Not long ago, Luffy opened five files and officially won the title of "Sun God", but he did not expect that in the latest plot of One Piece, Luffy won a new title, named "Thor". Many people praised Luffy's fruit as too powerful, not only possessing the characteristics of three series of other fruits, but also controlling "thunder and lightning", such a fruit made the four emperors blackbeard salivate when they looked at it. Many fans said that Oda improved Luffy's strength too quickly, and has continued to strengthen his personal strength since the start of the Ghost Island War.
First the hegemony, then the fruit awakening, and Luffy's fruit awakening shows more comprehensive abilities than other fruits. So then again, why is Luffy's fruit so powerful? Does his new title, "Thor," fit into his current state? Let me take a brief look at it.
Controlling thunder and lightning is assimilated through fruit
First of all, although in the comic, Luffy is holding "Thunder and Lightning", as if he has fully mastered the "Thunder and Lightning", this so-called "Thunder and Lightning" may not have been made by Luffy out of thin air, and it was Kaido's "ThunderCloud" that really summoned the thunder. As we all know, every time the Four Emperor Kaido incarnates into a dragon form, lightning and thunder will be thunderous, and the appearance of the divine dragon will naturally be accompanied by thunderclouds, so the "thunder" in Luffy's hand may be more likely to be derived from Kaido's thunderclouds.
So why did Luffy control Thunder and Lightning? This has a lot to do with the awakening of its fruits. When Luffy fought with the Fourth Emperor Kaido under the action of the fifth gear, he repeatedly assimilated the surrounding environment, and even assimilated Kaido and his own body. The thunder and lightning born of the thundercloud were just assimilated by Luffy's fruit, which is why Luffy can control the lightning at will, because now he can assimilate any substance, including the lightning in nature. As for the title "Thor", it is more just Haimi's ridicule of Luffy, from the perspective of "Thunder Characteristics", Luffy is far inferior to Anilu.
Luffy's fruit assimilates everything in the world
From the point of view of Luffy's control of lightning, the most powerful place of rubber fruit is to be able to assimilate "everything in the world", of course, comprehensively improving Luffy's personal ability is also a point that cannot be ignored, but the most important thing is "assimilation". Luffy's "assimilation" is similar to the "elementalization" of the natural system, under the action of fruit awakening, no matter what kind of damage Luffy suffers, it will assimilate the source of damage, of course, pain is inevitable.
Even if he is attacked by the Four Emperor Kaido, Luffy's body will still not be fatally injured, but due to the strength of the attack, his body will undergo a certain deformation. In a certain situation, Luffy under the action of the fifth gear is already an "invincible" existence, because he can avoid any damage, and the damage source will automatically become a "rubber attribute" when it hits himself, so Luffy in this state will not receive any fatal damage. Unless, of course, he can't stand the pain.
The fifth gear is strong, but at present, Luffy's personal ability cannot be fully controlled
Since the rubber fruit is so powerful, is Luffy really invincible? In fact, there are still many ways to defeat Luffy, first of all, Luffy's own physical fitness problems. Judging from the performance of the fifth gear, Luffy needs to rely on a lot of physical strength (even vitality) to barely maintain, and there has been a state of fatigue in the confrontation with Kaido, obviously Luffy's current physical fitness can not fully control the "fifth gear".
Secondly, luffy's most buggy is the fruit awakening, so as long as there is a means to restrain the fruit, in theory, Luffy can be restricted. For example, the sea tower stone, the sea, the dark fruit of blackbeard, etc. It is worth noting that the Hailou Stone is only theoretically effective, because it is reasonable to say that Kaido's weapon has a Hailou Stone component, and I don't know why it still has no effect on Luffy, and perhaps it is also "assimilated" by it.
However, Blackbeard's dark fruit is definitely the key to restraining Luffy, no wonder Oda Sensei regards Blackbeard as Luffy's ultimate enemy, because only he can restrict Luffy, and other enemies can only fight Luffy through "consumption", and it is not known how long Kaido can resist Luffy's attack.
