A possibility of Luffy's Haoshoku Haki is that he can tame large animals as he was capable of taming all the animals of Rusukaina Island, and tame the Kraken, which he did with great success in a very short time. posted over a year ago He appeared all the way back from East Blue. [2] This willpower even lets him survive far beyond what normal people are capable of, as demonstrated when he was poisoned very far beyond what a human is capable of surviving, only living on despite his critical condition through sheer willpower. His luck is so great that people around him, like Smoker, Ivankov, Elder Nyon, and even his own crew think that they were miracles, or even divine intervention, though in most cases it has to do with his incredible willpower. The same head which was durable enough to take the … He also appears to be intelligent enough to at least understand fundamental concepts, such as rubber being a natural insulator, which might be why he did not bother ducking out of the way of Enel's lightning attacks as it would have been pointless because of his immunity. An example of Luffy's poor drawing skills. A second advantage is his unpredictability. Luffy can use Busoshoku Haki combined with Gear Second to perform "Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk", which causes his fist to ignite into flames. He is also easily distracted when he sees something that's "just too cool", like seeing Chopper's transformations for the first time, the Thousand Sunny's Gaon Cannon, an energy beam from a Pacifista, his wax armor made from Mr.3's Doru Doru no Mi powers, or the Iron Pirate "Franky Shogun", ignoring everything around him. Additionally, Luffy has always fought the strongest villain of the story arc (except in the Romance Dawn Arc). He has shown new mastery over his Gear Second and Gear Third along with his Haki, and easily destroyed a Pacifista with a single punch in conjunction with his Gear Second and Busoshoku Haki (a feat which has been shown to be amazingly difficult). Since then, he showed increased but irregular usage of it, with very little to no control, as the series went on. The Team Power level of these stages varies at approximately: 1400 1750 2250 2700 3250 Because of this, not everyone can complete the event, and it is necessary to employ skillful tactics in order to do so. This inability also extends to Jolly Rogers; the first Jolly Roger of the Straw Hat Pirates was a bad drawing designed by Luffy himself (he later used a similarly bad drawn version of his Jolly Roger as a promise marker on the face of Laboon) while also drawing a bad version of Foxy's flag after taking it from him in the Long Ring Long Land Arc. He also destroyed Enel's "Raigo" using the gold ball as a conductor, but according to Oda he had no real idea what he was doing and was acting out of instinct. Like the person who has the highest bounty in One Piece would supposedly be the Pirate King because there is no greater pirate than him.. And as you all know, the One piece Top Bounties aren't stagnant.One piece most bounty might change and those after it change all the time. While fighting, Luffy has been shown to be highly adept at improvising, and regularly comes up with creative counterattacks and unusual techniques to use against his enemies. Not only can he use his stretchiness to increase the range and strength of his attacks, but on some rare occasions he can also use his stretched limbs to help restrain and even control weaker foes like puppets (to fight for him). Examples are: According to Dracule Mihawk, Luffy has the most dangerous ability in the world: that of turning anyone around him into his ally, including former enemies. In fact, on more than one occasion, Luffy was able to anticipate moves and counter attacks that would normally be beyond his field of vision due to his sharp reflexes. In this form, Luffy gains a considerable boost in speed and strength. Luffy also has the mysterious and uncanny ability to, while completely asleep, eat as if he were awake, and even knows when more food has been placed on the table. After consuming the Gomu Gomu no Mi, Luffy's body became like rubber, giving him the ability to stretch and attack long distances. Before the Straw Hats arrived at Water 7, Luffy drew a childish picture of what he wanted the future shipwright to look like (coincidentally, it resembled Franky). Obviously, only Luffy can do such a thing by using the Gomu Gomu no Mi. Not to mention how much he has contributed to the story. This was later shown with Basil Hawkins' "fortune telling" ability, as despite doing it multiple times, he could never get Luffy's chances of survival to reach 0. Main article: SaiyanAs a Saiyan, Goku possesses a vast array of superhuman physical attributes, which he has trained to God-like levels through years of rigorous training. At the time Shanks visited Luffy's hometown, Luffy had decided he would learn how to swim by the time Shanks left so he could leave with them, indicating Luffy was learning how to swim previously. This usually ends up being an advantage for the crew. Comparing the power difference between Luffy and any Yonko now is like the power difference between Caesar Clown or Bartolomeo to Luffy. Considering Lucci was 4000, Luffy's definitely in the 9000 range now if not more. Rubber Rubber Fruit, Gum-Gum Fruit in the English dub), which is one of the rare and legendary Devil Fruits. Rob Lucci: 4000; Kaku: 2200; Jabra: 2180; Blueno: 820; Kumadori: 810; Fukurou: 800; Kalifa: 630; Common armed Marine soldier: 10; Spandam: 9; References [1] His endurance and durability is incredible; taking continuous, deadly assaults from powerful opponents that would have killed a normal person easily in most of his fights, yet still being able to stand up and continue fighting effectively. There is still a huge gap from Luffy’s current state to becoming PIRATE KING. As of now,after chapter 900,I am comfortable to say that Luffy is on the level of third or maybe even second strongest commander of a Yonko crew-Cracker,Smoothie,Jozu,Vista, Jack,Queen,Doflamingo etc. Yonko Commander Level people will still be a lot of trouble for Luffy but I see them as power level peers now. Used with his already-strong physiology, this apparently gives his arm more mass and a larger area to attack with far greater force, but he sacrifices mobility for this strength, as his limbs are now so large that Luffy has extreme trouble moving unless he is in his Fusen form. Rayleigh departed after a year and a half, leaving Luffy to train by himself for the remaining six months. Another demonstration of Luffy's Busoshoku Haki is during his fight with Hody Jones, where he was able to harden his arm, leg, and forehead for both strong offensive and defensive measures. He also ate the cage that Gekko Moriah put him in, and managed to give Rob Lucci a small bite wound, as well as break the steel chain used to bind Nami (in Franky's body) after the timeskip. His greatest feat in this area, however, was that he managed to make Jinbe, who is known to have an extremely high tolerance towards pain, yell out in pain when he bit the fishman's arm. It's been shown on several occasions that meat may act as more of a power source than simply a favorite food for Luffy, as whenever he becomes exhausted or tired from a fierce battle, he simply eats some meat and he's back in fighting condition again.
