Today in "Gum-Gum Geste", we see that when you're on the ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, you learn to let loose and have a little fun. And come on, if YOU had a rubber body, wouldn't you do this AT LEAST once? (I referenced Chopper's room on the SUNNY by accident, but these bits go everywhere.)

TOP LEFT:

(WHAM!)

NAMI: Doctor! DOCTOR!

TOP RIGHT:

NAMI: I've broken my bones!! : <
CHOPPER: WAAAUGH!! HOW'D THAT HAPPEN!!??

MIDDLE RIGHT:

CHOPPER: ...wait...
NAMI: ...PFFT

(That last shot of Nami fleeing the scene is perhaps one of my most favorite things I've ever drawn. I'm mean LOOKIT HER.

Also, I was originally gonna have Chopper calmly point out to Nami that she's made of rubber and as such, her bones CAN'T break, but that wouldn't have nearly been as funny, Chopper would totally react like this, and I would have robbed myself of a fun visual. Thank goodness I pivoted.)

So Nami is rubber in "Gum-Gum Geste". What does that mean for Luffy? What's there to mean? Luffy's Luffy whether he's rubber or not. And because he thinks of weird stuff like this all the time, Nami has a little inspiration to pull from. PROBABLY won't make her accept her powers any quicker, tho'.

TOP ROW:

LUFFY: Man, sometimes I'm jealous of you, Nami.
NAMI: Mm?
LUFFY: I mean, my punch is already as strong as a pistol, but imagine if I could hit someone from super far away like you probably could!
*POW!*
NAMI: ...I probably COULD, couldn't I? (I don't want to use my fist, though, so...)

MIDDLE ROW:

NAMI: Gum-Guuuum...JAVELIN!
LUFFY: YEAHYEAHYEAH! JUST LIKE THAT!!! (I'D use my fist, tho'.)

*WHAMMO!*

BOTTOM:

NAMI: I'm SO SORRY,  Usopp!! Are you okay!? (Stupid rubber powers!)
LUFFY: Hey, you gotta admit, Usopp, that was pretty cool, wasn't it? Shishishishi!
USOPP: THIS is how I get introduced in these things?
