From teories that I seen I liked a lot one that Luffy has space manipulation devil fruit.

Meaning till now he could change only his own shape. Appearing to be rubber as his body is simply altering its shape within some limitations.

This way Luffys awakening could be not only making everything around him appear bouncy but for example if he could strech floor or walls at will he could avoid attack/ place someone in line of his attack just by using awakening. His imagination would be only limit to ways of using such power. I guess tree sap or mythical zoan model sun god is more likely but I liked space bending the most. Cannot wait for new chapter..

I expect that Luffy will have awakening form that will be alike to Enels Amaru form that seemed to be Awakening of Enels logia DF power. Perhaps if there was Buddha DF then there are more Devil Fruits based on "Gods". Like Buddha, Thunder God and now also Sun God/ Joy Boy with Sun part being play on word smile in Japanese. So some sort of festival deity based power. So Luffy awakening his devil fruit would bring out its real form out. As awakening beside changing Luffys look it would make it possible for him to make everything around him bouncy like rubber making everything around move to his rythm- accord. So it would be like Devil Fruit that makes everyone and everything wiggle as DF user sees it fit- for example to rythm of dance or rythm of bouncing around. Like fully controlled rubber castle- would be really broken power if mixed with Luffys fighting style and haki.

Zunisha thinking that Joy Boy is back because of Luffy awakening same power that Joy Boy did. Sun God/ Festival God devil fruit. If there is a Buddha Devil fruit and Thunder God awakening that Enel shown then who knows, maybe all those 3 powers are Mythical Zoans, not fruits we think they are. Oda is bending formula of Devil Fruit abilities so with all reveals and stuff like Katakuris logia-like paramecia, he might bend his own rules once again.

@Monquito:

Concasse against long-necks is considered a dick move, but I'm kinda interested in the visuals of that.

Sanji kicking him so hard that his "Snake" body is shot out of his main body would be silly though

@Seafarer33:

I have to agree, but then it makes the whole scene work even more clumsy. This time Sanji, who is several meters away, can hear floorboards creaking from dinoqueen's weight, but not earlier in 1031 when he apparently walked right by while Queen was kicking the courtesan ?
Honestly I liked the first part of this, where Sanji had self-doubts because of what happened to the girl and the process he was going through. But this here resolution really isn't the best it could have been. I might have overlooked it altogether if the rest of the chapter had a good flow or if the powerup had any interest to begin with, alas we're left with an all-around average. So I hope this isn't the last we see of Queen and the fight goes on off-panel before it hits a better conclusion.

Sanji said himself when remembering geisha getting hurt that he was running lost in his thoughts, he was shaken, now as he said in this chapter he collected himself.

I kind of liked how Sanji took Queen smashing him through everything around without covering his head with his arms to decrease damage. He probably prefered to get more damage to his head than to damage his hands. He is still wearing black gloves since Raid Started, seems like he is even more careful with his hands than ever before.

@Cyclone_Baroness:

wouldn't that be a 3rd scar?

I meant scars on his face. Ryuma had two, one like Zoro.

Sanji told Queen to fly at end of chapter - it would be funny if at start of next chapter Queen activates rocket boots like ones that Judge used in Sanji vs Judge.

If he has all of brothers tech he also should have Judges flying. Him going brachio bomber like he did against Big Mom but this time thanks to his flying would be great.

But again I dont want to get my hopes up as Oda might very well end fight on first page of next chapter..

If this was end of the fight then I would have easier time accepting it if Queen flies off the island because of this kick. Like it being so strong that Queen flies through all floors/ walls and falls down crashing into Wano or even better into the sea/ into one of Marines warship next to Wano or smthn.. Dang I want more Sanji vs Queen action.

@All:

I'm on the same boat. At least the Boef Burst panel is great, but the tiny panels have next to no impact. You could even cut those panels and Sanji's Boef Burst panel would still work well.

I somehow hope that Queen will manage to get back up and try one last attack using his own virus/ toxic weapon to take out Sanji.

As someone mentioned in spoiler thread Queen using Ice Demon on himself would be cool. That or some different virus we didnt seen yet.

For finisher of fight I expected Concasse that would send Queen few floors below and knock him out.. still hoping for that as Zoro vs King and Luffy vs Kaido somehow does not feel to be like chapter or two away from conclusion so who knows really. Would be weird to already finish this fight.

@Nilitch:

Do you think that one-day Zoro will eventually retire and become a swordsmith ?

I rather expect him to get second scar in his duel against Mihawk and him meeting time traveler DF user that goes backwards in time, opposite of Toki DF should also exist

Him becoming known as God of Sword Ryuma in past being his fate. Twisty but I would enjoy it.

His motivation for time travel being that after besting Mihavk he would have chance to meet someone called as God of Sword, wanting travel in time to get to Wano to meet him and finding out there is no such man living in OP world, Zoro getting to fight a dragon and understanding that he is Ryuma.

:ninja:

@Nilitch:

Kaido and Bigmom definitely need to die at some point.
And to be honest, Kaido's immortality is getting ridiculous. Now that we know the bit about CoC. Couldn't the person who captured him and tried to execute him just imbue some CoC in their blade before slicing his neck or whot ?

As they tried few methods of killing him and were unable to do so, Marines probably experimented On him a lot. Possibly at Punk Hazard and Vegapunk was able to remake Devil Fruit very alike to Kaidos. Then Kaido was rescued by someone or escaped himself. Thats what I expect at least.
