Isn't it kinda sad that Luffy can only use Soru while in Gear Second?

You think he could do it without shifting Gears by now

He isn't kicking the ground 10 times like Soru, he just got the idea of G2 from Soru
He said he got the hang of it and glad that there's a way to move like that which implies that he follows that method. Ergo Soru

It's the same case as Sky Walk and Geppo. They are "different" by claims of the user, but the methods of completing the action and the purpose of the action itself are the same

Actually he is kicking the ground 10 times. Luffy himself told Blueno that he jacked it from him after seeing the CP9 kick the ground 10 times.

Also, Luffy already had used it without G2 back in PH.

Lel no. I don't remember what chapter it was but it happened during Luffy vs Blueno. Luffy said that he took the technique after seeing them kick the ground 10 times.
No, I meant a scan about Luffy using Soru without Gear 2 in Punk Hazard. I already had a scan of him talking to Blueno.

Then search for the foĺlowing scenes...
Luffy oneshotting pacifista
Luffy blitzing Caesar's gas explosion

In the anime he used G2 on the pacifista fight but in the manga he only used G2 on his arm to make his punch stronger and faster.

Im on my phone so i csn't provide scans right now.

Not this myth again.

There is no such thing as partial G2. Why haven't we seen it more often then and why is it that the only time he 'used' it according to you we can see him standing from the side.

Partial Gear 2 is a lie.

Also. Rokushiki takes years to master. It would be weird if Luffy suddenly was able to do that.

Coby trained for it and got it, Sanji trained for it and got it. Luffy found a shortcut to do it but only in G2, so it doesn't make sense for base luffy to get it.

When Sanji swapped with Nami we saw that he was able to do it in her body for a short time. So it's not something based on power but it really is a trick or technique you need to master. Of course you need strong legs because Nami couldn't handle it if it would've continued any longer.

Don't let him mislead you, it exists.

It's prob. one of my pet peeves with the anime. (excluding the inconsistent animation & poor pacing)

It's not there !

you can show that scan all you want, but there is no such thing as partial G2.

Just answer me this:

* Why was it only used once if it would be a thing ?
* What are the benefits of only using G2 on one limb instead of your entire body ?
* G2 works by pumping your blood faster, How does Luffy control his blood flow to only accelerate it into his right arm ?

Partial gear two is bullshit, it doesn't exist. It's all in your head because Oda didn't draw enough smoke in one small panel with side perspective over the course of 10 years of gear 2.

This is just like the electricity thing of El Thor. There is no electricity in that attack with the exception of the appliance in strong world.

1-2. Gear 2 works by depleting stored nutrients and does have adverse effects on Luffy's body, as G2 is a doping process. Luffy used it on one arm there because he was strapped for time, and only needed one blow. It'd make no sense for him to apply it to his entire body when he only needed to use it on his arm.

Fair enough. But then I could also say Diable Jambe worked by Sanji spinning and having the friction combust oxygen and produce heat. How does he do it now? How does Sanji spontaneously combust when using Diable Jambe? How does simply getting angry combust his entire body for Hell Memories? What would be the point of using Diable Jambe on just one leg when he can do it on two? Or better yet, what would be the point of doing it on just his legs at all if he can ignite his entire body? Why has Sanji only used Hell Memories once? All you've provided for No Partial Gear 2 applies to Sanji's pyrokicks as well. Does that mean Diable Jambe, DJ on one leg, and HM not exist too, despite manga panels for these identical reasons, just like partial G2?

1.) It wasn't used only once. Ever since the TS, we've seen him apply G2 to his hands/legs instead of his whole body.
2.) If you're only using your arms, there's no need to go full body G2. It just shows that he can control it a lot better plus I'm sure he doesn't have that much of a toll on his health vs. going full body G2.
3.) That's what he achieved during his TS training.

LOL "Oda didn't draw enough smoke", Oda is known for his drawing details. Why would he have smoke coming out of Luffy's entire body pre-TS but after the TS leave it out?

1) Show it, I can't remember any of that.
2) why does he need it for 'show' there are no advantages to one super fast arm and a slow body
3) asspull explanation, so he can control his blood flow now to certain limbs ?

Yes Oda is known for drawing detail's, I'm not blaming Oda for drawing not enough smoke I blame everybody who sees only smoke around the arm and conclude that there is such a thing as partial Gear 2.

Show me clear panels in the manga where Luffy uses partial Gear 2 only on his hands or legs and I will be convinced. And let's say the one you posted doesn't count for the sake of the argument.
