Powers & Abilities About Logia Awakening

[Malakhith]

I have a personal theory about Logia Awakening. This is most based on some evidence in the manga but it seems to make sense:

Crocodile seems to be one of the confirmed awakened Logia based on his comments in

Spoiler: alabasta

. Notice that this was years before we saw any mention of awakening. What was more important was what he revealed later:

Spoiler: the true power of his devil fruit

. This power makes the environment

Spoiler: turns into sand

, in a similar way to what we saw decades later when the SH finally saw the

Spoiler: after effects of two logias battling

. So we can assume that awakening gives powers that can change the environment when used but looking at Crocodile as a example of someone that uses awakening we actually saw that the effects in battle are actually a little more subtle: he drained

Spoiler: the water from luffy's limb with his attack

.

If this is correct then another Logia immediately comes to mind: Admiral Kuzan. The first time we saw him he used his hand to

Spoiler: freeze a entire ocean

. Since the power was used on seawater it was not permanent. In Marineford the power basically created a land of ice similar to Punk hazard in a way. Again, the power was not permanent because it was used on seawater, but if used on land it would create a ice land. We also saw that even casual attacks from him are able to turn part of the surroundings in ice.

What I mean by that is when Kuzan uses Ice Age he actually is using a awakened attack to turn everything to ice, beyond the limits of what a normal logia could but, because of that, the effects would be subtle unless stated by someone directly to be awakening and, in a way, similar to getting a small paramecia power. It's more a supportive power that is added to logias and make the effects stronger.

So, as a example, Caribou is a swamp men. Normally he is capable of creating his element without being capable of affecting things in a permanent way but if Caribou awakens he would be able to add moisture to objects and peoples to directly liquefy things into a swamp. But, if not mentioned to be a awakened attack, most people wouldn't notice or would think that it's a natural effect of the fruit.

With this we can actually extrapolate some awakening powers for Logias. Example: BB. His power is the ability to

Spoiler: attract everything to him

. I admit that I assume that he is awakened. According to BB the reason why he can deny devil fruits powers is because he suck the powers to his body

Spoiler: while he is touching the enemy

. But the things he captures can be

Spoiler: released

. But can he access the things inside his body? Well,of he's awakened,

Spoiler: maybe in absolute darkness

, he can access his darkness body and pass the powers he pulls to another fruit. This would allow him to intermediately access the powers and if, he has a special body, get

Spoiler: the ability to have more than one power

.

TL:DR: Maybe Logias awakenings are just super special passive abilities.

DF Awakening doesn't grant any New Abilities
It simply "Expands" on what it already provided

Law's Awakening didn't give him any New Abilities, He simply became able to make other things Center of Room & not just Himself.
Kid became a Magnet, his Awakening didn't give him a New Power, He simply became able to make other things/People Magnets as well
Doffy & Kata also simply became able to expand where their Mochi & Strings come from

Zoan Awakening also doesn't grant any New Abilities, it simply Buffs what they had already
Lucci for ex is still a Leopard just with Higher Stats than Non-Awakened Form
(Luffy & Blackbeard have Unique DFs so no need to use them to compare)

Logia can effect Environment with their Element, They can generate Countless Amount of it, Re-Shape it ... etc
None of this is Awakening, it's just what any Logia is capable of

Logia Awakening is "Super Intangibility"
That means Intangibility that every Logia User gets goes to a Higher Level & becomes even more Difficult to deal with

Akainu used his Awakening against Marco & Vista, that's why He said "Haki Users..."
He didn't use Future Sight, otherwise He would criticize their Speed, not their Haki

Aokiji also used it against WB, that's why He said "Don't make me laugh", when They thought He got stabbed
He wasn't saying WB's Haki is Trash, it's just that He is mocking them for thinking CoA is enough to hurt him.
Kizaru also done the same when WB tried to attack him from behind

Crocodile as well, it's pretty obvious that Only Water is his Weakness, People think CoA does the same job, but it doesn't at all, do you really think a 1.9B Guy who Perfected his DF & called Oldbeard Weak doesn't have a way to deal with Haki? Ofc He does

Once Logia Users activate their Awakening, even CoA becomes Useless against them, only CoC & their Elemental Counter can Defeat them.
Just look at Caribou for example, Oda made Pekoms laugh at Logia Users because their Intangibility is basically Useless against Haki Users, and even if you say Future Sight solves that, other Non-Logia DF Users can also benefit from it, so it doesn't change the Fact that Logia Users aren't benefitting from their Intangibility in New World

But thanks to Awakening, They restore that Advantage & They become Unstoppable, that's why Akainu can face entire WB Commanders + Crocodile & it doesn't bother him at all, you think He will use Future Sight to dodge 20 Veterans? That requires a lot of work, instead He is simply immune to them

Aokiji also used it against WB, that's why He said "Don't make me laugh", when They thought He got stabbed
He wasn't saying WB's Haki is Trash, it's just that He is mocking them for thinking CoA is enough to hurt him.

One problem though.

Jozu attacked Aokiji & made him bleed in the same scene where Whitebeard's Haki didn't work on Kuzan (which he technically shapeshifted around) & i don't think Jozu is a CoC User.

Also, Rayleigh when explaining about Haki - he said CoA will be enough to touch Logias.

But yea, i agree with your point about Crocodile, just because some character can use Haki that doesn't mean they beat people like Crocodile or Enel

Because Haki only allows you to touch them, it doesn't negate the power of the Devil Fruit.

Because Kuzan morphed around Whitebeard's hit iirc.

There are multiple reasons as to why Jozu was able to Hit Aokiji (In Crocodile's Case, maybe He was just caught by Surprise)

1. Just like Paramecia Awakening requires User's Touch, maybe Logia Awakening has a Condition, which is that their Super Intangibility is Disabled during an Attack, so perhaps Aokiji used it to ignore WB's CoA & once He was Safe, He disabled it to prepare his Attack, that's when Jozu was able to hit him

2. It's possible that Aokiji simply disabled it after He already survived WB's Attack (Weak Argument but still)

3. Maybe Awakening relies on User's Haki, it's like you're allowing Devil inside you to use your Haki to expand more, so in Zoan Case you get Tougher (It's like Lucci's Awakening is basically his King of Hell Mode, and this makes Perfect Sense cuz Luffy's Gear 4 was described as an Imperfect Awakening, and that's what it means to become One with your DF Powers in Body & Mind, it's basically getting along with Devil inside you which fuse both Devil Energy & User's Haki, upgrading the User, it's like when Naruto got along with Kurama & gained New Form)

And in Paramecia Case, Devil inside is also consuming User's CoA to spread it's Energy (That's what CoA does in first place, you basically let your Haki flow through your Body & anything you touch) which is why Paramecia Awakening to be used on something else, They need to touch it

So when it comes to Logia, just like your Body can be Coated in CoA to increase it's Durability, Logia Awakening allows Devil inside you to defend itself with your Haki when in Elemental State, so CoA Users are still able to interact with "Body" of Logia as Robin said, but it's strengthened by User's CoA so it's Blocked anyway

And i truly believe in this Explanation, it's like DFs are no different than Enma, when you consume One, you're basically sharing your Haki with that Devil and anyone who isn't Awakened is like Zoro who was holding back when using Enma cuz He didn't tame it yet (Fully Embrace it), but when the User finally becomes one with their Devil in Body & Mind (Just like Zoro in King Fight), they let their Haki completely mix with that Devil Energy allowing themselves to use it's Full Potential (Devil can now use your Busoshoku Haki to increase it's Effectiveness, Zoans become Tougher, Logia's Hidden Bodies become Protected & more Immune & Paramecia can spread their Powers through what They touch, these are literally just Haki Flow which is CoA)

In Aokiji's Case, either He disabled his Awakening Post-Stab to preserve his Haki or He was already at his Limits blocking WB's Haki, He can't tank another Simultaneous Attack)

Devil Fruits are literally no different than Enma, and Awakening is literally just DF Users Version of Gear 4/King of Hell. It's just "CoA Consumption"

I would be disappointed if Logia Awakening are just "expansion" on what is given.

There should be some special abilities.

Devil Fruits are literally no different than Enma, and Awakening is literally just DF Users Version of Gear 4/King of Hell. It's just "CoA Consumption"

I liked your explanation too, it fits thematically as Conquerors Haki is shown as the trump card for non-Logia users when dealing with Logias.

Greenbull came to Wano the land of CoA for example, but not once did he comment about anyone's Haki or CoA until he faced Yamato & Shanks where he specifically mentioned CoC & not just Haki.

Same for the other Admirals too, in Marineford they regarded Luffy as a great threat to them in the future because he is a CoC User.

I went back and looked at Rayleigh's explanation, the full page and i noticed that after Rayleigh tells Luffy that "Logias can be touched by CoA" , we then cut to Luffy talking about whether he'll be able to touch Smoker and then Aokiji.

After he mentioned Aokiji (who is very, very likely Awakened) Rayleigh pauses & then continues to talk about CoC.

Put that together along with Kizaru saying "This is bad" this chapter as he takes a CoC attack... the explanation flows really well.

The Jozu interaction just sticks out for now, but I'm sure we will know by the end of this arc.

Crocodile confirmed that He Perfected his DF & Oda even chose him to be the one to explain Awakening
So He is 100% Awakened, He has no reason to Lie

If Awakening grants New Special Abilities, Crocodile would have revealed them, but what We've seen him do is Create Blades out of Sand, Re-Shape his Sand, Effect Environment, Effect Island's Weather ... etc which are things that any Logia can do as long as their User is good enough

But if you go check Arabasta Arc, only thing that Crocodile showcased to make him stand out from Smoker & Ace (Only other Logia Users revealed at the time) was his Improved Intangibility, both Smoker & Ace got surprised by Luffy at Start of Arabasta, but Crocodile himself said that He trained his DF to Perfection which allows his Body to transform into Sand whenever Attacked, even by Surprise, something that Ace & Smoker didn't achieve at all

So Admirals & Crocodile Awakening gave them "Super Intangibility"
However, Crocodile also talked about his DF Perfect Mastery by saying He can turn his Element into a Weapon
So perhaps Logia Awakening's Second Benefit is to Create Powerful Weapons

Aokiji's Gloves made his Punch comparable to Garp's, Kizaru's Sword is definitely as Powerful as a Strong Meito, Akainu is 100% based on Surtur & I believe He will forge a Magma Blade (It might look like Itachi's Susano Blade), and Ryokugyu's Blade could also be his DF Awakening which is a Powerful Weapon forged by his Logia

So Logia Awakening is just DF weapon usage basically? I mean it's fine but I expected more.

That reminds me, Akainu used to wield a sword when he was younger, his sword probably got melted due to his DF, so he could create a magma sword like you said. I do think this would be cool for Akainu though.

Or creating beasts. Akainu could probably create hell hounds out of magma.

Great Find, it really looks like Oda made Luffy differentiate between Smoker's Level of Intangibility & Aokiji's
And explains why Akainu said "Haki Users...", indicating He wasn't relying on Future Sight, He just has a Counter to CoA

Can't agree more on Admirals Reaction to CoC as well, this also explains Aokiji's Words to WB, who Failed to Hurt both Aokiji through a Direct Stab & Kizaru even by Surprise, but an Enraged WB was able to hurt Akainu cuz He probably used CoC Coating & Oda didn't draw it ofc cuz it was Pre-TS

This also explains how Oda can redeem Smoker & make him as Strong as we all thought He'd become in the Future, his Smoke Fighting-Style relies on spreading everywhere & capturing the Enemy, but as Vergo said, that makes him an easy target, however if He achieves Awakening, then He will be able to be as Dangerous as Pre-TS without the need to change his Fighting Style, overwhelming his Opponents with Smoke everywhere & They are unable to hurt him, only Top Tiers could Defeat him then

 

[comrade]

Great Find, it really looks like Oda made Luffy differentiate between Smoker's Level of Intangibility & Aokiji's

I assume Luffy's "even" Aokiji referred to Aokiji being simply much stronger than Smoker. As in, "I would be able to fight even an admiral". Even if there were levels to the intangibility of Logia users, I don't think a rookie like Luffy who is just learning about what Haki is, would know the difference. To him, both Smoker and Aokiji were equally intangible, so how would Luffy even understand that Aokiji's intangibility is on a different level?

Jozu hurting Aokiji isn't an odd exception, it's just the rule that was established - CoA being able to harm Logias if they are targeted successfully. That's why Luffy identified armament as the reason Rayleigh could touch Kizaru. It's also interesting how Akainu was visualized in Rayleigh's explanation of armament being able to target the fluid bodies of Logias.

And explains why Akainu said "Haki Users...", indicating He wasn't relying on Future Sight, He just has a Counter to CoA

Well, I think
1) Either Akainu managed to shape shift in time and reacting just in that split second to avoid damage was the annoying part
2) They might've harmed Akainu in some way anyways, just like Jozu attacking Aokiji made Aokiji break into his element regardless of being damaged

Ofcourse he doesnt know shit.

Luffy met 3 Admirals, Crocodile, Enel, Ace, Smoker pre timeskip. Yet Oda specifically chose two Logias to put there, Smoker & Aokiji.
And the sentence/panelling also separates the two.

The question is basically "What was Oda's intention behind this?" and not "Why did Luffy separate the two?".

After which Rayleigh ponders, talks about Amazon Lily's ability to flow Haki (flowing CoA) and then talks about Conquerors Haki as a power that only the scant few have. Basically the recipe for CoC coating.

2) They might've harmed Akainu in some way anyways, just like Jozu attacking Aokiji made Aokiji break into his element regardless of being damaged

The thing is, Logia when They turn into their Element, They still have a "Body" as Robin stated
It's simply Hidden & can only be Harmed by Haki

What is exactly this "Weak Point" which Robin called "Body"?
Is it their Soul? Big Mom confirmed through her Homies that Souls cannot be Harmed by Haki, so it's not Souls
Does Haki disable Logia Intangibility? Again, Robin confirmed that it doesn't
Can Elements be Hurt by Haki? Again, Big Mom Homies confirmed that Haki cannot Hurt an Element by itself

So what CoA Users are actually hitting is their Haki Source, their Haki Body, just like Rayleigh said, every Living Being have Haki Inside, it's just that most don't know how to Access or Use it, it's like you have an Extra Invisible Organ that generates Haki, and Logia Users can turn their entire Body into an Element except that Haki Source/Organ/Battery

Meaning Logia DF is allowed to change entire User's Body except their Haki which They can't access & that is their Weak Point, but an Awakened User (Becomes One with their DF in Body & Mind) is able to transform even their Haki Source into their Element which makes them Achieve "Perfect Intangibility" (But ofc Oda is gonna create Restrictions & Conditions for it to not make it too Overpowered)

And since Logia Awakening lets you turn even your Haki into your Element, then Logically you can forge something out of your Element that is Fueled/Empowered by your Haki, and that is Awakening's Second Benefit "Forging Weapons"

So Overall, Logia Awakening = Perfect Intangibility + Elemental Haki-Fueled Weapons
Meaning so far Crocodile, Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru & Ryokugyu are Only Confirmed Awakened Logia Users so far

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Well put together, but I dislike the idea that logia awakening is a power we've already seen. It doesn't fit for storytelling or Oda's particular style. He has a flare for the big, the grand, and having Kuzan's first display of big power be awakening is both lackluster and non-mysterious.

 

[comrade]

It's not Luffy we're talking about here.

After which Rayleigh ponders, talks about Amazon Lily's ability to flow Haki (flowing CoA) and then talks about Conquerors Haki as a power that only the scant few have. Basically the recipe for CoC coating.

Because Smoker and Aokiji are both Marines and villains he couldn't overcome in the past and would still have to in the future. Ace is his brother and furthermore dead. Crocodile was already defeated by having his weakness exploited, which was reiterated in Marineford when Luffy stopped Crocodile in his tracks and Enel out of all people is weak to rubber, was defeated and flew to the moon, having no more relevance.

We didn't say Luffy knows the difference, we are saying Oda used that Scene as a Foreshadowing, ofc Luffy knows nothing.

But why would Oda use someone like Luffy who doesn't know shit to make a foreshadowing? Luffy referred to armament being able to harm Smoker and even Aokiji (the even referring to Aokiji being simply more powerful and Luffy pointing out how he could even fight an admiral). Rayleigh's statement about conqueror's Haki had no apparent linking point to Luffy's statement about touching "even AokijI". After further elaborating armament, summarizing armament and observation, he simply went on with conqueror's Haki.

I think you two are reaching a bit.

Crocodile was already defeated by having his weakness exploited, which was reiterated in Marineford when Luffy stopped Crocodile in his tracks and Enel out of all people is weak to rubber, was defeated and flew to the moon, having no more relevance.

At this point, he fought Akainu & Kizaru too.
His entire crew got decimated by Kizaru, and Akainu killed his brother.
So why not Kizaru & Kuzan or Akainu & Kuzan though?

This explanation isn't fool proof either, as you said the Jozu panel is a clear opposite.
We're probably gonna get the right explanation this arc though.

 

[comrade]

His entire crew got decimated by Kizaru, and Akainu killed his brother.
So why not Kizaru & Kuzan or Akainu & Kuzan though?

Because against Smoker and Aokiji, he had real 1 on 1s, unable to overcome their intangibility. He didn't face Akainu in battle, he didn't even face Kizaru in a fight really, apart from Kizaru stopping Luffy in his tracks and kicking him away in Marineford. On the other hand:

- Why did Luffy say armament is the reason Rayleigh could touch Kizaru?
- Why was Akainu visualized when Rayleigh talked about armament being able to touch the fluid bodies of the logias?
- Why was Kizaru even stalling the basic punches from Snakeman?
- .... how could Jozu give Aokiji a bloody lip?

Quite frankly, Jozu already seals the deal.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Pretty sure all DF types are just unique

- Paramecia affect their environment
- Zoan/Ancients/Mythicals have additional transformations (Luffy is a special case where he can affect the environment like Paramecia too)


Logia's, imo either do something entirely different or simply cannot awaken, but my guess is the former.

Edit: Honestly considering the flame mechanics of Luffy's powers (for some reason he can ignite his fits), he may also get logia awakening properties eventually. "Sun God" may have something to do with that.

 

[Salah WG]

Instead of asking "How to Awaken?", you guys should ask "What is preventing them from Awakening?"
Living Beings in One Piece are made up of Physical Body + Soul Body + Haki Body

Let's take Soul from Equation cuz Nothing can Hurt it, it simply represents your Life Source
That leaves us with Physical Body + Haki

When anyone consumes a DF, They are basically letting whatever was inside that Fruit (Let's call it Devil) modify their entire Body depending on Power Gained, but that only applies on "Physical Body"

All DF Users are Initially not Awakened, cuz their Devils aren't allowed access to their "Haki Body"
Users can use their own Haki & combine it with their Powers, but it doesn't change the Fact that their Devil isn't allowed access to it

It's Copy-Paste of Enma Situation, Zoro was using Haki in Rooftop, but it wasn't King of Hell Mode or CoC Coating, why? Cuz He wasn't letting Enma consume his Haki, it's like you have a Partner & you don't share with him

Kaidou said "Awakening is when you become One with your DF in Body & Mind", that's literally what Zoro did with Enma.
So any DF User can Awaken if They simply let their DF have Full Access of their Haki (It's like when Naruto finally got along with Kurama)

What are the Results?
Zoan Devils are able to grant their Users even Greater Buffs resulting in a Stronger Form (Such as Awakened Lucci)
Paramecia Devils are able to coat other things/people in their Ability (Such as Law's Awakening used on Sword or Kid turning BM to a Magnet)
Logia Devils are able to turn User's Haki Body as well into their Element which Perfects their Intangibility & allows them to forge Weapons
