One Piece chapter 1071 introduces a new twist for the Straw Hats, who have been imprisoned in the Vegapunk’s fortified Labophase since the events of chapter 1070. While it may seem like an easy matter for the Straw Hats and the readers to make their escape, Kizaru has dropped a clue about something that would make it next to impossible under the current circumstances. And it has nothing to do with the battleships for which he has ordered the Marines to be sent. Here, a fan idea has surfaced that offers some insight into the Marine Admiral’s surprise and how it may threaten Luffy’s extraordinarily potent Devil Fruit talents.
In Gear 5, Luffy displayed astonishing skills, including the ability to materialise objects at a whim. His run-in with Lucci may have made him seem invincible at first, but his fatal defect soon became clear. Luffy, who had been playing with Lucci for the most part, looked and felt like an old man after the battle. In addition, Lucci posed next to little danger to him during their exchange. And readers will remember the toll that Gear 5 use took on Luffy’s physique during the Wano arc. So it seems that the feeling of safety brought on by Luffy’s metamorphosis will not last forever.
Oda has been teasing the identity of the most powerful Devil Fruit user, and it appears that this may be verified in One Piece chapter 1071.
What Vegapunk thought about the Devil Fruits.
Vegapunk has been shedding light on the Devil Fruits for a while now in One Piece. He thinks the Devil Fruits are symbolic of the universal desire to test one’s limits and create something better than the status quo. The sea views those who consume Devil Fruits as enemies since they may modify reality and, by extension, nature. He has also revealed that the Sun God Nika, also known as the Warrior of Liberation, is a visual inspiration for Luffy’s Awakened Devil Fruit form. The Gods of One Piece are not extradimensional beings, but rather humans endowed with extraordinary abilities.
When it comes to Devil Fruits of the Zoan variety, particularly Mythical Zoans, Vegapunk has finally come clean and admitted to replicating them. To give his Seraphims Devil Fruit abilities similar to those of the Paramecia kind, he has injected them with green blood, which carries the blood lineage component. But the Logia-type has proven to be a stumbling obstacle for him. Moreover, he has no idea if the synthetic Devil Fruits he has created can actually Awaken.
Who in One Piece might possibly possess the most potent Devil Fruit?
Vegapunk has declared that finding a global, infinite energy source, analogous to the fuel used in the Ancient Robot, will be his life’s work, with the hope of putting an end to resource warfare. However, he has not yet accomplished this. His inability to duplicate the Logia-style Devil Fruits, which provide users with a limitless supply of a natural element, is another one of his many shortcomings. According to this fan theory, the key to infinite stamina is a Logia Type Devil Fruit.
Yet the Devil Fruit being alluded to is not just any Logia. According to fan speculation, all of Egghead Island is on fire because of the vast volumes of lava needed to create the indestructible Poneglyphs. Everything points to Akainu’s Magu Magu no Mi Devil Fruit, which will be revealed as the best of its kind, a Logia. The fan theory goes as far as to say that Akainu will turn out to be one of the four Gods in One Piece. While Akainu’s Awakened powers won’t be shown for some time, readers of One Piece chapter 1071 and beyond will likely get a taste of Kizaru’s Logia-type Pika Pika no Mi Devil Fruit abilities thanks to his Awakening.
