HEY DUDES and LADIES~!!! ARE YOU FEELING SSSUU_UUUUUU_…
Here's an idea I thought of at work yesterday after reading the latest chapter: what if "Nightmare Luffy" – while being a very temporary boost in power -- would have some sort of long-lasting effects?
Like, what if, by even knowing how to use a sword for a few minutes, Luffy actually sort of learns how to use it once the spirit leaves? We have yet to see the neat skills/abilities that the shadows have given him, but it seems possible that there would be some "residue" or "memories" from those shadows given to Luffy after the shadows leave!
If it does happen I'm guessing it will be subtle, at least at first, but I'm wondering if Oda could use this to increase Luffy's power and perhaps even intellgence before he gets to the New World. (!!!)
HHHHHWHAT SAY YOU!?
