How did Luffy get past Yonko's level in Elbaf?

This article contains spoilers for the Elbuff arc of One Piece.

Key foods

• Luffy must surpass Yonko's level by improving his Devil Fruit control and Haki, especially Conqueror's Haki.
• Fans expect Luffy to become the strongest character in One Piece by the end of the series.
• Luffy must gain the power and control of Hockey Joey Boy in order to defeat powerful enemies like the Big Five.

Luffy is one of the most powerful characters in the movie each piece And fans know that after the events of Wano Country, she was promoted to Yonko's position. This is what many readers expected, but after his defeat of Kaido, Luffy was officially recognized around the world as one of the four sea emperors along with Shanks, Blackbeard, and of course the clown, Buggy.

Currently, Luffy is a force to be reckoned with and feared throughout the world. Luffy's power is so strong that even the likes of Navy Admirals can't take him in battle without too much trouble, and the likes of the Big Five struggle with him just as much. But what fans do know is that Luffy still has more potential to fulfill and eventually has to surpass Yonko's level. Luffy's goal must be much higher to be able to do what Joy Boy couldn't and reach a much higher level of power.

Oda highlights the level Luffy needs to reach

• Luffy was unable to harm the Elders in Egghead
• Emmett showed Luffy how it was done

Yunkos are easily some of the strongest each piece. In fact, Yonko is consistently considered the most powerful of all, aside from the likes of Roger, who have reached a very specific level in both power and notoriety. In general, yunkos are powerful, with their power even surpassing that of the admirals, the consensus among fans is that they are the most powerful in One Piece. Luffy, currently, is one of these Yunkos. However, in recent encounters, fans could easily see that there is still room for Luffy to grow. One, Luffy, despite his power level, does not have full control over his Devil Fruit. Even after achieving awakening, Luffy has room to grow in terms of his Devil Fruit powers.

Listen, Emmett! Within you, I will store my strongest hockey. – Happy boy

Of course he can't grow beyond Gear 5, but Luffy's control over Gear 5 and other aspects of his fruit still needs to grow. As things stand, Luffy can't hold Gear 5 for long and the side effects of this Gear are too hard for him. As time goes on, Luffy will have to work on this and get a better handle on it, and clues about it have already been dropped in the Elbow arc, where Luffy has started to get a much better handle on his Devil Fruit powers.

Oda clearly showed Luffy's shortcomings in the Egghead Arc. While he is very strong, he is not strong enough to defeat the likes of the Five Elders who are borderline immortals. But, while Luffy couldn't defeat them, someone else certainly did, and that person was none other than Joey Boy. Of course, the real son of Joe died 800 years ago, and with his death ended the empty century. But, fans also know that Joy Boy stored his hockey in Emet. When Emmett unleashed this hockey, it was so powerful that it split the sky by itself. It also thwarted the Elder Five's evil transformations and turned them back to Marijua, while putting Imo through a lot of trouble just by feeling it.

Oda's implication here was that Joey Boy's hockey was on a completely different level and he was already much stronger than Luffy. This is Oda's way of telling the fans that if he wants to defeat the Big 5, and subsequently, defeat Emo and free the world, he needs to become much stronger.

How did Luffy get past Yonko's level?

Luffy will work on his hockey to become stronger

Naturally, after the events of Egghead Island, fans may wonder how Luffy can grow beyond Yonko level. The answer is quite simple. In fact, Oda himself highlighted this to The Egghead. Luffy must focus on two things in particular in order to defeat the Big Five and more importantly Imo. For one, Luffy needs to work on the Devil Fruit more. As things stand, Gear 5 runs out so fast that Luffy can't defeat any powerful person.

Of course, Luffy can always push his body beyond all limits, just like he did against Kaido. But, while this is cool to see, it always portrays Luffy as a weakling. Luffy has to be on par with these guys and the performance against Kaido where he lost about four times before winning cannot be replicated.

Luffy needs to improve his control over Gear 5 and make it last in battle for a long time, just like the vast majority of top fighters can maintain their strongest power for a long time. As such, this should be Luffy's main focus.

This is hockey that reigns! – Kaido

That being said, Gear 5 alone cannot help Luffy overcome his enemies. The key to defeating the likes of the great yet emo is hockey. Luffy has already awakened all of Haki's advanced forms, but he still needs to improve them greatly. As Hawkeye Luffy is, he can't do the things Joey's son used to do. His strongest hockey can't be compared to Joey Boy, and because of that, he needs to gain more control over this ability. In particular, Luffy needs to greatly improve his Haki Conqueror. As mentioned earlier in the story by Rayleigh, the Conqueror's Haki grows stronger with the user. This means that if Luffy improves his control over gear 5 and increases his power level in general, his Conqueror Hockey will also improve.

With more training and fighting, Luffy's use of the Hockey King's Supreme also improves, meaning he learns more uses of it while also being able to channel it much better. Most importantly, fans consider Luffy to be a visual learner, meaning that if he were to fight a hockey master like Shanks, which fans know he inevitably will, he would have advanced programming for this ability. will find and learn how to destroy them. in the battle itself

How strong will the end of the Luffy series be?

Luffy should be the strongest character at the end of the story

At the end of each pieceLuffy must reach a very high level. In fact, it should come as no surprise to fans that at the end of One Piece, Luffy will be seen as the strongest character of all time. The reason for this is quite simple. Luffy has to do what Joey couldn't. He must surpass Roger and succeed where Joey Boy failed. This means that Luffy is going to surpass Roger and Joey Boy. With Joy Boy being the strongest character in One Piece, based on the recent show Oda gave fans, Luffy will inevitably end up being the strongest character in the entire series. This also makes sense because Luffy can only maintain absolute freedom in the seas by being the strongest, and Luffy's goal is to be the freest person in the seas.
