Gear 5 Luffy may play a big role in the new arc that will start with One Piece Chapter 1058

What did the leaks reveal?

A few hours ago, a leak from the preview of One Piece Chapter 1058 was shared on Twitter by various known leakers. While the leak does not contain any relevant information about the events that will transpire in the chapter, what caught the attention of fans was the appearance of a gigantic Gear 5 Luffy. He is seen using his Gomu-Gomu no Giant, a technique he used to squash Kaido back during their fight in Onigashima.

Now that the adventures of the Straw Hat crew in the Land of Wano have come to an end, fans are waiting for any kind of clues about what may come next. Luffy's appearance in his most powerful transformation in this preview could point to the need of this form in the near future.

Alongside Luffy’s image, there was also a cryptic message that could be interpreted as a hint about the plot of this upcoming arc. The message revealed that the world of One Piece is indeed in chaos, and the Straw Hat crew and their friends are going to an unspecified location.

What could this mean for the future of the franchise?

One Piece Episode 1058 will be the beginning of a new era for the franchise, leaving behind old friends and setting sail towards Laugh Tale. The last few chapters have already established how the world of the series looks before entering this last saga.

Luffy and Sabo have inspired a new generation of revolutionaries who want to take down the World Government. Shanks and many other pirate crews are getting ready to race towards the One Piece. The world is in a state of change, something that will hopefully be explored in depth soon.

The appearance of a Gear 5 Luffy, the only form powerful enough to take Kaido down, could imply that bigger threats are looming over the horizon. The Admirals are still determined to stop Luffy and his crew from reaching the One Piece, so this could be a clue about a second war between Pirates and Marines.

The cryptic message about Luffy and his friends heading towards a mysterious location is most likely implying that the Straw Hat crew still has something to do before arriving at Laugh Tale. Fans are eager to find out what that could be.

The final saga of One Piece's story will soon commence with One Piece Chapter 1058. This new leak did nothing but fan the flames of excitement the community is feeling about this new chapter.

For now, we will have to wait until more spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1058 are made available to the public. Fans can be sure that the connection between the preview and the chapter will become clearer then.
