The protagonist of One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy is an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit user. Luffy ate the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, previously known as the Gomu Gomu no Mi, in Chapter 1 of One Piece on July 18, 1997, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #34. Since then, Luffy has gone on to unlock several of this fruit's powers. In the Wano Country arc, specifically in Chapter 1044, Luffy managed to awaken this fruit and bring out its true potential.
