Devil Fruits Are NOT Natural
If Devil Fruits are not man-made then that means they are magical.
- It has been repeated several times in the story that Devil Fruit abilities are not magic!
Why am I posting this?
- Many readers believe that Devil Fruits came into existence because someone wanted to do something all their life, but they couldn't do it, so, when they died, a nearby fruit transformed into a Devil Fruit containing their desire.
- The problem with this belief is that it implies that the Ancient Kingdom did not create the Devil fruits, but instead they have always simply been created by people wishing for things without any further explanation.
Personally, I believe that if Devil Fruits were created the way that other readers believe they were created then they would be constituted as a magical force in the universe, and that it would violate the rules of the story that have been previously repeated to us as readers at least to my understanding of it.
Instead, it is my belief that the Ancient Kingdom created the Devil Fruits using innate knowledge of the universe. Innate knowledge of the universe allowed them to bend the rules of physics and create something that would otherwise be unnatural. In this way, Devil Fruits are not magical - they are a result of human experimentation.
