[Discussion] Which Straw Hat is a bigger threat?

[MickNerks]

With the introduction of Devil Fruit Awakenings, it seems obvious that members of the StrawHats will get a major power boost further down in the story. With that being said, out of the 3 paramecia users in the crew, who do you think would be the most dangerous if they Awakened their Devil Fruit. This decision should be made by excluding their skill in haki and only focusing of the POWER OF THE FRUIT by itself.



The 3 choices are:

Spoiler

Luffy (Gomu Gomu No Mi) - Luffy potentially could have the ability to turn his surroundings or people into rubber.

Robin (Hana Hana No Mi) - Robin potentially could have the ability to turn her surroundings into any of her body parts, or turn buildings into giant clones of herself. Her potential if ever awakened is almost limitless.

Brook (Yomi Yomi No Mi) - I think if he ever awakened his fruit he would be able to bring the dead souls in the underworld to the physical world to fight on his behave or manipulate the souls of the living. From the description he gave to how he learned to control his powers [

], he stated that he is connected to an unlimited supply of energy that allows his soul to exist in this world and he is able to bring elements of the underworld to the physical world (such as the chill of the underworld), this could mean that when fully awakened brook will be able to turn his entire surroundings into the underworld and manipulate it with the unlimited supply of energy he is connected to.

Who do you guys think has the most dangerous Awakening Potential out of those 3 Strawhats?

 

[loj]

Monkey D. Luffy.

His G4 was pretty OP and now if u awake it...

Power house right there.

 

[CrimsonReaper]

Luffy..i thought this was obvious. :|

 

[Punk Hazard]

Either Robin or Brook. Brook has massive potential for hax, and Robin's fruit would be the most dangerous if she and it weren't underdeveloped.

 

[MickNerks]

Luffy..i thought this was obvious. :|

Well, this is an opinion thread to get multiple people creative perspective. Just because it may be obvious to a few, doesn't mean that someone hasn't had a theory or creative hunch which they would like to share.

 

[Punk Hazard]

MFW OP said excluding Haki influence and people say Gomu Gomu no Mi because the Haki-influenced ability.

OP is basically asking, if a random person had any of these fruits, with the same stats in Haki, speed, strength, etc. with each fruit, and awakened them all, which one would be the best. You're not comparing Brook, Robin and Luffy, you're comparing an average individual with an Awakened version of the fruits. At least, that's what I've gathered from this.

 

[OG sama]

Luffys awakening will be much more effective than turning his surroundings into a bouncing house.

Anyways Brooks awakened fruit would be more dangerous, he could create an undead unkillable army.

 

[Punk Hazard]

Imagine if Oda taps into the "chills of the afterlife" power and lores and mythology. Like, imagine if Brook could bring out things similar to the five rivers in Hades. Bring out the essence of the River Lethe and induce complete forgetfulness on people he affects. The River Styx would grant exponentially higher defenses(at least one account says Achilles got his invulnerability from being dipped in the river Styx). Phlegethon would summon unquenchable hellfire. Acheron can either induce great pain(as the river of woe) or heal wounds(as the river of healing).

 

[Venomous Cobra]

Brooks devil fruit potential shits on luffys, cesar's gas gas is imo the most dangerous when it comes to awakening.

 

[V h o]

Brook although luffy will somehow be more broken

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Brooks devil fruit potential shits on luffys, cesar's gas gas is imo the most dangerous when it comes to awakening.

What about Ace/Sabo? What's more dangerous than turning people into fire?

 

[Apêx1]

I find it pretty stupid that people think Luffy will also affect the environment with his awakening. Doffy's Ito Ito is already concerned with external factors like controlling others or cutting things far away from Doffy. He can use it internally but not in a way in which it can apply its DF powers to himself. Same applies to Robin, she could probably change an entire area to arms just becuse it would fit the theme of her ability and her DF always working externally.

In Luffy's case his DF pretty much only affects himself. He's rubber and can manipulate himself, he can control the internal blood flow, etc. His DF does not affect anything externally (directly). Thus his awakening would obviously be something which is only concerned with awakening his own rubber characteristics. I'm going to guess he will become like Mr Fantastic from the Fantastic Four and gets the ability to manipulate ever cell of his body completely, but that's just my wild guess. It's not strong alone though, the user himself needs a high level CoO and Haki to make it what it could be. I'm going to guess Robin's will be the strongest since Brook will most likely be reviving fodders.

 

[TRE MERCER]

Brook he'd have Edo Tensei.​

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Brook is most likely and could be terrifying

This is EXACTLY what I was asking

 

[chopstickchakra]

I like the ideas for Brook and Robin's awakening. City sized Robin Clones would be awesome and I like the idea of Brook being able to bring back others even if it is a bit like Edo Tensei because that means theoretically he could call back WB and Ace, neither of which would have fruits but still. I can't think of a good trait for Luffy's fruit to awaken and turning a city into rubber seems like a waste. Maybe his awakening or Gear 5th whichever could be expanding his brain. I know one of the appealing traits of Luffy is his hard headed-ness but to beat some of the upcoming opponents it might come in handy if he can think a step or two ahead so expanding his brain to come up withj battle strategies sounds like it could be useful.

 

[Punk Hazard]

Brook isn't gonna be reviving dead people btw. Oda said he hates dead characters coming back to life.

He could do somethign like his lullaby song where he sends the people caught in it to the spirit world where the dead beat them up that way the dead aren't revived.

That would be "SICK"!!!! It would be very interesting if Oda follows that mythology. I personally would love if brook went from being the "Soul King" to becoming the "King of Hell".

Brooks devil fruit potential shits on luffys, cesar's gas gas is imo the most dangerous when it comes to awakening.

I agree that Cesar's would be epic, he can already manipulate the air in someone's lungs. He would be extremely powerful, but I doubt Oda will develope him further in terms of combat. Since Cesar has a devil fruit that can manipulate Gas, I wonder if there are 2 other devil fruits that can allow the user to manipulate all solids or all liquids?

What about Ace/Sabo? What's more dangerous than turning people into fire?

I don't think there power would allow them to turn people into fire. I see it being more like Akainu, which effected his surrounding in such a powerful way that it created volcanoes and a island of magma and flames. Sabo's if ever awaked would more likely also have a heavy permanent affect on his surroundings.

I find it pretty stupid that people think Luffy will also affect the environment with his awakening. Doffy's Ito Ito is already concerned with external factors like controlling others or cutting things far away from Doffy. He can use it internally but not in a way in which it can apply its DF powers to himself. Same applies to Robin, she could probably change an entire area to arms just becuse it would fit the theme of her ability and her DF always working externally.

I completely agree.

I never even looked at it like that before. Doflamingo already had external control of his surroundings with his DF which is why at a heighten level if affected everything on a more extreme level (reality warping). It only makes since that luffy's awakening would be Internal since the only thing his fruit controls is himself. He will be given a more extreme control over himself such as flattening himself with a thought or (based off natural properties of rubber) being completely resistant to cuts or tears. Idk there is so much more that rubber can do that I cant even fathom.

Brook he'd have Edo Tensei.​

Basically
