It's time for Luffy to get a new powerup. Maybe not a new Gear, but a new mode within G5.
Another G5 mode would have the same problem this one has, so he still would need to get fed to activate "dark Nika", which is a shit solution aswell imo.
If base Luffy can use partial G4 already, Luffy does not need to go full loney tunes and full G5 to be strong. I'd even argue that the G4 mechanic is the strongest quirk about his fruit anyway, besides those overly massive gigantification applications.
A hybrid mode making use of the G4 mechanics and the gigantification in the best way (speed boost Boumdman legs, casual Snakeman and KKG etc.) + all out aCoC would honestly be massive, but I keep my expectations low.
It was never bound to happen!
