Dimensional Powers: A New Take On Devil Fruits
I'm going to suggest that what Dr. Vegapunk said about Devil Fruit users living in different dimensions is meant to be taken literally and expand on this concept.

1. Devil Fruits contain dimensions created by the dream of someone before them.
2. When someone eats a Devil Fruit, their body gains the properties of the specific dimension.
3. Additionally, when someone awakens a Devil Fruit, they become able to make things other than their own body gain the properties of the specific dimension.

In other words, at the height of Devil Fruit abilities, users are able to manifest the very dimensions themselves by causing the real world to temporarily gain their properties. Although, I will add that there are specific ways the different fruit types do this.

A) Paramecia users create a Bizarro Dimension
B) Logia users create an Elemental Dimension
C) Zoans generally adapt to an environment/dimension instead of create one, I think. However, the other categories of Zoans such as Ancient or Mythic can have abilities from other classes entirely, and can therefore create both Bizarro and Elemental Dimension types or an odd mix of them. For example, Marco's Phoenix abilities resemble Logia abilities, but they have healing properties instead of burning properties.

Interestingly, one of the major differences between the classes in terms of awakenings relates to the logia state. Because it allows logia users to shift into another state, and they can cause other things to shift to that state, it means logia users are able to combine their body with their surroundings as a result, but paramecia and zoan users typically cannot. Blackbeard cannot do this because his logia fruit doesn't change his state. Darkness doesn't have a state. It's a force and not a substance like the others.

Very interesting concept, and it fits with Oda's SBS statement of Luffy summoning sunglasses and other items from Nika's world, as well as the Uta Uta No Mi from Film Red.

What do you think seawater and haki represent in this context? Why do they counter DFs?

For zoans, I would say their dimensional effect is simply more concentrated on the user's body compared to the other two.

So instead of changing the world around them to a certain limited degree, they change their user's bodies almost completely.

A dream is a desire for another reality. But if my will for a different reality than yours is stronger than the desire that originated your bubble-reality (DF), then my haki nullifies you.

As for seawater, IDK--maybe same link as there is between salt and shadows/nightmares? Something in the water brings your dream to a (temporary) end?

Also, if DFs are mini-dreams and BB's dream never ends, is he the product of a dream? Is that why he can't sleep?

Perhaps the sea and darkness logia are DF nullifiers because of something they have in common.

The abyss is the only thing I can think of.
Or maybe it's the OP equivalent of When Day Breaks where the sea is sentient and wants to devour everything.

I wouldn't be surprised if BB was some kind of eldritch being, born as an avatar of evil in contrast to Nika.

I won't explain why the sea hates devil fruits here I'll leave my explanation about that for another post when I feel there is more to support it.

However, if you want to see more of my thoughts, then I will be making a logia awakening post soon.
