=== These are built directly from the math we just did. ===

==== Peak destructive output (Gear 5, Bajrang Gun-level strikes): ====
* Range: - Conservative: ∼1017−18 J\sim 10^{17-18}\ \text{J}∼1017−18 J - High-end toon-boosted: ∼1018−19 J\sim 10^{18-19}\ \text{J}∼1018−19 J

Interpretation:
* Solidly continental, with room to argue multi-continental scaling for maximum Gear 5 windups and toon-boosts.
* Scales from: - “Bajrang Gun” arm KE (giant, ~km-scale fist moving at several km/s+). - Island-level+ feats like King Kong Gun and Dressrosa-level destruction. - Kaido durability scaling — repeatedly damaging the world’s “Strongest Creature.”

==== Types considered: Reaction, combat, and burst speed. ====

===== - Baseline: bullet- to lightning-class reactions from pre-Gear 4/5. =====
* With Future Sight (Advanced Observation Haki): - Functionally precognitive—Luffy sees attacks before they happen. - Physically, that maps to effective reaction capacity in the range: - 104–105 m/s10^4\text{–}10^5\ \text{m/s}104–105 m/s (Mach 30–300 equivalent, but with precog layered on top).

===== From Snakeman/gear scaling + toon-force: =====
* Typical Gear 5 striking speed: - ∼2×104→8×104 m/s\sim 2\times10^{4} \rightarrow 8\times10^{4}\ \text{m/s}∼2×104→8×104 m/s - Mach ~60–230

===== When Luffy fully abuses cartoon elasticity and inertia-breaking: =====
* Bursts can be reasonably set around: - ∼0.1c≈3×107 m/s\sim 0.1c \approx 3\times 10^{7}\ \text{m/s}∼0.1c≈3×107 m/s (relativistic fraction)
* These are not his every-move speed, but his top-end “serious mode” blitz actions.

==== Physical / Blunt Durability ====
* Endures: - Thunder Bagua and advanced Conqueror’s Haki attacks from Kaido. - Boro Breath (dragon flame blast that can obliterate large island sections). - Repeated island-shaking clashes over an extended fight.
* Elasticity reduces effective stress on tissues. Rubber body + Haki hardening dramatically raise his tolerance to blunt trauma.

Durability Tier:
* Able to tank and recover from attacks in the same continental-ish ballpark as his own AP, with rubber elasticity and Haki combining for: - Extremely high resistance to crushing, impact, and concussive forces.
* Vulnerability is higher to piercing / cutting than to blunt, though Advanced Armament and Conqueror’s coating mitigate this.

==== - Luffy can: - Fight prolonged high-end battles (vs Katakuri, vs Kaido) lasting dozens of minutes to hours with only intermittent downtime. - Push his body past normal limits repeatedly, collapsing, then rising again through willpower and food recovery. ====
* Drawback: Gear 5 taxes his stamina heavily—he burns through his energy rapidly and can become aged/exhausted when overusing it. But: - He has shown the ability to re-enter Gear 5 after resting or reigniting his spirit.

Summary:
* Stamina: Extremely high, but peak form has a heavy energy drain that demands decisive action.

==== Luffy’s “hax” are almost entirely physical and Haki-based, but extremely potent: ====

===== - Rubberized body with absurd elasticity and stretch. =====
* Can impart rubber properties to the environment and other objects (turns ground, lightning, etc. into rubber).
* Toon-physics manipulation: - Squash/stretch body shape freely. - Giant form, flat form, balloon form, etc. - Momentum-defying rebounds, comedic impact redirection.

===== - Advanced Observation (Future Sight): - Sees a short timeframe into the future — near-perfect precognitive dodge potential. =====
* Advanced Armament (Ryou/Internal Destruction): - Bypasses external armor/defense and damages internal structures. - Works at a short range without direct physical contact.
* Advanced Conqueror’s Haki (ACoC): - Coats his attacks with overwhelming dominant will. - Massive multiplier on AP. - Clashes with other Conqueror users create shockwaves over huge distances.

Net effect:
* Luffy is exceptionally dangerous to durable opponents due to internal damage and hax-like blunt negation through toon physics.

==== - Highly adaptive brawler: - Learns opponent attack patterns mid-fight. - Evolves strategy during battle—strong improviser. ====
* Creative move-set: - Uses environment (walls, ground, buildings) as trampolines and weapons. - Rapid style switching (Boundman, Snakeman, Tankman → Gear 5’s freer form).
* Strategic thinker in battle: - Exploits openings in even more skilled foes (Katakuri, Kaido). - Combines Haki types layered onto his Devil Fruit powers for multiplicative effects.

==== - Versatility: - Mid- to close-range specialist; limited true long-range, but Gear 5 stretch can hit across large areas. - Environmental manipulation via rubberization gives partial battlefield control. ====
* Morale & Willpower: - Extremely difficult to “mentally break” — the stronger the enemy, the more fired up he becomes. - Will regain consciousness or re-enter battle beyond expected physical limits.
* Weaknesses/Limitations (in absolute terms): - Devil Fruit vulnerability to drowning/sea. - Gear 5 severe stamina cost. - Less effective against precise cutting or piercing compared to blunt. - No inherent resistance to exotic hax outside of Haki/physical resistance (e.g., no conceptual negation, no sealing, no reality-busting beyond toon-physics flavor).

==== Peak Luffy (Gear 5 / Nika) at a glance: ====
* Attack Potency: 1018−19 J10^{18-19}\ \text{J}1018−19 J (Continent → Multi-Continent)
* Speed: Relativistic bursts (~0.1c), with regular combat actions in the 20,000–80,000 m/s range and Future Sight boosting effectiveness.
* Durability: Can withstand repeated continent-level blunt attacks, with rubber body + Haki greatly lowering damage from impacts.
* Stamina: Immense; Gear 5 is costly but can be re-entered with rest.
* Hax: Toon-physics body + world rubberization, Advanced Observation/Armament/Conqueror’s Haki, internal destruction.
* Skill: Elite adaptive brawler with multi-Haki integration and creative use of environment.
* Versatility: High within the domain of physical/Haki combat, but minimal non-physical hax.

Phase 3 complete for Luffy.
