Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1044 Spoilers Discussion

It’s starting to look like Naruto might unironically wind up being the best overall of the Big 3.

I at least there's an inner dialogue of Luffy realizing his powers and understanding what his fruit actually is

Like he just got up and immediately knew how to turn people into tom and jerry?

Even better. He got a PU that he didn't need to do shit for, like, at least he sorta had to understand how Adv CoC works to use it, but he didn't question shit.

Zoro fanboys always insecure.

 

[Twin Milf]

or break

Oda loves Luffy's personality too much to suddendly change it

 

[Senfret]

Are still people claiming that ZKK will happen?

 

[MarineHQ]

That’s like saying 0 > -3 without any fucking doubt.

Still above Luffy though. All that matters.

I still think this contradiction was made on purpose, Luffy will very soon have to face off with the reality he was the chosen one after all
How Luffy reacts to the prophecy will make his character IMO

I want Shanks to give Luffy his reality check but think about how destructive 1044 will be in the process if Luffy remains this goofy happy go lucky idiot.

 

[Screws Loose242]

Luffy can turn the ground into rubber etc against akainu that awakening won't even work since the while area would be magma, plus I can't wait to see luffy VS BB luffy df is gonna be useless during that fight most of the time

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

I rather enjoy the Doctor Strange comics.

I enjoy them but they’re also pretty much self admitted nonsense. I don’t think introducing a character like that in a story like OP which at the very least gives the impression of having consistent power/story logic is a good move.

Chosen by whom?

Zoro boys is much desperate and insecure.

 

[MarineHQ]

If Katakuri would've just disposed off puffy

you have a false impression then

 

[Chrono]

Adv CoC is gonna become the new FS

 

[kurohime]

The tears in this thread, from people who call this an asspull and call it stupid and plot-this and plot-that while boosting ridiculous theories like ZKK, Zoro being a Ryuma reincarnation, or to go way back, talking about how Sanji was going to solo Katakuri and could change the future, are excellent.

Zoro fans in ultimate shambles

Depends if we include boruto in the Naruto cannon or not...Because that shit is soo bad it destroys Naruto.

If in the next chapters Oda emphasizes that it's impossible to awaken or even use that fruit except with supreme effort-dedication-creativity to even access its initial powers, which is why no one was able to use it let alone awaken it for 800 years, would it be better at least? I think that'll tend to be the case, since Oda blur the lines so that the guys with best effort and power get the best fruits and swords as well.

Look at Kaidou, if he doesnt have dragon fruit then it'll be at least a bit questionable whether he's the true WSC. People can also say he is carried by his DF, boosting you with a thousand elemental abilities-durability-endurance. But without his competence in using it in combat and harmonizing dragon powers with his original combat technique like Drunken Bagua, he wont be able to do zigzagging maneuver since he stole from Luffy with Thieving Drunk Mode and use FS to incorporate it.

Oda does this to the strongest of characters. They have the best techniques, best effort, best creativity, which is why they are worthy to wield the best DFs and Swords and use their max potential.

From the looks of it, Luffy comes up with new attacks or modes on a whim with learning thru pain or something like that. He learned Gear 2 after a beatdown, he learned Gear 4 after losing Ace and etc. It looks a lot of times like Luffy awakens his fruit more and more based off how much he wants something new.

I'm not sure man. For how long Luffy had his fruit before going onto his journey I would say he was somewhat creative but pretty lame with it because before Gears and attacks like Red Hawk and etc he was just stretching which isn't too impressive.

Has it been officially confirmed that his Fruit bends reality though? I know some random dude posted it on twitter, but haven't seen an official confirmation.

 

[Raughtale]

I really hope everyone here can immediately understand why making your main character a reality warper poses problems for your story lol

I really hope everyone here can immediately understand that making your main character bend his body in any way and make others see stars isn't the same as being Dr Strange.

It seems he's gonna bump it up to the extreme though
