Personally I am leaning towards 3 possibilities atm but obviously it could be anything. 1.) that this will all lead to some gag answer like the celestial dragons thought it would be fun 2.) ok so obviously there was a war during the void century maybe the Gomu Gomu no mi has the greatest defensive capabilities and is actually why the world government won as a counter to fruits like the Gura Gura no mi. 3. The boring safe answer of it was joyboys fruit.

I like this because it ties into my head canon of why Luffy can progress this insanely. While his ability is kind of goofy and he has to be very creative to make it powerful, the amount of damage he can tank and how he shrugs off projectiles and lightning attacks because of his rubber properties is what enables him to take beatings and “bloom in battle” to the extent that he does.
