Used by Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece

Description

Luffy bites his thumb and blows enormous amounts of air into his bones, inflating his arm to a massive size. The resulting giant limb can crush enemies with devastating force. In post-timeskip Luffy can coat the giant limb with Haki for even greater power.

Power & Effect

Giant limb with crushing force; Haki-enhanced version multiplies damage significantly

Trivia & Notes

  • Originally caused Luffy to shrink to chibi-size after use as the air dispersed through his body
  • The shrinking side effect disappeared after the two-year timeskip
  • Often called "Gear Third: Elephant Gun" when Haki-coated
