From the first episode of One Piece Luffy chants "Gomu Gomu No" to start his
attack, it is also seen in other devils fruit users too. Is there any
particular reason for it?

one-piece
Why would Luffy chant "Gomu Gomu No" every time he is attacking? Is it mandatory to chant the corresponding fruit name for every devil's fruit user?


All fruit users in One Piece can use their fruit's powers freely. The reason
for Luffy and every other to put a name to all actions and shout it in battle
is only a trope of the shonen-style anime.

This fact can be checked by seeing Luffy "losing" his head when he ate the
fruit, or any Logia user making his body ethereal without saying a word. Or
moments when characters "invoke" the name after doing the action itself.
