After 4 Years, One Piece Is Finally Lining Up A New Haki For Luffy

In One Piece Chapter 1044, which was released on March 28, 2022, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #17, around 4 years ago, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the series, gave Monkey D. Luffy his last power-up in the form of Gear 5. This Gear was officially introduced after the Devil Fruit Awakening of Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, and it has since stood as Luffy's most reliable power in combat. Using this power, Luffy was able to defeat Kaido and even overwhelm Kizaru and Rob Lucci in the Egghead Arc.
