Summary
Gear 5 is Luffy’s ultimate transformation inOne Piecewhich he recently unlocked in Wano during his fight against Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. After being struck into a near-death state by the Yonko,Luffy ended up Awakening his Devil Fruit. This Awakening granted him a unique transformation that he calls Gear 5.

Gear 5 is believed to be the peak of Luffy’s abilities and it offers him a more rubbery body, and increased strength, along with a major boost to all his attributes. The biggest strength of Gear 5 is that he can do anything that he can imagine and that opens up room for countless powerful attacks, some of which fans have already seen in the story.
10Gomu Gomu no Nawatobi
Gomu Gomu no Nawatobi isone of the most ridiculous techniquesthat Luffy has ever pulled off in Gear 5. This technique sees Luffy grab Kaido and use him like a skipping rope.
It doesn’t particularly do anything other than cause the head of the opponent to spin and Kaido easily broke out of it. However, when it comes to goofy techniques, this is up there with one of the very best that the fans have seen so far.
9Gomu Gomu no Okaeshi
Gomu Gomu no Okaeshi is a powerful technique that Luffy uses often in his fights. This technique sees him grab the earth under him and spread the rubber properties that he possesses to them.
He can then use that to reflect any attack that is coming towards him or throw it directly at the enemy. Quite easily, it is one of the most useful applications of Gear 5.
8Gomu Gomu no Fusen
Gomu Gomu no Fusen is not a technique that isn’t new to any fan. Luffy has been using this since the very beginning of the series, however, with Gear 5, this attack gets stronger than ever before.
Luffy can create a much bigger balloon than he ever could and since Gear 5 improves his overall toughness and physical abilities, he can reflect even some of the strongest attacks in the entire series. Furthermore, he can also spread these properties to other people and turn them into balloons, just as he did with Kaido.
7Gomu Gomu no Dasshutsu Rocket
Gomu Gomu no Dasshutsu Rocket, also known as Escape Rocket, is a situational attack that Luffy used in his fight against Kaido.
When he was swallowed whole by the Yonko, Luffy roamed around his body and then eventually forced his hands through his eyes, grabbing the end of his nose. He then used this as leverage to escape from his body using this technique.
6Gomu Gomu no Dawn Whip
Gomu Gomu no Dawn Whip is an exceptionally powerful technique that Luffy used for the first time in his fight against Rob Lucci. This technique sees him spin his legs around his body at a very fast rate and then pull off a regular Whip that he uses otherwise.

The additional power of Gear 5makes this attack even stronger than ever before. This technique made Rob Lucci cough up blood and it dealt a lot of damage to him despite him using his Awakened powers.
5Gomu Gomu no Mogura Pistol
Gomu Gomu no Mogura Pistol Is a technique that Luffy might have taken inspiration for from Katakuri. This technique sees him punch into the ground and then spread his rubber abilities to his surroundings.
He then makes use of the ground as a means to launch a punch from a completely unexpected direction, that hits his enemies directly in the gut.
4Gomu Gomu no Dawn Rocket
Gomu Gomu no Dawn Rocket is quite easily one of the strongest attacks that Luffy has displayed in Gear 5. This technique sees him spread his rubber abilities to his surroundings and then use this to launch himself at a blazing speed.
He then pulls out a powerful punch directly into the gut of his enemy, which does tremendous damage. He used this technique against Lucci and it proved to be strong enough to almost make him lose consciousness.
3Gomu Gomu no Gigant
Gomu Gomu no Gigant is one of the scariest abilitiesthat Luffy has used in Gear 5. This ability sees him transform his body into that of a giant.
Luffy becomes so big that he completely dwarfs even Kaido in size. In fact, he can grab him from head to tail like a snake and use him as a skipping rope if he so wishes. This technique improves his overall offensive capabilities by quite a margin, however, it also makes him a bigger target.
2Gomu Gomu no Kaminari
Gomu Gomu no Kaminari is an exceptional ability that Luffy used in his fight against Kaido. This technique sees Luffy go into the clouds and grab lightning itself and use this thunderbolt as a projectile.
He launched this powerful technique towards Kaido and although it did not hit, it is surely one of his strongest techniques. If this technique makes a connection, it will shortly be one of his most deadly abilities.
1Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun
Undoubtedly, Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gunis the strongest Gear 5 attackthat fans have seen in the story so far. This attack was launched by Luffy in the fight against Kaido to finish things off. Luffy makes his fist as big as an entire island and then uses the power of compression that he uses in Gear 4 to pull his fist back.
Luffy also coats his fist in both the Color of Arms and the Color of the Supreme King. Furthermore, this attack also ignites itself on fire once launched. The power of this technique was such that it easily overpowered Kaido’s Kaen Daiko and broke one of his horns, knocked him out, as well as sent him crashing into the underground volcano in Wano.
