"Similarly, your family's captain..."
Kuro looked at Luffy and sneered, "That so-called Gear, the reddening of the body is the result of pumping air into one's rubber body to achieve high-speed blood flow and strengthen the body. It's roughly the level of being able to use the Six Powers proficiently, but that itself is risky. Using it too much will definitely shorten one's lifespan, because a Devil Fruit user is still a Devil Fruit user, a human, not the power itself."
"And that move that enlarges body parts is probably about injecting gas into the gaps between bones, right? Forcibly stretching one's skeletal structure to change the body is something only rubber can do. But the pain and the bone problems caused by prolonged use will also make his body age faster, meaning he won't live long."
"As for the fourth gear, it's even more interesting. It doesn't just expand a part of the body, but it directly compresses the air into all parts of the body, forcibly driving one's internal organs, bones, and blood. Although it can provide a high level of combat power, the side effects are greater than the previous two. If you use it for a long time, you will naturally die faster."
"Finally, regarding your so-called 'Gear 5'... I must mention that you use Life Return very well, even surpassing all those in the Navy and CP who are proficient in Life Return. Relying on this, you are forcibly burning your own life force to achieve the sustainability of the battle, using life force as firewood and yourself as fuel. The fire is lit, but how long can that flame last?"
How old is Luffy?
At most twenty-one, if he didn't rely on this kind of 'life-burning' combat power, his true combat strength, with his current Conqueror's Haki, the highest level of Armament Haki, and almost strong Observation Haki, would make him a hero in the sea, but just a hero, not one of the Four Emperors!
However, once he burns his life force to improve himself and maintains full stamina, relying on his awakened ability to withstand attacks, anyone will be worn down and killed.
Kuro himself was no exception.
But this kind of fate...
How long can it burn?
This guy doesn't have many years left to live!
