One Piece has a knack for granting Luffy miraculous victories against powerful enemies. When all hope seems lost, his plot armor somehow helps her achieve the impossible. Whether it was against Rob Lucci, Doflamingo or Katakuri, all of them were much stronger than the aspiring Pirate King and still faced ultimate defeat.
However, no other antagonist pushed Luffy to the limit like Kaido did. Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, is known to be "unable to die." He is also the strongest Emperor with the alias King of Beasts.
Until now, Luffy's powers were nothing out of the ordinary. Every shonen protagonist has something that makes them unique. However, Luffy only had a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit and very strong Haki. Even the Conqueror Haki from him is something that many characters possess. Therefore, despite being incredibly strong, Luffy was just a normal pirate.
But his transformation into Gear 5 changed all that. Luffy is the only character in the entire series to have a Devil Fruit that can change his properties after awakening. What was thought to be an ordinary Devil Fruit turned out to be a Mythical Zoan. The Gorosei referred to this fruit as the "most ridiculous power in the world" and erased it from the annals of history.
And that is what happened in the expected "Episode 1071" of One Piece, while the Crunchyroll servers already look down , what have the fans thought about it?
Let's review the comments:
