He has been able to heavily damage some of the strongest individuals in the series while this technique was active, such as Magellan and Blackbeard. The technique used more oxygen and energy, resulting in him being hungrier and caused him to pant heavily during use. As a result, all of his body parts become stronger and faster. Prior to the timeskip, Luffy would initiate this technique by pumping through his legs to increase the blood flow in all of his body parts. After seeing Luffy use Gear 2 and understanding how it works, Rob Lucci speculated that using this technique would likely reduce his lifespan. This is called Gear Two in the VIZ manga and Second Gear in the official simulcast subs and in the Funimation dub. He developed this ability after encountering CP9 and watching them use Soru. This mode's enhancements to Luffy's physiology giving him the ability to use a new, stronger set of techniques which are generally the same as his old ones but are so fast that even a skilled assassin would have a hard time actually seeing them. Essentially, Luffy increases the blood flow by forcing more blood through his blood vessels thus increase his fighting ability. In Luffy's case, his organs and blood vessels are made of rubber allowing them to expand and contract at greater rates without tearing. Doping is adding more red blood cells to the body part(s), which in turn allows for greater delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body part(s). Lucci, one of the first of Luffy's opponents to witness it, compares the process to doping. The increase in his metabolism causes him to be hungrier than usual or even have a paralysis type effect after prolonged use of it, like in the second fight with Rob Lucci, where Luffy was only able to lie on the floor. The technique uses even more oxygen and energy, using up more food and causing Luffy to pant heavily. This makes him much faster and more powerful. This technique involves Luffy speeding up the blood flow in all or selected body parts, in order to provide them with more oxygen and nutrients.
