In the latest episode of "One Piece", Oda solved the two epic problems about the protagonist Luffy's "Fruit Awakening" and "Five Gears" in one breath, as the protagonist of the popular anime, if you want to "open and hang" without reducing the logic of the plot, you still need a certain amount of technology, most of the Haemy said that you can accept Luffy's "Fruit Awakening" (that is, the fifth gear), thinking that Oda Sensei handled it well.
Luffy, who entered the fifth gear, did show amazing strength, and in the battle with Kaido, he almost completely suppressed it, to know that not long ago Kaido was also called "the strongest pirate", but now he is going to be ruthlessly crushed by Luffy, I don't know how Kaido will feel. Of course, Kaido, as a strong man of a generation, will not concede defeat, and he will release a hot breath to Luffy, but it is worth noting that Luffy actually used his fruit ability to assimilate the ground and rebounded the hot breath with the "rubberized" ground.
Many Haemype wondered, "assimilating things other than oneself" is not the ability of superhuman fruit awakening? But now that Luffy is already an esper species ability, why can he still achieve the same effect? Let me analyze it briefly.
The awakening effects differ between the three major systems
As we all know, there are three major lines of Demon Fruit, and the "awakening effect" of the three major lines in the previous plot should be different. Superman is able to have an impact on "things other than itself", the animal system is able to get "super recovery ability and combat effectiveness", as for the awakening of the natural system, the current plot has not been officially announced, combined with the results of the war between the red dog and the pheasant, it may be a permanent change in the environmental terrain, of course, this is just a conjecture.
There are not many people in the plot who really achieve the ability to "fruit awakening", but according to these few "fruit awakeners", they basically follow the above "definition of awakening". Like Mingo, Katakuri, Kidd, Rowe, and even Barrett and Tezzolo in the theatrical version, these superhuman fruit-bearing abilities have an impact on "things other than themselves" when they awaken.
If you follow Luffy's previous superhuman ability setting, then the "assimilated ground" after this awakening is very much in line with its own setting. But now Luffy is an esper species ability, the animal system fruit awakening is a certain difference from the superhuman system fruit awakening, according to logic, Luffy should not have super recovery ability and combat effectiveness?
Maybe it's the ability of the Nika fruit, not the assimilation environment
In fact, Luffy, under the action of fruit awakening, has indeed greatly improved his combat effectiveness, which has been confirmed in the comics. The author believes that the reason why Luffy was able to achieve an effect similar to the "Superman Fruit Awakening" (assimilating things other than itself) may be due to the "self-ability" of the Nika Fruit. As the fruit of the esper species, there is a certain secret in itself, and we have little information to use except to know the true name of the fruit.
But one thing is certain, that is, the particularity of the existence of this fruit is unique in the entire One Piece world, then the ability released by the Nika fruit may not be single, and perhaps Luffy can make the ground "rubberized", which is the ability of the Nika fruit itself rather than the universal effect after the awakening. In other words, nika fruit comes with the ability to give anything a "rubber property."
Esper species are different from other fruits
The five old stars have shown that the animal line fruit can have a host will, which alone is enough to prove that the animal line fruit is different from the other two line fruits. So does being a more special branch of the fauna, the esper species, mean that their abilities cannot be discerned only according to normal logic?
Looking back at the previous esper fruit, it seems that each fruit has its own unusual ability, such as the nine-tailed fox fruit of Dai Peng in the black ball itself comes with "transparency ability", but it can be seen from the name that this fruit is not only "transparent". Another example is the Green Dragon Fruit of the Four Emperors Kaido, which can not only incarnate into three forms, but also be able to summon wind and rain, summon lightning and lightning, and these abilities tell us a fact that the esper species fruit is "different".
Looking back at the bridge section of Luffy's assimilation environment, perhaps this is really just the ability of Nika Fruit, after all, how can the "Sun God" thing be analyzed with normal logic!
