[Theory] Devil Fruit RE-Awakening

[TheNuetrix]

[I CAME UP WITH THIS THEORY ON MY OWN SO IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THE IDEA BEFORE ME GOOD FOR THEM I DID NOT STEAL THIS]

So obviously Luffy has no chance against a Yonko as he is now and we all know he is going to need to awaken.
I'm assuming that like Haki it would take a few years to master an awakening, but based on the current situation the chances of a second time skip anytime soon are very low. So how could Luffy awaken in as short a period of time as possible to take on Kaido? Suppose he doesn't need to awaken, what if he already has.

As we know when a Devil Fruit user dies their DF re-spawns. What if the previous owner of the Gum-Gum fruit had already awakened and after re-spawning the fruit maintains its previous abilities. Therefore Luffy is already awakened and he just doesn't know it yet. Instead of taking years of training to awaken, Luffy can take a few days max to learn how to "activate" his dormant abilities. Luffy knew nothing about awakenings prior to his fight with Doflamingo.

This could also apply to Blackbeard. No doubt Whitebeard was awakened and perhaps the previous user of the Dark-Dark fruit had also awakened before. Blackbeard would have acquired 2 awakened devil fruits in less than a year and this is why he wanted these two specific fruits so badly, he knew what he was getting out of it.

I think this is a logical, non-@$$pull way for Oda to bypass years of training in the story.
Just a theory.

It's very possible I don't even think the whole awakening thing is a good idea. Idk to me it seems everyone's putting all their eggs in luffy needs to awaken his devil fruit but what more can he do. If anything he already awakened it with G2 G3 and didn't realize it like you said

I disagree, what we've seen so far with both Doflamingo and Katakuri (who both happen to be paramecia) is that their awakenings allowed them to turn their surroundings into strings/mocchi. I feel like that's the trend that will be set for awakenings, or at least for paramecia which would mean Luffy's awakening would allow him to turn his surroundings into rubber.. a bit goofy but fits Luffy and Oda is creative enough to make it work out.

As for the theory.. I personally doubt that, reminds me of One for All from Boku no Hero

 

[Dannie]

Only flaw in this little theory is that we don't even know if anyone besides Luffy has ever even eaten the gum gum fruit, so if Luffy was the only person to eat it then this theory would not even work.

 

[juzumaki]

Doffy said awakening changes the body as well as the environment how it changes the body is what i think will help luffy the most i hope it increases his control over all so that he can maintain g4 without having to use haki constantly.

OP: SO basically he'd inherit the knowledge of the past user? It could go the Jinchuriki root where there i a actual demon sleeping and when it awakes it gives him access to more abilities or the full potential of his fruit.

Dogtooth is logia and Doflamingo is paramythia but you're right that both of them turned their surroundings into their elements, according to Doflamingo awakening can affect the objects around them without any stamina dumping. But somehow I don't think turning his surrounding into rubber will actually help luffy in battle. Unless it's to get away.

I feel like it's inevitable but luffy's awakening is going to be Size Alteration. I don't like it but it's pointing that way with the physical demand with his gears and all his opponents being bigger. If I'm wrong then I'm sure it's what you said 100%. Don't know how Oda will make that work though.


And OP, Luffy's known about awakening since the impel down when Crocodile told him and he still did nothing about it over the course of 2 years. Maybe it's a matter of learning how that's his problem

Katakuri is a Special-Paramecia

As for turning his surroundings into rubber, he could use it as a spring of sorts to gain more speed when launching an attack and possibly even create a trampoline effect to send his opponents flying. But yeah, there may be other types of awakenings but for now I'll stick to my theory on Luffy's potential awakening.

You're right! I was being slow there because I just remembered that Logias cannot put haki on their devil fruit element, it explains why Dogtooth was able to physically match Luffy too.
Thank you for the clarification.

I want to know how that would help Luffy because other people will take advantage of creating trampolines too. Unless Luffy is gonna be like Dc's plastic man?

I'm not really familiar with DC so wouldn't know, but I may be far off on what it'll actually be like but I trust Oda to make something seemingly goofy work out in a cool way. I mean, I didn't see G4 coming the way it did.

Dc's plastic man can reassemble his body after it's been broken into pieces. Like say you turn him to stone then shatter him, he can use those pieces to stretch back together again back to his humanoid form.

Plastic man has size alteration too but I thought your focus was on luffy assimilating himself from fatal damages but the only difference this time is that Luffy would use his surroundings help to re attach himself.

 

[1summon2]

Turning his surroundings in to rubber, to me would be just a copy of all other DF awakenings. Would like it if luffy's awakining would focus on stretching,absorbing & reflecting in normal size than turning ape-like

 

[ArabianLuffy]

What the awakened GUMO has to do with "a presumed previous GOMU owner"?

 

[Tyrance sasuke]

I believe the power to attract everybody to himself like mihawk put it, is a gomu ability. Like in a way, he's pulling people like a rubber band to his side. Now this is an abstract power, but if the power materializes and literally pulls people to his side with force, and control them, it would be a cool powerup.

Kaido has the luck of the Devil himself, it's gonna take so much more than a simple awakening to stand before the almighty Emperor.

Or he unlocked it training with Rayleigh and hasn't shown us yet like he did when he didn't use G4 to break up the Noah despite having it then.

Very possible we've yet to see what he's done In that 1/2 year he wasn't with Rayleigh. I don't see it being unveiled in this fight anyways if he even gets one

Y'all wilding the hell out with these theories now lmfaooo

Luffy not using G4 to break up the Noah makes sense because G4 wouldn't last long enough. Also, he was losing blood and strength from Hody's bite, so he probably wouldn't have had the stamina to keep G4 up anyways. Hell, the air he blew into his muscles would probably escape from how deep the bite was.
