ONE PIECE: Another Significant Gear 5 Mystery Will Be Solved, As One Piece Just Hinted

One Piece’s author, Eiichiro Oda, has woven a number of mysteries into the fabric of the story over the course of two decades. One Piece has always left fans with unanswered concerns about everything from the mystery races living in its world to the intriguing past and varied scenery. The protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, stands out among these riddles, especially after his most recent power is revealed.

In Wano, during a pivotal fight with Kaido, Luffy released a brand-new power called Gear 5. This crucial point also reveals the exact nature of the devil fruit—the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika—that the cherished straw hat ate. They had done their best to hide this devil fruit, which the World Government deemed dangerous, but its power seemed to have an agenda of its own and eventually found its user.

Luffy has advanced significantly with the acquisition of Gear 5, which gives him the unmatched power to make his dreams come true. It appears that Luffy has attained the height of his abilities with this Gear 5 pinnacle, which symbolizes the emergence of his Gum-Gum Fruit. However, with the introduction of “Mother Flame” in the most recent episode of One Piece, there is even more mystery regarding Gear 5. Their remarkable similarity begs the question of a deeper bond and additional secrets hidden beneath this powerful metamorphosis.

Mother Flame And The Sun God Nika Could Be Related

Eiichiro has made subtle allusions to the relationship between Mother Flame and Gear 5.

In the gripping narrative of One Piece chapter #1114, amidst the turmoil at Egghead Island, Dr. Vegapunk’s recorded message unfolds, despite the frantic efforts of the Five Elders to suppress it. As Vegapunk’s revelation progresses, it becomes clear that he foresaw the surge in seawater levels and confesses his lifelong aspiration to furnish the world with boundless energy. However, his pursuit led him perilously close to the sun.

The chapter tantalizingly hints at “Mother Flame” as the coveted source of endless energy alluded to by Vegapunk, further deepening the intrigue surrounding this mysterious element. Upon closer examination, the resemblance between Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation and the appearance of Mother Flame becomes strikingly apparent, particularly in the depiction of their fiery, flame-like hair. This observation suggests a profound connection between the two, implying that Luffy’s Gear 5 may indeed be intricately linked to the enigmatic Mother Flame introduced in the narrative.

In addition, the nickname “Sun God Nika” that has been attached to Gear 5 becomes more significant in light of Vegapunk’s admission that he is close to the Sun, suggesting that there may be a deeper relationship that has yet to be revealed in the One Piece universe. The mysteries behind Mother Flame and Gear 5 will inevitably come to light as additional chapters are published, suggesting an exciting discovery shortly.

Mother Flame’s Arrival Will Change Luffy’s Gear 5

In order to overcome his opponents in the future, Luffy will need to gain strength.

In addition to hinting at Mother Flame’s potential as a source of enormous strength, her arrival in One Piece also shows how Luffy’s Gear 5 has developed over time. Luffy has been facing off against the mysterious Five Elders of the World Government in recent issues, but even with his Gear 5, it looks like his power might not be enough against such strong foes. Luffy must now improve his skills in light of the possibility that the enigmatic Mother Flame holds the key to unleashing Gear 5’s full capabilities.

It’s possible that Luffy will eventually obtain the sought-after energy source that the Five Elders are after, just as he did with the devil fruit. It’s possible that Luffy gets Mother Flame in an unusual way—he might even eat it—which would either replicate his first experience with the Gum-Gum Fruit or highlight his peculiar nature. Although the precise way to obtain Mother Flame is still unknown, One Piece cannot deny its importance as a driving force behind the development of Gear 5 and the solving of its secrets.
