The advertising title for One Piece Day 2023 is “Gear Fifth Luffy.” Regarding this form of Luffy, Gear 5 (“Gear Fifth”) is an awakened state of the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Hito Hito no Mi) Devil Fruit, enhancing the elasticity and power of the user’s body. It also grants the ability to manipulate and transform their environment, akin to the awakening powers of the Paramecia. Luffy attains this power during his climactic battle with Kaidou on Onigashima.

The true identity of the Gomu Gomu no Mi is the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. This Devil Fruit empowers its wielder with strength and freedom, allowing them to fight in any way they desire. This is why its users are known as “Warriors of Liberation,” bringing joy and freedom to those around them, and its power is even considered the “most illogical strength in the world.” In this state, Luffy’s heartbeat becomes a rhythmic sound called the “Drumbeat of Liberation.” His hair and clothing turn white, his eyes shine with red irises resembling rings, and white, fluffy clouds surround his neck.

There are still many mysteries surrounding Gear 5 that remain unanswered. With it being the main focus of the upcoming One Piece Day 2023 event, fans hope that Oda will be “generous” and unveil some fascinating secrets related to the Nika state.
