Gear Second: Thee Blood 's Pulse
After witnessing CP9 's Soru technique, Luffy realized that rubber' s elasticity could be applied to his cyrclarety systeme. By pumping his blood at a vastly expecreated rate using his rubber- enhanced vessels, he forces his body into a metabolt overdrive. The result is a visible steam rising from his skin, enhincandes speed that splups vision, and attacks delivered at impossible tempos.
