Lucci's statement was a generic observation that the Gear 2nd takes a toll on Luffy's body, it's not like Lucci had a special hindsight allowing him to see how much lifetime people had. Luffy has gained perfect mastery of the Gear 2nd sp there's no drawback anymore, just like he doesn't shrink anymore after using Gear 3rd.
There a over 1 week gap between encounter with Aokiji and first time use Gears so Luffy have time to figure out gear 2 & 3 fighting style but if to bring why he not use it earlier in Galley-la mansion, it might have something to do with said 'character' bothered him a lot enough cause him misfortune streaks (he stuck in between building 3 f ...
Luffy without gear 2nd in wano can 1.blitz to holdem 2.punch the lion 3.free otama 4. appear a distance away. All in an instant. Again, without gear 2nd. Him using gear 2 now is definitely faster than pretimeskip gear 2.
Before Luffy demonstrates Gear 2, he’s talking to Blueno and specifically mentions it was after his fight with Aokiji where he figured out a way to fight. He then introduced Gear 2 and at the end of the fight he was about to introduce Gear 3. Aokiji is the key to Gear 2 and Gear 3.
It is episode 302, at approximately 18:00, Lucci figures out how second gear works and explains it to Luffy along with stating that "it will hasten your death", furthermore in the dub it is translated to "shortening your own life span, just for a few minutes of strength"
Gear 2 uses up a lot of stamina, also making your heart pump blood faster cannot be good for your health. However, post timeskip Luffy actually never (I believe) went in 'full' Gear 2, he concentrates Gear 2 on some part of his body. That's what the anime failed to showcase (and still does).
Gears 2 and 3 are so ingrained in his fighting style that there's no point in making the distinction anymore. Gear 2 isn't treated as a transformation like in pre-ts, and the same goes for gear 3 not being treated as an ultimate attack. Separating Luffy's forms in base, G4 and G5 makes the most sense to me
Consequently this burns fuel much faster, thus the tank will become empty much sooner. Luffy is the same way, Gear second speeds up his entire body and he burns calories and carbohydrates at a heavily accelerated rate, this is partly why he consumes such an ungodly amount of food, where else is he going to get the energy from?
The reason he doesn't suffer the negative effects anymore is because his body can keep up with the technique now. so rest assured. Luffy isn't going to die at age 40 now because he used gear two too much. He'll probably die from overeating or something. TLDR; Gear 2 doesn't half Luffy's lifespan. Just makes him tired.
didnt luffy said he was thinking of a new way to fight after losing to aokiji, i mean from that to enies lobby thats a long time, plus all that shipwright work stations, and i dont think luffy had ever been in a train engine before, heck, i doubt he had ever seen one before, maybe all those things inspired him consciously or unconsciously to use his body as a machine, hence why the term gear ...
