I remember a while back when Luffy first showed Elephant Gun and a lot of us thought that Luffy had Vulcanized his body to make it black Lol.

Vulcanization
So Vulcanization is a process achieved through very high temperatures and high pressure (also some chemical treatment, but we will just forget about that) :sweat: for those who do not know this is the process that is used to make rubber much more durable, harder, and more useful than its raw state. It's how they make the rubber for car tires, soles for shoes, etc.


How and Benefits
Anyway, it is my belief that Luffy will achieve vulcanization through pushing Gear 2nd past its limit. This will result in possible flames, but definitely tremendous heat. Luffy will use this heat to vulcanizatize his body making it tough enough to withstand the heightened Gear 2nd (also giving increased speed), it will make is body harder meaning harder attacks, and the heat from the techniques added with Haki can become explosive :cool:

Down Side

This state, by pushing Gear 2 beyond its limit will be exhausting and seeing how hard rubber doesn't stretch as well Luffy may lose his ability to stretch while in this state :|

Similar to my internal combustion theory, I wouldn't complain if this was Gear 4th, except, everyone will think it's full body Haki if he goes black...

What about gray then? :|

Possible haha

I think Luffy will basically superheat the air of g3 by using the steam of g2, causing explosions inside his body which dramatically increases his attack power, but every single move is painful. g4 needs a huge drawback afterall

So, Gear 3, then Gear 2, compress the air, and then release it as explosions during combat?

Gears deal with his DF. So new usage of his DF has to be the focus. That's y it can't be full body red hawk. it would still just be armed Gear 2

Your theory is quite possible but i,'m pretty sure g4 has to do something with haki.

I don't feel like that Gear 4 will need any draw backs. I still believe that we have yet to see over 60% of any of the Straw Hats yet after their training and Luffy is going to be the first to start to show any of it. I think if anyone has begun to show anything it was Zoro when he defeated Pika, but we all know he's still holding back. I'm also looking forward to Sanji truly giving it his all too.
