Powers & Abilities Why doesn’t Luffy use gear stacking instead of G4?
- Thread starter Shiroyru
- Start date
Luffy had fatigue because of him putting 100 Shadows into his body where a human can only take 2.
Also, Luffy has mastered Gear 2 and Gear 3 post timeskip.
He can use Gear 2 in one part of his body, not all of it like Pre TS, making the strain less on his body.
Gear 3 also has more control and less air making the strain on his body less and gives him more control, unlike Pre TS.
In addition to that, his body can handle Gears better with the survival training(stamina) he did during TS.
There is no excuse that Luffy hasn't used Gear stacking aside from Oda nerfing Luffy.

Gear 4th is stronger than gear stacking. Its literally the most powerful thing Luffy can do. He isn't nerfing Luffy.
Also, I don't really see the difference between him using gear 2nd and 3rd at the same time in the anime...
Like, that's technically gear stacking, even if he isn't doing the specific moves he used during Thriller Bark...

Isn't that just a tankman sort of form though? Like, sure, he could do it, but what would be the point? Luffy didn't have any other moves utilizing gear 2nd and 3rd together besides that tank shell move, which, lets be honest, doesn't seem half as efficient as boundman, which has genuine fighting capability. So it would basically just be tank man...
Yes, you just described stacking, i.e. adding two skills on top of each other. Gear 4 not only gives you the strength of Haki, but it uses Haki in tandem with his DF, to improve his physical strength.
That's where the phrase greater than the SUM of its parts comes from. You are using one skill to make another skill better.
If Luffy's base strength is 10, and his Haki is 10, by stacking you get 10 + 10 = 20. But if Luffy harmonises them (multiplies), you get 10 x 10 = 100.

Gear 4 gives him flight ,high defence,adds both speed and attack power and he can control his limbs while streched out.
the ploblem over using his haki that why dont see many charaters do full body CoA and not combining DF and CoA, charaters like doffy,katakuri,cracker use CoA with DF and theres no problems with them.

What I mean is fusing Devil Fruit and Haki together. There is a reason Doflamingo was suprised Luffy fused his Devil Fruit with haki.
What Doflamingo did is what Luffy does when fighting in base with armament Haki. Using Armament Haki on top of your Devil Fruit.
Only Big Mom and Katakuri have done it. That is where the flaming Armament Haki pattern comes from.

g2 and g3 combined are still less than the power of a kong gun
I personally think of it as a fast g3
he still uses attacks like elephant gun, gatling but is faster at it. The problem?
a kong gun is vastly superior to an elephant gun.
solution. adv coa upgrades everyone of luffy's forms. so strong that in his base, if he mastered it, hyo said he could stop bigmom in her tracks.

Doflamingo was suprised that Luffy has rubberized armament Haki.
