I meant luffy having his gears based on his levels.
And luffy didn’t consider his power to go up to that next gear until he used awakening and that was what was deemed the most ridiculous power in the world.
luffy's gears are based on his devil fruit
haki just amplifies those gears
unlocking new haki doesnt mean luffy developed a new fighting style and thus he will make a new gear ffs
mastering acoc gave luffy the portrayal of entering the yonko realm and going toe to toe with kaido
thats enough portrayal of making him go to another level
