The Straw Hat Pirates are the protagonist crew of One Piece and also one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. In One Piece chapter 1053, which was released officially on June 20, 2022, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 29, Luffy's crew was officially made an Emperor crew. As a crew of a Yonko, things are expected of the Straw Hat Pirates. Usually, all Yonko crews have powerful officers that operate at the highest level of strength, usually with strong Devil Fruit abilities. Within the ranks of the Straw Hat Pirates, there are four strong Devil Fruit users, including Monkey D. Luffy. However, only one of them has an awakened Devil Fruit, and that is Luffy, the captain of the crew.
Now, however, in the Elbaf arc climax of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda is lining up a Devil Fruit awakening for another member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and that is none other than the Doctor of the crew, Chopper. Chopper's Devil Fruit has started to awaken in Elbaf, and its full reveal is only a matter of time.
When it comes to powerful Devil Fruit abilities, there is none that can match up to Awakening. Initially, Devil Fruit Awakening was mentioned by none other than Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the primary antagonists of the series. Originally, Devil Fruit Awakening was mentioned in One Piece chapter 785, released on May 11, 2015. In this chapter, Doflamingo was seen fighting against Luffy and explained to him that there exists a level that takes Devil Fruit abilities beyond all their limits and capabilities. This power is Devil Fruit Awakening. When Doflamingo showed the Awakening of his Ito Ito no Mi, he was seen utilizing his fruit almost as if it weren't a Paramecia anymore.
Doflamingo: Listen closely, boy!! There's another stage entirely to the power of Devil Fruits: Awakenings! It is very rare, but some abilities awaken and start affecting objects aside from their wielders.
Luffy: Everything is turning into string! It's like he isn't a Paramecia!

Later on, we saw more awakened Devil Fruit powers, such as Katakuri's Mochi Mochi no Mi in the Whole Cake Island arc. Finally, in One Piece chapter 1046, Kaido, the Yonko of the Sea, explained Devil Fruit Awakening to us properly. According to Kaido, Devil Fruit Awakening is what happens when the mind and the body of the user finally catch up with the ability. Different Devil Fruits show different Awakenings. For instance, Paramecia usually affects the surroundings of the user, while Zoans grant unique transformations, but there can be exceptions to this rule.
One Piece's Elbaf arc has finally started the process of Chopper's Devil Fruit Awakening, and the biggest proof of that is chapter 1178. In this chapter, Chopper, the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates, was seen canceling Domi Reversi, a powerful technique utilized by Nerona Imu to turn everyone into demonic slaves. Chopper's Hito Hito no Mi allows him to become a human and gain enlightenment. In other words, demonic powers should not work on him, but the fact that Chopper could spread this demonic power cancellation to his surroundings means that his fruit is finally starting to awaken.
