Chapter 1044: “Liberation Warrior”.
>-Some of Luffy's allies (Sanji, Kid, Law, Hyougorou and Marco) feel his presence and that he is still alive.
>-Conversation of the Gorousei in the castle of Mary Geoise.
>-The World Government has always tried to get the "Gomu Gomu no Mi", but they have not been able to do it in 800 years.
>-It seems as if that Devil Fruit ran away from them.
>-A member of the Gorousei says that he is not crazy, since the Zoan fruits have a mind of their own.
>-The Gorousei says that the "Gomu Gomu no Mi" is actually a Zoan-type fruit, and that its real name is "Hito Hito no Mi" (Human Human Fruit) Mythological-Model "Nika".
>-In the chapter we also see a part of Hiyori and Orochi.
>-Luffy has awakened the fruit from him and now he feels he is fully. It's his “Gear 5”.
>-Luffy vs. Kaidou.
>-Luffy grabs Kaidou from the roof and takes him upstairs, then attacks him in a savage way.
>-Luffy grabs the ground and transforms it into rubber to return a Boro Breath to Kaidou.
>
>A small addition from TalkOP:
>- For whoever cares about Orochi and Hiyori, the small scene is apparently Hiyori taking off her mask
>- Luffy decided to call the fruit's awakening "Gear 5": "My ultimate, that's it...!! Gear 5th"
>- Luffy can jump very high, and it looks like the Nika silhouette seen before. His body was still as flexible as rubber.
No break.
Chapter 1044: “Liberation Warrior”
I think the spoiler are fakes guys.
The hair is too different between the two pics and the face to me looks badly drawn
There's still hope
Believe in Nika.
I honestly don't mind
I think it's because I still like Luffy for who he is, meanwhile all the Oden and Ace wank nearly killed the manga for me
Reminder that just because something has been foreshadowed doesn't mean it can't contradict the themes of the story.
This doesn't contradict the themes of the story at all, its been an adventure manga. Luffy put in the hard work to make his DF useful (anyone else would've probably given up), Luffy figured out how to do all the gears, Luffy multiple times has been stated to be like Roger and a big part of OP has been about inheriting wills. I love how people are bitching about how supposedly you need the Nika fruit to find OP but you don't hear them bitching about Luffy finding one of few handful of people in the world who can read the Poneglyphs that is REQUIRED to even be able to figure out where Raftel is located.
This is worse than Naruto in every possible way
What themes, exactly? One Piece theme is the inherited will and with Zoan having minds on their own and avoiding users for 800 years means the Nika fruit literally choose Luffy as host because he had the proper mindset (will) to be the next Joyboy.
Luffy isn't like he is because he ate Nika's fruit, Luffy ate Nika's fruit precisely because he is like he is.
>Gear 5: Monkey god Awakening is now canon
APOLOGIZE
One is post awakening pre gear 5 and the other is gear 5, when he sets his hair on fire
I agree
I think Any Forums has some massive crow to eat today
NaruCHADs deserve an apology
SEA and LatAm CHADs deserve an apology
WAKU WAKU-I mean... NIKA NIKA
I like One Piece.
That is all.
Im talking about the themes of it being an underdog story and Luffy being the embodiment of free will and him being a force against predetermined paths, all of that jizz. All of this is effectively rendered meaningless now, that we know Luffy has had the CHOSEN Fruit of a literal legendary figure named Joy Boy. It's a contradiction
Press F for Gomu Gomu No Mi
Oh you mean stuff that wasn't there. The literal first chapter of One Piece says it's the beginning of Luffy's journey to his destiny
97 not 99, you fool
This would be like Kishi pretending Naruto didn’t have the Nine Tails for like 700 chapters, but like kind of hinting here and there that he kight be the host and also Asuras reincarnation to boot, but there are also totally other candidates guize! and then, he dies fighting Madara and then whabam we get Nine Tails fully mastered mode on top of some OP Asura mode
The fruit didnt need to be special. Luffy already had the D and the Straw Hat as still unexplained mysteries that could make him the ultra special lad of the universe. It didnt need to be the fruit. Gomu Gomu got mogged hard and thats what I hate most about all of this
OP *pffft* “chads”, already getting defensive as all hell I see
Nothing happens: The chapter
NIKAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wait a second, Nika and Joy Boy were two different characters though.
Nika = One for All
Joyboy = All Might
Luffy = Deku
>Just Joyboy my shit up
I felt a great disturbance on the internet, as if millions of voices suddenly sighed out in dissatisfaction and were suddenly loudened. I fear something terrible has happened.
>this retard again
They have never been stated or proven to be two different characters, they both were legends of hundreds years ago you just assumed they were different despite their obvious similarities
Damn, not like this OPbros…
O MY NIKKA NIKKA NO MI
please tell me these spoilers are fake
>Sanjis eyebrows
>He is the only strawhat who feels Luffy right now
oh my awakened sun god fruit that make me in a calarts cartoon
So, are JoyBoy and Nika the same person? Or is Nika a god that got turned into a fruit that JoyBoy ate and is now Luffy's?
luffy is literally called >>>monkey
see
You Tranjitards are fucking pathetic
This is like finding out Rock Lee was the Sage of the Six Paths all along
Zoro is getting replaced, you guys should have seen it coming when Sanji got a bigger bounty than him
I would be mad if this is the actual design because its just super saiyan luffy
I thought Gear 4 was cool
A devil fruit awakening is one thing. But how the fuck does a devil fruit awaken by becoming a completely different fruit that even has a different name?
Looks like a psycho
That picture is missing the drum SFX connection.
Oda hasn't figured out that yet.
nika was some ancient god, joyboy is who last awakened the mythical nika fruit(fruit hasn't awakened in 800 years)
>OP has reached same MHA's lows
it's over
Why would Zoro get replaced by someone far weaker than him?
How did Luffy manage to survive Ener's powers again?
Cope and seethe nonnikacuck
>In literature, foreshadowing is commonly done when a possibility is mentioned, but almost immediately dismissed or disproved. To some readers, they will dismiss the suggested possibility just as the unsuspecting characters do. More experienced readers will immediately call the author's bluff and know what to expect.
ODAAAAAAAAAAAAA
We don't know yet. I'd say either Joyboy had the Nika DF, or if DFs originated in the Void Century, Nika is the original Joyboy's name and the DF is literally a Joyboy DF.
The Sun and The Moon.
he was a god all along he was headbutting another god
>his eyebrows turn into the same spiral pattern as on his devil fruit.
Nice headcanon, remember than Bounty=Powerlevel
Daily reminder that this powerup is because Oda was jelous of Mahou Shoujo being better liked than One Piece by his girls, so he gave Luffy a Mahou powerup to compete
>Bounty=Powerlevel
Nice headcanon
“In the past, this wonderful place [Nika] was inhabited by magical creatures who were very intelligent: fairies and elves of the sea. It was told that they had colorful wings like fish fins and that they could light up in the darkness. This big tree, just in front of you, was their home. Its name is Nika. Nika creatures had a special power: they were able to speak with fishes, plants and even with stars…but, in addition to this special power, they had also another gift: they could listen. They listened carefully to the wishes and dreams of human beings. If humans desired goodness, beauty and altruism, their dreams could come true. But only positive thoughts could be realized by Nika creatures. Recently, someone has seen these special creatures flying near Nika tree…Thanks to the fact that everyone takes care of this special island, Nika fairies and elves now are back! They came back to realize the wishes of all the people who are here to enjoy this magical and sacred place.”
LUFFY HELPS OUT PEOPLE IN NEED AND GRANTS THEIR WISH.
HE BRINGS THE SMILE AND OPTIMISM BACK OF DEFEATED PEOPLE. HE FREES THEM FROM THEIR GRIEVES.
ODA COMBINED SO MANY THINGS AND IT GETS THROUGH PEOPLE HEAD BECAUSE THEY ARE UNHAPPY ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTER BEING CHOSEN.
SEEK HELP
Luffy was made out of rubber. Nika still has rubber powers retard.
"Gomu Gomu" was a fake name the government made up. But still it seems like a weird fruit, I think Oda may later say it's a "Special Zoan" same way the mochi fruit is a special paramecia because it doesn't really follow the rules of zoan fruits.
I will be so pissed if Oda pulls another timelimit bullshit drawback
marco is eternal flame and luffy is elastic rubber.
Man Gear 5 looks boring from the leaks
It's just Luffy wearing a Tennyo no Hagoromo and fire hair
