Flung Mohmoo outisde of Arlong Park, which is a massive Sea Creature) || Multi block level striking strength (Overpowered Crocodile's Desert Spada with a punch) || At least Multi block+, likely Town+ level striking (His strikes hurted Enel more than Wiper's Reject Dial) || At least Multi block+, Town+ striking while using Gear 2 (Could match Lucci blow to blow in his Zoan form), higher with Gear 3 || At least town+ in (millions of tons of strength), likely city with Elephant Gun || Island in Gear 4: BoundMan, higher with King Kong Gun
Attack potency/Destructive capacity:: At least Large Building+ (Far stronger than Nyaban Brothers. Shattered Don Krieg's battle armour, which is far stronger than that of Pearl. Defeated Arlong and destroyed Arlong Park, which is a massive building-like structure, simultaneously) || Multi Block+ (Overpowered Crocodile's Desert Spada, which yeilded this much energy. Raised a portion of city above the underground chamber they where fighting in) || At least Multi block, likely Town+ (Completely overpowered Enel in a single strike and sent him flying while knocking out a huge golden bell in the process) || At least Multi block+ in base (His punches were enough to hurt Blueno while he was using Tekkai.

Range: At least Tens of kilometers
Weaknesses: Cannot swim and becomes immobilized if more than half of his body is covered in water, loses his powers and becomes helpless if more than half of his body is submerged in water. Seastone nullifies his powers. Armament Haki also nullifies his resistance against blunt impact

Noteworthy techniques and abilities
Devil Fruit
Gomu Gomu no Mi (Rubber Rubber Fruit): A Paramecia type Devil Fruit, this fruit turns the user’s body into rubber. The fruit’s major strength, as demonstrated by Luffy, is that the person can stretch their body like rubber at will, and makes them almost entirely immune to blunt attacks. The user’s ability to stretch and twist like rubber to extreme lengths not only makes them immune to injuries that originate from such, but it also allows the user to drastically increase the range of what would otherwise be a powerful close range attack, turning it into a devastating mid range attack. A stretched limb can also be used to store potential energy like a stretched spring, increasing the power of an attack. Owing to rubber’s insulating properties, the user is also highly resistant to electrical attacks
One-Shot Techniques
Gomu Gomu no Pistol: Luffy’s signature attack. A standard straight punch, augmented with stretching. This attack can be used from short to long range.
- Gomu Gomu no Twin Pistol: Luffy punches with both arms simultaneously.
- Gomu Gomu no Pistol Shot: Starts off as an ordinary Pistol attack, after which Luffy “twangs” his stretched arm, causing his fist to connect multiple times.
Gomu Gomu no Bullet: Luffy stretches one arm, far behind him while running, then snaps it back to deliver a short-distance, one-fisted powerful blow to an opponent.
Gomu Gomu no Rifle: Similar to the Gomu Gomu no Bullet, but Luffy twists his arm around as he stretches it behind him and hits the opponent at close range, putting a spin on them.
Gomu Gomu no Bazooka: Luffy stretches both his arms far back, and then hurls them forward, striking his opponent with both simultaneously.
Gomu Gomu no Cannon: Luffy builds up speed with a series of quick jabs, but with none of the punches actually making contact with the target(s) at first, and finishes with a single double-fisted blow similar to Bazooka.
Gomu Gomu no Spear: Luffy joins both of his feet together and kicks it towards his enemy, with his toes acting like a spearhead of a spear.
Gomu Gomu no Leg Sweeper: Luffy stretches his leg and sweeps in a wide circle, allowing him to attack even if his initial kick is dodged, or taking down many opponents in a single strike.
Gomu Gomu no Muchi (Whip): Luffy stretches his leg and kicks in a wide circle, striking multiple foes
Gomu Gomu no Stamp: Luffy stretches his leg out and hits his opponent with the bottom of his foot.
Gomu Gomu no Bell: While latched onto an enemy, Luffy stretches his neck backwards, then snaps it back for a devastating head butt to the opponent's face.
Gomu Gomu no Battle Axe: Luffy stretches one leg high into the air, then brings it crashing down on an opponent or structure, for massive damage, strong enough to destroy large buildings and ships in a single hit.
Gomu Gomu no Sledge-Hammer: Similar to Gomu Gomu no Mallet, but he performs it using the feet and legs instead of hands and arms while in mid-air.
Gomu Gomu no Buzzsaw: Luffy grabs his opponent from afar with both arms and winds himself up like with a bow gun. He then kicks off from the ground and spins towards his opponent to deliver a powerful head butt.
Rapid-Fire Techniques
Gomu Gomu no Gatling: Using his stretching capacity to drastically augment the speed at which he brings his fists back and forth, Luffy launches torrent of consecutive punches at super high speeds. The hits land so fast that dozens of punches appear to connect simultaneously.
Gomu Gomu no Storm: Luffy first uses Gomu Gomu no Balloon and twists his body around tightly, then blows the air out behind him while untwisting to fly in forward while spinning towards an opponent, where he delivers a constant barrage of powerful punches similar to Gomu Gomu no Gatling, with power greatly enhanced by the momentum of his launch
Other Techniques
Gomu Gomu no Rocket: Luffy’s main method of traveling long distances fast. He stretches out one of his arms or both and grabs a handhold, then retracts them, projecting himself high into the air at high speeds, over great distances, or even into an opponent.
Gomu Gomu no Pinwheel: A technique luffy used to fling Momoo out of Arlong Park. Luffy planted his feet into the ground to steady himself, then twisted his body around tightly. He then grabbed hold of Arlong's pet Momoo and unwound, spinning him rapidly to crush the Fish-Men surrounding him. After spinning around several times, Luffy then let go of Momoo and threw him far away. While it took out most of Arlong's Fish-Men, it however had the disadvantage of getting Luffy's feet stuck in the ground.
Gomu Gomu no Shield: Luffy grabs the fingers of one hand with the other, and stretches them before his face to block blades that pass between the fingers
Gomu Gomu no Net: Luffy entwines his fingers making a net like shape and then stretches out his fingers making a larger net in an attempt to trap his opponents.
Gears
Gear Second: Luffy pumps his blood rapidly with his legs to kick start the process which in turn, increases the speed of his blood flow, thus providing more oxygen and nutrients to various parts of his body which makes him faster and much stronger. It uses even more oxygen and energy, hence using up more food and he has to breathe harder. The increase in his metabolism causes him to be hungrier than usual or even a paralytic type effect after a long usage of it. Can be used to achieve a full body effect, or an effect on any single area of his body (e.g. the arm). The techniques in this mode are basically the same as the regular attacks, but greatly augmented by his enhanced attack speed and, consequently, attack power. The known Gear Second specific techniques are listed below.
- Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol: An upgraded version of Gomu Gomu no Pistol. He punches so fast that the fist's movement is invisible, and it truly seems like he shoots his opponent. The incredible speed both makes the strike far more powerful, and harder to dodge.
Gear Third: Luffy pumps air through his bones to make them gigantic. This gives his arm more mass and a larger area to attack with far greater strength. Previously Luffy turned into a chibi form after canceling the technique but after the timeskip he no longer shrinks in size. The techniques in this mode are basically the same as the regular attacks, but greatly augmented by his increased mass and power.
