It’s a mythical fruit that has the properties of rubber. What’s hard to understand? Are you saying Marco’s fruit only has one property, which is either flying, healing or flames? It’s the rarest type for a reason. I won’t deny it wasn’t an asspull but it doesn’t change much in the narrative since we’re already aware that our protagonist is a gary sue with the power of shounen manga. What I don’t get is that some retards act like it’s the end of the world and One Piece is ruined for good then comes the shounenfag who’s manga no longer ongoing and tries to falseflag and compare this asspull to his favorite manga which it was made fun of for years and thought this is his chance to pay OP back. No, I’m no schizo.

YO YO YO HE TOOK A BITE OF NIKA NIKA NO MI THE MYTHICAL RUBBER FRUT
Asspull.
Based. Everyone seething was praising Resin theory
I hardly ever come to this board for obvious reasons. People are butthurt? I think it's a brilliant move on Oda's part, perfect endgame power up for Luffy and different from almost every other predictable edgy Shounen boost. Also, his fruit being awakened isn't some left field concept, so him getting new abilities is hardly an ass pull. Hell, I'd say it's less of one than some of the shit he pulled with Gear 4.
Actually wasn't an asspulll.
Oda has Luffy dance around the bonfire at Sky Island arc while the "Nika" sound was being made, using the same Japanese letters.
>What’s hard to understand?
Since when does "sun go d." is made out of rubber...
You can't even speak fucking English, much less wrap your head around Oda's storytelling.
Did oda get brain damage from the vaccine or was he always retarded and people just assumed he was a genius for 20 years by accident?
I think the power up itself is great and most people do I think. What bothers me and a lot of other people is that what made luffy interesting is that his fruit was nothing special but he made it special, and now it turns out he just ate the god fruit it reads like a shitpost
I’m sure Nika was planned out but it was vague however Oda could’ve written him as joyboy instead of a mythological entity that joyboy have eaten his fruit.
You are absolutely delusional.
>b-but Luffy was melting upwards like the resin on the colour spread the monkey was pointing at, and the strawhat ate the magical nikajushisunwukong sap sap devil fruit and the legendary god joy boy jovi roger is chosen to be reincarnated and the raid has faaaaailed
>I’m sure Nika was planned out
>first mention is almost 1000 chapters into the manga
His fruit was definitely a lot more special than kin’emon’s fruit
Luffy has been foreshadowed as an incredibly special cog in the machinery of One Piece for a very long time. He's the man who will destroy Fishman Island, rebel against the gods with the Will of D and usher in a new age of freedom as the Pirate King. His whole family tree is lined with legendary people. He hasn't been just some goofball with stretchy arms since East Blue. Oda making him the modern day parallel of Joy Boy isn't farfetched.
That’s I said it was left vague so Oda can asspulls it as he wants. But we still don’t know what the fuck gonna be his fruit in addition to rubber and this is what I’m afraid of and I have a hunch it’s what recovered luffy from that Kaido’s attack because not one should survive that attack.
is it a plothole that luffy didnt know this already? im pretty sure in ennies lobby i thought lucci said somthing along the lines of "you will know which fruit you have soon" to kaku and kalifla. i might just be a speed reader though.
It wasn't left vague, it wasn't there.
People saying Luffy's laughing's silhouette is foreshadowing are either in bad faith or don't know what foreshadowing is.
Oda just thought about this during Wano.
Yea I agree, ever since ennies lobby luffy stopped being some random and I was ok with that because I felt like the only way it had helped him up until then was in loguetown, escaping from garp in water 7, in sabaody and in impel down. It is a lot of help but I saw it as the connections he had rather than fate itself, but him being like a reincarnation of joyboy with the same fruit and all is kind of sad to me. This is different than all the roja parallels imo.
It came out of nowhere, this is an asspull.
It's also gonna be the one piece.
>laugh tale
>nigga nigga smile fruit
Yeah, seems like oda's final twist is gonna be the reveal of
>YOU ATE THE ONE PIECE ALL ALONG, IN THE FIRST CHAPTER
And retards will yell GODAAAAAAA to the heavens until their stupid fucking lungs collapse
Yes, because a twist in a story doesn't matter if you guess it or not. It's how good it is when it happens.
Fanboys can damage control all they like, the point is that it doesn't pass the pub test. People instinctively know that this is just a dogshit development.
it has to be funny enough to make roger laugh, kizaru. you arent funny.
After Blackbeard got his special snowflake nullify and absorb all DFs I knew Luffy would have a similar special snowflake one.
It was Spandam and yes there's plenty of plot holes this opens up that just open up other plot holes when you try to fix them. I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish with this but he failed.
