Nah chief, he was on a plane in his 1st cartoon. His boat cartoon was the 1st cartoon for Mickey to use the at that time new sound technology.

hey ant, do u understand momo's statement about luffys voice fading...and how the stamina drain works?

Sorry about that, I thought Cubari was allowed, as a lot of people publishes it in OPM threads

As long as he has people who genuinely believe in him as their champion and cheer for him, and that he believes in back, he can regain his strength in a cartoony manner. He is a spirit of freedom and liberation now after all.
Also, he seems to be able to store up impact damage and then return the accumulated power now.

i did realize that but luffy himself says that hes exhausted and is "drying" up, quite literally, and that he almost died. and with the voice fading when he runs out of energy it leads me to believe that even with this regained strength the drawbacks are quite big. the longer it goes the more harm it'll cause him.
Edit: i saw ur edited comment, what would be the point of him running out of energy and exhaustin himself if he can just revitalize it, theres def gonna be a price to it.

Are we gonna consider those scenes gag moments? Cuz i think its rly not gag its just the goofy drawing of Oda

These have to be treated as real as even Kaido flat out references that it's straight out of a picture book. Luffy's toon force is real.

IMO it's more likely that Luffy can affect absolutely anything with his rubberization powers ... For example, when he poked right through Kaido's eyes and punched through his head, I assumed that he is making Kaido's body itself rubbery, which is why Kaido wasn't blinded or killed
The obvious problem is that Luffy also influences people who are not at all in contact with him (making their eyes pop) but that seems to be a very minor thing

There were some things that he did that are impossible for rubber to do but overall that seems like the direction Oda wants to go. Oda never been this unpredictable before so all we can do is wait and see.

Oda's going balls to the wall with Luffy toons and I love it
I'm assuming Luffy going through Kaido's eyeballs/Head was either intangibility or awakening Kaido's own body?
But it wouldn't make sense if it's awakening. When he awakened inside Kaido, Kaido's balloon body stayed the same color, didn't turn black and white- while punching through Kaido's head didn't effect his actual body, just went through it?

I was just assuming he awakened the entire island passively. When Kaido bonked him into the ground, the ground bent like rubber without him trying to awaken it actively. I'm guessing it's more of a proximity thing with his nonsense ability-

Gotta say that Chapter 1045 is the perfect chapter for April Fools

Luffy did the same thing in Skypiea.

Guys, look closely, Luffy basically just did this with Kaidou's face

When he kicked Enel, right? But it wasn't nearly to this extent. He's turning Kaido black and white with the last punch through the head. (Or at least the surface area he stretched)

Also-- Law's dying this arc. The theories might've been true.
The whole "I'm about to croak" line means Luffy might straight up die when this form runs out. Y'know- unless someone does an immortality related surgery. What if the "treasure" Doflamingo was talking about was actually the Nika fruit, or something LIKE it that could kill you if you awaken it? Unless you're immortal.

Newer translations revealed that Gear 5th has both Buso and Hao activated

Yeah that moment is different, A the creature is already dead in that panel and B luffy is clearly on the outside of the eye , so it's not quite as physics breaking.
Regarding the awakening. While I agree the eye thing could have just been him turning kaido's eyes into rubber, the head thing is more difficult. With the head we clearly see Luffy's fist going through Kaido's head and it's not like his Body is stretchy because the colors don't match if Kaido's body was rubber we should have seen some stretching effect or at least a some skin coloring around Luffy's fists. That isn't the case.
Right now I'm theorizing Luffy has these new abilities in Gear 5th:
Enhanced Body Control
Greater Physical Characteristics
Toon Force
Transmutation(Turned Kaido's body rubbery when expanding in his body, as well as the environment)
Large Size Type 2 with Gomu Gomu no Gigant

The giant snake is not dead, and Luffy is actually inside the eye but you're right to point out that it isn't really physics-breaking in the same way Luffy's "escape rocket" was in the latest chapter

I thought it was Gomu Gomu no Gigant ?

So funny comics are a thing in OP just like the propaganda ones with Sora, noted. Maybe Luffy might've gotten inspiration from them
Not only that but Luffy is seen inside both eyes of that giant snake

That's definitely Intangbility unless we assume Kaido's eyes are just like completely intangible.
Either that or we punch it up with his toon force something like "Toon Force" (Via Awakening / Gear 5th, Luffy is able to break the laws of Physics, such as being able to seemingly phase throughout his opponents body, and can fight in any way he wishes as if it were a cartoon.)"
Paraphrasing ofc.

Why on Earth would it be intangibility?
Kaido's eyes are stretching; Luffy's isn't tearing through them with his hands.

Because in the final part of the chapter Luffy is clearly going through Kaido's head and it's not stretching. It's debatable with the eye thing, but the head is pretty clearly at least partial intangibility or toon force.

I think Luffy is in one eye and the girl is in the other

the head looks like he's stretching the outside of his head and the back of his head is stretched around his fist, which is why the front of Kaidou's face has an impact point
- 16,918
- 11,963
This definitely doesn't look like his eyes are stretching. Where are his pupils? And if it were stretching that doesn't explain how Luffy got out without tearing anything in the process.

He got out through Kaido's mouth.

Context of that whole scene is Kaidou freaking out that his body is rubbery, and we saw Luffy escape through the mouth
