This is short theory and an original idea on what I think Luffy's gear 4 will be. Keep in mind I've heard it all when its comes down to G4. My theory is strictly DF base and doesn't involve haki to make this a reality. And also I'll tell you why he needs it.
Most common G4 theory: Luffy will combine G2+G3 an wreck shit. All that is fine but that technique would be stressful to Luffy's body also he would be faster but he would still be a Big target because of the large arms attached to him and it would look extremely dumb in my opinion.

Gear 2nd-Very fast-Very weak
Gear 3rd-Very slow-Extremely powerful
In the NW Luffy can't use these same attacks all fight long because they have drawbacks like I mentioned. So he'll have to strike the perfect balance where he can use G2+ G3 combos without being a big target
Rubber Compression and Decompression and Expansion
Hybrid Luffy
If we look at G3 its basically expansion. My idea is the opposite. In my idea Luffy will be able to compress the air in his G3 arm into his normal arm and make his power compressed making him almost like Garp where he doesn't need to stretch as much to be effective. In this form he could also use G2nd. So imagine Luffy using the speed of G2 and the power of G3 in his normal hands or slightly bigger. The way I see him looking is like nightmare Luffy but more leaner of cause and not blue.

Expansion on impact
When Luffy is in his hybrid compressed form. He can expand on impact and use all of his G2 and G3 techiques together in combos

Scenario 1 combo-Luffy throws a jet pistol vs Doffy. Doffy is about to dodge but because Luffy's power is compressed he expands his normal hand into G3 increasing his accuracy by 100% and messing with Doffy's observation timing because of the unpredictabilty
Scenario 2 combo-Luffy power is compressed so he throws a Red Hawk at Doffy. Doffy is about to dodge at the very last second and Luffy hands expand into a Giganto Red Hawk. The expansion would allow for the momentum of G2 to continue whiles he is in his G3 fist
Scenario 3 vs Swordsman-Luffy doesn't stretch at all because he has no need to. He just fights close range using the speed of G2 and the power of G3 in his normal hand.Or if he throws stretches his arm like he did vs Mihawk and Mihawk goes to sidestep and cut it off he can expand it to make a swordman change up there gameplan
Base mode Luffy upgrade
Also if this idea were to be true I would like to see Base Luffy decompress his body so he can use snake like density to increase his base speed and unpredictabilty. He won't be able to throw puches in snake mode but he'll use piecing attacks like Snake shot. The attacks would be fast because his limbs and body will be extremely light like "one with the wind"..and at the tip of his dense limb he'll have haki on it
Gear 2nd upgrade
G2 upgrade isn't relevant to this theory but I still decided to put it. Instead of pumping blood from 2 limbs he can pump blood from all 4 corners of his body. And if he extended all his limbs back and use G2 on each limb he could set all his limbs on fire for atleast 2 minutes on land and of course he has to protect his limbs with haki.
Sidenote:All these ideas are simply based around "energy conservation" since top tiers can fight for a long time. If Luffy can do G2+G3 the normal way I'm sure it won't be for long like 2 minutes max because of the stress. If you like the idea add to it or leave feed back
Also I would like to hear what you guys would like G4 to be because Luffy will need a DF power up sooner or later haki ain't gonna cut it alone in closing the gap between him an the top tiers in a short period of time.
