If Luffy could activate in one area, why does he have it in his whole body in that image? Everyone else is showing a new ability or move, so to be completely consistent, Luffy's image wouldn't look like that.

Another thing is that we made the conclusion of Luffy activating in one area after we saw the panel that Staw posted. While we only see steam from his arm in that image, there's no need, nor any room, for steam to be in any other area. It's supposed to be in focus. Besides, even if it's a mistake, Oda has made many mistakes before. Heck, that scar doesn't even look right!

The point is, we can't conclude in any way that Luffy has the ability to use Gear Second in one area. No character has ever pointed it out, and we've never had any highly detailed image of him using this ability. And if he had it, WHY would he use it on his entire body again?
