we've had this discussion before. :p
He is able to use that technique because he is rubber, but after excessive use of gear 2 it reduces his life.

I'll just take it out from wikipedia.


i dont trust the wikipedia that much

we'll have to wait for the english dubs to get an accurate read, because the translations are always going to be crude

Lucci's convo with Luffy when they were fighting.

Quote (Vicc @ 22 Nov 2010 23:32)
Okay here we go, last 1/4th of ep 302.

Lucci: Mysterious steam... a strange, red body...
What's happening inside this man's body?
:o Oh, is that it!?
Just as I thought. It's just like steroids. You use your legs as pumps to speed the flow of blood...
If you were a normal human, that much rise in your blood pressure would be enough to burst your heart, but as your organs and blood vessels are rubber, you can handle it. An ability only usable by a rubber-human. You're surely pushing your body past its limits. Your body is hardly able to withstand it! You aren't very smart; you're shortening your life itself!

Luffy: It's better than having everything taken away from me!
I'll do everything I can!


10 pages back.

Back then someone said it was only cause he was using it for the first time, but I highly doubt that.

it's only speculation from lucci's point of view

"You're Surely pushing your body etc etc"


doesn't mean it's a for sure thing

lets compare it to something.
take Naruto for instance, his new technique... spiraling shuriken or w/e they called it. when he used that in the beginning it was badly damaging his body, then once he mastered sage mode he could use it freely w/o it completely exhausting him.

its most likely the same with Luffys gear second. they arent going to introduce a technique like that for the main character of this show, only to have it backfire and harm him in the long run.
of course if they are planning on killing him off at the end of the show, then ya it could make sense... but i doubt they will do that.

(this is only in regards to gear second, not the adrenaline injection)

you're going to get flamed for comparing the #1 read manga/watched anime(NARUTO) to the #3(one piece)

not really.
Instead you should compare Gear second to Sage mode, except Sage mode can be compeltely mastered.
Sure, Luffy got used to it and can use it for longer periods of time, but I'm pretty sure overusing it WOULD shorten his life somewhat.

the problem with both of them is that they were not strong enough to use the ability w/o it damaging their body...
naruto got stronger, luffy got stronger.

why would they allow luffy to continue to use this ability unless they were infact planning on killing him in the end of the show?
hes been using the technique since cp9, yet there has been no sign of Luffy weakening.

u cant just say its going to shorten his life and expect to see signs of damage 20 years from now.
it would show up almost right away, yet here he is in the marines headquarters after two (so called life shortening) adrenaline shots and many extended uses of gear second.
