In Enies Lobby, everyone looks like they've suddenly become stronger (and have
new techniques). Luffy, learned how to pump his blood and his bone. Sanji,
learned how to burn his foot. Nami, learned to do Fatamorgana. Zoro with his
Asura?

Which part in the story that tells how they got such power?

How did the Straw Hat crew become stronger in Enies Lobby?


I found an interesting answer to a similar question on
[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/2c5chz/question_about_luffy_zoro_and_sanji_at_enies_lobby/):

A canonical reference is this:

**Another point to be noted is that Luffy's new learned techniques of Gear
Second and Gear Third make sense because he had been working on new
techniques/moves after fighting Aokiji the first time, and Zoro's Asura can
also be explained on the basis of the immense training he undergoes on a daily
routine. Nami's learned techniques are mostly just various scientific uses of
the[perfected Clima
Tact](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Art_of_Weather/Perfect_Clima-Tact) that
she was given by Usopp.**

I agree with the point that they got stronger simply because they had too,
they had no alternative. It's ridiculous the way luffy gets stronger. It's
ridiculous and bright at the same time. I remember when Luffy fought Arlong's
pet, Mohmoo, he invented a technique based on Genzo's small windmill. Later on
Alabasta, he improvised with misu no luffy, in which he covered himself in
water to be able to hit Sir Crocodile. On Ennies Lobby he inspired himself in
a Steam Engine.
