CATDOLL: Plot gap in One Piece: When did Luffy learn how to open the file?

The comic "One Piece" has been serialized for nearly 20 years. The protagonists have experienced various battle upgrades, and everyone's combat power has also soared. Among them, the most talked about is probably Luffy's opening gear. In fact, for the author Oda, I am afraid that he did not expect Luffy's subsequent combat power growth to be reflected in this form at the beginning. In fact, many fans may find that in the comics, it is not clearly written when Luffy learned the skill of opening gear. However, now Luffy has opened to the fourth gear, and now some netizens have begun to discuss when Luffy learned to open the gear?

Netizen’s opinion: I recently rewatched One Piece, and it felt like Luffy just suddenly mastered the skill of opening the gauntlet. There was no reflection of this in the work at all. If it was Zoro who had tried to practice the camera many times, then it would be easier to understand that he mastered the new skill. But Luffy just ate and drank all day long, and there was no sign of any practice. So this skill that seemed to be mastered suddenly made me feel full of disobedience. What do you think?

Netizen's opinion: If we have to give a timeline, then the period after Luffy's fight with Usopp is more likely. Because Luffy was in a bad mood at the time, it was impossible for him to continue eating and drinking. And he had to ask the navy to get Robin back, which must have been very stressful. So he slowly developed the technique of opening the file.

Netizen's opinion: I think it's not that Luffy didn't practice, but that Oda didn't draw it. In fact, few readers nowadays are willing to see a few months of plots just about practice, right? Instead of depicting practice, it's better to add more adventure scenes, which can satisfy readers.

Netizen's opinion: I guess Oda himself is afraid to draw the training content. If he draws the training part, I don't know when he can finish the work. And I think the skill of opening the file does not require any training. After all, it is a skill that only Luffy can master. He must have understood it after understanding his own body. In comparison, the flying kick that can produce fire from the chef is strange...even the basic laws of physics are missing.

Netizens' opinions: You think too much. I feel that the first gear was just a sudden inspiration for Luffy. He thought this trick could be tried, but he didn't expect it to work. In fact, although Luffy seems to be stupid, he often has a brilliant idea in battle. Of course, after the first gear, Luffy should have trained well, otherwise it would be unlikely for him to use skills above the second gear. This should be the content that Oda did not have time to draw.

Netizen's opinion: I am actually more concerned about the side effects of opening the gear. Doesn't it say that using skills above the second gear will shorten lifespan? But so far, there is no sign that Luffy's lifespan has been shortened. In addition, Luffy and his crew have been at sea for a long time, and the comics only tell a small part of the fierce battle. Therefore, Luffy should have worked hard in places we can't see.
