Have you seen the fan-made manga called Monkey d dragon vs imu-sama? Some things in did predict what would happen next in the manga or anime. Like Vivi and king cobra's disappearance and being treated as being dead.
I love how Sanji was the first one inside the dome to notice that Luffy was ok. Just goes to show that when it comes to haki his observation haki is amazing
I don't think it will have any drawbacks, I believe this will be the mastered formed with no drawbacks but all the benefits of all the other forms. It will be the perfected form.
@@zenitra168 i mean, him having awakening is literally proof dat he mastered or is very close to mastering his fruit so i dont think any of gears will have draw backs now tbh bc he can control it more
About the Smiles, I think you kinda missing the fact that they’re all failed experiments to reproduce the ZOAN NIKA FRUIT!! That’s why they’re all zoans and that’s why the failed effect is not being able tô stop laughing, JUST LIKE LUFFY IN HIS FORM!! He wanted to reproduce his fruit, and then TO DIE, so he could become joyboy. That’s why he said luffy couldnt be joyboy when he defeated him for the second time. Kaido was built around this since the begging and we couldn’t even know! Oda is such a genius
They aren't trying to reproduce Nika because they don't have it or Son God Nikas Lineage Factor. They've only been using animal Lineage Factors and the side effects of using Ceasers SAD chemical is why they can't express negative feelings no matter what.
I think luffys power allows him to manipulate whatever he touches. When he came in contact with kaido, kaido looked like a cartoon character, he also did the same with ground. Luffy is also doing what he’s doing to kaido without using haki. And judging by the length and size of luffys arm *pause* I think he might be able to make himself a giant because the fruit is limited to his imagination. Great job oda
Well he actually did become a giant. Remember when that giant girl with the shrink shrink fruit went into him then grown to the size of a giant? That was epic btw
If Shanks knew what the fruit really was, I feel like him betting his arm on the next generation and Luffy makes even more sense. If the fruit kind of chooses its eater, I think that could kind of confirm for Shanks that Luffy would grow up to be awesome
"If Shanks knew what the fruit really was".... I think it's a given that Shanks and his crew knew because the fruit was stolen/intercepted by his crew to prevent the world government from getting a hold of it.
That arm thing is way passed due with what’s going on in the story now. It’s escalated to something way beyond a measly sea king Shanks should have never had an issue with.
@@ghaldurinanubios4290 I don’t think Oda had that planned at that point cause if you want to talk awakenings, he should have done so when he lost to Magellan in impel down.
@@903-v8u they just needed a new member in the 1 arm club and that is shanks mission to bring in as many people as possible.that or kid having red hair reminded him of himself but kid had something he didn't have a 2 arms so shanks cut it so the would be exactly the same
Then you don’t even beat him at the end. he gives some monologue while fighting you made him feel again and says he’ll give up his evil plans and seemingly mid fight ..leaves to go atone for his sins
I'm 29. Been reading OP weekly since I was 10. I can say with absolute assurance that this is the first time Oda-Sensei has made me cry after the great war (with sheer effin joy). God damn what a chapter.
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Luffy just decimate Akainu with his new powers before he moves on to Blackbeard and fighting over the last road poneglif to raftel
I think he will fight Akainu at Sabos Execution it will be a call marineford call it marineford 2. Probably gonna happen near fishman island. So when he beats akainu he knocks him through F.Island and destroys it.
only oda can fool us for years and build in signs that nobody notices, i mean the wanted posters, the name "thousand sunny", even the SMILE's... and then there's the mystery called shanks... oh boi that’s CRAZY
It's his super Saiyan. Goku was the same way. Super Saiyan design was simply blonde hair, blonde eyesbrows and blue eyes. Kind of appropriate really. Luffy and Goku are parodies of wukong. Hell even Luffy has his own version of the Kaioken in the form of fourth gear.
Here's some info for the future, Luffy will eventually destroy the entire Red Line and reconnect the 4 seas of the world with one punch that stretches all the way around the world. The Red Line is a man made wall to control and separate the people created by someone in the past using the Magma-Magma fruit. Reconnecting the world by destroying the Red Line is the true One Piece cause it literally connects the 4 pieces of the world (each sea) into one. Doing this would also fulfill the prophecy of Luffy destroying Fishman Island. This will also create the All-Blue which is just another name for the One Piece. This will also allow Laboon to be reunited with Brook since there wont be an obstacle in his way. Lastly this will obliterate Mary Geoise effectively destroying the current world government in the process. This will all happen after a huge war against the world government in which Luffy and allies free the slaves being subjugated by the celestial dragons. Oh and speaking of the "celestial dragons" they are related to the moon, and Im is their king and god (The Moon God) who will be Luffy's final opponent. Mihawk is related to Im (probably Im's son) so he will fight Zoro in the final war as well. Mihawk and Im have the same eyes so the connection is there it just hasn't been established yet. Luffy's awakening is the 3rd ancient weapon. Elbaf will tell us the story of the previous JoyBoy who was also a giant. Laftel will be where Luffy and Blackbeard clash in a race to become the King of the Pirates (before Luffy learns what One Piece really is). We will also learn what "The Will of D" is, as well as what really happened during the Void Century, and the origin of the Devil Fruits all during the Laftel and/or Shanks arcs. Shanks will fight Luffy after Laftel in order to test him and see if he is ready to take on the World Government. I think that covers everything. Cheers! It's interesting that you decided to depict Luffy and Blackbeard as Yin and Yang. You can't have one without the other, so perhaps to finally topple the world government they will have work together. This may also be why none of the previous Nika users succeeded, because without the Yang aspect they just weren't strong enough. Blackbeard does not represent restriction, he believes in freedom as much as Luffy. He is just far more selfish about it, like a black hole he absorbs everything around him in order to make himself stronger and he uses that strength to do whatever he wants, to him this is ultimate freedom. Do what you want, take what you want, and don't let anyone get in your way. They balance each other out and that balance is essential if they plan to defeat the World Government and attain absolute freedom. "If you want the tallest building in the world, you can work hard to create the tallest building (Luffy) or destroy all other buildings so yours is the tallest by default (BB)", or you can simply walk outside and declare the universe as your building (Absolute Freedom).
From this chapter could we assume that Raftel (Laugh Tale) is an island permanently changed into a "cartoon town" by Joy Boy using the Nika Nika fruit, like how Punk Hazzard was changed to fire and ice?
@@Toshiro284 typical 15 year old activity, has a deku profile picture and goes around telling people his age. Stop being weird man, nobody cares about your age nor would any intelligent person answer your question.
Shanks making the Gorosei target Luffy is actually his way to help Luffy. He want Luffy to be pushed to his limits to activate Gear5/Nika/Joyboy. Remember, Rayleigh saying, All Luffy needs to grow is by fighting.
I had almost forgotten what true, unadulterated joy was until I read this chapter. I haven't been able to stop smiling all day, it was so good. Oda really outdid himself with this reveal. 20/10 chapter, wish I could forget it so I could read it again.
A moment of silence to those who passed away without witnessing Luffy's awakening..to OP fans. R.I.P to my friend who been waiting this for ages. Respect ❤
I just figured out how luffy power's work. God Nika, nika means good and luffy power is rubber but actually is reflection definition meaning bounce back, he has the ability to bounce back anything including negativity, his soul is always positive and want good for everyone.
I think Shanks knew that to awaken Luffy's fruit that he needed to die, thus he warned the Gorosei and they did not know this was how to awaken it, so Shanks took a gamble and helped Luffy!
it actually makes alot more sense that he ate a Zoan fruit mostly because of his unbelievable recovery time and his ability too heal from Magellan's poison with Iva's help. this explains alot of how Luffy survived.
What about the Red Hawk. Everyone said friction but I saw no friction. Matter of fact he did that bs underwater 😂 I can see Joyboy doing the same stuff Luffy did Giant style, like a benevolent god of freedom
@Petros Babin, what they meant by friction was Luffy pumping blood through the veins of his haki reinforced arm so quickly that the friction it caused would ignite flames along his arm, so it's internal friction not friction with something on the outside.
Watch from 12:28 to 12:51 THIS IS EXACTLY WHY ODA IS THE GOAT. While everyone is arguing with common sense and physics, at the end of the day it's his imagination and just a manga since "no matter how serious or dark the story gets, he's still there to stretch everything to the most ridiculous thing yet we love to see it🤣
When I first saw One Piece back in early 2000s, I had the crazy thought that perhaps Luffy could cover the entire world under his stretched body by the end of the series. With this reveal, I now see that it wasn't so crazy after all.
I don’t think luffy will get a drawback for gear 5th because it is a power of the gum gum fruit so there shouldn’t be any drawbacks as it’s the awakening and not a normal gear
I think the only drawback, if you consider this one, is that he might not know how to consciously tap into it, much like how he used Conquerors at first. Which I think is ideal writing because it could become repetitive if he suddenly uses gear 5th at all times.
it technically does have a drawback, the fruit is literally limited by the users imagination. not that luffy will have any problems with that drawback since he's the perfect person in all of one piece to have it.
I really believe that the drawback for using Gear Five will be Luffy's lifespan. Luffy's life span has already been shorten during Impel down. This could have been a foreshadow for Luffy eventually dying near the end game. The rapid heartbeat doesn't seem like a good sign for him neither. It would be kind of poetic that the most 'freedom' themed devil fruit cuts your life short, pretty much telling the audience that life is short and live it the way you want too.
Your guess is on point, there gonna be a price to pay to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for Luffy. It's just too convenient if you came back to life every now and then
I always thought that devil fruits drew to ones they saw fit in terms of personality and goals. Also, we all know how oda likes to play with the concept of fate. I think everyone obtaining their fruit was fate like Law with a background of doctors or surgeons, Kidd that fell in love with scraps and being resourceful with them, Blackbeard being an absolute dog shit of a person sacrificing his own crew mate just to get the devil fruit which is dark and cruel like his fruit; consuming anything without discrimination just to ultimate fill it's bottomless hunger(parallel).I think devil fruits find ways to reach the ones it sees fit no matter what.
Whitebeard's tremor fruit, because that guy shook the world and the lives of others in a positive way (his sons and daughters). Now Blackbeard has it, and he will do the same but in a negative way.
Omg dude makes perfect sense. So just like how Kaido ate a mythical fish fruit that let's him turn into a giant dragon the same as the giant dragon he has in his pants. I mean we can just find shitty parallels all day or we can just fly to japan right now to suck Oda off
Also, I see a pattern of someone carrying the fruit in some way to the later user. The government to cp9, shanks to Luffy, corazon to law, prolly more....
If everyone actually had the same smile that ABD mentioned while reading 1044, then Oda is literally a legend. Cause its literally like luffys awakening hopped out of all our pages and made us smile, in such a true joy boy fashion
I was actually just dying and smiling the whole time reading the chapter, smile didn't leave my face for like an hour while I checked out what everyone else thought.
Not sure if you cover it, but the attack of " Stretching" is from the monkey gods staff. The power of staff can extend to incredible lengths seemingly without limits and extract based on the will of its wielder. It can also change its size, multiply itself, and even fight according to the will of its master.
I just had a thought. Did Luffy's power of Freedom give the Going Merry its own will to help the Strawhats beyond the normal capabilities a ship should be able to do? It realized its friends were in danger of losing their pirate freedoms in both cases that it needed to help out and Luffy's real power made that happen without any realization from the user because he didn't understand anything beyond that he was a rubber man. But he always believed the Going Merry had a soul and his belief is what brought it to life. Edit: Oh God, the more I think about what this power could do, the more I'm starting to have ideas about the other mysteries of one piece. Like where did devil fruits come from? Could they have been a product of someone using this power hundreds or even thousands of years before? My brain is actually going into overload from the possibilities of this new information.
Oda wrote a character that allowed him to be as creative and silly as he wanted while telling an amazing story. Luffy is oda, or more like a large portion of oda, his goals and his personality. Through this fictional version of himself he has been able to achieve pretty much what his main character wanted. To have fun, make friends and make people smile. Through his manga and anime we all smile and laugh. All while giving himself the perfect oppurtunity to flex his creative muscles. Just as luffy has been doing and now can do whatever oda thinks of.
The fact tha luffy saying he can do anything is actually is oda's word through luffy's. Since this fruit work based on the imagination so oda will definitely shows his imagination going forward.. I'm fcking exciting Man 😭
I like that Oda created his own mythical deity too because as a writer myself, it was a little bit annoying in a way when the theorists are using real life logic and creatures and myths to guess what Oda could do for this and that power in regards to some of these devil fruits. Good to see him literally making something up for his own story that hardly anybody could guess.
I like how unique this is compared to the many shonen protags over the years. Well done Oda. Well done. As someone already pointed out, my boy has the toon force.
@@DeathsSON213 Just my opinion man. I love alot of the other shone protag designs. But this one makes him a rubberhose style cartoon character from like the 30's. I think it's different. Son wukong thing not so much but at least oda put a different spin on it. Line up this form with Asta, Goku, Ichigo, Naruto, Gon, Allen, Shinra etc. It may be based on something that's been used before but the premise of this feels unique. Just my thoughts on it.
@@DeathsSON213 I can't remember any other Shonen that gave their character the power of "anythign rofl lmao lol". Usually they just scale up the destruction level of their attacks and that's it.
“The warrior of liberation” Dragon & Sabo are gonna love hearing this. Luffy has a grand fleet, wano, fishman island & soon the full revolutionary army supporting him vs the Government & Blackbeard (with his hands on controlling devil fruit)
Sooo basically Luffy's has the same powers as the Mask, the movie with Jim Carrey. The only difference is he does not say "smokin" after every cool thing he does..................yet.
This chapter gave me the BEST satisfaction on many levels. I'm glad some people finally realized that Oda wasn't "joking" when he said that a Hito Hito No Mi, wakes up your "true spirit", if a human eats it and that his answer, wasn't limited to Choppers "Human" model. (see SBS questionaire volume 20). That's like any person feeling more than themselves inside. Especially people with vast imaginations. "Dreamers" if you will. Now here we are ☝🏾🤪✌🏾
D: WHAT HAPPENS IF A PERSON EATS A HITO HITO NO MI? O: I suppose I should say they "BECOME HUMAN". Uh, I guess you could say that means like becoming an adult, or finding your true spirit or something. So basically, people will live more human-like. Well. I guess you could say that. Or not. Basically, not. Goodbye. (runs away).
@@sumkid9263 It also goes along with the story Buddah vs Wukong (Monkey). How Sengoku attacked Luffy with his Golden Buddha in the Marineford arc, is a nod to the story. Like the Wano arc is a nod to the Momotaro story.
@@chadwenchester528 bruh yall Even Misunderstood That lmaoo. That's not what he Means by "Human or True Spirit" yall should go and watch some Stuff on Philosophy and Maybe go back to Some of these anime.
If luffy also has resin properties, that means he is also logia, meaning he essentially covers every devil fruit category. Rubber : Paramecia (because rubber is man-made from resin) Resin: logia (Because resin is a natural element) Sun god: Zoan Which all ties to this ‘freedom’ ability thing, as having the freedom to express his devil fruit as any devil fruit type. That means for him to use his logia ability of untouchable, he actually has to wills it contrary to normal logias who bypass physical damage automatically.
Or maybe luffy simply has the ability of carbon. Which is the major or basic component of every organic thing. Thats why he can rearrange his atoms to produce anything. As in, carbon can rearrange to be as strong as diamond or as brittle as graphite. Or rearrange into an inflammable hydrocarbon like butane, thats why he can do red hawk.
I mean u can’t own a theory. U can come up with it but the breadcrumbs were there for us to piece together so a lot of other people also came up with the theory so it’s anyone’s really
Luffy isn't joyboy he simply has a fruit that a famous man named joyboy had centuries ago and that's why when they think of the hito-hito nomi they think joyboy. Luffy isn't some reincarnation he's his own person luffy is too stubborn to let some devil fruit dictate how he acts or feels. Luffy is fighting for freedom that'd be counter productive to say luffy is freedom itself, and then say his devil fruit will control him or joyboy has taken over luffy. Luffy is just that guy 🐐🔥
I agree with this. Joy Boy is the real guy as well as the idea, but the guy is gone now though his attitude or spirit remains metaphorically in those that brave the sea. There was a previous goat from 800 years ago and now they are just saying "He's the new Joy Boy" much like if you were a crazy baller I might call you the next Jordan/Lebron/Kobe/etc. Luffy has also been called similar to Roger but they are two guys.
Theory: So Nikka is seen holding a staff/spear, I believe Zunesha is this staff( Mabey awakened weapon zoan devil fruit?)Idk how but she turns into one because she states joy boy was her companion and I just don't see joyboy riding an island sized elephant(even if he is huge) so I'm assuming she has another form which I believe is a staff like wukong/nikka and hopefully she will join Luffy.
I mean if joyboy was the original owner of the giant straw hat then he probably rode her in giant form. I mean who wouldn’t want to ride her. She’s a giant elephant.
@@juannaym8488 Nah mate Hordy got plot armour there, Luffy a human plus DF user fought a fucking fishman on steroids inside of the sea 10,000 meteres below sea level . Also inside a bubble but still won.
@@juannaym8488 You're right but honestly that Fishman island arc has always come off like a plot vehicle to me. Introducing the prophecy, the weapon, and the promise. I want to see peak Luffy dominate a foe we thought would be an end-game level threat just to introduce an even more powerful adversary later. Seeing the world in awe of him and his accomplishments, elevating him to the top dog and official Yonko
Scrap the 5 Billion bounty idea I supported, I think Luffy will get 5,656,000,000 after Wano, Surpassing Even Roger( because Roger DID NOT became Joyboy, He only know the History) MEANWHILE Luffy: Defeating Kaido (Marine Couldn't do it before), Knowledge of using Advance Variations of 3 Haki types, Awakens his Mythical DF, Actually becoming JOYBOY, Adding Wano as his Territory, will become the only people alive closest to discovering the One Piece (3/4 Road Poneglyphs WCI,Mink tribe, Wano), Have someone who can actually read said Poneglyphs and possibly addition of Yamato (Maybe the WG would feel like Yamato knows some knowledge about the Void Century because of her fathers connections) Given all of that above, I think WG would go extreme to purposely make his next bounty even higher than Rogers Bounty, basically hoping that other peoples like Pirates and Bounty Hunters would be stupid enough to attempt to assassinate him. Jeez man. I think 5.5 -5.6 really suits him
It should go higher the gorosei said that kaido enslaving an entire country and amassing a giant war aka kaido’s wrath is not as bad as luffy awakening his fruit
I honestly think 5.656B is good because it's surpasses Rogers Bounty, and it's A word pun for Go Mu, Yes I think Strength wise Roger is still stronger than Luffy, but because Luffy awakens his fruit, he becoming Joyboy is probably the worst case scenario for WG and the biggest threat to them, He'll also become the most wanted person surpassing even his father
Lol you said something that i didn’t notice. That the “Kozuki always keeps its promises” Now that makes me wonder 🤔🤔was JoyBoy a Kozuki is that why the symbol is also On Zunesha by the ponegliff?
I wonder what are the drawbacks from this form? Can Luffy not activate it at will? If Luffy mood changes, does he lose the form? Can Luffy not use Haki while in this form?
This is the first time I have watched this channel in 2 years in fear of being spoiled now that im caught up to mosg of the manga you talk about i am happy
Of all the foreshadowing and reference I haven’t heard anyone talk about how doflamingo told luffy there was more to devil fruit powers when he turned the buildings into strings. Will Luffy be able to turn anything he touches into blubber? 😬😬😬
For all the one piece fans who didn't made it here I feel sorry for them 😔 but , the one's who made it here ... Gentlemen , I congratulate u for witnessing this greatest foreshadowed moment in anime history!!😁
I have health problems and don't know if I'll survive to the end of the story,and I've been reading it for nearly 20 years since I was a little kid, but seeing Luffy reach this level and if he actually takes down a yonko will be enough for me. Like Ace said, I know he'll be able to do it.. It's funny, Luffy is like a really old and beloved friend to me who I endlessly root for, and I remember the days when he didn't even have a real ship and it was just him and zoro floating around aimlessly in random little boats. Just getting to the grand line seemed like an impossible far off dream in those days, and now One Piece is actually in Luffy's sights.
Luffy powers is going to heal all of wano from sad and make them happy 😃 and thus override smile fruits and make them human again as I think luffy can pass his powers to others
I always thought blackbread was going to be the main antagonist. He’s posed a problem since early on, in a way difference since compared to big mom, kaido, etc.
He still is. Even if he’s not as strong of Kaido his biggest strength is that he can nullify devil fruits. And given the years remember his black hole ability he used to swallow a entire town? He could probably engulf a entire island at this point he could make it very hard for Luffy to get near him and if he does he can nullify him if he grabs Luffy. And the tremor fruit ads a whole nother level of bs
is black beards fruit probably a mythical zoan aswell? i mean his powers cant be explained with the properties of darkness aswell aswell as his disability to turn into his element. its a little bit hinted like luffys show ablities couldnt be explained just by the properties of rubber and gum.
@@thanquolrattenherz9665 lol no. Luffy’s fruit was given a false name and class because the WG wanted to keep the fruit true nature under wraps. Gonna be stupid if every other fruit is like that. BB’s fruit is just a logia.
Well this is certainly an interesting way to give Luffy the power to stand up to Blackbeard. I always thought he'd be able to consume 2 fruits as well but giving him the most OP one works too
Maybe the drawback this time for Gear 5 is that, like when someone gets the fever, (heart beats faster, Luffy's heart beating fast and loud like a drum) it makes them immobile and needs to "recover" or rest for a long time unlike Gear 3 and 4 where after 10 mins he's able to stand back up, and maybe during this time (Luffy recovering) is when it jumps to the Elbaf arc...
Nah he won’t have a drawback since his gear 5 is just his fruit awakening and when he uses gear 4th he won’t have strain anymore since he can just make his body bigger easily just by thinking
Luffy has the POWER of "THE MASK." The Jim Carrie movie. The only reason I don't like this is because Luffy has the power that is only limited to his imagination which includes othe Devil Fruits ability. Which means Luffy can do whatever he wants.
Sorry I don't like this because now Luffy is OP and nothing can stop him and nothing is a threat to him. Now you can say every gear Luffy had has a draw cool great. How long are those draw backs really a thing 1 maybe 2 fights. Also where they really draws back or did Luffy imagination make him think there would be draw backs. Sorry this ability while fun and great. Just means Luffy is a walk "Deus Ex Machina" that's only explaination need is "Luffy imagination."
@@riotak0009 we don't kno yet to what extent luffy can tap into this power... he may be OP but he may be a noob at using this power... this is his litteral first time turning into his "beat form" if you will.
@@MichaelImo That fair, but when your applying the "The Mask" which is toon logic to everything you touch and it as you say not knowing the extent of his powers. Then nothing else matters. Because the point of "Toon Logic" is simply there is nothing logical about it nothing is impossible now. That the issue now.
@@riotak0009 Nope so far the only person who have counter for luffy is Blackbeard A.K.A Marshall.D.Teach. With his yami yami no mi(dark dark fruit). Which appereantly negs DF, also works like mini blackhole, can control gravitional force to an extent and pull object and living things inside. We still dont know how strong is he after timeskip, Luffy also have a counter to his Gura Gura no mi(tremor tremor fruit) and with his adv conq BB cannot touch him fuck luffy is OP.
@@hisamahmed9373 True until you remember what Blackbeard said about his Devil Fruit. While he is a Logia his body doesn't allow objects to past through actually all physical attacks that hit him are actually doubled. So double the damage done to someone by a "Toon." Also add in the fact Luffy's power is only limited to his imagination so Luffy could counter Blackbeard's Black Hole with painting it white. Again "Toon Logic" mean no logic. Also you want him to counter the Gura Gura no Mi that's even easier. Earthquake, but everything is rubber like a huge bounce castle.
Since Luffy has inherited joyboys will. I think is in the process of inheriting the will of "the right hand man of joyboys" which there probably was but we still don't know that. We can confirm that joyboys had a crew cuz zunesha was a part of it
It's not just toon force, it was stated that nika can fight in whatever way he liked, what's happening right now is how luffy wants to fight with kaido, so you are limiting it to toon force.
One piece chapter review Yusuf:Talks about two manga pages and talks about theories One piece community:(sigh)Sid please step in and finish the chapter
Oda already foreshadowed Luffy's awakening when Nekomamushi starts a Banquet at Zou when he was injured You can see Luffy posed like the Sun God's pose
Its pretty crazy to think you can describe Luffy's new powers with "what's Luffies new powers? Whatever the F*CK he wants!" He's gonna punch you with Fire, kick ur ass with lightning then turn ur ass into a cartoon.
There has to be some type of drawback to it IMO because I feel like these powers just made him ridiculously OP. Like does haki even matter now? How can you fight against a literal cartoon that can do whatever they have in their imagination?
@@jeremyroberts8822 Its like Mr Fantastic, in the comics he can form his body at the molecular level and without the drawbacks of rubber like luffy had before g5 where he would need to return to his original form after an attack(snapping back his arm for ex). So luffy can now FORM himself into a looney -tunes esque way but he can't just have nigh invinciblity like looney tunes characters do.
no bruh he probably has fire and rubber and thats it, being creative and free doesnt imply having these powers along bruh they meant he can shape his rubber to any form
Luffy’s awakening reminds me of brook’s fruit, it’s like the fruit became more alive when the user dies, brook never even knew what his devil fruit did and after he died he was reborn, and now luffy died and now he is reborn and knows his fruit more
I'm not sure if anyone else has thought of this. But if Luffy is the Sun God, then IM may be the Moon God. The Aztec Moon God/Goddess was afraid of the Sun God, which could explain why IM has been trying to obtain the Nika fruit. And we know that the room IM was in was like a freezer, so it could be hot vs cold there.
@@chevbenjamin2985 it hasn't been confirmed, but some people speculate that IM is a girl due to the almond shape of the eyes. I think that's why anyway. He/she/it at this point lol.
@@chevbenjamin2985 yeah if it was a she it would be very sad no need for a girl to be the strongest character luffy has to defeat thats just bs if you ask me
What if Luffys power is bringing his imagination to reality, and that would explain why his body was rubber and immune to electricity. Because he believed that’s what the fruit did, so him believing that made it a reality. And going back to the part about Zoans personality having an influence, maybe that’s just how Nika/Joy Boy preferred to fight. And why the Gorosei decided to rename the fruit to the rubber fruit, because that was their preferred and most well known ability. This ability would make Lucy incredibly OP, but would fix the plot holes on why the sun god/this fruit makes your body rubber.
@@Jr-rl2gt Could be like I said, the rubber fighting style was part of Nikas personality, if Zoan fruits really do have a mind of their own and carry over their personality then that would still make it a part of Luffys fruit
From the beginning of the manga, judging from the name of Luffy's family, I think they were already hinting this outcome. The fact that luffy came from the Monkey family, and his gear five now grants him the ability of to do anything, and is only limited by his imagination, he sounds like the Monkey King Sun Wukong from the journey to the west.
Well luffy was always the underdog, there was always someone stronger, but we have to remember, he wants to be the pirate king, he needs to be at least at yonko's level. Personaly i think it is great he tapped to his potential and after 1400+ chapters he is at that level.

The last three whole panels had me smiling and laughing like I just found the One Piece type shit lol
About the Smiles, I think you kinda missing the fact that they’re all failed experiments to reproduce the ZOAN NIKA FRUIT!! That’s why they’re all zoans and that’s why the failed effect is not being able tô stop laughing, JUST LIKE LUFFY IN HIS FORM!! He wanted to reproduce his fruit, and then TO DIE, so he could become joyboy. That’s why he said luffy couldnt be joyboy when he defeated him for the second time. Kaido was built around this since the begging and we couldn’t even know! Oda is such a genius
This actually makes so much sense
They aren't trying to reproduce Nika because they don't have it or Son God Nikas Lineage Factor. They've only been using animal Lineage Factors and the side effects of using Ceasers SAD chemical is why they can't express negative feelings no matter what.
THIS IS SO TRUE
Very good sir *tilts tophat
This actually clicked 👌
I think luffys power allows him to manipulate whatever he touches. When he came in contact with kaido, kaido looked like a cartoon character, he also did the same with ground. Luffy is also doing what he’s doing to kaido without using haki. And judging by the length and size of luffys arm *pause* I think he might be able to make himself a giant because the fruit is limited to his imagination. Great job oda
Well he actually did become a giant. Remember when that giant girl with the shrink shrink fruit went into him then grown to the size of a giant? That was epic btw
@@Shyheem-B well that was filler but yes
No shit
His power is literally a toon. He can create anything his imagination thinks. Just picture cartoons like bugs bunny, Tom and Jerry, animaniacs
Probably gonna happen in albaph
If Shanks knew what the fruit really was, I feel like him betting his arm on the next generation and Luffy makes even more sense. If the fruit kind of chooses its eater, I think that could kind of confirm for Shanks that Luffy would grow up to be awesome
"If Shanks knew what the fruit really was".... I think it's a given that Shanks and his crew knew because the fruit was stolen/intercepted by his crew to prevent the world government from getting a hold of it.
That arm thing is way passed due with what’s going on in the story now. It’s escalated to something way beyond a measly sea king Shanks should have never had an issue with.
Shanks stopped Luffy from awakening at Marineford Arc when he saved Luffy and ended the war.
@@ghaldurinanubios4290 I don’t think Oda had that planned at that point cause if you want to talk awakenings, he should have done so when he lost to Magellan in impel down.
@@903-v8u they just needed a new member in the 1 arm club and that is shanks mission to bring in as many people as possible.that or kid having red hair reminded him of himself but kid had something he didn't have a 2 arms so shanks cut it so the would be exactly the same
Luffy is the final boss that you thought you killed, but the boss music didn't stop and you get a different form at full health.
Elden ring/ ninja Gaiden vibes
Lmao luffy literally became the final boss for kaido
*Elden ring* type a thing
Then you don’t even beat him at the end. he gives some monologue while fighting you made him feel again and says he’ll give up his evil plans and seemingly mid fight ..leaves to go atone for his sins
I'm 29. Been reading OP weekly since I was 10.
I can say with absolute assurance that this is the first time Oda-Sensei has made me cry after the great war (with sheer effin joy).
God damn what a chapter.
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Luffy just decimate Akainu with his new powers before he moves on to Blackbeard and fighting over the last road poneglif to raftel
Yes i agree. LUffy vs Akainu . I am so hyped. In memory of Ace💛💜🔥
I reckon saibo got caught and luffy has to go save him
It's too early
@@darktempest are u fucking sure it's Been more than a decade since it happened 🗿
I think he will fight Akainu at Sabos Execution it will be a call marineford call it marineford 2. Probably gonna happen near fishman island. So when he beats akainu he knocks him through F.Island and destroys it.
only oda can fool us for years and build in signs that nobody notices, i mean the wanted posters, the name "thousand sunny", even the SMILE's... and then there's the mystery called shanks... oh boi that’s CRAZY

Luffy's gear 5th design looks so simple, but yet so 🔥
FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Probably because luffy doesn't have any idea yet that his power is limited to his imagination. Probably going to be more 🔥 in later chapters
Cant wait for the anime to catch up
It's his super Saiyan. Goku was the same way. Super Saiyan design was simply blonde hair, blonde eyesbrows and blue eyes.
Kind of appropriate really. Luffy and Goku are parodies of wukong.
Hell even Luffy has his own version of the Kaioken in the form of fourth gear.
Luffy's design on 5th looks like pop-eye the sailor ma, looney tunes vibe and a goku cartoon version.
Here's some info for the future, Luffy will eventually destroy the entire Red Line and reconnect the 4 seas of the world with one punch that stretches all the way around the world. The Red Line is a man made wall to control and separate the people created by someone in the past using the Magma-Magma fruit. Reconnecting the world by destroying the Red Line is the true One Piece cause it literally connects the 4 pieces of the world (each sea) into one. Doing this would also fulfill the prophecy of Luffy destroying Fishman Island. This will also create the All-Blue which is just another name for the One Piece. This will also allow Laboon to be reunited with Brook since there wont be an obstacle in his way. Lastly this will obliterate Mary Geoise effectively destroying the current world government in the process. This will all happen after a huge war against the world government in which Luffy and allies free the slaves being subjugated by the celestial dragons. Oh and speaking of the "celestial dragons" they are related to the moon, and Im is their king and god (The Moon God) who will be Luffy's final opponent. Mihawk is related to Im (probably Im's son) so he will fight Zoro in the final war as well. Mihawk and Im have the same eyes so the connection is there it just hasn't been established yet.
Luffy's awakening is the 3rd ancient weapon. Elbaf will tell us the story of the previous JoyBoy who was also a giant. Laftel will be where Luffy and Blackbeard clash in a race to become the King of the Pirates (before Luffy learns what One Piece really is). We will also learn what "The Will of D" is, as well as what really happened during the Void Century, and the origin of the Devil Fruits all during the Laftel and/or Shanks arcs. Shanks will fight Luffy after Laftel in order to test him and see if he is ready to take on the World Government. I think that covers everything. Cheers!
It's interesting that you decided to depict Luffy and Blackbeard as Yin and Yang. You can't have one without the other, so perhaps to finally topple the world government they will have work together. This may also be why none of the previous Nika users succeeded, because without the Yang aspect they just weren't strong enough. Blackbeard does not represent restriction, he believes in freedom as much as Luffy. He is just far more selfish about it, like a black hole he absorbs everything around him in order to make himself stronger and he uses that strength to do whatever he wants, to him this is ultimate freedom. Do what you want, take what you want, and don't let anyone get in your way. They balance each other out and that balance is essential if they plan to defeat the World Government and attain absolute freedom.
"If you want the tallest building in the world, you can work hard to create the tallest building (Luffy) or destroy all other buildings so yours is the tallest by default (BB)", or you can simply walk outside and declare the universe as your building (Absolute Freedom).
You might be onto something. I'm excited to find out how Oda portrays it all though!

I had chills constantly running down my spine reading each panel of this chapter 🔥
Can we just take the time to appreciate Sanji’s Observation haki. It woke him up from his comatose state
I think Shanks knew that to awaken Luffy's fruit that he needed to die, thus he warned the Gorosei and they did not know this was how to awaken it, so Shanks took a gamble and helped Luffy!

it actually makes alot more sense that he ate a Zoan fruit mostly because of his unbelievable recovery time and his ability too heal from Magellan's poison with Iva's help. this explains alot of how Luffy survived.
What about the Red Hawk. Everyone said friction but I saw no friction. Matter of fact he did that bs underwater 😂 I can see Joyboy doing the same stuff Luffy did Giant style, like a benevolent god of freedom
@Petros Babin, what they meant by friction was Luffy pumping blood through the veins of his haki reinforced arm so quickly that the friction it caused would ignite flames along his arm, so it's internal friction not friction with something on the outside.

Watch from 12:28 to 12:51 THIS IS EXACTLY WHY ODA IS THE GOAT. While everyone is arguing with common sense and physics, at the end of the day it's his imagination and just a manga since "no matter how serious or dark the story gets, he's still there to stretch everything to the most ridiculous thing yet we love to see it🤣
@@blackmercury956 Greatly said my G
When I first saw One Piece back in early 2000s, I had the crazy thought that perhaps Luffy could cover the entire world under his stretched body by the end of the series. With this reveal, I now see that it wasn't so crazy after all.

Naniiiiiii!!!?? 👀👤
I don’t think luffy will get a drawback for gear 5th because it is a power of the gum gum fruit so there shouldn’t be any drawbacks as it’s the awakening and not a normal gear
Facts
I think the only drawback, if you consider this one, is that he might not know how to consciously tap into it, much like how he used Conquerors at first. Which I think is ideal writing because it could become repetitive if he suddenly uses gear 5th at all times.
maybe the 9 samurai will protect Wano so the prophecy thingy can come true?
it technically does have a drawback, the fruit is literally limited by the users imagination. not that luffy will have any problems with that drawback since he's the perfect person in all of one piece to have it.
I don't know, he called it Gear Fifth.
I really believe that the drawback for using Gear Five will be Luffy's lifespan. Luffy's life span has already been shorten during Impel down. This could have been a foreshadow for Luffy eventually dying near the end game. The rapid heartbeat doesn't seem like a good sign for him neither. It would be kind of poetic that the most 'freedom' themed devil fruit cuts your life short, pretty much telling the audience that life is short and live it the way you want too.
That actually make a lot of sense but i hope not. Luffy is like a brother to me at this point 😂😂 started young watching him and im almost 30 😂
@@rudgullit1989 lmao same here bro. Turning 29 and I've been watching/reading one piece for more than half my life 😂
Your guess is on point, there gonna be a price to pay to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for Luffy. It's just too convenient if you came back to life every now and then
Law will sacrifice himself for the goat in the coat
@@mrpk646 I don't think Luffy will ever accept that.
I always thought that devil fruits drew to ones they saw fit in terms of personality and goals. Also, we all know how oda likes to play with the concept of fate. I think everyone obtaining their fruit was fate like Law with a background of doctors or surgeons, Kidd that fell in love with scraps and being resourceful with them, Blackbeard being an absolute dog shit of a person sacrificing his own crew mate just to get the devil fruit which is dark and cruel like his fruit; consuming anything without discrimination just to ultimate fill it's bottomless hunger(parallel).I think devil fruits find ways to reach the ones it sees fit no matter what.
Whitebeard's tremor fruit, because that guy shook the world and the lives of others in a positive way (his sons and daughters). Now Blackbeard has it, and he will do the same but in a negative way.
Omg dude makes perfect sense. So just like how Kaido ate a mythical fish fruit that let's him turn into a giant dragon the same as the giant dragon he has in his pants. I mean we can just find shitty parallels all day or we can just fly to japan right now to suck Oda off

Fr
Not sure if you cover it, but the attack of " Stretching" is from the monkey gods staff. The power of staff can extend to incredible lengths seemingly without limits and extract based on the will of its wielder. It can also change its size, multiply itself, and even fight according to the will of its master.
this reminds me of god of highschool
"luffy literally has the power of freedom in his hands"
Erens dream ability
I just had a thought. Did Luffy's power of Freedom give the Going Merry its own will to help the Strawhats beyond the normal capabilities a ship should be able to do? It realized its friends were in danger of losing their pirate freedoms in both cases that it needed to help out and Luffy's real power made that happen without any realization from the user because he didn't understand anything beyond that he was a rubber man. But he always believed the Going Merry had a soul and his belief is what brought it to life.
Edit: Oh God, the more I think about what this power could do, the more I'm starting to have ideas about the other mysteries of one piece. Like where did devil fruits come from? Could they have been a product of someone using this power hundreds or even thousands of years before? My brain is actually going into overload from the possibilities of this new information.
We have the same thought process rn
I see you are right
Oh damn now it makes sense why that ship can talk
*head implodes*
Damn also merry looked like a cartoon character too
Oda wrote a character that allowed him to be as creative and silly as he wanted while telling an amazing story. Luffy is oda, or more like a large portion of oda, his goals and his personality. Through this fictional version of himself he has been able to achieve pretty much what his main character wanted. To have fun, make friends and make people smile. Through his manga and anime we all smile and laugh. All while giving himself the perfect oppurtunity to flex his creative muscles. Just as luffy has been doing and now can do whatever oda thinks of.
The fact tha luffy saying he can do anything is actually is oda's word through luffy's. Since this fruit work based on the imagination so oda will definitely shows his imagination going forward..
I'm fcking exciting Man 😭
I love gear fifth as a stark contrast to Gon's Adult form from HxH. Whereas that was dark and depressing, gear fifth is lighthearted and inspiring.
I like that Oda created his own mythical deity too because as a writer myself, it was a little bit annoying in a way when the theorists are using real life logic and creatures and myths to guess what Oda could do for this and that power in regards to some of these devil fruits. Good to see him literally making something up for his own story that hardly anybody could guess.
I agree. I saw a lot of people pissed that it wasn’t based in the real world. They said that it was a ass pull because he based it on a inworld deity.
@@dm1136 id rather have him create his own deity than those stupid ass "resin" theories lmao. shit was so stupid

I like how unique this is compared to the many shonen protags over the years. Well done Oda. Well done. As someone already pointed out, my boy has the toon force.
Are you being sarcastic? This is an example of one of the most common shonen tropes.
@@DeathsSON213 Just my opinion man. I love alot of the other shone protag designs. But this one makes him a rubberhose style cartoon character from like the 30's. I think it's different. Son wukong thing not so much but at least oda put a different spin on it. Line up this form with Asta, Goku, Ichigo, Naruto, Gon, Allen, Shinra etc. It may be based on something that's been used before but the premise of this feels unique. Just my thoughts on it.
I agree with u. This power up gives off a very different vibe from the way others had done it. And im loving it
@@DeathsSON213 I can't remember any other Shonen that gave their character the power of "anythign rofl lmao lol". Usually they just scale up the destruction level of their attacks and that's it.

Good god I hope Oda adds that line after Luffy beats Kaido 😂
This chapter gave me the BEST satisfaction on many levels.
I'm glad some people finally realized that Oda wasn't "joking" when he said that a Hito Hito No Mi, wakes up your "true spirit", if a human eats it and that his answer, wasn't limited to Choppers "Human" model. (see SBS questionaire volume 20). That's like any person feeling more than themselves inside. Especially people with vast imaginations.
"Dreamers" if you will.
Now here we are ☝🏾🤪✌🏾
Sengokus fruit is a Hito Hito no Mi as well, Buddha model lol. So we have definitely seen another example of Luffys type of fruit.
D: WHAT HAPPENS IF A PERSON EATS A HITO HITO NO MI?
O: I suppose I should say they "BECOME HUMAN". Uh, I guess you could say that means like becoming an adult, or finding your true spirit or something. So basically, people will live more human-like. Well. I guess you could say that. Or not. Basically, not. Goodbye. (runs away).
@@sumkid9263 It also goes along with the story Buddah vs Wukong (Monkey). How Sengoku attacked Luffy with his Golden Buddha in the Marineford arc, is a nod to the story.

@@chadwenchester528 bruh yall Even Misunderstood That lmaoo. That's not what he Means by "Human or True Spirit" yall should go and watch some Stuff on Philosophy and Maybe go back to Some of these anime.
If luffy also has resin properties, that means he is also logia, meaning he essentially covers every devil fruit category.
Rubber : Paramecia (because rubber is man-made from resin)
Resin: logia (Because resin is a natural element)
Sun god: Zoan
Which all ties to this ‘freedom’ ability thing, as having the freedom to express his devil fruit as any devil fruit type.
That means for him to use his logia ability of untouchable, he actually has to wills it contrary to normal logias who bypass physical damage automatically.
Or maybe luffy simply has the ability of carbon. Which is the major or basic component of every organic thing.
Thats why he can rearrange his atoms to produce anything.
As in, carbon can rearrange to be as strong as diamond or as brittle as graphite. Or rearrange into an inflammable hydrocarbon like butane, thats why he can do red hawk.
I got so hyped while reading this chapter. 3 of my theories was correct. Luffy being Nika. Luffy being JoyBoy. And my God zoan fruit.

@@kaizatengoku3893 which one. I wrote those theories like 4 months ago. I wrote God zoan theory 6 months ago.
I mean u can’t own a theory. U can come up with it but the breadcrumbs were there for us to piece together so a lot of other people also came up with the theory so it’s anyone’s really
Luffy isn't joyboy he simply has a fruit that a famous man named joyboy had centuries ago and that's why when they think of the hito-hito nomi they think joyboy. Luffy isn't some reincarnation he's his own person luffy is too stubborn to let some devil fruit dictate how he acts or feels. Luffy is fighting for freedom that'd be counter productive to say luffy is freedom itself, and then say his devil fruit will control him or joyboy has taken over luffy. Luffy is just that guy 🐐🔥
I agree with this. Joy Boy is the real guy as well as the idea, but the guy is gone now though his attitude or spirit remains metaphorically in those that brave the sea. There was a previous goat from 800 years ago and now they are just saying "He's the new Joy Boy" much like if you were a crazy baller I might call you the next Jordan/Lebron/Kobe/etc. Luffy has also been called similar to Roger but they are two guys.
big facts
Can't stop my smile too, my comment got featured man. This video is all about joy💓💓😁😁😁🙋
Theory: So Nikka is seen holding a staff/spear, I believe Zunesha is this staff( Mabey awakened weapon zoan devil fruit?)Idk how but she turns into one because she states joy boy was her companion and I just don't see joyboy riding an island sized elephant(even if he is huge) so I'm assuming she has another form which I believe is a staff like wukong/nikka and hopefully she will join Luffy.
whathe first sentence isnt a theory
I believe a sentence ends with a period, not a coma buddy.
So I have a theory that Buddha is zunisha cause Buddha tricked sun wukong and sealed him away defeating sun wu kong aka sun god nika
I mean if joyboy was the original owner of the giant straw hat then he probably rode her in giant form. I mean who wouldn’t want to ride her. She’s a giant elephant.

Scrap the 5 Billion bounty idea I supported, I think Luffy will get 5,656,000,000 after Wano, Surpassing Even Roger( because Roger DID NOT became Joyboy, He only know the History) MEANWHILE Luffy: Defeating Kaido (Marine Couldn't do it before), Knowledge of using Advance Variations of 3 Haki types, Awakens his Mythical DF, Actually becoming JOYBOY, Adding Wano as his Territory, will become the only people alive closest to discovering the One Piece (3/4 Road Poneglyphs WCI,Mink tribe, Wano), Have someone who can actually read said Poneglyphs and possibly addition of Yamato (Maybe the WG would feel like Yamato knows some knowledge about the Void Century because of her fathers connections)
Given all of that above, I think WG would go extreme to purposely make his next bounty even higher than Rogers Bounty, basically hoping that other peoples like Pirates and Bounty Hunters would be stupid enough to attempt to assassinate him.
Jeez man.
I think 5.5 -5.6 really suits him
Make it 6 or 7
10 bil minimum
It will deffo go up just on a fact that he is Joy Boy. I mean this is after 800 years..its gonna be huge 💖
It should go higher the gorosei said that kaido enslaving an entire country and amassing a giant war aka kaido’s wrath is not as bad as luffy awakening his fruit
I honestly think 5.656B is good because it's surpasses Rogers Bounty, and it's A word pun for Go Mu, Yes I think Strength wise Roger is still stronger than Luffy, but because Luffy awakens his fruit, he becoming Joyboy is probably the worst case scenario for WG and the biggest threat to them, He'll also become the most wanted person surpassing even his father

I have health problems and don't know if I'll survive to the end of the story,and I've been reading it for nearly 20 years since I was a little kid, but seeing Luffy reach this level and if he actually takes down a yonko will be enough for me. Like Ace said, I know he'll be able to do it.. It's funny, Luffy is like a really old and beloved friend to me who I endlessly root for, and I remember the days when he didn't even have a real ship and it was just him and zoro floating around aimlessly in random little boats. Just getting to the grand line seemed like an impossible far off dream in those days, and now One Piece is actually in Luffy's sights.
18:14 🤣🤣 didn't expect Carry to be there.
I feel like people don’t understand how long oda planned out one piece this man is a genius
Luffy powers is going to heal all of wano from sad and make them happy 😃 and thus override smile fruits and make them human again as I think luffy can pass his powers to others
I really hope that happens
That would be cool
@@DeathsSON213 Its a DF not chakra i dont honestly think he can do this.
i laughed all the time man. bless you. salute from Greece
I always thought blackbread was going to be the main antagonist. He’s posed a problem since early on, in a way difference since compared to big mom, kaido, etc.
He still is. Even if he’s not as strong of Kaido his biggest strength is that he can nullify devil fruits. And given the years remember his black hole ability he used to swallow a entire town? He could probably engulf a entire island at this point he could make it very hard for Luffy to get near him and if he does he can nullify him if he grabs Luffy. And the tremor fruit ads a whole nother level of bs
Yeah, who likes black bread? It just make sense he is the or one of the major antagonist... White bread eater here.
is black beards fruit probably a mythical zoan aswell? i mean his powers cant be explained with the properties of darkness aswell aswell as his disability to turn into his element. its a little bit hinted like luffys show ablities couldnt be explained just by the properties of rubber and gum.
@@thanquolrattenherz9665 lol no. Luffy’s fruit was given a false name and class because the WG wanted to keep the fruit true nature under wraps. Gonna be stupid if every other fruit is like that. BB’s fruit is just a logia.
@@doomslayer1210 there still wouldn’t be that many mythical fruits there’s like 6 out of thousands of charecters
Gorosei said that they have been looking for the fruit for 800 years that somewhat tells us that they are 800 years old
They said the government has for 800 yrs. Before even their time.
Wow who would have thought Luffy would become a reality bender out of nowhere
I wonder if Luffy's Gear 5 is the cure to the Smile devil fruit side effect
I really loved the hiyori moment and the way it mirrored the momo moment how hiyori was proud to bear the kozuki name when momo hesitated
I skipped that part
That part of the chapter was underrated
Well this is certainly an interesting way to give Luffy the power to stand up to Blackbeard. I always thought he'd be able to consume 2 fruits as well but giving him the most OP one works too
Can't wait for this to get animated
Maybe the drawback this time for Gear 5 is that, like when someone gets the fever, (heart beats faster, Luffy's heart beating fast and loud like a drum) it makes them immobile and needs to "recover" or rest for a long time unlike Gear 3 and 4 where after 10 mins he's able to stand back up, and maybe during this time (Luffy recovering) is when it jumps to the Elbaf arc...
i actually think he won't have any limitations ..
Nah he won’t have a drawback since his gear 5 is just his fruit awakening and when he uses gear 4th he won’t have strain anymore since he can just make his body bigger easily just by thinking
Or he dies like Roger
First time on this channel had a blast .. thank you TH-cam recommended 💯 .
this actually explains luffys Red hawk attack as he generates the flames through the power of his imagination
And also explains axe kick with lightning in his foot his imagination 😳
@@jacobplays943 what about gaumeee team ah maruhabaa?????
also kong organ gun
red hawk was friction and speed. he can’t just breathe fire cause he imagines it. it will stay rubber based youngbloods
One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates . 🎈
Spitting
I'm just gonna act like I understood that
Well done, mate
Luffy has the POWER of "THE MASK." The Jim Carrie movie. The only reason I don't like this is because Luffy has the power that is only limited to his imagination which includes othe Devil Fruits ability. Which means Luffy can do whatever he wants.
Sorry I don't like this because now Luffy is OP and nothing can stop him and nothing is a threat to him. Now you can say every gear Luffy had has a draw cool great. How long are those draw backs really a thing 1 maybe 2 fights. Also where they really draws back or did Luffy imagination make him think there would be draw backs. Sorry this ability while fun and great. Just means Luffy is a walk "Deus Ex Machina" that's only explaination need is "Luffy imagination."
@@riotak0009 we don't kno yet to what extent luffy can tap into this power... he may be OP but he may be a noob at using this power... this is his litteral first time turning into his "beat form" if you will.
@@MichaelImo That fair, but when your applying the "The Mask" which is toon logic to everything you touch and it as you say not knowing the extent of his powers. Then nothing else matters. Because the point of "Toon Logic" is simply there is nothing logical about it nothing is impossible now. That the issue now.
@@riotak0009 Nope so far the only person who have counter for luffy is Blackbeard A.K.A Marshall.D.Teach. With his yami yami no mi(dark dark fruit). Which appereantly negs DF, also works like mini blackhole, can control gravitional force to an extent and pull object and living things inside. We still dont know how strong is he after timeskip, Luffy also have a counter to his Gura Gura no mi(tremor tremor fruit) and with his adv conq BB cannot touch him fuck luffy is OP.
@@hisamahmed9373 True until you remember what Blackbeard said about his Devil Fruit. While he is a Logia his body doesn't allow objects to past through actually all physical attacks that hit him are actually doubled. So double the damage done to someone by a "Toon." Also add in the fact Luffy's power is only limited to his imagination so Luffy could counter Blackbeard's Black Hole with painting it white. Again "Toon Logic" mean no logic. Also you want him to counter the Gura Gura no Mi that's even easier. Earthquake, but everything is rubber like a huge bounce castle.
Since Luffy has inherited joyboys will. I think is in the process of inheriting the will of "the right hand man of joyboys" which there probably was but we still don't know that. We can confirm that joyboys had a crew cuz zunesha was a part of it
this was a banging video
Luffys awakening is basically Toon Force and I’m all here for it 😂🔥
It's not just toon force, it was stated that nika can fight in whatever way he liked, what's happening right now is how luffy wants to fight with kaido, so you are limiting it to toon force.
One piece chapter review
Yusuf:Talks about two manga pages and talks about theories
One piece community:(sigh)Sid please step in and finish the chapter
peak piece 🤯🤯 literally cant wait for the next chapter
Oda already foreshadowed Luffy's awakening when Nekomamushi starts a Banquet at Zou when he was injured You can see Luffy posed like the Sun God's pose
SUCH A GREAT VIDEO
You literally didn’t even watch it yet
He just dropped it how you know
Ally
It hasn't even been a minute since been uploaded
Bruh
Been a minute since I’ve watched one of your vids bro keep up the great work
Its pretty crazy to think you can describe Luffy's new powers with
"what's Luffies new powers? Whatever the F*CK he wants!"
He's gonna punch you with Fire, kick ur ass with lightning then turn ur ass into a cartoon.
There has to be some type of drawback to it IMO because I feel like these powers just made him ridiculously OP. Like does haki even matter now? How can you fight against a literal cartoon that can do whatever they have in their imagination?
@@jeremyroberts8822 Its like Mr Fantastic, in the comics he can form his body at the molecular level and without the drawbacks of rubber like luffy had before g5 where he would need to return to his original form after an attack(snapping back his arm for ex). So luffy can now FORM himself into a looney -tunes esque way but he can't just have nigh invinciblity like looney tunes characters do.
no bruh he probably has fire and rubber and thats it, being creative and free doesnt imply having these powers along bruh they meant he can shape his rubber to any form
@@jeremyroberts8822 its his fruit awakening no drawbacks
Luffy’s awakening reminds me of brook’s fruit, it’s like the fruit became more alive when the user dies, brook never even knew what his devil fruit did and after he died he was reborn, and now luffy died and now he is reborn and knows his fruit more
yea, but not at all similar
Man I love how you do these videos
I'm not sure if anyone else has thought of this. But if Luffy is the Sun God, then IM may be the Moon God. The Aztec Moon God/Goddess was afraid of the Sun God, which could explain why IM has been trying to obtain the Nika fruit. And we know that the room IM was in was like a freezer, so it could be hot vs cold there.
ooooo you may be onto something
she might have hito hito no mi moon god akin xD
What do you mean she ?
@@chevbenjamin2985 it hasn't been confirmed, but some people speculate that IM is a girl due to the almond shape of the eyes. I think that's why anyway. He/she/it at this point lol.
@@chevbenjamin2985 yeah if it was a she it would be very sad no need for a girl to be the strongest character luffy has to defeat thats just bs if you ask me
What if Luffys power is bringing his imagination to reality, and that would explain why his body was rubber and immune to electricity. Because he believed that’s what the fruit did, so him believing that made it a reality.
And going back to the part about Zoans personality having an influence, maybe that’s just how Nika/Joy Boy preferred to fight. And why the Gorosei decided to rename the fruit to the rubber fruit, because that was their preferred and most well known ability.
This ability would make Lucy incredibly OP, but would fix the plot holes on why the sun god/this fruit makes your body rubber.
The World Elder said the rubber was apart of his fruit
@@Jr-rl2gt Could be like I said, the rubber fighting style was part of Nikas personality, if Zoan fruits really do have a mind of their own and carry over their personality then that would still make it a part of Luffys fruit
Bro video is sick loved it lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻
From the beginning of the manga, judging from the name of Luffy's family, I think they were already hinting this outcome.
The fact that luffy came from the Monkey family, and his gear five now grants him the ability of to do anything, and is only limited by his imagination, he sounds like the Monkey King Sun Wukong from the journey to the west.
I'm pretty sure he was always a reference to Sun Wukong, it still ties in though.
Fans: Wow we predicted everything perfectly
Oda: The fans are coming up with great ideas, I should use them
The pink flash of the big scabbard @5:51 (5:52) kinda threw me off for a sec, until I managed to pause it on the frame 🤣
Well luffy was always the underdog, there was always someone stronger, but we have to remember, he wants to be the pirate king, he needs to be at least at yonko's level. Personaly i think it is great he tapped to his potential and after 1400+ chapters he is at that level.
