We’ve seen Luffy uses the Gom Gom on many occasions during ONE PIECE. The power of the devil fruit is now the main weapon of the protagonist, accompanied by the haki. Surely we will strengthen him even more from now until the end of the manga and push the capabilities of his fruit to the limit.
Using the equipment, Luffy pushes the properties of the devil fruit to their limits, expanding his body in various ways. We have therefore seen its limits, however Remember how much the ONE PIECE protagonist can stretch? Eiichiro Oda never answered this question clearly and limited himself to a joke.
In volume 4 of ONE PIECE, in one of the SBS, where the mangaka answers the questions of its readers, this question was asked: how far Luffy’s arms can be extended with Gom Gom? The mangaka replied that the protagonist could extend up to “72 Gom Gom”, which means that the exact unit of measurement is not disclosed. Consequently, it’s hard to understand how much Luffy can stretch with the devil fruit. However, the effects of excessive stretching are known, namely tissue breakdown and widespread pain.
With the release of volume 99, Eiichiro Oda has revealed further secrets with the ONE PIECE SBS.
