User blog comment:Mythical zoan fruit enthusiast/For those who want Luffy to have Mera Mera and Gomu Gomu/@comment-64.229.85.132-20130502011126

i think luffy shouldn't get the mera mera fruit because it would seem as if he is being given a powerup. the point of the two year timeskip was to hone the straw hats skills and get stronger to protect each other, but luffy getting the mera mera fruit would just render the training ALMOST useless (almost in a sense that we don't what other moves luffy has learned during the timeskip so it would depend on how such moves are laid out in the new world). of course their would be training required to master the mera mera, but even still it would be a massive powerup for no reason. also luffy has been working very hard up until this point with the gomu gomu no mi, so why give most of the hardwork up to all of a sudden eat the mera mera no mi?
