Is Luffy half lunarian?
There seem to be a lot of hints pointing us in that direction.
But first, if you aren't caught up to the one piece manga, what are you doing here?
Go catch up right now!
Go, go go!
There's spoilers.
But if you are, welcome!
Luffy's fire powers have always been a bit of an enigma in the one piece community ever
since red hawk was introduced during Luffy's fight with Hody Jones.

Can Rubber really do this?
But looking at this scene now, knowing that Luffy actually a mythical Zoan fruit user
with the human human fruit model Nika, this moment hits very different.
Because we now know that Luffy's powers aren't only rubber, but actually freely shaping the
world around him as he pleases as we see with his cartoon powers.
Woah wait a second, where does the fire come in here though?
I mean Luffy's hair turns into flames, like Hyogoro, but other than that, the reveal surrounding
LUffy's real devil fruit power has not really cleared up the fire problem all too much I
think.
The only possible explanation I could come up with, is that Luffy is able to imitate
other devil fruit abilities, which would of course be awesome, but I think there might
be a completely different twist here after all.
WHat's up, I'm Manu, and the user with the wonderful name of **el_psy_joyboy** of my
subreddit Wild Anime Theories kindly pointed out to me, Eiichiro Oda the author of One
PIece, might be toying with our expectations here once again, as he loves to do so often.
Because of course, Luffy's strange ability to generate actual flame fits wonderfully
with the image of Nika being the sun god and the sun being a reappearing symbol throughout
the story.
Now sadly, not everyone can have as hot a hairstyle as luffy.
I know it’s terrible to think about, but two out of three guys will experience hair
loss by the time they’re 35.

The sun is fire, Luffy is the sun god, so having fire ability makes sense.
Only that as far as his powers have been explained so far, it doesn't.
Oda has focused so much on the gomu gomu sun god nike devil fruit story line in the last
few dozen chapters, setting up this reveal, that it was very easy to overlook the importance
of another big chunk of lore drop: The introduction of King's lunarian race.
Here's a quick recap: Lunarians are a race of powerful beings with unique abilities,
that used to live on top of the red line.
Despite their incredible strength, the Lunarians were somehow driven into almost-extinction,
with king being the last known remnant.
Based on kings appearance, lunarians seem to be almost angel like beings, they are humans
with dark black wings, way larger than those of the other known sky people.
Especially through the lens of Oda-sensei's love for quirky characters, King is probably
the most objectively handsome and perfect looking Male figure in the story, with long
white hair and dark skin, making it a point of presenting Lunarians as a elf-like or angel-like
race, that was almost completely eradicated for their powers.
Now, Interestingly enough the name lunarian hints at a connection to the moon, which is
not only interesting because of Enel's adventures on the moon and all the lore that seems to
be hidden up there, but also because the sun and the moon are the two main occurring symbols
in the story.
On top of that, King has a face tattoo, not unlike that of Luffy's father dragon, that
seems to depict a flower known as moonwort.
That parallel to dragon by the way would not only make luffy half sun and half moon, but
also begs the question to wether it was Luffy's mother or maybe even dragon himself who is
lunarian.
Who knows, maybe god valley was actually the last refuge of the lunarian race until the
god valley incident happened.
Because, not only were the Lunarians known as gods themselves, connecting them to Luffy's
sun god title, but they are also naturally able to produce and manipulate flames with
their body, similar to how the minks are able to generate electricity or the fish man to
manipulate water.
Which of course brings me back to Luffy and his strange ability to create fire, long before
awakening his Nika devil fruit.
All this lore drop happened at the same time as the hints that Luffy's devil fruit might
be special.
Why give us this backstory now, before Luffy's defeat and reawakening?
Why specifically show us King's background and not that of Queen or Jack?
We find out that The World Government seemingly hunts Lunarians around the world to this day,
rewarding anyone with 100,000,000 Berries for any tip-off about a Lunarian's whereabouts,
at the same time that we learn that they were trying to get their hands on the Nika devil
fruit for 800 years.
So to me, that suggests, that this is either related to Luffy himself, or even more specifically
to the Nika fruit.
And who knowns, maybe the infamous D initial was actually used for descendants of the lunarian
race, kept secret to not reveal its continued existence to the world government.
Just a thought.
Luffy being part lunarian would not only explain his fire powers, but also how he was able
to generate enough heat to awaken his devil fruit powers, as we saw him melting and steaming
at the end of chapter 1043.
What I'm trying to say here, is that being Lunarian might be a pre-requisite for awakening
the Nika fruit's powers.
Which would not only explain why the government would try to kill off every single member
of their race, but also why they were not concerned with luffy having the fruit, as
they didn't know he had lunarian blood.
Step one, be part lunarian.
Part two have the sun god fruit.
Part three be worthy to awaken its powers.
Part four, subscribe to the channel.
Another really interesting detail that supports this idea is Luffy's eyebrows looking a lot
like Sanji's in chapter 1044.
Sanji who's fire powers have now also been strongly hinted at being based on Lunarian
dna.
Who we now see using blue flames, like hyogoro's in the latest cover.
And who I want to add, was the very first person to notice Luffy's reawakening before
anyone else, despite probably not having better observation haki than for example Marco.
On top of that, we have Luffy's haki taking on the form of flames as well.
There were also a ton of other interesting instances throughout the story, that now that
I look at them again, might be a lot more important.
For example Luffy not freezing on drum island, and arc by the way that literally connected
the drums of liberation, the will of D and the Hito Hito no mi.
Luffy was also literally frozen solid by Aokiji, but was completely fine.
And luffy generating more heat and steam the more air he inhales also would work really
well with innate fire powers.
In fact, this would also fit in very nicely with the idea that devil fruits have a will
of their own.
It's one of the theories I am most proud of, because it seems to be confirmed more and
more every chapter.
So, if you want to take this to the next level, don'T ignore this video here.
