Gear 2nd is one of Luffy's transformation techniques that is often used in battle. He first developed this technique after he faced a very strong CP9 agent to fight against.
When activating Gear 2nd, Luffy will pump his blood flow so fast that his body looks red and covered with steam. After that, his speed increased very significantly in the fight.
In this article, we would like to share our opinion about the best Gear 2nd techniques in One Piece. Without further ado, let's discuss the following together!
10. Gomu Gomu no Jet Hammer
When he landed on Fish-Man Island, Luffy had a chance to face one of the criminals named Vander Decken IX. He is a crazy maniac who is so obsessed with Shirahoshi that he does crazy things.
Even though Luffy's body was in a bound state, he was able to issue the Gomu Gomu no Jet Hammer to defeat Vander Decken. As the name implies, this technique is like a hammer that hits the enemy at full speed.
9. Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol
Before fighting Rob Lucci, Luffy had experienced Blueno's power first. Their battle was quite fierce because Blueno was a formidable opponent for Luffy.
In that battle, Luffy showed a drastic increase in strength after he activated Gear 2nd. He is able to issue a very fast punch like a bullet that cannot be seen by the enemy.
8. Gomu Gomu no Jet Bullet
Unlike the previous technique, Gomu Gomu no Jet Bullet was shown by Luffy when he faced Rob Lucci in a duel. That battle was one of the toughest challenges that Luffy had to conquer.
Gomu Gomu no Jet Bullet is a very strong type of melee attack. Luffy will hit the enemy with full speed and power. Because of the speed of the attack, the enemy will find it difficult to avoid it.
7. Gomu Gomu no Twin Jet Pistol
As the name implies, this move is the development of the Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol technique. Luffy will use both fists simultaneously and aim them at the enemy very quickly.
Unlike Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, Luffy will clench his fists so that the effect of the attack becomes more brutal. The ferocity of this technique was clearly seen when Luffy fought against Lucci at Enies Lobby.
6. Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka
Gomu Gomu no Bazooka is a special technique that is often used by Luffy. This technique allows him to attack the enemy with full power until the enemy is blown far back.
The attack power of this technique becomes more intense after Luffy activates Gear 2nd mode. With full speed, Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka is proven to be able to break through Blueno's Tekkai defense and make him lose the fight.
5. Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling
While fighting Rob Lucci, Luffy experienced a life and death battle. Lucci is not an enemy that can be defeated easily. He was even able to put Luffy in a dying situation.
Nonetheless, Luffy managed to get up and change the course of the fight. With his anger and strong determination, he managed to beat Lucci with Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling which showered Lucci in a barrage.
4. Gomu Gomu no Hawk Gatling
What will be the result if Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling is combined with Bushosoku Haki? Thanks to this combination, a new move called Gomu Gomu no Hawk Gatling was created. Not only fast, Luffy's attacks are stronger thanks to Haki.
Luffy showed this move when he wanted to attack Caesar Clown at Punk Hazard. However, the attack was repelled by the snow wall created by Monet.
3. Gomu Gomu no Hawk Rifle
The Gomu Gomu no Hawk Rifle is an upgraded version of the Gomu Gomu no Jet Rifle. Like the previous case, Luffy strengthens this technique with Busoshoku Haki so that his attack power becomes stronger.
Luffy made this move when he fought Don Chinjao in a duel at the Corrida Colosseum. The attack proved to be so strong that it penetrated Chinjao's defense and injured him.
2. Gomu Gomu no Eagle Bazooka
In the third position, there is an interesting technique called Gomu Gomu no Eagle Bazooka. This technique is the result of a combination of Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka with Busoshoku Haki. In addition, this technique was first shown by Luffy when he fought Doflamingo.
In terms of strength, this technique is indeed very strong and capable of dealing significant damage to the enemy. Even so, this technique was still easily parried by Doflamingo.
1. Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk
Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk is arguably the best Gear 2nd technique in One Piece. The technique was first demonstrated by Luffy when he fought against Hody. It is very similar to Ace's signature fire fist.
After imbuing his hands with Haki, Luffy will pull his hands back until his hands are covered with very hot flames. Then, he would unleash the fiery fist to scorch and burn his foe with full force.
