There's too many puns for me to know if you're being serious or not but I actually like the idea.
Doflamingo on Devil Fruit awakenings:
[ ]
In rare occasions, one's abilities "awaken" and begin to affect not just their own body, but their surroundings!
Luffy:
Everything's become string! It's almost like he isn't a Paramecia User!
His awakened String ability allowed him to change his surrounding environment into string and control it.
This mimics that ability of a Logia type.



On the topic of Gravity, Space, and Time:

[ ]
It was not a force, as Sir Isaac Newton had supposed, but a consequence of the distortion of space and time, conceived together in his theory as 'space-time'. Any object distorts the fabric of space-time and the bigger it is, the greater the effect.
Just as a bowling ball placed on a trampoline stretches the fabric and causes it to sag, so planets and stars warp space-time - a phenomenon known as the 'geodetic effect'.
[ ]
Space and time are a kind of "fabric" of reality and like any fabric they can stretch, bend and even fold.
[ ]
This means that objects and even light that move through space near a large mass will travel on a curved path. Furthermore, it means that mass can stretch or shrink time as well.
[ ]
Space and time in Einstein's universe are no longer flat (as implicitly assumed by Newton) but can pushed and pulled, stretched and warpedby matter.
A standard way to illustrate this idea is to place a bowling ball (representing a massive object such as the sun) onto a stretched rubber sheet (representing spacetime).
Visualizing the "big stretch":
[ ]

Gravitational Time-Dilation:



What if Luffy were to do the same? What if he could manipulate one of the universe's intrinsic properties? To what extent could he stretch his surroundings?

Other notable examples:​
Whitebeard breaking the surrounding air and space around him:

The air is cracking!?
Oda in Volume 58 reassuring readers that Whitebeard is not a Logia:
[ ]


Bartholomew's devil fruit grants him the ability to repel.
[ ]

He can repel pain and fatigue away:
[ ]

Here he demonstrates compressing a massive amount of air into a small paw shaped bubble:
[ ]

He can potentially create blackholes if he were to compress a gargantuan amount of mass into a confined bubble.
He can instantaneously propel himself and others over a large distance.

Regardless if Luffy's awakening will have anything to do with bending time and space itself, the topic of devil fruit powers and quantum physics is really intriguing. How can an innocent devil fruit power hold so much potential?

Gear Second only shortened his lifespan pre timeskip but not anymore as he has overcome the drawbacks of G2 and G3.
