Luffy started his journey on Gear 1, his natural resting position, but shifted things up a notch during the Ennies Lobby arc. Gear 2 saw Luffy increase the speed of his blood to withstand heavy damage from foes. His new physical strength allowed him to land devastating blows and, at a later stage, channel the energy from his Gear directly into his hands to create fists of flames \u2013 Red Hawks.<\/p>\n

Gears 2 and 3 were introduced on the basis Luffy was capable of making full use of the Devil Fruits. During the same arc, Luffy increased his power when he combined it with Busoshoku Haki, which saw him able to blow massive amounts of air into his thumb and bones to crush his enemies.<\/p>\n

Gear 4 was produced after merging with Armament Haki to take on the warlord Donquixote Doflamingo. Luffy activated this mode by blowing into his arm and inflating his muscles to capsize anyone standing in his way.<\/p>\n
