Is this anime finished up yet? (I want to watch it all at once i HATE waiting a week for each episode)

no sir, not even close.... is the manga done yet?

not too sure about this one but... i would say no....

and if manga isnt done which is wayyyy ahead of the anime... what makes u think there is the possibility of anime being done?

i thought it was

because his body was rubber he could pump the blood faster




then after fighting, he had sort of an epiphany and said something along the lines of

"i get it, i know why he's not dead, his whole body is rubber, not just his exterior, his organs can bend and take more punishment from using that technique"




ofc not exactly but it's an estimate of this O_o

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?
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!

manga has another 5+ years easy

it only hurts his body because he wasnt strong enough to use it yet, thats what most techniques will be like.
by this stage he can use gear 2nd for a fair amount of time before it starts damaging his body.

for example using gear second when he is exhausted and injured... well of course, thats going to injure u even more.
but using it when he is in peak condition doesnt effect him at all.

Oh boy i wish this was a little more fast paced

The proof of this situation is against lucci at the very end, he couldn't move his body AT ALL showing that there is risks for gear second, but in my point of view, as long as he is rubber there is nothing to worry about.

i never really kept up. i bailed after ep.127

Yeah well I am re-watching it and I passed it, but if you look further its where the action are more interesting, I suggest you watch the rest
