Not only that but Red Hawk is written like this: ゴムゴムの火拳銃

The first part (ゴムゴムの) mean the typical 'Gomu Gomu No'

The second part (火拳銃) is read as "Reddohōku" (レッドホーク) or Red Hawk as written in katakana. But the kanji are not typically read like this!

The Kanji would usually be read here as "Hikenju" and if you think that sounds familiar is because Ace is known as "Hiken no Ace", or Fire Fist Ace.

The first two kanji then (火拳) are Fire ( - Hi) and Fist (拳 - Ken)

The third Kanji is the one for Gun (銃 - jū)!

Additionaly, combined, the kanjis for Fist and Gun (拳銃 - Kenjū) mean "Pistol", a handgun.

So when Luffy uses Red Hawk, it has some layers to it:

  • Redhawk is a type of revolver, so it fits the typical gun/weapons theme of Luffy's attack.
  • Redhawk evoques the image of a literal Red Hawk, an animal, so it fits the theme of Luffy's armament haki attacks being named after animals ( "Grizzly Magnum", "Eagle Bazooka", "Leo Shcneider", and the smartest of them to me "Elephant Gun")
  • At the same time, 'cause of the Kanji, it means "Fire Fist Gun" AND "Fire Pistol" (an amalgamation of Ace's "Fire Fist" attack and Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Pistol)
