No, Luffy doesn't officially have a "Gear 1"; it's just his base form, the default way he uses his Gum-Gum powers, which fans sometimes call Gear 1 because it comes before Gear Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth. This baseline state allows him to stretch and use simple attacks like Gum-Gum Pistol, forming the foundation for his later, more powerful transformations.
Interestingly enough, Luffy never officially labels this initial form as 'Gear 1' in either the anime or manga. Instead, what we refer to as Gear 1 is simply Luffy's basic state—the one he first showcased in those early episodes when he set sail on a quest to become Pirate King.
The term 'Gear 1' is not explicitly referenced in the provided content. It's likely it refers to Monkey D. Luffy's base form in One Piece, where he utilizes the Gomu Gomu no Mi's power without the advanced transformations of Gear 2 or Gear 4.
Second gear was learnt in battle with Blueno , I think that's his name but the guy from CP9. He saw them do their Soru technique and drew inspiration. Third gear was first seen when he punched down a door in Eines Lobby, I don't remember it said how he thought of it.

As an awakened Mythical Zoan based on a God, Luffy is afforded immense strength, speed, and durability in Gear 5 that outclass the physical enhancement granted by most Zoan powers, including awakened ones, as well as his own Gear 4.
The rarest Haki in One Piece is widely considered to be Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror's Haki), an ability only one in millions are born with, allowing them to overpower the will of others and knock out the weak, with advanced forms like infusion and Observation Killing (used by Shanks) being even rarer. While Armament and Observation Haki can be learned, Conqueror's Haki is a genetic trait of "kings" and "chosen ones," making it exceptionally rare, though its advanced uses are only starting to be revealed in the story.
Gear 1 means processor memory controller and memory speed are equal. Gear 2 means processor memory controller operates at half the memory speed (such as CPU memory controller is at 1600MHz while memory speed is at 3200MHz when operating as Gear 2).
Rubber is resistant to Electricity but it doesn't mean rubber can nullify Lightning. Resistance and nullification is different people. Luffy can take lightning and fire, it is because of Luffy's DF.. imagination is his limit.

Yes he does. He used his conqueror haki knockout some bluejam pirates.
However, it looks like there is a fourth Haki, which is so rare that it can only be used by Dracule Mihawk and Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of The Revolutionary Forces.
Despite its great capabilities, the Haki in a person's body is not limitless and it can be depleted from overuse, rendering the user unable to use it for a set period of time while it regenerates.
When Luffy first used his Gear 5 form, it was against Kaidou of the Beasts Pirates. His hair and clothes turned white while his eyes took on a red glow. In Gear 5, his strength, speed, and durability are all enhanced to nearly limitless levels, but that is only the start of the changes this form brings about.

In the chapter, Vegapunk reveals that the Void Century ended with Joyboy's defeat, who despite seemingly wielding the same powers as Luffy, was still overpowered by the alliance of the twenty kingdoms.
Because Gear 5 is Luffy's final form. Unlike his previous gears (Gear 2, 3, 4) which he created using his own creativity and body, Gear 5 isn't something he invented-it's the Awakening of his Devil Fruit. And in One Piece, a Devil Fruit Awakens only once. >
