But yes the amount of punishment he can take when before he was a bit of a glass cannon is surprising to say the least. Then again OP never was really consistent when it came to battles and imo that never was it's selling point either. | ||

Why does Kaido even bother with those comically oversized conventional bombs if he has nukes at his disposal? | ||

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keshi His awakening would enable him to "erase" things... which could mean anything from punching holes in things to perhaps erasing someone from history. Seems like everything falls into place neatly with this theory: the legendary sun god Nika, Who's Who getting fired for losing the fruit, the Gorosei freaking out about a hidden devil fruit that's about to awaken, and Luffy being in the perfect position to awaken his fruit just like Law and Kidd just did. | ||

Isn't it still unclear how awakening works and what are the conditions? Why would Luffy be in a better position to awaken than 2 years ago? | ||

If I was the Gorosei, I would keep tabs on the fruit ever since it disappeared and manage its ownership. Isn't it still unclear how awakening works and what are the conditions? Why would Luffy be in a better position to awaken than 2 years ago? + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/xYiCEYX.png) Look at these panels. The Gorosei mentioned that the fruit is a legend, even to them, and say the the world government (not them) gave a specific name to this fruit. This seems to imply that the decision to hide the fruit came before their time and it's not even something that they're fully aware of, given that it's a legend. Furthermore, just before they mention the fruit they talk about erasing a nuisance and that a war with the Yonko could end up with someone dying. Now it could be that they were talking about Nico Robin here, but clearly they are trying to capture her not kill her. Why would they bother kidnapping someone they could just kill? Clearly there's another nuisance that they want dead and they hope they'll die in a battle with Kaido/Big Mom. I'm pretty sure this is Luffy. As for what triggers awakening, I don't know 100% but I'm assuming it's the same thing as what levels up Haki - being in a desperate battle. Knowing Oda and typical shonen stereotypes, that's usually where powerups come from, and it just so happens that Luffy is in a desperate battle right now. That's why he's currently the perfect candidate to awaken his fruit. Two years ago, he was still a newbie that didn't even know Haki. Now that he's on the same level as Yonko, the danger of him actually awakening his fruit is much higher than when he could barely take on a Shichibukai. This is why it's such a concern for the Gorosei | ||

I guess it can't be Law either, since the Marines are fairly aware of the fruit. But what would give them the cue to link Luffy's fruit to the legendary fruit now? If awakening is triggered only with a high-pressure battle situation, then the conversation does make sense. The OP world sure is chaotic, one person's traits are able to change world politics. | ||

Its just very suspect writing for them to be referring to Luffy's fruit imo, even if I think its probable that they are. | ||

I also don't get why Luffy is duking it out with regular attacks, wasn't the "penetrating Haki attack" his trump card previously? | ||

Im kind of glad that its looking like Luffy will lose, really sells what absolute monstrosities the Yonkou are. Big Mom lost but it at least was a serious 2v1 against two very strong opponents. | ||
