Over on Reddit, a set of spoilers for the manga went live, and the fandom started buzzing about its notes on Gear Fourth: Snakeman. A known leaker called Yonkou Production shared their summary of One Piece's new chapter, and it seems everyone's guess about the form was wrong.

According to spoilers, the Snakeman form is simply a leaner version of Gear Fourth's base form. Even Katakuri comments on how similar the power-up looks to Luffy's usual Gear Fourth state, but the captain is not bothered by the critique. After all, Luffy reveals the Snakeman form makes him way faster than he was before. In fact, he becomes so fast that Katakuri has trouble dodging him like usual.

Not only does the speed help Luffy dodge Katakuri, but Snakeman adds to his offense. The form allows Luffy's arms to bend like a snake, making his hits hard to predict and even harder to stop. The move will help Luffy get some good hits in on Katakuri even though the latter's Observation Haki is off the charts. However, the power-up may not be enough to beat the Sweet Commander for good.

Eiichiro Oda's One Piece first began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997. It has been collected into 87 volumes, with a few chapters yet to be included. It has been a critical and commercial success worldwide with many of the volumes breaking printing records in Japan. The manga has even set a Guinness World Record for the most copies published for the same comic book by a single author, and is the best selling manga series worldwide with 430 million copies sold worldwide.
