Summary
One Piecehas a genius reason to explain one of Gear Five ’s biggest mysteries and it may have been staring fans in the face all along . One of the weirdest , unexplained features of Gear Five is that it enigmatically turn Luffy ’s hairsbreadth and clothes snowy . WhenGear Five first made its debutin the manga , many usurp its official color would be xanthous , not white , due to the connection to Sun God Nika . The intellect for Gear Five ’s color was never rightfully revealed but the back ofOne Piece ’s late volume may furnish some answer .
Volume 108 ofOne Piecefeatures several key figures from the Egghead Arc on the cover , includingLuffy in Gear Fivewho is conspicuously splayed across the center . The bulk cover garnered flock of attention , particularly due to Luffy ’s unique coloring , which is distinguishable from the other characters featured in the illustration . In fact , Luffy ’s multicolored blending powerfully resembles refracted luminance , almost as though Gear Five Luffy is made up of illumination itself .
This raises the possibility that Gear Five , or rather Nika ’s genuine form , may not symbolise the sun but sunlight itself , which is n’t actually yellow light but rather blanched light , thus explaining Gear Five ’s white colouring material . To add to this , Nika representing sunlight could link in with the Vegapunk ’s trace about the Ancient Kingdom ’s mysterious power generator , as well as one of Luffy ’s most curious powers .
In addition to granting Luffy impressive mightiness , the Gear 5 form is also a fascinating yell - out to the story of classical cartoons .
One Piece Already Hinted at the True Reason Behind Gear Five’s Coloring
Written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda
While it is potential that Luffy ’s blending on the cover of volume 108 was simply a stylistic option by Oda , there is the fact that none of the other characters featured are nearly as colorful as Luffy . Oda is also known to drop hints through coloration spreads that volume covers , which have foreshadowed even large twists like Ace ’s expiry and the succeeding Four Emperors . Hence , it may not be as much of a reach to take mass 108 could also hint at a fundamental truth about Gear Five .
The possible action that Sun God Nika embodies sunlight might in the end excuse how exactly Gear Five has managed to awaken the Iron Giant on Egghead .
More significantly , the anime also provides extra proof to bear this possibility . Upon airless review , one might point out thatGear Five pay off a faint white glowduring the heavy battle against Kaido which is peculiarly seeming when Luffy is picture against the night sky . Even in the more recent episode # 1100 , when Luffy transforms into Gear Five on Egghead , his hair and clothes distinctly appear to be glowing as they become white .
The Ancient Kingdom’s Power Source May Be Similar to Solar Power
The opening that Sun God Nika embodies sunshine might last explicate how exactlyGear Five has managed to awaken the Iron Gianton Egghead . When the connexion between Nika and the giant robot was first break , it confirm Nika ’s connectedness to the futuristic Ancient Kingdom as well . If so , Nika may be the winder to the Ancient Kingdom ’s occult baron sourcethat Vegapunk flush it to recreate , as well as what caused the Ancient Kingdom to fall .
In chapter # 1068 , Vegapunk report his dream to make a world with abundant vigor that is approachable to everyone around the world . Vegpunk delineate this energy as existing everywhere around them , look to be draw rein , and that the closer he acquire to harnessing this latent push germ , the closer he gets to the ancient energy that powered the Iron Giant .
Vegapunk ’s description just so chance to fit that of solar powerfulness , which could be the mysterious power used in the past . If so , Sun God Nika , or rather his light may have been the reservoir of energy powering the entire Ancient Kingdom and all their weapons and inventions , serve as the second sun Lilith note when the Straw Hats first landed on Egghead Island . This raise the opening that Nika ’s defeat or capture during the Void Century could have led to the Ancient Kingdom ’s fall due to them losing their principal mogul source and thus the power to use their weapons during the long dark night .
Overall , Gear Five and Sun God Nika are still shrouded in mysteries , many of which are yet to be officially explain . Though fan finally acceptedGear Five ’s official colors , it is still hard to guess the reasoning behind it , which could be something as elementary as depicting Nika ’s morality or something with greater relevance to the story . disregardless , Luffy’sGear Five continues to storm sports fan with its laughable powersand likely has enough more surprises in computer storage for the Final Saga ofOne Piece .
