"Awakening?"
You scratch your head.
"That stuff he did where he turned the walls into mochi? Ew. No thanks. I don't want that!"
"No no! It's not like that. Yours will be different. Probably."
"I can turn things into bats? COOL!"
She starts rubbing her head and tries to figure out how to explain it to you.
"Ugh no. Awakenings are different. Like how every fruit is different. And frankly I have no idea what a Zoan fruits awakening would be like. But that's not the point. The Awakening is like, your fruit right now is sleeping. And it has been sleeping ever since you ate it and even before that. But it's waking up now. Imagine getting up after sleeping and you're groggy as always but then you see milk and your eyes snap open? That's what it's like."
"First off, you didn't need to explain it to me like that. But I appreciate that you did. And second, how do you know all that?"
"Katakuri told me. Well, us. When he awakened his it was a big deal. Nobody else had that. Well, Mama obviously does but nobody has seen that. So when he came out with it everyone who had an ability lost their mind and started nagging him about how he did it, including Newshi. And since we use his power together we were also interested."
"Cool! So you can help me with it?"
"That's the thing. No. Nobody can. It's a thing that either it happens or it doesn't. And it all depends on you. But the way Katakuri described things it should go something like this. You know how Devil Fruits don't "get stronger", you just get "better at using them". That's the key. You need to fully realize the capabilities of your fruit by pushing them to its limits, experimentation and a lot of pondering. So some idiot who isn't striving to be the best there is, or someone who is not suited for the ability will never awaken it. It takes someone who truly made that ability his to awaken it. And when that someone finally squeezes every last drop of potential out of it, that's when the real fun begins."
"I see, I see."
"I mean it's no wonder it's happening to you. The way you use your ability is nothing short of awe inspiring!"
"Uh. No."
"What?"
"I hate to disappoint you but I just make stuff up on the fly. I'm pretty sure I have like 3 names for one attack because I keep forgetting I already made it and I invent it again."
