User blog comment:Feroza/How will Luffy awaken. THEORIES./@comment-49.191.135.152-20161013061302

Remember how Doflamingo somehow managed to blackmail the Nobles? I'd guess that he blackmailed them with the knowledge of how to awaken fruits.

There are people other than Scopper who can give Luffy an awakened fruit. In particular, Vegapunk. There's also Davy Jones, that cursed pirate who lives under the sea (the guy who gave the Davy Back Fight its name, remember? I'm still waiting for confirmation that he's actually Joy Boy and the D in the Will of D).
