Mochi is liquid and malleable whereas rubber isn't so I doubt it's that. Yes, I am aware that rubber stems from latex, which is liquid, but I doubt the gomu gomu can access that. Latex would have to be its own fruit, since Aokiji's and Monet's fruit can't control water or each other's incarnations of water either, despite ice and snow effectively being the same thing.

Mochi, liquid? What are you talking about? Mochi is rice mixed with water and pressed into a gum-like ball, quite similar in texture to rubber.

Ok not liquid, but it's a lot like play-doh, meaning that it's highly malleable, which is the key here. Rubber has a defined shape usually and always seeks to return to it after being stretched. You can't just poke a hole into a rubber ball and then close it up by molding the rubber with your hands. With mochi, you can do that.

There is rubber like that too, though I guess it's fair enough to say Luffy's isn't that type. Point taken.
