Dude, I clearly stated in red text that submission of CS was via PM.
I pretty much agree with this. With some characters like Zoro, they're often shown in the background or during in-between segments on the ship doing things like lifting weights. I think there have been scenes of Usopp and Franky tinkering with stuff too, that justify some of their "I suddenly invented this new thing!" moments.This is what I wanna see.
And even though Luffy isn't shown training before introducing his first two gears, he does take notice of the Soru and Geppou techniques being used in an earlier confrontation, and his opponent I believe comments on how Gear Second is basically using Soru to create those bulges in his legs that act as the blood pump.This is what I wanna avoid.
