After all, it turns out Luffy's fruit was not the simple Gomu Gomu treat. The power gifted to Luffy came from the Hito Hito no Mi, a powerful Zoan fruit that the World Government did its best to hide. While the treat does give its rubbery powers, its full potential is only limited by the imagination of whoever ate the Hito Hito no Mi. And what's more, the government considers the fruit to be the most dangerous of any in existence.
The revelation about Luffy's fruit would be enough to break the fandom, but this chapter goes on to tease more about Joy Boy, Orochi's fate, and Cipher Pol's influence before closing shop. It goes without saying One Piece chapter 1044 has cemented itself as a hallmark chapter for fans. So if you ever doubted creator Eiichiro Oda's masterful storytelling, hopefully this clears things up for you.
