First of all this is not my theory or 1 theory i collected some ideas from reading watching few videos here and there but what sparked this idea is a Japanese Youtuber i will link his channel by the end of the post.
This collections of theory or theories should connect three things :-
Luffy's fruit - Nika - Imu
1- Luffy's Fruit :-
The Gorosei were talking about a Legendary Fruit and that they changed its name and was lost to History. Many would jump to Zunesha for appearing on the same Chapter others would say Toki because a Panel on the same Chapter she appeared as a Statue. And Finally Kaido for having the "Fish Fish" fruit and his introduction as the one who is said to be the Strongest on Land "Sea" and on Air. But what if its Luffy's Fruit?
The idea is Luffy's Fruit isn't just any "Rubber" and that is it. Many of us have been thinking what his Awakening might be. Lets Start
In SBS Volume 8 someone has asked Oda of what kind of Rubber Luffy is? Oda answered "Natural Rubber"
Natural Rubber is a sap that obtained from Rubber Trees And it is made from Natural Resin. When Natural resin solidifies into Fossils it becomes Amber.
As you can see from the image above "Proteins , Fatty acids , Resins" are found in Natural Rubber. Coincidentally Enough Meat is Luffy's Favorite Food.
Anyways... Natural Rubber = Natural Resin and the Fossil of Natural Resin is Amber and when Amber is heated it becomes Oil.
Resin :- can be turned to Oil using Oil Steam Distillation and other means "check google"
Amber :- Heated above 200 °C (392 °F), amber decomposes, yielding an oil of amber.
The Latin word for Amber is "Electrum" And The Etymology is the ancient Greek "Electro (elektor)" the meaning of electro "elektor" is the Radiant Sun.
So Amber is the radiant sun in anient Greece. "This is important keep it mind".
Misc : - electro nowadays it used as "Static Electricity" - that could connect the Mink Tribe and Zunesha to Nika and Gomu Fruit.
----------------------
2- Nika The Sun God :-
"The IC and XC are the first and last letters in the Greek words for Jesus and Christ, respectively. NIKA is connected to the word for victory, which we know from Greek mythology and even consumerism as "Nike”. "
"IC XC NIKA means "Jesus Christ Conquers." King of Kings and so on".
"Jesus Christ the King of Kings" isn't that so Luffy in One Piece "The Conqueror who Conquered all" The Voice of All Things belongs to such Figures. There are many connection we can make here but i will name one for now from a theory Mr.Morj made about Luffy and his 12 disciples and the Zodiac Signs.
Who is Nike "The Goddess of Victory"
In 532 a Rebellion happened in Rome it was called the "Nika Riot" :-
The Crowds were chanting the Word NIKA NIKA
Who is NIKA in one piece :-
The person who frees the slaves around the world and the person that brings people Joys and Victories everywhere The Sun God. And that is who Luffy who is we all know this.
The Goddess of Victory Nike has appeared in One Piece Volume 1 Chapter 1.
Some images from google
Misc :- The wordplay for 56 in Japan is Gomu and the wordplay for 29 in Japan is NIKA. And in piece we usually see things plays the same but differently in both Pre and Post Time Skip "Like flipping the situations between Alabasta - Dressrosa" so going for his word play for 56 which is Gomu flipping the Number 56 upside down kinda gives us 29. This isn't something new in one piece you can find many things flipping chapter numbers or changing their order.
Something That Japanese Youtuber thought of:- Kinda of a Stretch but it works lol
------------------
Luffy's Awakening ~
Before talking about number 3 which is Imu-sama lets connect what we have above and lets talk about Luffy's awakening.
The Sun God JoyBoy aka Luffy :-
The person who frees the slaves around the world and the person that brings people Joys and Victories everywhere The Sun God. And that is who Luffy who is we all know this. And knowing Oda for all we know if Luffy's fruit was the one the Gorosei were talking about and is the Fruit that they changed its same to Gomu Gomu.
In chapter one shanks told Luffy that gomu gomu is the fruit of the devil its one of the secret treasures of the seas and what does Amber look like?
It looks like Gold. So all this time we thought luffy's fruit is nothing but rubber but in reality it is kinda gold a treasure of some kind. Isn't that romantic aka chapter 1 Romance Dawn? lol its the Youtuber idea
Amber:-
Taking the fact that Amber in Ancient Greek is The Radiant Sun and the Sun God in One Piece is Nika. Shouldn't the Original Name of the Fruit be something like:-
Nika Nika no mi 29 - Gomu Gomu no mi 56.
Now lets see how the Awakening part of his Fruit might be:-
-His Natural Rubber the Natural Resin turns into Oil.
-Or if going along with Luffy's techniuqes "Gears" going Gear Reverse instead of Gear 5 Luffy reverts his Natural Resin/Rubber into Amber then heated up into Amber Oil instead of Resin Oil.
So Why Oil and why its scaring the Gorosei to the point of calling it "World Class" without giving any details to CP0.
after the time skip Luffy has been creating fire with his attacks and his body catches flames by it. Even running "in Punk Hazard" Luffy creates Fire. Both Resin and Oil are flammable and for Luffy to create Red Hawk he goes to Gear 2 in order to create Fire i think in his Gear 2 Luffy undergoes "steaming" and his Rubberness produces steam due to the Heat.
Remember when Kaido shot Boro breath at Luffy and Luffy came out of it just fine. Fire could empower Luffy since the Natural Rubber can use heat and fire to create Oil.
Why is the Gorosei scared of this revelation ?
3- Imu :-
Its related to Imu-sama. Most of us have speculated of her/his fruit to be Water related or Water itself. Oil and Water do not mix so If Luffy awakens into Oil water shouldn't affect Luffy. And Luffy will be the only person on the Entire World capable of fighting Imu.
As for Kaido vs Luffy.
Kaido is known to be strongest in Land "Sea" and Air and he has the Fish Fish fruit Azure Dragon. If he is the Strongest on Sea shouldn't he be able to swim ? is something i have been wondering since that introduction. And if Luffy awakens into Oil and is able to move in Water he should be able to fight against him in Water.
Even the openings for the Anime lately we See Luffy running underwater... i don't know anymore. Anyways this is all can write for now.
Done.
Some connection between Luffy , Nika and his Devil Fruit:-
Luffy is from Brazil :-
Luffy's birthday :-
Japanese Youtuber again "The word Nika in japanese is two letters when you combine it in 1 letter it becomes Number 5 in Chinese so Nika Nika is 5 5 May 5"
He also said somehow it means Tiger King.
------------
a Wild Idea:-
in chapter 2 we see a scene before the chapter starts. Luffy drowning in a whirlpool and somehow while drowning in "water" he managed to get inside a barrel.
Also the cover page has Luffy standing in a rivalry manner "like Roger and Whitebeard" with a bird.
Roger and Whitebeard
Luffy the bird and the scene where he drowns
That bird is called Emo which can be a foreshadowing for his stand against Luffy as in Emo=Imu or Umi as in Sea/Water.
The
Japanese Youtuber and
Wizard of Oz that Sparked the Idea in my mind and made me research his thoughts and some others on Youtube and elsewhere. The theory
is mostly based on what The Japanese Youtuber Yuderon talked about so all thanks goes to him 1st.
I made this post in response to this
