Luffy's "gear" promotion has always been a hot topic of discussion among Haimi, and now he has finally completed the transformation of the "five gears" and reached a higher realm of fruit, that is, "fruit awakening". To know that before this awakening, even Luffy himself did not know that he had mastered the "Fruit Awakening", and even recently said that he would use the "last four gears" to defeat Kaido, which shows that Luffy's "Fruit Awakening" is a certain accident.
In other words, Luffy's "fruit awakening" is the need to achieve a certain condition in order to truly trigger the ultimate power of the fruit. Many sea fans believe that this time Luffy is the closest to a battle to "death", his confrontation with Kaido due to the chaos of CP0, resulting in the front hard to eat the attack of the four emperor Kaido, thus the vitality of the sudden loss or even on the verge of death, so the necessary condition to achieve the "fruit awakening" should be "infinitely close to death" (desperate) or "already dead".
Looking back at the previous plot, you will find that Luffy has been on the verge of death in his adventures many times, why didn't he awaken before? Instead, it was a coincidence that the awakening was completed during the battle against the Four Emperors, or the role of the "protagonist aura"? Let's have a brief chat with me.
The "fruit awakening" that no one has done in 800 years
Let's consider "death" as a key factor in the awakening of the Nika Fruit. As we all know, Luffy did die many times in his previous adventures, such as being defeated by Lao Sha, Lu Qi and others in the early days, and once fell into a desperate state, but Luffy still did not trigger the so-called "Fruit Awakening", the most critical reason for which is probably the particularity of the "Nika Fruit" itself.
The reason why nika fruit has never "awakened" during the 800 years is because of the difficulty of awakening. According to the five old stars, they have been looking for the "Nika Fruit" for hundreds of years, but they have not really found it, so during these hundreds of years, Luffy is certainly not the only one who has become the ability of the "Nika Fruit", and there will be people in other periods of time who eat the "Nika Fruit", but they have not been able to reach the point of "Fruit Awakening" without exception, indicating that ordinary people cannot reach the awakening realm of this fruit.
Perhaps one of the reasons that affects the awakening of the fruit is "personal strength". At the beginning, Luffy's strength was too weak to support the "Fruit Awakening". Only when the strength of the ability reaches a certain intensity, it is possible to trigger the "fruit awakening", after all, there are many capable people on the sea, but there are very few people who really achieve the "fruit awakening", which shows that it is still very difficult to achieve the fruit awakening, not to mention the demon fruit like the "Nika fruit", which has its own particularity.
Although it has reached a desperate situation many times, it has not "really died"
In addition to the particularity of the "fruit" itself, another reason may be because Luffy has never "really died" before. Luffy did die many times in the previous plot, but after that, he would be "resurrected" due to various factors, resulting in Luffy never entering the "real death". It wasn't until the battle with Kaido that he really fell into the final death, which was also a key factor in the awakening of the "Nika Fruit", as everyone guessed.
Only when Luffy is truly dead can the awakening phase of the "Nika Fruit" be triggered. It is worth mentioning that the reason why the Fourth Emperor Kaido always thinks of "breaking itself" is probably because Old Master Kaido knows that "death" is the secret of the awakening of the fruit, but he does not know that this condition only has an effect on the "Nika Fruit".
Fruit Awakening is a post-complement setting
Of course, the above mentioned is the setting conjecture within the plot, if it is analyzed according to the plot, it must be because the "fruit awakening" is a supplementary setting. Two years ago, Oda-sensei simply proposed the concept of "fruit awakening" in the promotion of the castle chapter, and it was not until two years later that Tokushima really let the audience feel the power of "fruit awakening" through the mouth of Mingo.
Therefore, Oda Sensei initially did not improve Luffy's "fruit awakening", after all, the interval between the intervals is too long, the specific situation is still according to the progress of the plot, if you come up to give Luffy "fruit awakening", then "One Piece" can not be serialized for so many years.
