User blog comment:Ricizubi/Luffy's Evolution and why becoming pirate king is going to be quite a storytelling challenge/@comment-32382719-20180422133535

Luffy is at least admiral level since he defeated Katakuri. I thought Luffy only one more gear left which is gear 5th and he will absolutely awaken it against Kaido but it's not gonna be strong enough to beat Kaido. I have a feeling Moria will appear in wano considering his history with Kaido. It would be interesting if he helps Luffy by giving him nightmare which makes Nightmare Gear 5th Luffy. Absalom is with Moria so he can also help Luffy by making Luffy invincible which will give a hard fight to Kaido.
