childish ? drop sales ? one piece still one of the most seller manga currently . Oda did not create this ability now. he created mainline story 25 years ago . When luffy ate devil fruit for the first time , oda have already created this awakening. what do u expect from awakening ????? serious luffy will bending all environment as a rubber or resin at awakening form ? But when he made these by laughing , that has been bullshit ??? what is difference right now ??
He never thought of Luffy's awakening to be This
That's for sure
The dude literally drags arcs or create new characters when he feels like it (or when editors tells him so) so that he remains unpredictable
The only thing Oda planned in advanced is the ending which also is already modified slightly as far as we can guess.
Stop trying to defending this lame decision
Wano is so trash yet you guys still find excuses
"Luffy smiled aa a child so Oda gave an hint" t
"Look at how he creates gears so Oda is a genius"
Oda, you genius:
Oda literally copies Kishi, vice versa
Both of them are friends
Enjoy TOON PIECE
