One Piece chapter 1092 showcased an exhilarating battle between Luffy and Kizaru in the Egghead Arc, where Luffy reemerged in his Gear 5 form. This form was last witnessed when he confronted Rob Lucci and previously when he fought against the powerful Yonko, Kaido.
Luffy's transformations have always been more than mere power-ups; they serve as inventive ways of utilizing his Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika Devil Fruit abilities. However, the awakening of this particular Devil Fruit exhibited distinct characteristics. The Gear 5 form is deeply intertwined with rich lore, drawing inspiration from the Sun God Nika and revealing that Joy Boy, an enigmatic figure from the Void Century, possessed and awakened the same Devil Fruit nearly 800 years ago.
However, the intrigue surrounding the original user of Luffy's Devil Fruit and the extent of its powers are further heightened in One Piece chapter 1092 by its connection to futuristic technology from the Ancient Kingdom. While the inhabitants of Egghead Island are oblivious to this aspect of the Fruit's capabilities, there is a potential for Vegapunk to uncover it and steer Luffy towards a significant role in the world of One Piece.

Approximately two centuries in the past, Mary Geoise faced an assault from an ancient robot. Sadly, due to a depleted fuel supply, the robot was unable to fulfill its mission. In response, the ruling World Government issued orders for its destruction. However, the inquisitive scientists of that era, intrigued by its origin and intricate mechanisms, chose to preserve it instead.
Vegapunk's ultimate goal was to revolutionize the world through science, offering free energy to all. Despite his brilliance, he struggled to replicate the 900-year-old iron robot's complex power source, leaving him baffled. Determined to eliminate global disputes over natural resources used for energy production, he tirelessly pursued his dream of ending all conflicts.
In the latest One Piece installment, chapter 1092, an intriguing event unfolded as Luffy unleashed his formidable Gear 5 technique. Astonishingly, this unleashed power seemed to rouse the ancient giant robot known as the Drums of Liberation from its dormant slumber. Notably, the robot's eyes bore a striking resemblance to those of Zunesha, who had exhibited a similar reaction upon sensing the presence of Joy Boy in Wano. This uncanny connection has left readers pondering if Joy Boy could potentially be the mysterious energy source Vegapunk had strived to replicate.
In a recent video, YouTuber and One Piece theorist Artur, known as The Library of Ohara, suggests that he still holds the belief that the sun could serve as an inexhaustible source of energy for the ancient world. To activate and control the robot, it is proposed that one would require the use of the Drums of Liberation, as depicted in One Piece chapter 1092. Alternatively, playing a specific rhythm could potentially achieve the same effect.
This theory would provide an explanation for how the robot was awakened and launched its attack two centuries ago. According to Artur, this same rhythm can be found in the song "Binks' Sake," which is why Luffy sang it during his usage of Gear 5 in Wano.
A fellow theorist and content creator, Ohara, who focuses on analyzing the world of One Piece on YouTube, put forth an interesting hypothesis. According to Ohara, the discovery made by Roger on Laugh Tale may have been rendered useless due to the absence of Joy Boy, who possesses the ability to awaken and harness the power of whatever lies hidden on the island. This theory holds considerable plausibility.
Luffy's proclaimed aspiration, which he shared with Kaido prior to their confrontation, is to establish a world without scarcity. This would be a world where his comrades would never have to suffer from hunger. As the champion of liberation, it is only logical that his utmost priority is to emancipate everyone from this basic necessity.
Hence, after the events depicted in chapter 1092 of One Piece, Luffy's next formidable undertaking might not only involve combatting the unjust World Government, but also assuming the role of a perpetual energy source for the world or activating ancient machinery that benefits all, aligning perfectly with Vegapunk's ambitions.
The raw scans of One Piece chapter 1093 have recently been leaked, giving fans a glimpse into an intriguing turn of events in the fierce battle between Gear 5 Luffy and Kizaru. Kizaru surprises Luffy with a new ability, leaving him puzzled, but Luffy manages to respond with something equally fascinating. Fans can look forward to the release of this chapter on September 25, 2023, at 12 am JST.
