Used by Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece

Description

Luffy pumps blood through his body at extremely high speed using his legs as a pump, raising his body temperature and metabolism to superhuman levels. This grants a massive boost in speed, strength, and reflexes — temporarily making him faster than the eye can track. His body steams as a side effect. Originally at the cost of significant stamina, though Luffy has refined it over time.

Power & Effect

Massive speed and strength multiplier; steam emission; allows use of fire-based attacks like Red Hawk

Trivia & Notes

  • First revealed against Blueno of CP9
  • Works by rapidly oxygenating muscles through blood-pump speed increase
  • In post-timeskip, Luffy activates it selectively by limb rather than whole body
