Awakening

The Devil Within

As Luffy is hit by Kaido again this time he is launched straight off from Onigashima, but is knocked out unconscious due to his last Blow against "The Strongest Creature". A blow that was reinforced with Conquerors Haki a hit that collided in unison but was overpowered as they both shouted "Kaidooooo!!!" Shouted Luffy, "Mugiwara!!!" Yelled Kaido. As they collided a shockwave was enough to send a huge surge of energy that rocked luffy so hard that his own rubber attribute was nullified and caused him to Blackout. Luffy was now deep inside his mind into the depths of his subconscious. He sees Memories of his crew " Nami,Zoro,Sanji, Ussop,Chopper,Robin,Franky,Brook Jimbei!!!" As he yells calling out to them but to no avail Luffy had seen that his voice had not reached them and that he was all alone. Luffy then Had seen Hancock and how she helped him and Garp as he had trained him and loved him Grandpa! Hancock! Still no response and then  Momonoskue and Yamato which hurt him bad because they needed him currently right now his voice was tired of yelling. He then saw a bright light that shown and revealed shanks sabo and ace and they said his name together "Luffy" they said Luffy cried there names out as he sank more and more into the darkness. Luffy said deep within "Everyone I'm sorry I wish I was stronger and better but Kaido is to strong" Luffy then closed his eyes and seemed to have accepted defeat when he felt a presence near him watching him.as he looked around the scape and saw an silhouette of a huge being with glowing red eyes in the Dark blue ambience of the deep dark abyss of the sea he was sinking in " Nani" Luffy said as he noticed it piercing his soul with its gaze. " Oi brat is this it...the end...what happened to becoming pirate king huh..." Luffy opened his eyes as he was now up close to a giant purple monster the size of a giant and with 2 horns a pointed chin and tattered wings and arrow like tail it looked like a dragon and devil combined. It's claws were around luffy as he looked very menacing at Luffy awaiting his answer. "My dream...is to become King of the pirates" Luffy said very non assuring it pissed the Monster off.  "WHAT!!!" The monster said and luffy getting startled and said it with more enthusiasm "I'm going to become King of the Pirates" Luffy shouted and with that the monster grinned which scared Luffy a bit more . "W..w...who are you" Luffy said with great anticipation in his tone as the entity came closer to luffy and Stated " I am that which gives you power ,the Devil within the Gomu Gomu no mi". Luffy was shocked as he only drowned deeper and was now face to face with his Devil Fruits Devil Luffy was powerless and needed to get back to everyone else but was greatly discouraged and weakened from his predicament defeat against kaido and now with the Devil. Surely he was here to finish him as Luffy came to accept "I most likely died" he said to himself and was thinking "Shit...Damn it's to late" he said to himself bracing himself to die but the Devil then said "You have fought and fought through so much adversity that I want to see you keep going...brat ehehehehehehehehehhh" laughed the devil. Luffy then was astonished at what he heard next "after all you have to awaken and burn bright like the sun ehhh he said with his devilish smile. And with that luffy gained some new found resolve and confusion. The devil then told him "It looks like your being saved from out of here by a submarine hmmmmmm".Luffy thought of Law helping him and Kid fighting still, so Luffy then floated up as the devil then said "take this boost of power we are one after all" grinning Luffy was then engulfed with black energy tendrils that flowed around and into him. Luffy was gaining knowledge,understanding and more power from his Devil Fruit and it all hit him like a flash. Luffy opened his eyes looking deep into the Devils and said "Arigato" and the devil said "you should be able to vulcanize your rubber now as that is the first part of your awakening you seem to be able to manipulate fire to some degree so you must train it more though "he said as Luffy looked a bit dumbfounded with his expression and tilted his head. The devil explained to him that he will be able to stretch 2x his original current amount and all of his abilities can use the fire and vulcanization and hit harder and last longer he was better now  as he told luffy "you're special after all I hadn't seen a Lunarian in a while eheheheheheheh" said the devil. Huh Luffy said " you keep saying weird things are you okay" but with that luffy was now seeing a light that shown bright and let him return to the world.
