Theory: 4 Reasons Luffy May No Longer Need to Use Gear 4 One Piece
When Luffy fought Rob Lucci in Egghead One Piece, he didn’t use Gear 4. He immediately jumped using Gear 5, and outperformed Lucci.
Maybe Luffy really doesn’t need to use Gear 4 One Piece anymore. Here are some reasons!
1. Luffy might be able to use Gear 4 techniques in his Gear 5 form
Luffy can freely change his form while in Gear 5.
He could even instantly become a giant if he wanted to.
Logically, he might be able to use Gear 4’s unique techniques in his Gear 5 form, given how freely Luffy changes his form in Gear 5.
If it’s true that Luffy can do that, then he doesn’t need to use Gear 4 and just jump to Gear 5.

2. Gear 5 has a weakness… but can Luffy just force himself to keep fighting?
Gear 4 has a weakness, namely when the duration runs out Luffy will be exhausted and unable to use Haki for 10 minutes.
This weakness actually feels less and less seen the more often Luffy uses Gear 4, but there are still situations like in chapter 1003 where Luffy collapses and is temporarily unable to use Haki. That was a problem, because at that time Luffy and some of the Worst Generation were fighting Kaido and Big Mom.
Gear 5 also has a real weakness. Luffy can get exhausted when using it, and then become like an old man when the effect wears off.
But while Luffy is unable to use Haki for a few minutes when Gear 4 wears out, in chapter 1045 we see an exhausted Luffy is able to transform again into Gear 5 by making his heart beat to the rhythm of the Drums of Liberation. Then he was ready to face Kaido again.
Maybe this Gear 5 weakness has an effect we don’t know about, but it seems that even if Gear 5 runs out, Luffy can force himself to return to that form.
3. If Luffy wants to save energy, he can just use Gear 2 and Gear 3
If Luffy wants to save energy, don’t carelessly use Gear 5, the solution isn’t to use Gear 4.
He can focus on only using Gear 2 and Gear 3, not Gear 4 (which can hamper Luffy).
Luffy’s Gear 2 and Gear 3 are enough to take down many enemies in One Piece now. Remember, he is able to amplify his attacks with Haoshoku Haki.
Only when the enemy is unable to overcome Gear 2 and Gear 3, Luffy can immediately jump to Gear 5.

4. Gear 5 itself is Luffy’s strongest form
Luffy can beat Kaido in his Gear 5 form.
When Gear 5 Luffy fought Lucci at Egghead, Lucci even struggled to hit Luffy, while Luffy was able to attack Lucci with creative techniques.
In a serious battle, it is more logical for Luffy to just use his strongest form.
So, those are four reasons why Luffy may no longer need to use Gear 4 in One Piece.
