However, the fight will be longer than ever, and Luffy is still unequipped to deal with powerful opponents without draining his stamina. His Gear 5 ability gives him unparalleled power, but it comes at a steep price. He can only use it for a short time since it quickly drains his stamina. The drawback keeps holding him back against powerful enemies, especially when the stakes are higher than ever.
Luffy Is Still Not Strong Enough For The Final War in One Piece
Luffy is now one of the Four Emperors of the Sea and a powerful pirate, and even the Holy Knights didn’t want to cross him. However, despite all his power, he is not strong enough to battle in the Final War. Whenever Luffy drains his stamina, he starts looking like an old man who can’t even lift a finger. The only way he can get back into fighting is by filling his stomach and getting his energy back. The fight in Elbaph has barely even begun, but he’s already down for the count.
Considering his state in the latest Chapter 1178, it’s evident that he wouldn’t be able to survive the Final War at this current level. The story still has a while to go before commencing the major battles against more powerful villains, and the future Pirate King must find a way to extend the time he can use Gear 5. His ability is strong enough to overpower even someone like Kaido, which is all the more reason Luffy needs to be at his best when the battle against the World Government begins.
