GOMU GOMU NO MI: THE BOUNCY HOUSE OF DOOM

There is a reason I started with this one and it’s because it is the easiest to justify. Luffy’s awakening will be simple. It will be the ability to make the environment elastic to match his body. I will even go a step further and say initially he will be only able to turn a small area around where he is touching rubber at any one time. Eventually developing that to  Doflamingo’s level of turning an entire town.​

HANA HANA NO MI: MOTHER NATURE

First of all, and most importantly, this picture of Robin is sexy as FUCK! Now, onto the awakening.

Robin’s fruit is really fun to speculate with. There are so many ways you can build it and still fall within current knowledge on awakening, yet still create a completely viable fighting style. My favourite,  and the one I’m using here is that Robin will eventually use her awakening to use plants.

Like Luffy, and by Doflamingo’s explanation, Robin will learn to duplicate or bloom objects other than herself. Because this has so many viable possibilities one could focus on, it was fun to speculate but I settled on plants as her awakened usage of choice because it fits her theme and the fruit name.

Oda stretched her fruit’s name to include “Blooming like a flower” into its theme. This was intentional because I believe he always intended for Robin to use plants as her eventual weapon
First let’s look at Robin’s Personal Jolly Roger than Oda created.

Note that the one on the right is as it is Post timeskip. And we know this is significant  because of how Oda addressed this in the SBS.
​

He makes it clear that each Jolly Roger had to be done a particular way. So I think there is meaning behind this choice. And what he adds to the Jolly roger is a flower backdrop and some seeds. I think Robin will awaken her fruit and eventually build her fighting style around using plants. A further foreshadowing of this maybe from Dressrosa with her Hanagasa move.

But more so than regular plants, which have very little offensive prowess, I believe Robin will learn and assimilate Usopp’s current skill of Pop Greens and use it for herself. Being able to use an army of carnivirous plants and unlike Usopp, use her power to duplicate each individual plant.

This ties into the Jolly Roger depicting seeds and a flower as Robin’s new backdrop. Whereas Usopp has to use a seed for each plant, her awakening will give her a freedom and potential with Pop Greens that Usopp could never reach with them. She could bloom them on any surface, even at a distance from where she blooms the first plant.

And maybe even take handful of seeds and duplicate the seeds in another hand further away and grow them there.  A potentially limitless supply of Pop Greens at her fingertips.

I do not believe that Usopp’s current fighting style will be what he uses until the end of the series because he has very little room for growth in it. Imagine him trying to use Pop Greens against people like Van Augur or Yassop. Plants with no haki or superspeed. They would laugh it off.

So in this theory Robin becomes the wielder of the Pop Greens and she could eventually work poisonous and gigantic growth plants into her powers. This is the most fun to me, so I personally love it.
Although duplicating weapons would be cool too. ​

If Sengoku can get a Giant form then so can freaking Chopper dammit. And based on the wiki’s description of an awakened zoan, the transformations are usually bigger than the normal zoan transformations to correspond with the increased power. Therefore, I see no reasonwhy not.Chopper can get a giant version of a human for his awakening. Hell, Giants are essentially human in the series, just bigger. Awakened Chopper will be a bigger, giant sized version of Monster Point that’s larger and more powerful and gets all the perks of an awakening. And by EoS he will be San Juan Wolf size.

Turning into a human being, is BORING!!!! Come on, admit it. So for me, Awakened Monster Point is the pinnacle transformation for Chopper. Would be amazing. And finally,

YOMI YOMI NO MI: THE SHINIGAMI

Kind of a misnomer, but the name is so damn cool, so who cares?!! No I don’t think his awakening will be Death while his power is Life or some kind of two sided Yin and Yang thing that he is unaware of. But when I was making this I had to ask myself what is Brooke’s power? It’s so undefined what its true capabilities are. I mean who expected what he has shown with it so far Post-timeskip?
So to start, let me build on what his abilities are.
​

So expanding upon that, I believe Brooke’s fruit imbues his soul with a powerful energy, that he is only now learning to manipulate. This energy has the ability to sustain life itself, as well as a freezing effect, when applied to other things through attacks. Making the assumption that this energy is like an “life” energy, then we can theorize that all living things in One Piece have some of this energy, althought likekly not as strong as Brooke’s, within them.

Thus, Brooke has been given the gift to control it and use its power. But currently, he is limited to himself only. Expanding this again, based on Doflamingo’s explanation, Brooke will extend his control of this energy to everything around him during awakening. Granting the ability to bestow upon and take this energy from other living things and the environment. As a restriction, he probably won’t be able to take it from living beings unless willingly.

The two fold power of this will influence both skills of fighting Brooke currently uses. His swordsmanship and his music. By bestowing this energy upon other things that are dead, he may be able to cause a temporary revival and be able to control these revived beings outright. But also he may be able to connect to the soul of someone that he is fighting and have an even greater control of their will through music.

And for his physical abilities, he could take this energy from the area around him, basically increasing the speed, power and level of freezing effect from his swordsmanship. Also granting him reconstructive abilities far beyond where he currently is and what he can maintain with his own soul energy.

Basically Brooke’s awakening could unlock a tremendous amount of skills he doesn’t currently have.

WHO WILL AWAKEN FIRST?/WILL THEY ALL AWAKEN?

A very tricky question. Technically speaking, they don’t ALL have to awaken, but to me, will they or won’t they, depends how much further you think their fruit can develop and how much other skills in the One Piece world can benefit them overall, that the need for awakening may not even be necessary.

For Luffy, it’s almost a given he will awaken at some point. He is the protagonist and he has to be the strongest he possibly can be in the crew. So it makes sense for his awakening to at least be considered almost guaranteed.

For Robin, she is SO RELIANT on her DF, and after coming back from time with Revolutionaries with only knowledge of haki and not having awakened it herself, you begin to wonder if she is even destined to have it. More than even Luffy, I think Robin is the one out of the four that REALLY needs to awaken and is probably the most likely one at the moment.

For Chopper, even though I believe Monster Point is him using an imperfect form of his awakening, and he has mastered his fruit through drugs to a high level, there could still be loads of room in all his points as they currently are. Furthermore, with Electro being a possible future powerup for him, he may not even need to be in the discussion ofr awakening just yet. His is the most flexible. It probably relies most of all on when the strawhats may be faced with a situation of fighting against a bunch of giant enemies at once with no chance to team up on the giants. Chopper could awaken around then.

And finally Brooke I believe is a LONG way from this. His mastery over his fruit is pretty poor, only now learning in the last 2 years after having it for 50+, that he could leave his body and that it could freeze things. I feel he has not mastered his fruit enough to expect an awakening any time soon, but it could be useful if it plays out how I described it.

So as of right now, I think Robin is most likekly to awaken first. She has the level of mastery over her fruit currently, that suggest she is approaching its pinnacle before awakening as she has so much feats of ingenuity with its usage. As well as power with her Giant limbs that she unlocked. There doesn’t seem much mroe to explore unless Oda literally turns it into a “Numbers” game,
and just gives her more and more limbs for her limit.

Luffy has more to explore with haki and Gear 4 before awakening becomes the next thing to learn. He likely won’t awaken until after mastering Gear 4 which won’t be for awhile. Chopper, like I said, can explore more drugs and Electro, if he gets it, for awhile as a powerup. Awakening is not entirely necessary at this juncture. Brooke, however, I think will be last, just because of how much more he needs to develop his DF, Music and Swordsmanship skills before we get to that point. And yes, I think they will all awaken, but it will be spread out significantly over time.

Well, thank you for reading.
