Speculations Can "devils" of devil fruits exist independently of their user

Imu saying "Nidhogg, you were hiding in Elbaph all along" and Gorosei saying that Nika always slipped through their hands, does it mean that "devils" of the devil fruits are much more conscious than we think. With the likes of Nika / Nidhogg surpassing the normal trope, they could become self concious themselves, sort of like tailed beasts in Naruto. We could consider it as the next level of awakening of the devil fruits, where the devils come much more to the fore. Coming back to the Imu's words, he talks as if the devils interacted with each other much more freely in the past, before being trapped inside the devil fruits. Maybe Imu is also a "devil“ that overpowered is user and became completely independent. Also Imu calls himself "Mu", so maybe "Mu" is the devil that currently resides in Imu and has taken complete control of him/her

Well, we've kind of already seen that. At least, in a few cases.

Like the Inanimate Zoan Users, like Lassoo the Dog-Gun and Funkfreed the Elephant-Sword. These are just purely the "Devil" controlling a object that has "eaten" a Devil Fruit, with no other will involved.

And the "Unsuccessfully" Awakened Zoan Users, like the Jailer Beasts. Where the "Devil" takes over the Human host's body completely.

And, in fact, the Gorosei themselves mention that "All Zoan Fruits have a will of their own". (Chapter 1044)


So, at the very least, Zoan Fruits have wills of their own. This much is just canon.

I, personally, think it's pretty likely that ALL the Devil Fruits have some wills of their own. Simply by the nature of them being the dreams and desires of the people who "wished" them into existence. All the Fruits want to see their "Dreams" come true. They want to make their "futures" into reality.

(Chapter 1069)

There isn't that much evidence that the other Fruits have wills of their own. But, I feel like it's pretty probable. At least on some level. Zoans could still be the type of Fruit with the most will, though.


As for Imu being a "Rogue Devil Fruit"? Well...it's not impossible. But, I don't see a lot of evidence for it, yet. Imu hasn't really acted like they want to "free" the Devils from their Fruit "prisons" or anything. In fact, with Imu letting the God's Knights use Devil Fruits, it seems like Imu doesn't really care about Devil Fruits any moreso than anyone else does.

Imu DOES hang out in the Butterfly Garden a lot. Which...yeah, I guess that would be what a sentient "plant" would do? But, other than that, I don't really remember anything that really points to Imu being a "Rogue Devil Fruit" that took over their host.

It could happen. But, I don't personally think that's the way Oda's going with it.
