User blog comment:Guts!/Anime Depiction of Luffy's Gear Second/@comment-5640399-20130528005732

I thought I was pretty up to date with the anime, has something changed? The anime just entered Punk Hazard, so there shouldn't have been any Gear 2nd shots since FI, so do you mean the pink sheen that replaced the old red one from pre-timeskip? If so I think it's meant to show that Gear 2nd doesn't strain Luffy as much anymore. Just be grateful the smoke's not flourescent pink as it is in the movies cos that just looked unhealthy.
