ONE PIECE - Luffy - Figure The Future of imagination Last Battle 20cm

This PVC figurine depicts the character Monkey D. Luffy in his Gear 5 form, from theOne Piece manga and anime. This collectible model is produced by Banpresto as part of theIchibansho import range, under theMasterlise Expiece sculpting label.

The character is depicted suspended in mid-air in a dynamic pose reminiscent of a baseball player, legs apart in mid-jump. The sculpture incorporates all his official physical and sartorial characteristics in this form, complemented by specific scene-specific accessories: he wears a red baseball cap marked with the number "56" on the front, and holds a golden baseball bat firmly in his left hand, which also bears the inscription "56". His white hair and the drape of smoke surrounding his torso take the form of stylised clouds. He retains his cross-shaped scar on his chest, his white Bermuda shorts with fleece-lined cuffs, his purple belt and his sandals. The product requires the use of the included transparent support rod to keep his aerial pose stable when on display.

In theOne Piece universe, Gear 5 represents the ultimate stage of Monkey D. Luffy’s Devil Fruit awakening, revealing its true mythological nature: theHito Hito no Mi, Model Nika. Associated with the Sun God, this physical transformation turns the hero’s entire body and clothing white, whilst making his heart beat to the rhythm of the ‘Drums of Liberation’.

This figurine fromThe Future of Imagination - Last Battlecollection illustrates the absolute creative freedom and the burlesque aspect of this power. During the clash on the high-tech island of Egghead against Admiral Kizaru and the CP0, Luffy uses the elastic properties of his body and his surroundings to materialise or interact with objects in the visual style of retro cartoons. The baseball stance, complete with helmet and golden bat bearing the number "56" (which reads "Go-Mu" in Japanese, echoing the original name of his Devil Fruit), captures this unique ability to turn serious confrontations into cartoon scenes.
