DISCLAIMER: Don’t think of this post as a theory. It’s purely based on a head-canon and speculation and as such shouldn’t be considered as anything more. It's simply here as a (hopefully) fun read.

I don’t think this will turn out to be case but there is a rather large amount of hints pointing towards the fact that Luffy’s Devil Fruit is actually not the Gomu Gomu no Mi fruit but rather something else. There have always been theories surrounding Luffy’s Devil Fruit not actually being the Rubber Fruit, I’ve never paid much attention to it but in the light of multiple recent reveals I changed my tune a bit.

The Game Changer

So, in Chapter 1037 we get the Gorosei hyping up the existence of a Devil Fruit that hasn’t “Awakened” for centuries and seemingly it did now. Clearly, this Devil Fruit is supposed to be something special and something of utmost importance. Besides the obvious pick for the fruit being Zunisha, which I don’t think it’s the case considering we don’t know about any Devil Fruit that it ate, I decided to have some fun with this notion.

So, in my mind there could only be a handful of people in possession of this fruit, the two main suspects being Blackbeard (Yami Yami no Mi) and Luffy (Gomu Gomu no Mi). I would expect nothing less from this fruit other than it being either Main Protagonist’s or Main Villain’s devil fruit judging by how much it’s importance has been played up.

Another big thing revealed by these five is that they hid the real name (identity) of the fruit by calling it something else. This is a rather interesting notion because this has been debated in the fandom but always dismissed as hearsay or nonsense. Well now this seems like a possibility.

Note*: The Devil Fruit that Gorosei are talking about doesn’t necessarily have to be Gomu Gomu no Mi, but the notion that there exist a Devil Fruit that had its real name hidden opens up the possibility for other Devil Fruits to have the same done to them.*

Why Gomu Gomu no

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The doctor says it terminal.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

And boy are my arms legs.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
