In Chapter 1069 of One Piece, the Straw Hats finally get an in-depth explanation of Luffy’s Gear 5. Only in the Wano Country arc, when Luffy ultimately defeated Kaido, did any viewers get to witness Gear 5 in action. The vast majority of onlookers brushed off his recent metamorphosis as just another peculiar facet of the Gomu Gomu no Mi. Luffy’s Devil Fruit was initially the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which he kept a secret from everyone.
In Chapter 1069 of One Piece, Vegapunk explained everything to them. Naturally, this explanation was only shared with a select few crew members. Meanwhile, Zoro and Brook are keeping watch over the ship, and Jinbe and Chopper are accompanying Luffy. The surviving Straw Hats, however, were stunned by the news. By the end of One Piece Chapter 1069, some of the Straw Hats had learned the truth about Luffy’s Gear 5.
In order to understand how Luffy’s Devil Fruit functions, Vegapunk provided an explanation. Vegapunk transferred himself to the Labophase, where some of the Straw Hats are being kept, in One Piece Chapter 1069. In an instant, he saw Gear 5 Luffy fighting Gear 4 Lucci. Vegapunk made the observation that Luffy looked a lot like a deity from ancient literature. The scientist elaborated on his belief that Devil Fruits are actual physical expressions of human desires. He made reference to the fact that the Sun God Nika had been written out of their history books, but that his will still lived on in the current day, arguing that this was evidence that people’s wants would never go away.
Vegapunk is the first member of Luffy’s crew to give a thorough explanation of how everything functions. The scientist also references One Piece Chapter 1069, where he says that creative thinking may lead to great success.
What can we say? The Straw Hats were taken aback.
This tweet is really on-topic for Chapter 1069 of One Piece. This first image perfectly captures Luffy’s typical, childlike demeanour. The majority of the Straw Hats think this about him. In contrast, the second image depicts how Luffy’s Gear 5 makes him look nearly heavenly, like a fabled character from legend. Look at how the Straw Hats reacted when Vegapunk explained Luffy’s talents in One Piece Chapter 1069. Nami misunderstood Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation, thinking it was the same as his previous transformations using the Gomu Gomu no Mi. Considering that Luffy always referred to his Devil Fruit as the Gomu Gomu no Mi, Usopp had a hard time believing that it went by any other name. Vegapunk’s claim that Luffy’s Gear 5 made him look like a deity from ancient books made the old man sound senile in Sanji’s ears.
Even after Vegapunk had described everything in detail, Franky and Robin just stood there, expressionless. Luffy’s reaction to this information is still to be revealed following the events of Chapter 1069 of One Piece. But he seems so unconcerned about everything that it’s possible he doesn’t give a hoot. Because he is a carefree guy, Luffy does what he wants regardless of the consequences. If nothing more, at least some of Luffy’s crew has a better grasp on the most potent version of his metamorphosis. Their responses indicate that they did not believe their leader to be divine. A shocking truth is revealed in One Piece Chapter 1069, which has quite an impact on them.
