Hello to you all! Forzarismo here with a not-really chapter of The Rubbery Vengeance! This chapter is more of like an explanation as to what Rubbery Vengeance Luffy is capable of since many of you want to know what he currently able to do. I know he's as OP as Luffy can get, but even so, I hope you all continue to enjoy reading this fanfic. It really keeps my spirits up whenever I read a review or PM coming from you all.
Also! The Rubbery Vengeance has its own TV Tropes page, but theres only a few stuff added in there. So I'd really appreciate it if some of you took some of your time to update it a bit. I really appreciate it. Now onto the current story stats!

Abilities & Techniques
Rokushiki: The Rokushiki, also known as the Six Powers, is a special, superhuman martial arts style famously known for being used by those who work in CP9. Of course there are many out there who know some of the techniques through various means. During his time stuck in Raftel, Luffy trained in this martial arts as a way to help fight his depression while was stuck there in his original timeline. Eventually, Luffy had not only learned, but also mastered all forms of the Rokushiki, including the incredibly deadly Rokuogan. After Luffy had eaten the Atom-Atom Fruit, he has further improved the usefulness and deadliness of his techniques.
-Soru: By using the Atom-Atom Fruit to remove wind resistance, Luffy's soru technique is capable of moving even faster, and combined with Gear Second, allows Luffy to go across miles upon miles in mere seconds.
-Geppou: The Atom-Atom Fruit allows Luffy to completely solidify the air under his feet, thereby improving his speed and maneuverability in the sky immensely.
-Tekkai: The Atom-Atom Fruit allows Luffy to completely solidify (or in better terms make his atoms lose all energy, thereby making the atoms in his body unable to move.) his body, hardening it to the point that it would be nigh-impenetrable except for a few cases.
-Kami-e: The Atom-Atom Fruit improves upon this technique by turning Luffy's body into a hybrid state between solid, liquid, and gas, thereby making him more flexible and making it more easier for Luffy to dodge attacks. It's further improved by using the atoms in the surrounding area as a way of clairvoyance to Luffy's body so to help Luffy's body prepare for incoming attacks.
-Rankyaku: The Atom-Atom Fruit has not only improved the sharpness, and potential destruction of Rankyaku, but it's speed as well. By encasing Rankyaku in self-disintegrating atoms, it allows Rankyaku to cut through virtually anything as long as it's made of atoms as well as destroying wind resistance, allowing it to move faster than intended.
-Shigan: Same, as the rankyaku, the Atom-Atom Fruit improves piercing by encasing his finger with self-disintegrating atoms, further improving speed and deadliness.
-Rokuogan: By far the one technique most improved upon by the Atom-Atom Fruit, the rokuogan literally becomes a one-hit kill attack. He's capable of using it two ways, the first way is by turning every single atom with the rokuogan's range into self-disintegrating atoms that pierce anything within it's range with extreme force, essentially making it a mini nuclear fission cannon that destroys anything in its path with incredible ease and efficiency.
The second method that Luffy is capable of using the rokuogan is similar to the first one, except instead of turning every single atom in the rokuogan's range into self-disintegrating atoms, he fuses the atoms until they are capable of holding high amounts of gamma radiation, before splitting them again and aiming gamma radiation-filled rokuogan at his enemies. They are blasted with so much gamma radiation, that within minutes, they'll experience neurological damage, severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, dizziness, headaches, and loss of control of voluntary muscle functions before succumbing to unconsciousness. Further things that can happen are seizures, ataxia, and gangrene towards the most affected area before the victim succumbs to his injuries within a 12 hour period. If they somehow survive the attack, they'll be left permanently disabled along with completely destroying their DNA, which will most likely leave them with mutations throughout their body for the rest of their life.
Haki: Haki is a mysterious power that is found in every living being in the world. It is not that different from the normal senses. However, most people do not notice it or fail to awaken it. Throughout his adventure, Luffy had mastered all three forms of haki: Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki. His use of Observation Haki only improved when he ate the Atom-Atom Fruit, improving it by giving him extreme amounts of detail to what's around him.
Gum-Gum Fruit: The Gum-Gum Fruit is Luffy's signature devil fruit power that is famously known for. This particular devil fruit is a Paramecia-Class devil fruit that grants the user the ability to stretch like rubber. While at first glance, this devil fruit might seem pathetic to those with no imagination, Luffy is capable of using this power to do feats that would usually be deemed impossible by human standards. Since he is made of rubber, his body is almost entirely immune to blunt attacks including hand-to-hand combat, bullets or even cannonballs, an ability which can be further reinforced with the application of Armament Haki. Thanks to Luffy's own creativity both in and out of combat, this fruit has consistently proven itself to be among the most formidable, versatile, and unpredictable within the Paramecia class. Luffy's rubber-like body allows him to survive falls and collisions that would normally kill a person. His body is also capable of withstand great amounts of pressure, shown when he fought Hody Jones underwater. Though he was still weakened by the water, his body was seemingly unaffected by the intense water pressure coming from the deep part of the ocean. As a side-note, this devil fruit also seemed to have granted Luffy eternal youth and also inhibited brain growth, before being fixed when Luffy accidentally ate the Atom-Atom Fruit.
Luffy's ability to stretch and twist like rubber to extreme lengths not only makes him immune to injuries that originate from such, but it also allows him to even rebound, that can give him a great advantage in or out of battle. Stretching also allows the user to drastically increase the range of what would otherwise be considered a powerful close-range attack, turning it into a devastating mid-range or long-range attack. A stretched limb can also be used to store potential energy like a stretched spring, increasing the velocity by stretching his arm back resulting in increased power. Combined with Haki, his power is increased even more. Because of his rubber-like insulating properties, he is immune to electrical attacks and is the counter towards Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Before, Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit required him to use excessive motion to 'throw' an attack. However, after many years of honing his use of the Gum-Gum Fruit, this is no longer a problem.
By training his abilities, Luffy has found unexpected ways to increase his fighting ability, such as the ability to stretch his blood vessels wider to increase the speed of his blood flow in order to become faster and stronger, at a cost of depleting his body's energy at a faster rate. Furthermore, with the application of Haki, he is even capable of igniting a limb for an even more devastating attack. Luffy can even inflate his bones to increase the volume of his body and significantly increase his attacks, at the cost of his body becoming smaller for a short period of time, although after the timeskip Luffy has seemingly been able to overcome this weakness as after he used "Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun" on the Kraken and he did not revert to his smaller size afterwards.
The fruit enables all parts of the consumer's body to behave like rubber, including organs. As such, Luffy has a bigger appetite than the average human, eating more than anyone else in his crew and always digesting it before anyone else is hungry again.
Originally, this devil fruit had disadvantages such as being hurt when cut or stabbed, being vulnerable to attacks when he's stretched his limbs to their utmost limits, and having limited ability to move in mid-air. However, due to a mixture of mastering his devil fruit power, learning new techniques, and eating the Atom-Atom Fruit this is no longer a problem. He has three known techniques that grant him different ways as to how he uses his devil fruit power: Gear, Second, Gear Third, and Gear Fourth.
-Gear Second: Gear Second is a technique Luffy developed that improves his speed, strength, and mobility. At first, it left him completely drained as it shortened his lifespan and exhausted his energy very fast. However, after perfecting the technique, this is no longer a problem. Thanks to this newfound control over his technique, Luffy now has the ability to select which body parts Gear Second will be active in, instead of having to activate it in his entire body.
-Gear Third: Gear Third is a technique Luffy developed when pure power is needed over everything else. Gear Third is generally used when raw physical strength is needed, the bones are the key difference between this form and his old "Gum-Gum Balloon" move, where his balloon form was soft and squishy like a regular balloon, whereas the inflated bones are very hard, similar to an inflated car tire. Unlike the normal Gum-Gum Balloon technique, bullets ricochet off of Gear Third instead of bouncing off. The bones being much harder also mean a lot of compression of air takes place when using Gear Third, making Gear Third not just a "for-show" move as Lucci initially thought, but like a giant mace of astounding mass when used in attacks. Because of Luffy's raw strength, he is able to move his gigantic arm with ease. In between his attacks, Luffy brings the air back to his chest and then shifts it into another body part. The downside is, the lag time in which it takes Luffy to transfer and re-channel the amount of air trapped inside his bones can be very disadvantageous.
After the timeskip, as with Gear Second, Luffy seems to have obtained better skill at utilizing Gear Third. Previously, Gear Third would increase the size of the majority of Luffy's arm, thus reducing the speed of the attack in exchange for a powerful impact. However, Luffy after two years can seemingly control where the air is stored within his limbs, where his fist becomes large and instead of the air being equally distributed throughout his arm, an equivalently large mass forms behind the fist. This allows a majority of Luffy's arm to remain as it is, permitting him to stretch it, thus allowing him to attack and withdraw much faster than pre-timeskip. The Atom-Atom Fruit further improves this by giving him the capability to compress all of that mass into a much smaller point, allowing Luffy to increase the amount of force and concentrated energy of an attack into a smaller area, inherently making his Gear Third techniques many times more dangerous.
-Gear Fourth: In many ways, this can be considered a fusion of both Gear Second and Gear Third. Luffy's proportions become warped and his body becomes much larger in size, with his arms, upper torso, and legs coated in Busoshoku Haki. The coating across his torso resemble the wispy ends made from flames, giving it the appearance of tattoos, and he gains shading around the inner and outer edges of his eyes. He also physically grows taller, standing around 4 meters tall. Similar to when using Gear Second, Luffy is continuously emitting steam in this form. As a side-effect, he is incapable of standing still on the ground, and instead constantly bounces on the spot. This form was created in order to combat the many powerful and large animals on Rusukaina. This form is based on the fierce guardian entity called the Nio Statue, which fits well with Luffy's will to protect his crewmates with his life and beyond. It also resembles his appearance when he became Nightmare Luffy (except for the hardened Armament Haki 'tattoos', the enlarged biceps and a more rounded torso) due to Luffy's increased muscle size, haircut's shape and sinister expression.
While Luffy is using Gear Fourth, his physical strength and speed are increased to the point where he is able to overwhelm a member of the Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo, whereas before, Gear Second's lack of strength and Gear Third's lack of speed were ineffective in the fight. Unlike the previous forms, Gear Fourth focuses on compression more than stretching. While the compression grants Luffy's moves overwhelming speed and power, the range of his attacks is severely decreased. For example, the Gum-Gum Bazooka is a technique that Luffy has proven he can execute over varying distances, but due to needing to actually compress his fists for the Leo Bazooka, it required him to be right in front of Doflamingo. When the latter unveils his Devil Fruit Awakening, Luffy expresses his annoyance at his difficulty getting close to the Shichibukai. However, he can still deliver long-ranged attacks by stretching the part of the body he wants to attack with while retaining great power and speed, as his body is still greater in size and covered in Armament Haki. Luffy also shows a much more versatile side of the Gum-Gum Fruit's powers by changing the direction of his attacks mid-strike, by bouncing off the air, to hit a moving opponent without losing momentum.
According to Doflamingo, the power of Luffy's attacks is greatly magnified in this form. His durability is also enhanced: despite being hardened with Armament Haki, his body is still rubbery, so physical blows (even ones enhanced with Armament Haki) simply bounce off of him. This form, much like Gear Second, seems to utilize the principles of Rokushiki. It possesses both high speed movement reminiscent of Soru and the ability to kick off the air, similar to Geppou, cleverly adapted to work even better with his body's elasticity: Luffy not only bounces off the air, but allows attacks to bounce off his own body. His body is also now strong enough to defend against cutting attacks head-on.
However, there appears to be a limit to how long Luffy can keep Gear Fourth active. Once this limit is reached, Gear Fourth is automatically deactivated, leaving Luffy exhausted and barely able to move. He is also left unable to use Haki for ten minutes after using this technique as it quickly depletes his Haki reserves. Even afterwards, Gear Fourth is extremely taxing on Luffy's body and stamina; after regaining his Haki from using Gear Fourth once, he barely had enough strength left to fight back.
Atom-Atom Fruit: The Atom Atom Fruit is a Logia-Class devil fruit that grants Luffy complete control over all atoms in his area. The Atom-Atom Fruit is one of the most dangerous devil fruit abilities available as it essentially allows the user to have control over atoms which are essentially the building blocks of everything on the planet. It allows Luffy to be able to create things out of the atoms around him by changing the atom's element to the necessary one by breaking them down and re-creating the new elemental atoms he needs.
He is capable of augmenting his attacks and techniques with this devil fruit power, increasing the amount of power or versatility his techniques could have. Since he's made out of atoms, he is capable of nullifying every single material-based logia's defences without the use of haki and deal much more damage than usual, making Luffy the perfect counter for these kind of logia users. Logias such as Smoker, Crocodile, Akainu, Aokiji, Gasparde, Caribou, Monet, Caesar Clown, and Neos would be susceptible to this ability. However, energy-based logia's such as Enel, Ace, and Kizaru are immune to Luffy's Atom-Atom Fruit enhanced attacks unless Luffy infused Armament Haki with into his attacks. Likewise, Luffy is immune to almost all material based logia attacks with the exception being Neos' Water-Water Fruit if he is successfully hit by one of their attacks. Also, while he can weaken the effects of energy-based logia attacks, he can't stop them completely unless he creates a shield that can deal with the attack.
Luffy also has the ability to create whatever he wants, though it takes more energy to create something ridiculously complex such as trees and animals. He is also capable of modifying structures by either shrinking or growing it's size proportionally by continuously adding atoms into the structure, or by expanding or compressing their forms, making use of only the atoms that make up that structure. Since he has complete control over all atoms in his reach, he is also capable of some form of flight and telekinesis. Since his body is constantly replacing atoms, he gains some form of immortality, that while he can still be killed in a fight, he will no longer die of old age or disease.
-Atom Shield: A transparent disk appears in front of Luffy that will disintegrate anything that hits it as long as it has atomic sustenance.
-Atom Bubble: An upgrade to the Atom Shield. While it is more taxing on Luffy than the Atom Shield, it completely protects him and whoever else is in the bubble from harm that can be coming from any direction. While in this bubble, Luffy can control it as if it were a vehicle.
-Atomic Structure Analysis: By Luffy putting his hand on an object and sending out harmless atomic waves, he has the entire atomic structure engraved into his mind and learns of it's imperfections. The more complex the object is, the longer and more energy it requires for Luffy completely grasp his analysis.
-Atomic Restoration: A follow-up of Atomic Structure Analysis. Once he has found all of the imperfections in an object, Luffy is able to change any irregularities into a 'perfect' state. Current examples includes fixing Coby's eyes and removing the Hoof of the Flying Dragon from the backs of the Boa Sisters. Like Atomic Structure Analysis, this technique requires more energy the more complex an object is. As such, it would be much easier for Luffy to restore a 1000m*1000m*1000m cube of gold back to perfection than a human body.
-Atomic Size(Increase & Decrease): Allows Luffy to either increase or decrease the size of an object proportionally by continuously adding or subtracting atoms from the object. This allows the object to maintain the same density as it had before as well as its strength.
-Atomic Expansion & Compression: Similar to the Atomic Size(Increase & Decrease), Atomic Expansion & Compression also allows Luffy to change the size of an object, but it will still retain the same amount of mass, and therefore atoms. By doing so, he can shrink a massive object like a mountain to the size of a coin, increasing the density of the mountain to the point that it will start attracting objects that are far away from it. He can also do the opposite by expanding the atoms' distance away from each other that the mountain can end up being less dense than helium. Using this technique, he is capable of creating mini black holes as well as super-dense projectiles that due to it's density can become destructive kinetic missiles.
-Atom Cannon: Luffy's trademark Atom-Atom Fruit attack. This attack is essentially a beam made of self-disintegrating atoms that can pierce through almost anything. Despite it being an incredibly destructive move, it requires little of Luffy's energy, thereby allowing Luffy to spam the everlasting shit out of it. He can also expand the width of his attack to engulf more things, but like everything, it requires more energy from Luffy to do so.
-Atomic Conversion: This technique allows Luffy to change the elements of the atoms to the ones he wants. For example, he can turn oxygen into gold, but this requires Luffy to disassemble the atoms around him in order to do this.
-Atomic Creation: A step above Atomic Conversion, where the altered atoms are used to create something. An example of this would be when Luffy created a miniature statue of Nami made entirely of diamond. This technique somewhat crosses the line with Atomic Restoration as he can regrow the limbs and organs of his allies should they need it when they're severely wounded.
-Atom Bomb: Do I really need to explain this?
-Supernova: By supercharging atoms into a plasma state of matter along with continuously compressing the atoms, Luffy can essentially create mini star that will explode, annihilating whatever is in it's path. A side effect to this technique is that it will create a 'solar wind' that will continue on for many, many more miles, further destroying what's in its path. This is by far the most destructive technique that Luffy as available, and as such, will leave him severely fatigued and weakened.
Pistol Proficiency: Luffy gained a pistol from Franky as a gift for his birthday and cherishes almost as much as he cherishes his hat. Over the amount of time he has owned the pistol, he has gained a great proficiency with it as he is great shot with it, capable of holding his own even against master gunslingers.
Immense Strength: Luffy's body is quite a strange one. Even before he began his first journey, he has had inhuman strength that has increased exponentially over the course of his life. His Atom-Atom Fruit powers augmented this further by giving him the body that he would have had if the Gum-Gum Fruit didn't hinder his growth, thereby improving his strength enormously.
Immense Agility: Thanks to many techniques he knows along with the fact that both devil fruits that he has eaten helped improve his speed to the point that can literally run many times the speed of sound, allowing him to cover great distances in a matter of minutes or hours depending on how far his destination is.
Immense Durability: Ever since the day he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, Luffy has literally become a tank capable of taking enough damage to kill a thousand people without feeling winded. This is further improved by his new and improved body, techniques, haki, and the Atom-Atom Fruit.
Combat-Evolving Mind: Even before Luffy ate the Atom-Atom Fruit, he has the mental capacity to adapt in any fighting situation in order to gain the advantage against his opponent. This has since improved ever since he has eaten the Atom-Atom Fruit, allowing his brain to think much faster than before along with the fact that Luffy's mind has matured.
Unbreakable Will: Sometimes, it's all that Luffy needs to beat someone down for good. Due to his headstrong nature along with having Conqueror's Haki, Luffy's will has gotten stronger than ever. Of course it weakened when he lost everything, but the moment he had a second chance, his will became stronger than ever. whenever he doesn't have enough strength to keep going, his will shall continue the work for him.
So that's all I have for what Luffy himself is capable of at the moment. What do you guys think? Was there anything I missed? Please tell me so I can update this chapter for any false information and such.
Thank you all for reading and make sure you all favorite, follow, and review! As I always say, keep sending in those reviews, they always brighten up my spirits and may you fantastic individuals have a great day!
