All 18 of Luffy's Forms Explained! (1997-2023)

these are all of Luffy's forms explained and first we got to talk about the rarest form in the entire show Luffy's nightmare form in episode 370 a group of pirates forced a hundred Souls into Luffy's body mutating him into this buffer and deadlier creature his skin was blue he lost his famous smile and some fans even think this is one of his strongest forms cuz with his cursed body Luffy was able to destroy this zombie monster but the nightmare form is his rarest for a reason cuz after just 10 minutes all the Shadows left Luffy's body and returned him to normal making this the only time we've ever seen this version of Luffy but from rare to weird we have to talk about Luffy's next form see in episode 2117 Luffy needed a secret weapon to win a duel against the pirate foxy so Usopp gave him this afro saying it would wake up Luffy's deepest powers and make his punches deadlier now most fans think Usopp was telling the truth because afro Luffy actually won the fight but some of the smarter fans realized there was more to the story since some of the strongest characters like Blackbeard aiji and Brooke also have afos and this created the fan theory that the afro haircut might be a secret way to get stronger now we've got Luffy's strongest form coming later in the video but first we got to talk about the one form that doesn't make any sense water gun Luffy see normally Luffy just throws punches and kicks at his enemies but in his fight against the warlord crocodile Luffy chose an odd strategy filling up his stretchy stomach with an entire barrel of water and then shooting it at crocodile like a water gun now it turns out that Luffy didn't win this fight but since we got this hilarious form I'm not complaining and in episode 578 we got Luffy's most disturbing form cuz during a fight Luffy accidentally swallowed Lily the Glutton a girl with the ability to change her size at will now normally Lily sneaks into her enemy throat so that she can expand inside their body and then blows them up but since Luffy is stretchy he was able to expand with her and that's how his giant form was created in addition to being huge this version of Luffy is also way stronger since he was able to take a rocket to the back of the head with zero damage the weirdest part is that Lily is inside his body which explains the horns on his head since she was wearing a helmet when Luffy accidentally swallowed her now the next form is where things get interesting because it's the first ever power upgrade that Luffy got in the show gear second this form speeds up Luffy's blood flow to make him way faster and boy does it work cuz gear second Luffy is so fast that even skilled Fighters have a hard time seeing him the craziest part is that only Luffy can use it because this form causes a huge spike in blood pressure that would kill a normal human but since Luffy can stretch his body can expand to handle the pressure however gear second does have a deadly downside because if Luffy uses it for too long his energy gets completely drained and he can't move for the next 15 minutes meaning that if he doesn't time this power right he could use it wrong and get paralyzed in a fight now gear second is pretty cool but it's nothing compared to gear third see while fighting a secret agent in episode 304 Luffy realized that gear second wasn't enough to win the fight so he invented gear third which takes advantage of his rubber Bones by biting his thumb and blowing into his Luffy can Pump Air directly into his bones making them much bigger this version of Luffy is so strong that he can destroy a marine battleship in a single hit but this power also comes with a massive problem and it caused the next form on this list see when Gear 3 Luffy wanted to return to his normal size he had to Exhale all the air from his bones but since his body couldn't handle changing size that quick it would shrink too much and he's the size of a Kid the Long longer he spent in gear third form the longer he'd be stuck in the shrunken form I'm calling mini Luffy however this downside slowly disappeared as Luffy got stronger now Luffy's hockey form is next and this is where his power levels start going crazy see between episode 516 and 517 the anime skipped about 2 years and during this time Luffy learned three forms of hockey which is a spiritual energy you can use to enhance your abilities the first hockey technique that Luffy Learned was conqueror hockey which allows him to freeze or knock out weaker enemies with willpower alone an example of shank scaring off this sea monster way back in the beginning of the anime this type of hockey is incredibly rare and you can't learn it you're either born with it or you're not the second hockey technique is observation hockey which gives Luffy the ability to predict his enemy's next move this is my favorite because if mastered you can technically avoid every single attack from even the most powerful enemies Armament hockey is the third technique and with it Luffy can use his spiritual energy to create armor-like protection on his body now most one piece characters will never Master a form of hockey let alone all three but Luffy broke records by mastering all three forms in Just 2 years and we got to talk about Luffy's plot armor form see back in episode 183 Luffy had to fight the lightning man anel who's literally a god what made it even worse is that enel's observation hockey was so powerful he could practically read your mind so how do you fight someone who knows exactly what you're thinking you don't think and that's exactly what Luffy did creating this brainless form and putting his life in the hands of his reflexes and plot armor GE fourth is Luffy's next form and it builds on top of hockey to create three insane techniques the first is snake man which works by applying Armament hockey to just his arms and legs increasing his strength and making him extremely quick what makes this form powerful is that when Luffy throws a punch his fist continues speeding up until it hits the target and the perfect example of this form is when Luffy fought this guy who was originally too fast for Luffy but when Luffy used Snake Man the longer this enemy was able to dodge the stronger the attack got unfortunately snake man only uses Armament hockey on the arms and legs so it doesn't have great defense which is where his next gear forth technique comes in Bound man Luffy first invented this Tech sneak when he had to fight 500 giant beasts this form is so powerful that Luffy can destroy a mountain with one punch which is a huge upgrade from the strength gear third gave him but it gets even crazier cuz by mixing this technique with his gear second speed Luffy can fly or technically bounce around and while that sounds Unstoppable the same thing that makes him fly is also his downfall since he literally can't stop in this form as you can see his proportions are completely warped meaning Luffy has no control over his movement and when he hits the ground he'll just take off again and that brings us to the funniest gear Force technique tankman or as I like to call it fat Luffy this is the rarest form cuz we've only seen it once so far when Luffy fought Charlotte cracker in this fight Charlotte's cracker soldiers were destroying Luffy so he decided to try a different strategy eating the soldiers he ate so many of them this is what he looked like and when he activated his fourth tankman was born a technique that uses his big belly to create an unbeatable defense swords punches and any other attacks just can't get past his big hockey and forc stomach unfortunately there is a downside cuz in the tankman form Luffy can barely move which kind of explains why we've only seen it once now before we talk about Luffy's strongest form we got to talk about his weakest cuz before Luffy ever unlocked gears second third or fourth he was stuck in his base for form for almost 300 episodes now most people think this means his base form was weak but during this time Luffy fought so many people he actually got pretty strong like he was in this base form in his fight against enl the God and still won and in his battle against Captain cororo he was still able to win even though cororo specialized in blades which was Luffy's weakness at the time now let's talk about the form that literally broke one piece Luffy's ultimate gear five that basically makes him Invincible see gear fifth was developed after Luffy literally died while fighting kaido somehow while lying on the battlefield Luffy was able to restart his heart and the sheer trauma of this experience unlocked a special phase of Luffy's devil fruit called Awakening this new phase revealed that Luffy's devil fruit was never actually the gumgum fruit it was the human human fruit model NAA an extremely rare devil fruit that had the ability to turn the user into the sun god naika NAA was is an ancient warrior who fought in extremely creative ways to liberate slaves from their masters and always brought smiles to people's faces but there seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding this person and we don't know if he was actually real or just a myth the world government really doesn't want us to know the truth and that's why when the government had this devil fruit in their possession they changed the name to hide its power this awakened devil fruit grants Luffy increased speed defense and strength greater than any of his previous forms gear five also allows Luffy to apply the properties of rubber not only to himself but to everything around him according to kaido during their fight Luffy's gear five abilities were like something out of a picture book the creator of One Piece revealed the only thing limiting Luffy in this form is his own imagination so he's pretty much Invincible but gear five is also dangerous to Luffy cuz if he stays in the form for too long it drains his life force now that's crazy but uh Luffy's got more forms like the time he transformed into to Champion Luffy in his fight against a guy called mellin this dude was crazy strong with the power to either summon a beast made out of deadly poison or the ability to cover his body in it the poison is so dangerous that last time it touched Luffy he nearly died so to defeat mellin Luffy partnered up with a guy called Mr 3 to create the champion Luffy form see Mr 3 has wax Powers so he coated Luffy's arms and legs with thick wax armor that's as strong as steel when it hardens with this protection Luffy was actually able to attack mellin without touching his poison for a bit now Luffy's craziest form is one that hasn't even showed up in the anime or the manga see a couple years ago the creator of One Piece released a form of Luffy with two versions the first showed Luffy in 40 years if he ended up discovering the one piece as you can see he looks extremely strong and kind of resembles his grandpa GARP the second version though is depressing since it shows Luffy if he never ends up finding the one piece this guy is missing teeth is almost completely bald and just looks like a drunk old man I don't know when one piece is going to end but I really hope we don't get this form but that's not even the craziest thing in one piece click this video to see what would happen if Luffy had to fight his Straw Hat crew click it
