Hey everyone,
Very new here, but I've been a longtime fan of the manga and I've recently started a youtube channel focused on One Piece theories and analysis - The Hidden Island.
Was hoping to get a theory out there that I've had on my mind for a couple years now - and I made a video to go along with it. This is a theory on what Gear 5th is, and what the Gum-Gum fruit is truly capable of...

There are spoilers for the manga in this video, so watch at your own risk!
Summary:
This video, set in the theme of a jazz lounge on the sea (ala Baratie), explores my thoughts on Gear 5th and what I think it really is.
I also touch on the revelation that the Gum-Gum Fruit was in the hands of the world government, as well as why it was so important to them.
Without going too hard into spoilers, I believe that Gear 5th turns Luffy into a giant and is the only devil fruit truly capable of solving the mystery of 'gigantification'. All other fruits that can make you big or create a giant of some kind, all involve some sort of trick or caveat. But Luffy's fruit can currently turn his limbs gigantic without any catch. Building off the Shanks + Elbaf theory (that states Shanks is affiliated with the giants), I believe this is why the world government was guarding it so closely - and that this is also why Shanks stole it just prior to the beginning of the story.
Luffy inherited not just the Strawhat from Shanks, but also the power of the giants.
This also connects back to Thriller Bark, where each of the monster trio fights a zombie that foreshadows their future in a way. Sanji fights an invisible man, Zoro fights Ryuma, and Luffy fights an ancient giant. As far as I can tell, Thriller bark foreshadowed more than just Gear 4th.
More evidence and details in the video.

I hope you guys enjoy, and please give me any feedback or thoughts you have! I would love to hear what you guys think Gear 5th may be as well!
Much Love,
Hidden
