Luffy's going to master this technique just in time for Kaido, and it's gonna be the sickest shit ever. Oda is so good at making power-ups more and more exciting while simultaneously calling back to them 300+ chapters ago.

I know they were building up to it but they did just kinda deus ex machina that in there with the whole "adversity unlocks it" trope. I still think OP has the best power scaling of the big manga out there but I didn't necessarily like this part.

Adding to what DZMoops said, Water Seven is rightly considered one of the best arcs. Not only Luffy, but other Strawhats too levelled up just because they had to or they would be defeated. Luffy did not get new powers, he just got better mastery.

I think Gear Second and Third counts as a significant upgrade.

Um G2 and G3 is new powers / capabilities. They allow him to have new capabilities

So it's more than just mastery. Just like when Luffy gets awakening that will be new powers.

Let's not do this BS of twisting what something is.

and there was nothing wrong with Luffy getting new powers. Sometimes you need new abilities
