I am so happy this morning! Goosbumps all over^^ I admit, the expositional revelation of the fruit's nature was somewhat off-putting, but that is for the Gorosei alone. And I feel slightly blue that the old theory of Blackbeard wanting the most powerful zoan (Kaido's fruit), is probably in the gutters now. I had a feeling that the resin theory flying around last two weeks was a red herring by Oda, and I am grad that that was the case.
Now to Luffy himself. It certainly does not seem like some other entity has possession over him, as many people were fearing. You cannot blame Oda for using the inherited will concept, that is the entire tenet of the story. And besides, in this case, Joyboy had this ridiculous fruit some 800 years ago, and he came to be known by the name Nika (also to Zunisha), and Luffy just happened to eat the same fruit. The Gorosei are terrified because of the precedent that Joyboy set at that time and probably because Luffy's character matches that of Joyboy's.
One Piece has a knack of picking me up even in my worst weeks and I am sure for many others, it is the same. My part in the One Piece fandom is about the only sense of belonging I have ever had. I am glad I discovered this story all those years ago. It is pure poetry.

I had a lot of fun reading this chapter. Luffy's awakening to me is just a bigger and more exaggerated version of everything Luffy has always been.
I really like the cartoon-ish style, every panel of Luffy made me laugh or smile more than usual.
Though as a kid I really liked the movie The Mask and definitely agree with others that Luffy's awakening reminded me of The Mask, as well as Popeye. Perhaps that's why I innately enjoyed this chapter more.
Seriously although it probably fits many cartoons/cartoony-styles in general, Luffy's awakening really reminds me of how the mask acts, even while fighting. Except Luffy is smiling and laughing even more.
Also man, I could practically hear and feel Hiyori's sob filled voice, gnashing her teeth in hatred and resentment while speaking to orochi, trying to maintain her calm so she could remind orochi of why this is his fate and all that he has done, finally ending this blood feud that you can only imagine she has thought about for every day of her life for the last 20 or so years. Glad he's not getting an easy way out either, hopefully we get to see the charred corpse next chapter as it would be a real let down if he wasn't finished off once and for all along with kanjuro.

Also, a lot of people are missing that it's been changed to Luffy having the properties of rubber, not actually being a rubber man directly.
The distinction seems to be important because his awakening isn't just turning things into rubber, it's given things properties even beyond rubber
That still doesn't address the problem because it means the WG was trying to hunt a fruit without even knowing what they were doing. That's still ridiculous incompetence if the Gorosei didn't even know something as simple as the name it was changed to. Why would Imu order them to do so without giving them a chance to succeed?
Again, they don't need to know every last detail or agree to do the job. A hunt without even knowing what you are hunting is silly.
I agree that a fruit alone doesn't make a person...but it sure plays a big part in strength. Having someone elevate the mundane gum fruit is better than someone struggling with a limited god fruit until they get access to the full abilities...at least to me.
Hope you have a good night! I should probably get some sleep too!

I am telling you guys, Oda does not have things planned out and he is writing out his ass every chapter. The One Piece, Void Century and World Government are all false hype to keep you guys engaged. Oda already decided to retcon Katakuri's devil fruit from a logia to a "special" paramecia after the fandom called him out on it, and now he is retconning Luffy and giving him reincarnation abilities which was never developed before. Oda is milking these "mysteries". Retcons and plot holes are only going to get worse and worse.
