Law inherited a part of Rosis DF. He saw him dying. Luffy did the same with Ace‘ power. He saw him dying. BB did it with WB. Big Mom with Caramell. There had to be some connecting to this.. BB and Big Mom got all of it, while Luffy and Law just received a few bits. Might be interesting to know the mechanics behind this.

I think Luffy’s fruit still makes sense. He is the main character after all. Shanks wanted to get his hands on especially this fruit. Someone got punished for letting it slip into enemies hands. And it was said, that they fear the AWAKENING of this fruit. It was always a power that was not as threatening as a logia or stuff, more like a toy. And previous users might not have been able to take it to the extend of a awakening just because of this. But have a look at how far Luffy was able to get with it even without awakening. Most of us are thinking if he awakens it, he’ll be able to change the environment into rubber. He can basically switch the rubber everywhere between being just rubber to be hard as diamond.. Add his haki to this. He can create a two walls and knock every opponent between the two of them till he is done for, no matter the size or the power of the enemy. No one can escape this trap unless he has a stronger power of will - which will never happen because Luffy is just the main protagonist of the series. And to take it to the extreme - he can trap ships in between, multiple enemies, even hole islands.. nothing would be able to withstand this for a long time.

First half is paradise, second half is a nightmare… seems fine for me..

I don't even think about "getting a DF by eating someone… It's a SOUL Fruit, and we all do know, that DF may come with a certain special... So it might be just a case to this specific fruit. I wouldn't mind at all... But one thing is for sure I think: The SHP have a special connection to the Giants of Elbaf... So we will end up with Luffy being the reason BigMom and the Giants will have a first contact to make peace... It'll be like Shanks and WB - definetly rivals, but if needed, working together would be more likely than just to beat her...

Haven't read a lot of topics lately, so: did someone already think of th Boston Tea Party? It'll be th event everyone will declare to be free from BM as Luffy beats her. That was always the way Luffy made alliances: free them from the enemy, gaining their up-to-death connection to him, without making them his underlings but to let them be living freely… It'll be his second second yonkou-crew as backup after WB's... I bet we'll see them back in action when Luffy will be fighting BM. Yet, his crew is not able to handle a yonkou. That is why Luffy wants to go alone. He already had the instict to realise, if his crew was not able to handle the opponent.

Blackbeard won't be killed or die at the end of OP… He'll kneel down before Luffy, accepting him as his leader (as the King of Pirates)... BB always had his own way of justice, as all important characters left. See the moment he told Luffy Sky island does exist, or as he told Burges not to lay a hand on Ace, cause he'd be no match. And him being a D, he'll bow his head, and Luffy will be the one forgiving.

I don't think any of the supernovas will die... They were built up to be the main actors on stage of the new generation, slowly taking over... WB is already gone, Shanks surely will, not to speak of BM and Kaidou... Several Shichibukai have already fallen and been replaced... WB said it himself, a new era is about to start. And none of the big players of this generation will be killed. Not gonna happen.

Brook's DF. He managed to be Sanji to look like dead, business kept his soul in store to make him alive again. That is.

One piece is obviously having all pirates of the world gathered under your command… Means, you are free to do whatever you wanna do, and also it really makes you a king...

What I think is an important question: Will we get to see another G4-techniques besides Bounce Man? Luffy will have to use G4, I think nobody doubts this… So it would be away to show "I'm not even close to my strongest attack", but also a little to soon when it comes to the progress of the story...

It would also make sense just to take them away from enemies just in order to weaken them… If your Crew is the only one to have DFs, you're basically unbeatable...
