Luffy's Awakening - The Ability to Stretch Time and Space

For Luffy’s Awakening I like the idea of him stretching, instead of his body, the space (and time?) around him. So imagine he winds up a Gomu Gomu Pistol, but he also stretches the space between him and his opponent to be miles long so he’s just a speck in the distance, and also the space his arm occupies so that his fist is oceans away.

And then all at once he collapses it all down, so crack and he’s back in your face and crack his fist is slamming into you. So pretty much it would be a way for him to punch someone really, really hard. Like imagine to finish off Kaido, Luffy stretches his fist all the way back to East Blue with this technique before launching him to the freaking moon to chill with Enel.

It could also get interesting if he stretches time similarly to get like a sonic boom effect on his punches. Might be hard to represent visually but I think it could be pretty cool. I personally don’t love the “everything is a bouncy house” concept of his awakening, although it does fit the goofy theme. What do you think?

The Prophecy of the Two Kings

It is revealed what Roger and Kozuki Oden heard from the Sea Kings during their trip to Fish-Man Island. It is shown to be a discussion between two sea kings about the birth of the new Poseidon and her meeting with another sovereign who is to be born in a distant sea.

The sea kings knew that the new Poseidon would be born in 10 years and reckoned she would need 15 years to grow. So one king is Shirahoshi but who is the other one? I bet it’s Luffy. Luffy was born in a distant sea (East Blue). This means that Luffy and Shirahoshi were destined to meet. Luffy is the successor of Joy Boy and Shirahoshi is the successor of the original Poseidon. Perhaps Luffy and Shirahoshi are the reincarnations of the souls of original Joy Boy and Poseidon.

So Joy Boy and Poseidon are the names of the first 2 Kings during the Void Century to fight the 20 Kingdoms? Then the names became titles, for Poseidon it’s anyone who possesses the power to command Sea Kings while for Joy Boy it’s anyone who inherits his will. “The whales are delighted in anticipation of the day the two sovereigns shall meet again”. Well, it’s already shown in the previous arc. The whales seems so happy when Luffy finally reached the New World and this happen when Luffy and Shirahoshi already met and became friends.
