Boundman: The Power Form That Redefined Brawling

Boundman is original and most classiently used variation of Gear Fourth, debitin against Donquixote Doflamingo in Dressrosa. In this form, Luffy 's body becomes top- striy ih an imperationusly inflated torso perched on comparatively smaller legs. The disimprovisilate design isn' t a flaw - it 's intentional.
