The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Although his appearance just now was a bit strange, Luffy could clearly sense that he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Instead, a continuous stream of power began to surge from the deepest part of his body!

Even in that state just now, Luffy was confident that he could send Crocodile flying with just two or three punches!

Is this a physical enhancement resulting from taking the medicine?

Luffy tilted his head, unable to understand no matter how hard he tried.

There aren't that many doubts

Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, Link directly revealed the answer:

"It was just that the potion that caused Luffy's Devil Fruit ability to awaken and revive slightly."

At this point, a glint of light flashed in Link's eyes.

He hadn't expected that either.

Stimulated by the two fantastical items, the Thousand-Year Dragon Bone and the Golden Horn, Luffy miraculously revived his Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Sun King Mode.

under.

Although that state only lasted for a very short time, it was a real beginning of recovery and awakening.

In this way, under the effect of this potion~

The time it takes for his Devil Fruit ability to fully awaken and be used shouldn't be as long as it was when he was repeatedly beaten by Kaido in Wano Country...

Perhaps, in the face of one powerful enemy after another, this potion will become a key to unlocking Luffy's physical abilities, completely breaking the seal on his awakened powers!

It's worth noting that if Luffy awakens his Mythical Zoan ability, it seems he can freely use Gear Third and Gear Fourth without using Haki.

In other words, Luffy should have been free at that time (literally).

He can do whatever he wants with his body, such as switching gears at will.

"Devil Fruit power awakening? What's that?"

On this ship, Chopper and Robin, both Devil Fruit users, both took notice.

There are only two of them who are Devil Fruit users.

"The so-called power awakening, as the name suggests, is a power obtained by developing the power of a Devil Fruit to an extremely high level."

"That is the power called 'Awakening'. Only a few Devil Fruit users can reach the state of Awakening, and it often brings great power after awakening."

"Once a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit ability awakens, it can have a certain influence on things [other than the user], specifically by turning the things around them into part of their ability."

"For example, the ability to use lines can turn the surroundings into thin lines, and the ability to use glutinous rice can turn everything around, including the ground and buildings, into glutinous rice for manipulation in battle, making one's abilities more powerful and having a wider range and greater effect."

Typical examples of this include Doflamingo and Katakuri, as well as Bullet from the movie with his "Fuse-Fuse Fruit" and Gild Tesoro with his "Gold-Gold Fruit".

"If a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user awakens, they will have a stronger body, as well as 'tenacious vitality' and 'regenerative ability' that allow them to get back up no matter how many times they are knocked down. They will also have greater strength and attack power than before."

If Zoan-type Devil Fruit users were to awaken their abilities, most Mythical Zoan users like Marco and Sengoku would already be able to do so.

And then there are those five typical jailer beasts in Impel Down.

Link explained the meaning of Devil Fruit power awakening to everyone in this way.

Both of them are Paramecia and Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, and they listened very attentively. (5.9)

After Link finished speaking, the others realized that there was a state called "Awakening" among Devil Fruits.

They couldn't help but marvel at it repeatedly.

"So, according to Link, Luffy just awakened his Gum-Gum Fruit ability under the influence of this potion, right?" Sanji lit a cigarette and made a reasonable guess.

"But according to Link's explanation of Devil Fruit awakening, if the Paramecia-type [Gum-Gum Fruit] were to awaken, shouldn't it..."

Should we turn everything around us into rubber?

Usopp looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression and asked, "But why were those strange rings of fire coming out of him just now? The deck definitely turned into rubber earlier."

Merry, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally found the right angle to start the conversation and quickly told everyone what she had just seen.

"In other words, it did have an impact on the surrounding things, but the mystery of the strange fire rings still remains unsolved..." Zoro said, and then he saw Link smile slightly.

"That's because what Luffy ate wasn't the Gum-Gum Fruit at all."

"Not the Gum-Gum Fruit???"

The first to be stunned were not the other crew members, but Luffy, the Devil Fruit user himself.

Chapter 185: Luffy and the Straw Hat crew are shocked! Luffy is also a Human-Human Fruit user?!

"What are you talking about, Link? I accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Fruit that Shanks brought back when I was little."

"That's the Gum-Gum Fruit?"

Luffy felt quite confused.

Although they knew Link would never lie to them, the thought of being told today that the Devil Fruit ability they had used for over a decade was not actually that ability was really hard to accept.

Yes, Link was indeed hard to digest when he first heard the news.

But that's just how it is, there's nothing we can do about it.

"Legend has it that during the eight hundred years since the World Government was established, it has collected almost all of the Devil Fruits."

Link didn't answer Luffy's question immediately, but instead told everyone a legend.

"But there is one Devil Fruit that seems to have escaped the control of the World Government, and they have never been able to obtain it in the past eight hundred years."

"This Devil Fruit has never awakened in eight hundred years, and the World Government has always been wary of its existence, so it deliberately erased its original name and gave it a new one."

"More than a decade ago, the World Government finally learned of this Devil Fruit and sent its most talented and outstanding agents to carry out the mission of transporting it to the World Government."

"In their view, with that outstanding agent in charge of escorting the goods, it was already overkill. The matter was basically a done deal and there would be no problems. It was foolproof."

"However, to their utter surprise, even this escort mission, which they thought would be absolutely problem-free, still went wrong."

Link explained this world-class secret that was unknown to everyone in the world in a low voice. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

Robin, in particular, tensed up, staring intently at Link, listening with unwavering focus.

"At that time, Shanks, who was not yet one of the Four Emperors, led all his elite troops to attack the transport ship and steal the Devil Fruit."

"Then they stopped briefly to rest when they passed through the windmill village."

"But what they didn't expect was that in just the time it took to drink a drink, that Devil Fruit was eaten by a stupid little brat who was clamoring to become a pirate."

"Thus, this Devil Fruit, which has been dormant for eight hundred years, has once again found a user."

After saying that, Link slowly raised his head and looked at Luffy, whose eyes were wide open, mouth agape, and nose running:

"You should understand what I've said by now, Luffy?"

Of course he understood!

Link has already explained it so clearly; if he still doesn't understand, then he's truly a fool and an idiot!

But precisely because of this, the more he understood, the more unbelievable it seemed to him.

"I ate it, could it be that..."

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard. "Really not the Gum-Gum Fruit?" "Link, did you hear this from somewhere else? Or is it just a legend, not a fact?!" "That's the truth!!"

Before Luffy could finish speaking, Link immediately and decisively affirmed.

This is already a well-known fact, and it's even been drawn and published. How could it be false? Seeing Link's certainty, Luffy, who knew Link was not joking, immediately fell silent.

"What I ate wasn't the Gum-Gum Fruit after all..."

He murmured softly there.

The others watched him in silence, wanting to say something to comfort him.

After all, he had used his abilities and power for more than a decade, and suddenly he was told that this was not real.

Anyone would find it hard to accept such a fact.

The rest of the Straw Hat crew also looked at Luffy with slightly heavy hearts.

Especially when Usopp and Nami were about to say something to comfort him...

Three seconds later.

"So what's the name of my Devil Fruit, Link?"

Luffy picked his nose with his little finger, calmly looked at Link, and then spoke in a casual, nonchalant manner, as if asking a normal question.

The others on the ship: "...?!!"

"You're just going to accept this reality?!"

Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji, and Zoro all shouted and complained in unison.

They didn't seem to care at all about this astonishing fact, and accepted it so smoothly without taking it to heart?!

This concerns your own abilities, you know?! At least show some semblance of importance to it!

Everyone stared at Luffy's nonchalant and casual attitude, utterly speechless and helpless.

Sure enough, there's absolutely no need to worry or comfort this guy who's so single-minded and completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation!

;inch-

Isn't it precisely this attitude that makes them their captain?

"Alright, it's just a Devil Fruit ability, right? Anyway, it has rubber-like abilities, so I'll just use it like the Gum-Gum Fruit, just like before, isn't that fine?" Luffy was very open-minded and smiled optimistically, putting his hands behind his head and leaning back.

Then, in a very casual tone, he said to Link:

"So what exactly is the power of my Devil Fruit?"

"Actually, what you ate was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit."

Link explained with a smile.

"Zoan type??!!!"

Everyone else, including Luffy, was also taken aback.

Is Luffy a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?

Usopp scrutinized Luffy intently. "He does look like a monkey. Could he be a user of the Monkey-Monkey Fruit?"

"Idiot, if it's a monkey, how could it have rubber-like properties?!"

Nami, who was standing next to her, chimed in with her own comment.

"That's right, how could someone who is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user also have the rubber properties of a Paramecia-type user?"

Chopper also looked at Luffy with curiosity, "And I've never seen Luffy use the Tri-Transformation before."

As is well known, Zoan-type Devil Fruit users can transform into three forms: human, beast, beastman, or human-beast.

Some users who have developed Zoan-type abilities to a high level can transform their bodies into animal-like features without using large areas of their bodies.

For example, Marco can transform only his hands into phoenix wings, while retaining his human characteristics in his rest of his body.

"I don't know either~"

Compared to Chopper, Luffy, who was directly involved, was even more confused.

"I've never heard of any three-stage transformation, and I don't get that feeling either...but?"

He went from being confused to eagerly anticipating it, thinking, "If I really am a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, wouldn't I be able to transform back and forth like Chopper?!"

Is now the time to get excited?!

and?

You're really that interested in things like transformations?!

The others rolled their eyes, speechless at Luffy.

"The first mate said this is a Devil Fruit that the World Government has always been wary of. It hasn't awakened in eight hundred years, and they even changed its name." Robin gently touched her cheek, her eyes gleaming. "Then this Devil Fruit must have something extraordinary about it."

"That's right!"

Link nodded in agreement, adding, "And Luffy, the name of your Devil Fruit's power is the same as Chopper's."

"Wait? The same as mine?!"

Chopper, who was watching the show and enjoying the gossip, was startled when Link looked at him.
