Powers & Abilities Luffy's Awakened Gear 5 form is Uranus

#1
Okay, look I know there are many people out there who has already theorized Luffy to be Uranus, but this is just my own two cents regarding this theory.

Ever since the release of Chapter 1037, which devil fruit the Gorosei was talking about regarding its awakening and hidden true name has became a hot debate. In my opinion, the devil fruit the Gorosei are talking about is none other than Luffy's DF - the Gomu Gomu no Mi itself!

Before I go into the details, I want to thank Yuderon's recent video to give me inspiration for this theory, and I will be borrowing some of his ideas to elaborate on mine.

The TL;DR of his theory is that Luffy's Awakened Devil Fruit is actually the Nika Nika no mi, aka the Oil Oil Fruit, and it would allow Luffy to combust himself and unleash fiery attacks while being the Sun God.

Now here comes my theory.

To begin with, let's look through a list of Luffy's moves:













What do you notice is a common denominator of most of his attacks? That's right, they are names of different artillery/gun shots.
This was also kid Luffy's ambition since chapter one (aside from becoming Pirate King of course).



Since he was young, Luffy wanted his punches to be as powerful as pistol.




Well it looks like current Luffy did go beyond what he had in mind since he was a kid, right? Or did he?

If we pay close attention to most of Luffy's gun shot attacks, as powerful and destructive as they are, they still seem to be lacking something behind it to truly make them into real fire-arm attacks.

That is - fire and explosion, the core mechanics behind true fire power.

Now this is where the NIka Nika no Mi awakening theory comes in - Luffy upon awakening his DF, would now be able to set fire onto Oil and transform ALL of his attacks into fiery and explosive bombardments! He would finally become Uranus - a weapon with the most explosive and powerful missiles, cannons, guns. so destructive it would be capable of bombing entire islands into dirt !

Besides, Uranus is the name of a God of the Sky, which means this weapon, unlike Poseidon and Pluton, is very likely a flying weapon capable of raining down powerful nukes from the sky. Guess what, Luffy is perfectly capable of flying in air while bombarding the land below him with powerful nuke attacks post awakening.

Something like this, but on a much more powerful, fiery and explosive scale:




Something like this but much more destructive :



A supporting evidence is how Luffy's Straw Hat looks like a sunset and also a UFO:




Uranus would be a strawhat UFO flying in the sky firing the destructive gun power from the sky by none other than Monkey D. Luffy!

Luffy would become a living weapon capable of firing the most destructive gun and cannon attacks in the world, just like a true pirate!

PS: As we know that Poseidon was a weapon that needed to be born, what if Uranus is a weapon that needed to be awakened and unlocked by hardwork, will power, an awakened conqueror's spirit, the next Joy Boy aka Luffy?

If Luffy has been an ancient weapon all along, I am DYING to hear why the fuck Shanks never told him? What? Did Roger and his crew find out the secrets of the world, the fate of the ancient kingdom, and just happen to never stumble upon the true nature of Uranus?

From the way the fruit has been portrayed Shanks seemingly knew that it was OP as fuck. It stands to reason he would also know what it can actually do. Why then leave Luffy in the dark? It cant be because "Shanks evil" or some shit because he sacrificed his goddamn arm to save Luffy. If he truly wanted his OP fruit back, all he would have to do is let Luffy drown / get eaten by the lord of the coast.

It makes no sense for the Gum Gum fruit to be the super special name changed fruit that the Gorosei are talking about because it opens up to many unnecessary questions with relation to Luffy, Shanks, him somehow never revealing its true power to Luffy or hell LUFFY never figuring it out. Or, hell, even the Gorosei taking THIS long to focus on the kid with rubber powers. They ought to know Luffy holds an ancient weapon. Why not send an Admiral to kill Luffy in his east blue days? They are clearly ready and willing to do whatever it takes to get their hands on an ancient weapon, so leaving one in the hands of an upstart pirate like Luffy sounds incredibly out of character.

Also even if its true nature was hidden, the fruit itself does not give a shit. Luffy stretches like rubber right after eating it.

It being the Oil fruit or any other type of fruit than what it appears to be all of a sudden would be forced as fuck.

I thought Luffy's Gomu Gomu no UFO was a filler attack lol? But if Luffy's G5 is Uranus then I don't mind......
The UFO attack is a foreshadowing :crazwhat:

Most of what you said are likely still missing puzzle pieces to the whole board.

Currently it is probably oil in the form of solid fats, which also exhibits all of Luffy's traits so far like elasticity, becoming fat, bad conductor to electricity etc. Once it awakens then the oil nature is revealed and now Luffy can suddenly turn all of his Pistol attacks into real fiery explosive gun fire.

very interesting :hope:
although i prefer theory that maybe gomu gomu no mi can be a giant giant fruit so it has relation with joy boy straw hat and ancient weapon
btw it,s been too long since oda discuss about ancient weapon ... last time it,s about sirahoshi in fishman island , hope next arc oda will focused about the weapons .
