Everything You Need to Know About Gear 3 Luffy

Gear 3 is a transformation technique that utilizes the power of the Gomu Gomu no Mi to inflate one part of the body and increase the user's strength.

What should you know about this technique?

First Appearance in Anime

This technique was first mentioned in the fight between Luffy and Blueno and was first used to destroy an iron door in the Enies lobby.

Unfortunately, the first use of this technique was not shown to the audience. When Luffy destroyed the iron door, the area around him was immediately covered in dust.

After the dust clears, Chimney and Gonbe are seen staring at the large hole in the door in awe. Even more shocked, they found Luffy's body had shrunk.

The Gear 3 technique was first fully seen during the fight between Luffy and Rob Lucci.

How Gear 3 Luffy Works

How does Luffy use this technique? Luffy will plug his mouth using his thumb, he then bites the joint of his finger until a small hole forms.

After that he will blow air strongly into his bones until his arms expand. He can send air to all parts of his body with this technique.

By doing this, Luffy can add weight to his arms and use them to powerfully attack larger areas. As a side effect, it will be difficult for Luffy to move freely.

After the Timeskip, Luffy became more skilled in mastering Gear 2 and Gear 3 techniques. Where the side effects of using Gear 3 are more controllable.

Gomu Gomu no Gigant Thor Ax is a Gear 3 attack where Luffy enlarges his legs and pushes them towards a nearby lightning cloud.

When Luffy lowers his foot, a powerful shock wave will also be released. Because it is so strong, it can even cause the ground beneath it to collapse and be destroyed.
