this piece was ROUGH but i slapped it together in the end. I have so many side things i want to do, and like 4 hyperfixations. anyway, protocol has a grip on me so have a proper jon fanart to silence my worms :))
thinking about how gear 5 grants Luffy an entirely different dimension of freedom
i'm talking about the fact that the nature of his devil fruit lets him break out of what's commonly expected from the Japanese animation style, how his rubber body lets him bring in the "squash and stretch" principle from cartoons in a way that makes sense to the story and it's just. too. damn. good.
in other words: Luffy is free in every sense of the word and I'm crying over it
