Chapter Summaries

The author presented a theory that Luffy’s Gum-Gum Fruit was connected to Sunlight Tree Eve resin and that Sun God Nika had the same power, which could explain the Red Line’s gaps and Fish-Man Island’s unusual properties. The post ended by speculating that Luffy might use Fish-Man Island as a resin-coated projectile to break the Red Line and unite the Four Blues.

• The author argued that Luffy’s fruit could involve resin secreted by Sunlight Tree Eve, linking its stretching and expansion to Luffy’s techniques and awakening.
• The author proposed that Nika could absorb and emit sunlight, create Sunlight Tree Eve, and leave a gap in the Red Line above Fish-Man Island.
• The author suggested that Joy Boy inherited Nika’s plan to destroy the Red Line, possibly using the Mark-Mark Fruit to aim.
• The author cited Fish-Man Island’s ancient history, unusual outer bubble, and Sunlight Tree Eve roots as clues that it could be transformed into a powerful projectile.
• The author speculated that Luffy could awaken his fruit, coat Fish-Man Island in resin and Armament Haki, and fire it through the Red Line to unite the Four Blues.
• The author supported the theory with details from manga chapter titles and cover illustrations, while acknowledging that the speculation might be wrong.
