Yes. The conflicts between Sanji and Luffy in the manga often stem from complex circumstances and character developments that drive the narrative forward.
Luffy uses Gear 5 in a significant battle towards the later part of the manga. But the exact chapter or arc can vary depending on how you're reading it.
I recommend One Piece: The Great God Usopp to you. This book is a story about Usopp. It tells the story of how he obtained the League of Legends system through an accidental transmigration and became invincible. If you want to read a One Piece Doujinshi novel with a deceptive cloth as the main character, this book is perfect for you. I hope you will like my recommendation.
In the past, Usopp's abilities like his slingshot skills might be seen as more primitive compared to the advanced weaponry in his own time. But his creativity could give him an edge. For example, in a time when there were less advanced long - range weapons, his slingshot could be a very unique and effective tool. In the future, if he travels there, his abilities might seem obsolete at first. However, he could adapt by using his knowledge of old - fashioned combat and combine it with the new technology he finds.
