Back at the end of July 2023, Bandai Namco revealed One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 DLC would be on the way, with Gear 5 Luffy teased. Now there’s initial footage showing that transformation in-game. It shows what it might be like to fight as him when using those abilities in this Musou installment that pits a player against dozens of enemies.
Here’s the Gear 5 Luffy One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 footage. We don’t actually get to see the effect the attack has on the group of foes ahead of him. Rather, we see him change into that version of himself, laugh, then hop in the air as more opponents appear.

This was actually one of three pieces of footage teased over the past few days. First, the following footage of Luffy using Gum-Gum Red Roc appeared.
Gum-Gum Red Roc is certainly powerful enough to put Kaido in his place, right? #OPPW4 pic.twitter.com/48V3fO5MPn

After that, we got to see him use a Gum-Gum Gatling attack.
