Transformations are among the most common tropes in the anime and manga industries. Luffy’s transformation is also very well-known in the community, with Gear 5 often hailed as the greatest transformation ever by most One Piece fans.

After witnessing the unveiling of Gear 5, Reddit user u/Ok_Depth6077 believes that if Luffy managed to unlock Gear 6, he would obliterate the Red Line, which is said to go 10,000 meters deep from the surface of the sea to Fish-Man Island at the ocean floor.

Eiichiro Oda has solidified his status as the most immaculate manga writer ever with the creation of One Piece, which has held its spot as the best franchise in the world for more than two decades.

Despite being over two decades old, the story has numerous mysteries yet to be revealed, and Oda sensei does a fantastic job of keeping the audience engaged.

Luffy’s form has peculiar importance to the story and plot, and Gear 5, which was said to be the peak of Luffy, was termed the best anime transformation ever by the fanatics. However, some fans are already looking beyond Gear 5, and many theories have emerged about when Gear 6 will ensue.

Luffy’s Gear 6 would tear apart the Red Line, which is said to be impossible in the One Piece verse, according to Reddit user u/Ok_Depth6077.

The Red Line is something even the most robust devil fruits have managed not to impair, but according to the theory, the immovable wall would finally be broken down by Luffy.

According to his theory, Gear 6 would be the parallel of Gear 3 with bigger and double digits. He mentions the mirror between Gear 2 and Gear 5, as they have similar stances, changes of body, etc.

Further on, he believes that Gear 6 would give us the enlarged version of the Bajrang gun but 20 times bigger. This could be plausible since Gear 5’s only drawback is the imagination power of the user. If Luffy’s mental strength increases, this theory might become a reality.

Will Luffy ever unlock Gear 6 in One Piece?

Gear 5 was the latest transformation Luffy acquired during his fight with Kaido, and ever since, fans have been curious about when the next transformation will appear. Unfortunately, the chances of anything beyond that are not high.

Luffy’s newest form allows him to do impossible things if he can imagine it; this is the best Luffy can get in terms of power. The only thing left for him to do is master all the other aspects of it, and he would undeniably become the strongest in the verse.

Gear 6 would need to be something that makes sense to the story, and with how broken Luffy is with Gear 5, with his only drawback being his imagination, Oda sensei would probably avoid adding a new form.

With the story approaching its climax very soon and the time duration between each transformation taken into account, it most likely won’t happen.
