In the world of “One Piece,” different Devil Fruit types grant unique abilities. The Paramecia type affects the user’s body and the environment around them, while the Logia type allows the user to become a “god” that controls natural elements like fire, light, and smoke. The Zoan type, on the other hand, grants the user the ability to transform into various animals, including mythical creatures, such as the legendary Zoan types.
Notably, users of the mythical Zoan types possess a significantly enhanced state, receiving incredible powers known as “divine powers” that are even more formidable. However, according to Eiichiro Oda, the actual transformation of mythical Zoan users does not differ substantially from the other two types.
In a recent chapter of “Road to Laugh Tale,” Oda mentioned that the mythical Zoan’s transformation could be fatal for the user, as the essence of the animal or mythical creature can override the user’s consciousness. This has previously occurred in a number of cases at the Impel Down prison, where individuals transformed into animals and could not revert to their original state.
In Kaido’s case, he has consumed a mythical Zoan fruit but has not fully embraced its capabilities during his battles with Luffy. There are concerns regarding the potential dangers of this fruit and the risk involved. This raises questions about Luffy’s future, especially since Kaido’s fruit is also a mythical Zoan.
As Luffy prepares to unleash his full strength against Kaido, there’s a pivotal moment with the question, “Who are you?” This hints that there could be more unfolding than we expect. Could it be that the Sun God Nika has joined the battle at some crucial moment? Luffy might even risk losing his identity if he taps into this immense power, potentially becoming Joy Boy/Nika. While it is certainly a daunting task to face such limitations, it could also be the way to maintain a new balance. Ultimately, the strength of Luffy is truly remarkable.
