OnePiece| Gear 4th Snake Man Attacks Ranked

Gear 4th that is luffy's most powerful gear in the current context of Onepiece has been shown to be very powerful as it consumes large amount of Haki. But, it has not been specified as too how many forms does Gear 4th have. Till now we have been shown three Gear 4th form named Pound Man, Tank Man and Snake Man from the recent onepiece manga. Each of luffy's gear seems to be inspired from the animals that were in the forest during the 2 years training that he did with Rayleigh. The names of the attack of gear 4th are also mainly based on animals and this still continues as the attacks from his Gear 4th Snake Man has also been shown. Based on his name we can already tell that his attacks are all based on snakes and has also named all his attacks on snakes. Snakes are mainly considered dangerous due to them being extremely poisonous. There are many snakes that are not poisonous but when we think of a snake then we usually think poisonous ones. Since all the snakes mentioned in his attacks are widely known, I believe we can also classify his attacks power level based on the snakes danger level. They are classified from No.1 being the most powerful to No.4 being least powerful among all four attacks.

 1. Python -The Pythonidae, commonly known simply as pythons, from the Greek word python , are a family of nonvenomous snakes. They are some of the largest snakes in the world. Even though they are not venomous they have potential of killing big animals and human beings as well with the help of their large body. They usually kill their prey by wrapping themselves around the prey's body and suffocating them till their death. They can stretch for long distances while shifting around, just like how Luffy's punch reaches long distances and distort. It is genius of Echiro Oda to name a move with a snakes name that fits the character properly. But based on other snakes that are on the list I believe that it is the most weakest attack among other moves of Snake Man.

2. Culverin - When you think of Culverin it simply appears to be the name of a type of cannon, which does fit Luffy's pattern of naming his attacks after weapons. However, it will not fully make sense to why it would come under Gear 4th Snake Mans attack as name of cannon would usually fit with Luffy's other gears. But if you research more deeply, you'll realize the word comes from the French Couleuvre or snake (specifically common grass-dwelling snakes), which in turn comes from Latin colubra, also snake. It is a poisonous snake unlike python that is why i believe that it is powerful in compared to python.

3. Black Mamba - The black mamba is yet another type of snake, one of the most dangerous snake out there and quiet possibly the fastest species of snake in the world, reaching up to 11km/h (7mph), almost as quick as a sprinting human. As told by luffy it makes complete sense now as to how this gear makes him much faster in compared to his other gears.This power makes it fitting that Luffy named his gatling variation on this species, because not only it is deadly, but also incredibly quick, making it incredibly hard to dodge its swift attacks. Black mamba is an extremely poisonous snake that can kill its prey within some minute. As the attack is named after one of the deadliest snake and plus makes him much more faster in attacking i believe that it is second powerful attack of Snake Man.

4. King Cobra - King Cobra which is also referred to as the king of all snakes, the King Cobra is known for being the absolute longest venomous snake, usually reaching 4 meters (13 feet) of length and in special cases even up to 5 or 6 meters! (17-20 feet). It is considered to be the most dangerous snake in compared to all the snakes mentioned above. Given how some cultures recognize it as the king of all snakes and the fact that it can extend to such lengths, it makes complete sense to be Snake man's ultimate attack.
