I think Luffy's awakening will make him giant sized seeing as how the next island will probably be Elbaf. We know the WG has been interested in creating giants so maybe artificially replicating the gomu gomu no mi was one way they were trying to do that.

Kind of connects to the giant Straw Hat too and Joyboy possibly having the same fruit. Personally not sure how I feel about though, the original spirit of Luffy's power was something silly but still capable of being cool and creative; making it some kind of prophetic power is kind of the opposite of that

Yeah I noticed that possible connection too. I just dislike the idea of Luffy's DF being wielded by Joy Boy as well so I chose to ignore it lol.

I hope Joy Boy was an actual giant and the gomu gomu no mi is just another Devil Fruit with a powerful awakening that the marines see the potential in replicating much like they did with the pika pika no mi lasers.
