So it seems like Luffy needs Gear 4 to "defeat" a Number. Given there's 10 of these guys total, and one already got back up, they're definitely a problem as well.
Also doesn't this basically confirm Gear 5 since Luffy seems to have now mastered Gear 4?
yes, he said it two weeks ago in the writers' comment section of jump

It's a mega-arc. Many predicted it would be required to be at least 120 chapters back in Zou to do what it needs to do for the broader story, and it hasn't hit that min. length yet.
Given the new Haki training, does luffy need to worry about powering down for 10 minutes after changing to base form? He's been flexing gear 4 lately, like just going in and out of it with no issue.
Do you guys have the last two pages of Chapter 991 in english? I can only find them in low resolution. They were supposed to be the best part of the chapter.

>an arc like this NEEDS to be fucking long Why? What has Oda done with the chapters so far? He spent all that time propping up the wrong villain just to write him out once the fighting started.
This, how the heck is a guy who can cut fire cutting fire?

I'm not saying he's dead. I'm saying he was written out of the fighting. Even if he comes back Kaido already severed any emotional payoff we'd get from the scabbards ending him.
