Oda God of foreshadowing
What the heck does ''slave to destiny' even mean?
There's a reason Oda has the guy who opens the premise of the story (Roger and the great pirate era) have a monologue that mentions both destiny and free will and human fascination with each. They're not exclusive concepts. Destiny is an outcome based on choice. This isn't Naruto where everone buys into a prophecy, including the MC, and they move according to said prophecy. Luffy isn't Naruto, who fashions himself a hero. He doesn't want that, as he told Jinbe. He doesn't care about that, like Robin told Law.
For instance, Luffy didn't give rats ass about the people of Dressrosa. He saved them from Doflamingo becuase a girl gave him a bento. He ignored that she tried to kill him jusr after doing so. He didn't give a fuck about Wano, he went to save it because a little boy asked him for help, and he held a grudge against Kaido simply because a little girl gave him rice that she had been saving up an entire year for, and then poisoned herself because she drank polluted water to stave off hunger. It was the same for Fishman Island and Alabasta, etc.
Luffy doesn't care about destiny or prophecies, that's why the Naruto and Bleach comparisons were always bullshit. He's arrived at these outcomes for no other reason than becuase he's chosen to be exactly who he is. He could have chosen a thousand different things, regardless of the fruit he has, and he wouldn't have ended up here after any one of them other than this route.
People were always just determined to hate the series just to hate it, and this is a low hanging fruit that allows them to pretend themselves intellectuals while portraying any disagreement as a symptom of mindlessness. It's just as dumb as it was after last chapter and after x chapter 200 hundred chapters ago. Better off leaving it be.

Exactly this.
No one can be a 'slave' to destiny. 'Destiny' is not an individual sentient being and therefore cannot enslave anyone.
I disagree with this. He said he wants to rid Wano off Kaido so that the Wanonians can eat their fill every day. But true, he is not a hero and I like that about Luffy.
People who claim to be heroes or who make choices only because they will make them look like heroes are usually just narcissistic frauds.

I feel like Oda is a little bit trying too hard with the freedom power connecting to luffys will about being the man with most freedom and everything about this theme. I would have loved another creative G5 but I guess another gear in this arc invented by luffy had to be too much of an asspull so the choice was awakening.
But like G4 at first time the more I see the, the more I get used to it and love it

*Luffy allegedly dies*
Choppy cries

Luffy grabs kaido swings him like a Bayblade
Luffy : don't fret or you'll regret

Another problem with this chapter is we’ve seen Kaido get knocked around so much that Luffy’s actions this chapter don’t have much of an impact.
G2 first use- shit stomps Blueno. Up until then, CP9 had been amazingly strong. It’s a huge “the tables have turned“ moment.
G3 first use- gigantic ass punch that nearly knocks Lucci clean out. Not quite as impactful as G2‘s first use, but still has an oomph factor.
G4 (Bounceman)- Luffy goes from struggling horribly against Doffy to knocking him around Dressrosa like a football. It‘s a huge moment
G4 (Tankman)- I think the weakest one impactwise but it still does let him take down Cracker immediately.
G4 (Snakeman)- another strong first impression, gives him the upper hand on Katakuri, Katakuri doesn’t have a clue what’s happening.
Here, we see Luffy toss Kaido about with ease…
… but we‘ve already seen that. The first use of G4 was battering Kaido around and everyone was watching in amazement.
I’d actually say that the G4 moment looks more impressive than G5, becayse that’s the first time we ever actually saw someone really take the fight to and dominate Kaido, plus it had Big Mom and the Worst Gen all watching in amazement.

I wouldn't try to powerscale Luffy Toones too much. It's just a form that gives Oda "freedom" to come up with anything he wants. There are no rules anymore.
I'm probably in the minority but I seriously dislike this.
First the part about Luffys Devil Fruit suddenly being something else than what we were told for 20 years, secondly the fact that its actually this hugely overpowered, legendary one instead of just a random rubber fruit with a very creative user. This feels super naruto "your the chosen one" like, which I really dont enjoy as a trope
And then his whole new look and personality just feels way too cartoony and funny, even in the OP world. I dont know, maybe Oda manages to catch me in the following chapters, but this one was a huge letdown after two long weeks of hype
