mugiwara no mika like i have suggested before i think awakenings should work like this you would have 2 bars like the cola bar 1 would be the body bar and the other is the mind bar your mind bar would already have a number in it lets say from 500 to 5000 and lets say the number you have is 4358 your body bar starts out at 0 and each time you use a devil fruit ability your body bar would gain a point the range could be from 1 to 5 and you can change it from 1 to 10 in config and the chance for you to get points is 1 in 5 chances so 1 in 5 abilities used you will get points from 1 to 5 (without changing config) and once your body bar reaches your mind bar meaning your body bar will have the same amount of points as your mind bar being 4358 the number we chose as an example then once that happens you will awaken
darthmiao I think, that this would be a great way to reach awakening, but I would add the detail, that like Haki, you can see the progress of the awakening only from a like devilfruittrainer or so.
