i was always under the impression that devil fruits taste like the most disgusting thing your mind can comprehend... something like corpse-puss for example edit: but luffy just didn't even notice... cuz well he's luffy
I still do the gear 2nd pose after a warm shower sometimes Also a cool detail, when Luffy talks about friends he cannot afford to lose, Usopp is shown facing the other way because of their duel and Robin facing down
Re: acquiring Devil Fruit powers, remember that we saw what happened to Luffy when he first ate his fruit WAAAAAAAAY back in episode, I'm going to say 4, and it was consistent with the live action as well: Bro ate a bad tasting fruit, and didn't notice any difference until Shanks grabbed him and his body stretched as a result of the force put on him. Literally had no idea he had changed. There's a manga adaptation of a novelization of Ace's early adventures that depicts the moment he ate his devil fruit as well, and here we have Kaku and Kalifa both eat their fruits and exhibit no particular reaction except to how disgusting the fruit tastes. The change after eating a devil fruit is instantaneous and unconscious, to the point that if you didn't know what it was and its power didn't have a clear effect, you could live the rest of your life without discovering you had powers. That being said, it's extremely unlikely for a devil fruit power to be unnoticeable forever...
The color they added is an anime only addition to the scene, there isn't really anything in the manga that implies that there is any connection between that scene and 2nd gear.
Katy: *Sees one of the biggest creatures we've seen at this point in One Piece* "He's just a little guy!" Nah frl Franky's king bulls are precious. We love Sodom and Gomorrah in this house.
The gear are power up techniques that comes from Luffy's slowly mastering the powers of his devil fruit. Like Crocodile told him back in Alabasta, that devil fruit power alone can't carry one to victory. The power must be mastered.
I tihnk you slightly misunderstand why Luffy suddenly could keep up with Blueno. Its not that he got physically stronger. And as he said, he worked on the Gear 2 technique since the Aokiji situation. Instead pre-Gear2 Luffy was already stronger in this fight because his mentality has improved. He was down, had a lingering doubt that Robin may in fact betrayed them, overwhelmed with the espionage and the Usopp situation. Essentially his will was wavering temporarily due to the emotional impact. And after having recovered and found it back, he is instantly stronger. Which is one of the big themes in One Piece. Your will to follow your principles and dreams.
Once someone eats a devil fruit they know what it is and what it does on a basic level. It’s like each DF has a certain level of programming inside it so the eater always has at least a basic understanding of how to use it.
"i think I'm in love with paulie" girl. The way how I wish he would get on the strawhats boat every time i watch this arc. Every time i think 'maybe this time he'll join them' 😌💜
He contracts his lower level blood and then suddenly expand it throughout his body. He is a rubber man he can do this. So what ability he gains you watch it in next episode. Thats Gear2nd for u.

edit:
but luffy just didn't even notice...
cuz well he's luffy
Why does she keep saying usopp? It was sogeking that got the giants on board we haven't seen usopp for a hot minute
yeah Usopp didn't go to Enies lobby
Enough of that
Yup, thats enough of calling Sogeking as Usopp indeed!
😂@@TechInspected
What an absolutely legendary moment, transformation & fight!
i love the sobbing at sodom and gomorrah into the instant oonga boonga mode when sanji and zoro show off 🤣🤣
i’m just a girl!!!
I still do the gear 2nd pose after a warm shower sometimes
Also a cool detail, when Luffy talks about friends he cannot afford to lose, Usopp is shown facing the other way because of their duel and Robin facing down
Finally! Gear Second! Also you see how this man was ready to gear up again before old boy finally went down😂

Luffy tested out Gear Second briefly at the Franky House fight but he didn't have full control of it yet. The Gears are wild. 😁
The color they added is an anime only addition to the scene, there isn't really anything in the manga that implies that there is any connection between that scene and 2nd gear.
"this is intense" *me whose seen this arc a bunch of times* I still find myself acting like I never seen it before. Then I have to calm myself down.
Katy: *Sees one of the biggest creatures we've seen at this point in One Piece*
"He's just a little guy!"
Nah frl Franky's king bulls are precious. We love Sodom and Gomorrah in this house.
"HE'S JUST SLEEPING" this is how i cope with most things
me randomly coming across another reactor and my favorite line "oooh it peels like a bananer"
LOOOL

Cant wait to watch your reaction to the next episode!

Luffy realized this was only mini boss and cheesed them with 1 move.
cheesed them lmfao
*coughs* Goku V Nappa *coughs*
Turned himself RED-ish , Made him FASTER and STRONGER .. but put a Strain on his Body
Just like Kaioken and Rock Lee's 8th Gate Technique

the most iconic pose
Second Gear is more like Kaioken than Super Saiyan, actually. but you have the right mindset.
"i think I'm in love with paulie" girl. The way how I wish he would get on the strawhats boat every time i watch this arc. Every time i think 'maybe this time he'll join them' 😌💜
And still more peak to come this arc
Power up time!
22:49 my fav arc oat
Ah yes, the time Usopp commanded a troop of 1000 men. One of many lies that became true.
Usopp? Where? All I see is Sogeking, an entirely different person.
Gear 2nd hype!
Watching this series is just watching Katy simp for Sanji and Zoro. Mostly for Zoro. 😂❤
How Second Gear works isn't very intuitive, or at least, it wasn't for me, but it will make sense once it's explained.
Right after Gear 2 and Oda teased us with Gear 3.
Side effects: reduce the life span
It's much more akin to Luffy's version of Kaiou Ken.
Luffy accidently doing gear 2nd in OP movie, but its not canon.
YESSIRR!!
Playing at 1.25x speed is better than
Gear 2 😎😎😎
wuhu gear is here
❤
Unlike Dragon Ball, in One Piece there will be an explanation about the improvement of the protagonist's abilities.
Ok
Yo
He contracts his lower level blood and then suddenly expand it throughout his body. He is a rubber man he can do this. So what ability he gains you watch it in next episode. Thats Gear2nd for u.
