One Piece Episode 1072 spoilers

Here’s a teaser for One Piece Episode 1072

The upcoming episode, titled “The Ridiculous Power! Gear Five in Full Play” will continue the fight between Luffy and Kaido. Kaido notices that Luffy has been able to awaken his devil fruit. However, his transformation signifies the awakening of a Zoan-type devil fruit, not a Paramecia. However, Luffy is too excited to have a proper conversation with Kaido.

He quickly goes on the offensive and overpowers Kaido. Luffy lets Kaido eat him and transforms the latter’s body into rubber before escaping. One Piece Episode 1072 will also feature Luffy taking on a giant form and using Kaido as a jump rope. Kaido uses his Blast Breath, which seriously angers Luffy.

The Emperor comments that Luffy’s actions are something out of a comic book. Luffy reaches his limit pretty quickly and gets incredibly pale. Even if it’s for a brief moment, he looks like an old man with wrinkles. However, by adjusting his heartbeat to the same rhythm as the Drums of Liberation, Luffy transforms into Gear 5 again.
