Gear Fourth

I thought I'd take a break from what I was doing before to share my thoughts on what Luffy's much-anticipated Gear Fourth actually is. Considering that Gears Second and Third involve him using his rubbery body in unique ways, no doubt Gear Fourth will follow suit. Then, considering his somehow fiery Red Hawk attack that he inexplicably created as a tribute to Ace, it came to me; Gear Fourth will involve Luffy using this fiery power and the sulfur in his body to vulcanize himself! This will no doubt make his body as tough as it would be if he were using haki, if not tougher. And if he uses this in conjunction with his actual haki, Doflamingo won't even be able to scratch him with those string powers. Another benefit would be that it would make Luffy insanely strong, making a Gomu Gomu no Bazooka feel more like a Gomu Gomu no Warhead. The one trade-off I see of Luffy using this is that it would really limit his stretching ability, and an opponent like Doflamingo would no doubt waste little time exploiting this weakness.

Will this prediction be accurate? Well, I have a good track record so far when it comes to predicting things in One Piece, so here's hoping.
