A recent Facebook post revealing details about Monkey D. Luffy's highly anticipated Gear 6 transformation from the popular anime series One Piece has gone viral, sparking much speculation and heated debate among the fan community.
The post, which comes from a page called Eiichiro Oda with over 1 million followers, claims that Luffy's Gear 6 will be revealed in the upcoming Elbaf Arc. However, the reliability of this leak has been questioned.
Ever since Luffy first entered Gear 5 in episode 1071 of the One Piece anime, fans have been eagerly anticipating the possibility of powering up the beloved protagonist.
Gear 5, which grants Luffy incredible abilities and the freedom to manipulate his surroundings, leaves viewers wondering what other surprises author Eiichiro Oda has in store.
Viral Facebook post claims Luffy's Gear 6 will debut in the Elbaf Arc, sparking skepticism among fans
On July 28, a Facebook page under the name Eiichiro Oda posted a statement claiming that Luffy's Gear 6 will be revealed in the upcoming Elbaf Arc, which is expected to be the next major storyline in the One Piece series.
The post quickly went viral, garnering over 80,000 likes within hours of being posted. However, skepticism has arisen over the authenticity of the post, as there is no confirmation that the Facebook page actually belongs to Eiichiro Oda.
The incident highlights a growing trend of social media accounts impersonating popular manga authors.
Recently, the official Twitter account for the Naruto series had to clarify that series author Masashi Kishimoto has no social media presence whatsoever after a misleading post from a fake Masashi Kishimoto Twitter page gained significant attention.
Fans debate Luffy's Gear 6 appearance amid speculation and skepticism over viral Facebook post
Luffy himself has stated that Gear 5 represents his ultimate form, giving him the ability to create anything he can imagine. This assertion has led some fans to question whether the Gear 6 transformation is necessary or even possible.
However, others speculate that as Luffy continues to explore and master his Nika form, he may discover new abilities that could potentially evolve into Gear 6.
Since One Piece is still an ongoing series, the possibility of Gear 6 cannot be completely ruled out. Eiichiro Oda, known for his creative plot and character development, may decide to introduce new powers to keep the story fresh and interesting. However, until there is official confirmation from Oda or the One Piece team, fans should approach leaks and rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Currently, One Piece fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter of the series, hoping to resolve the current plot and reveal what will happen to Luffy and his crew. While the viral Facebook post has certainly created excitement, its reliability remains questionable.
