Based on this two premises I see no reason to declare that Kaido is not one of the strongest person/creature/whatever in the One Piece world. I also see no reason to put Doflamingo above any admiral (he has clashed with two ish). If he was stronger than Kuzan he would have killed him as he would have a strong motive. If he was not stronger than Kuzan he would have left Smoker alive. Of course new evidence could come that could strengthen or confirm the theory that Doflamingo > Kaido but until that time comes I think it is foolish to say it. PS: When the strawhats are fighting Moriah, Moriah's minions mention how he could not be defeated by Luffy and co because he almost defeated Kaido. If you think that Luffy > Moriah (pre-TS) and Kaido > Moriah (barely) and Luffy (gear 4) > Doflamingo (prediction time) then I could see that you could think Doflamingo > Kaido. But there are too many unknowns here but I think this is better evidence than anything the Doflamingo Younku level poster said (imo). Flying - Definition (manga related) - to be able to jump or move in a different direction in the air without touching something solid that directly or indirectly touches the ground. Thus spiderman and tarzan - not flying. Doflamingo/Sanji - flying Luffy - no. I know in the anime it shows him 'flying' as an above poster shows. But I believe (personal opinion ) that it was implemented for comedic/character effect not because of his ability. Did Luffy do this in the manga?? I looked it up and it appears that he did.Can Luffy defeat DF without G4? Possibly. We will never know but I highly doubt that he can within the time limit. His gear 2 doesn't pack a hard punch and DF can dodge his gear 3. It is true that Luffy finds ways to win and he could do it by being sneaky, etc. I just think he is going for the more efficient way (g4). How many chapters will the DF vs. Luffy fight last for? 2-3. Depends on how many times it cuts to the island or flashbacks. DF flashback of his gov't secret, more Law flashbacks, Sabo vs. Cp0?? or Sabo vs. Burgess?? The town getting literally shredded by the birdcage, etc etc Doflamingo crazy? Yes!! Did his crew make him more cruel/dillusional? yes. But he already had a great head start based on his elitist/entitled/egotistical/sadistic character traits (note I think this was more his nature than nurture as Corozan and his Dad were not like this). There you go.  Did I miss any (unimportant) topics in the 2 week break. Just for the record I can see how other forum users could think that I am coming and posting the 'truth' because I am the smart one here, etc etc. But that is far from the truth I am mainly posting it here to see if I am right in the future and then I can laugh at you (or most likely myself) . If you have new evidence or want to debate me in a friendly way on any of these issues I would be happy to. But I don't enjoy tying myself up in useless arguments on this forum. But I am all for learning and seeing if my own ideas are based on reason or just bias. I hope you enjoyed my post! XdI think G4 will be a combination of G2/G3 (aka Luffy will be faster and stronger but it has to do with his muscles. There also has to be a major weakness (losses muscle control/spasms). I think DF will get turned into a toy (very unlikely but I am going with it ) | ||

I'm going to guess something along the lines - compressed air, that is, gear 3 but compressed so his body size stays same. The compressed air will have explosive power and explosive speed and if luffy is able to use the air to control the way his body stretches (as in, his arms dont expand in diameter, but only in length) his arms will have tremendous striking force. The strain on his body would be enormous though, with the air pushing aside his flesh, internal organs and blood vessels. That's one reason he might be blowing air into his wrist - blowing air into a small hole in his thumb might not be sufficient | ||
