That mean how in the f*** that Shanks got Gomu Gomu no Mi/Nika Nika no Mi in first place
Lucky Roo stole it from Who's Who
 
The Resin fruit theory never made much sense to me.
I honestly originally didn't like any theory that works on "the Gomu Gomu no Mi isn't what it is" because it feels way too Naruto for me even though the whole point of One Piece is freedom. But I liked the Resin Fruit theory the most out of all them because if you wanted to get technical, rubber comes from latex, which is the resin of the rubber tree. I'm still a little unconvinced at this point, but I can only put my trust in Oda
 
I'm not gonna lie, the longer I look at the new form the more I love it. Typical Oda not going for "Badass Glowy shonen protag" and making it goofy.
But if his fruit's a ZOAN, this is technically the first time he transformed in it, isn't it? G4 shouldn't count because of it being just his rubber nature+armament
How much more forms does it have-

How is it in any way, shape or form "too Naruto"?

???? Luffy still retains his consciousness and free will. The fruit doesn't control him even when he's awakened, unlike other awakened Zoans. If anything that ADDS to Luffy's freedom because of his extraordinary will power.
The only "too Naruto" thing about it was people worrying Luffy is Nika's reincarnation or something, but that's obviously not the case here anymore. I was on the same boat as you last week, but honestly this makes me relieved.
 
reading that last bullet point, is it translated correctly? Luffy grabs the ground and transforms it into rubber to return a Bolo Breath to Kaidou.
 
I just realized- if Luffy's a Zoan, he's the only Zoan that has the Awakening equal to a PARAMECIA in terms of matter manip-
Jesus christ. Kaido might've been a regular fish and became dragon, just like Luffy was "mere rubber" then became Nika. This opens so much doors for our rubber boy

Holy f*** you're right, shit going wild after this
