The week of the suspension, just to talk about the "rubber fruit", from the 1044 episodes "Renren Fruit Esper Species Nika Form" to the latest 1046 episodes. In these 3 words, the display of Luffy's demonic fruit ability can be said to be more and more "nonsense", or it can be said that it is more and more "outrageous".
Human Fruit Esper Species Nika Form
First of all, it must be the diaphragm response to the rubber fruit "renaming and changing the line", which is the feeling of many sea fans at that time.
But can this be explained? The answer must be yes, for example, why "animal fruit for everyone"? The Five Old Stars said that the animal demon fruit itself is a will. The former "Rubber Fruit" awakener is indeed a personal figure. Why the esper species? Because esper species are often considered to be the top animal-based demon fruits, as for Nika, it is more like a description of the previous "awakened person".
The popular explanation is that the person who possessed this demon fruit 800 years ago was named "Nika", and his awakening strength made the world government jealous, so this fruit was determined by his strength to be "everyone fruit esper species Nika form". In order to hide the true power of this demon fruit, it was renamed "Superman Rubber Fruit".
A demonstration of the ability of the fruit after awakening
We must first state this premise, although the performance of the fruit is becoming more and more "nonsense", but in essence it is still a continuation of the rubber fruit.
In the past, when we looked at Luffy's rubber fruit evolution, we undoubtedly couldn't avoid a premise, that is, "pumping", which was the case in the second gear, the third gear, and the fourth gear. After the awakening, Luffy called it "five gears".
Compared with the previous ones, they are more casually "controlled", get rid of the premise of "pumping", and can be released more freely.
In the face of Kaido's hot breath, Luffy lifted the ground and blocked the hot breath with the ground, with what? With the "rubber" attribute, he then bounced the hot breath back to Kaido. Here, just like Mingge in the beginning, the "awakening" of ability can have an effect on things other than the ability person himself, and can turn things around him into rubber.
Of course, it is not limited to "dead things", living creatures Luffy can also change, whether it is to prop up Kaido's belly, or to extend his arm from Kaido's eyes, or to Kaido's punch headshot, which confirms that Luffy gave Kaido some rubber attributes in the battle with Kaido.
In the ensuing battle with Kaido, Kaido also made it clear that Luffy's "transformation" of this fruit was unique to the animal system! That is, this change after Luffy's awakening, the change of "Nika form". That is to say, Luffy is at this time the characteristics of the "Superman System" and "Animal System", and the dual-line Demon Fruit Ability.
So that to the latest words, Luffy held the "thunder and lightning" in his hand, of course, you can also understand the effect of "poor vision", Luffy did not hold the thunder and lightning. But I personally looked at the higher definition pictures or think that it should be holding the "thunder and lightning", otherwise Luffy clenched one hand and opened the other hand How to explain? It seems strange, if it is not holding thunder and lightning in hand, it should be more reasonable to have both hands as fists.
summary
To sum up a little, Luffy's performance after awakening to this point is to control the "rubber" body more freely, give the outside rubber attributes (including to people), and hold thunder and lightning in his hand, of course, including the "change" implied by Kaido's theory, the dual-lineage demon fruit ability.
In the past, we understood Luffy's Demon Fruit Ability as indeed inertial thinking to understand, but now this is not the case, because this Demon Fruit is given a deeper "meaning". To put it bluntly, it is not a simple devil fruit, just like a web novel, the protagonist must have a "special meaning" to strengthen the protagonist, this thing can make the protagonist open and hang, it is as simple as that.
The evolution of Luffy, the "keeper" of the Pirate World, in order to defeat the Pirate World, is the inevitable result, but how is this demon fruit understood? That is the benevolent see the wise, you say it is reasonable? Is there an explanatory reason why you say it's unreasonable? That does feel a little awkward.
In a word, the right to explain is in Oda, we look happy, at this time Kaido can only look down and sigh, hey! Stick after stick, can teach all the teaching, when is a head!
