Powers & Abilities Serious questions about Devil Fruits

[TheblinkingBat]

1-First one is: Do Devil Fruits really choose it's users? Cause if we remember episode 325, Blackbeard said to Ace in that episode "This power chose me, Ace! Zehahahahahaha, and with it I became the strongest man, Ace!" Well, when Corazon stole the Ope Ope fruit, didn't he force Law to eat it? he was literally grabbing Law by the face and was putting the fruit in his mouth and making him eat it, well that's not a DF choosing it's user, maybe BB was exaggerating to Ace back then

2-If someone ate a DF but didn't eat it fully, can someone else eat the remaining parts of it or no? like, if we remember correctly, Luffy didn't eat the Gum Gum fruit fully, there was still remaining parts of it and ofc we all know Luffy ate it by accident and in the time Shanks was yelling at Luffy and was trying to make him puke what he ate, Luffy seemed regretful when he saw Shanks was angry at him

In this video of Luffy eating the DF at 0:13 he didn't eat it fully, so it's like, can't Shanks eat the remaining part of it?

In the alternate version of the Anime, it was shown that Luffy ate all of it at 0:18 in the compilation of One Piece characters eating DF's, also Sabo at 1:00 he didn't eat the Mera Mera fruit fully so can't Jesus Burgess (back when we thought he wasn't a DF user) eat it or can't he bring the DF to BB to eat the remaining parts of the fruit?

3-Why DF users can't swim? it is because Devils hate water or what exactly?

4-Where do DF's come from? cause there's also Artificial DF's which comes from the SMILEs factory and they build an army of Artificial DF users, or what? or remind me, where do Artificial ones come from

5-From where did Doflamingo get the Mera Mera fruit? was it an Artificial one? or did Doflamingo put a drop of Ace's blood on a normal fruit to turn it to a DF? (similar like when Smiley died and a drop of his slime dropped on a normal fruit turned it to a DF) so could that maybe explain BB stealing WB fruit by having a normal fruit in his hand?

6-So how can BB can have multiple DF's? does he have another DF that allows him to consume multiple ones? like is he a Cerebrus or an Octopus? also cause the Darkness DF can nullify DF's and absorb it so he maybe used the Zoan DF and the darkness fruit to absorb WB's DF or what? also another reason for that is cause BB's body type is different, well if we look at characters such as Byrnndi World or Douglas Bullet, he has same body type as BB, Fat and tall and has hairy belly and short legs

7-Can Luffy have 2 DF's? I mean since his sun god Nika allows him to control his powers however he wants, can't he have multiple DF's? also if we remember correctly, he had multiple transformations like Water Luffy against Crocodile, he absorbed 100 shadows to become Nightmare Luffy, he ate Cracker Biscuits to become Tankman, and also in a Non-Canon Arc, Lily entered his body and turned giant inside his body.

8-What other characters in OP that can have multiple DF's other than BB? Luffy, Kaido, Byrnndi World, Douglas Bullet, Shanks (due to his Coc haki that can make him control nature and everything he wants)...who else you think can have multiple DF's?

9-Are most of the Zoan DF users immortals or they just can't die easily? like, Pell survived the nuclear bomb, so can Kaido survive being melted in the Lava? Zoan DF users when they awaken their DF's, they can get up from being KO'd, even Crocodile explained it in Impel Down. (the only ones who died were Smiley and Orochi)

10-Why still there is no Water DF until now? would it be too OP in this series? would it affect other DF users who fight anyone with that power since DF users can't swim or at least can't Water Devil Fruit would have a limit in it that it can't weaken DF users like the water of the sea?

No the rest of the fruit turns into a normal fruit, the power goes to the person who takes the first bite

 

[SkySanji]

1. Zoan fruits might be able to, like it was pretty much stated that the Nika fruit was actively avoiding the WG, so this could be evidence for the Yami being a Zoan.

2. No, in the Ace novel, Ace and another character both ate the Mera, but because Ace took a bite first he got the power.

3. Unknown specifically.

4. Still unknown really, Vegapunk theorized that they're manifestations of people's dreams essentially.

5. Ace died -> The fruit respawned somewhere -> Doflamingo or someone else found it and gave it to Doflamingo.

6. His body is "different" and he has a special lineage of sorts, so could be part of an almost extinct race that could eat multiple.

7. Probably not.

8. Likely nobody, it's what makes Blackbeard special.

I'm going to assume you're an anime-only fan (but I am also assuming you're caught up to the anime) and answer each one without spoilers if I can -if you're not caught up, ignore my response

1-First one is: Do Devil Fruits really choose it's users? Cause if we remember episode 325, Blackbeard said to Ace in that episode "This power chose me, Ace! Zehahahahahaha, and with it I became the strongest man, Ace!" Well, when Corazon stole the Ope Ope fruit, didn't he force Law to eat it? he was literally grabbing Law by the face and was putting the fruit in his mouth and making him eat it, well that's not a DF choosing it's user, maybe BB was exaggerating to Ace back then

In a manner of speaking, yes. It appears to be the case that Zoan fruits have some basic intelligence or will of their own; I think it's more likely these throwaway lines are just in reference to how some fruits just *really* suit their users, or like how, for instance, the Government just can't seem to catch a break across an 800 year period for keeping the Hito Hito no Mi Model Nika

2-If someone ate a DF but didn't eat it fully, can someone else eat the remaining parts of it or no? like, if we remember correctly, Luffy didn't eat the Gum Gum fruit fully, there was still remaining parts of it and ofc we all know Luffy ate it by accident and in the time Shanks was yelling at Luffy and was trying to make him puke what he ate, Luffy seemed regretful when he saw Shanks was angry at him

We have known since Ennies Lobby that one mouthful is all it takes, and then the fruit is redundant as the eater has already obtained that power. By normal means only one person can have a specific power at a time.

3-Why DF users can't swim? it is because Devils hate water or what exactly?

We still don't know, but (and I'm pretty sure it'll be coming up VERY soon in the anime) we have learned a convincing hypothesis for the answer to this question in the manga during the Egghead Arc

4-Where do DF's come from? cause there's also Artificial DF's which comes from the SMILEs factory and they build an army of Artificial DF users, or what? or remind me, where do Artificial ones come from

We still don't know! But we can say that in all likelihood they originate with the ancient kingdom in some way

5-From where did Doflamingo get the Mera Mera fruit? was it an Artificial one? or did Doflamingo put a drop of Ace's blood on a normal fruit to turn it to a DF? (similar like when Smiley died and a drop of his slime dropped on a normal fruit turned it to a DF) so could that maybe explain BB stealing WB fruit by having a normal fruit in his hand?

We know from the Punk Hazard arc and from Blackbeard's consumption of the Gura Gura no Mi that a Devil Fruit regrows in the general vacinity of where the old user dies. He was at Marineford and is a Tenryuubito so has political power and connections to obtain the fruit if he didn't find it himself shortly after the war. Doffy would have been aware of this fact given he had a close relationship with Caesar who showed this to us.

6-So how can BB can have multiple DF's? does he have another DF that allows him to consume multiple ones? like is he a Cerebrus or an Octopus? also cause the Darkness DF can nullify DF's and absorb it so he maybe used the Zoan DF and the darkness fruit to absorb WB's DF or what? also another reason for that is cause BB's body type is different, well if we look at characters such as Byrnndi World, he has same body type as BB, Fat and tall and has hairy belly and short legs

We still don't know specifics but we receive a new hint later in the manga during the Egghead Arc - so keep your eyes peeled for that!

7-Can Luffy have 2 DF's? I mean since his sun god Nika allows him to control his powers however he wants, can't he have multiple DF's? also if we remember correctly, he had multiple transformations like Water Luffy against Crocodile, he absorbed 100 shadows to become Nightmare Luffy, he ate Cracker Biscuits to become Tankman, and also in a Non-Canon Arc, Lily entered his body and turned giant inside his body.

As far as we're aware and to the best of our knowledge, Teach remains the only character that can have multiple fruit powers.

8-What other characters in OP that can have multiple DF's other than BB? Luffy, Kaido, Shanks (due to his Coc haki that can make him control nature and everything he wants)...who else you think can have multiple DF's?

See answer above to question 7

Last question: Are Zoan DF users immortals? and how can they die? the only ones that died were Smiley and Orochi, their Awakening is that they can revive themselves quickly after getting KO'd, even Crocodile explained it, could be the reason why Pell survived the nuclear bomb? and can Kaido still survive being melted in the Lava.

Why still there is no Water DF until now? would it be too OP in this series? would it affect other DF users who fight anyone with that power since DF users can't swim or at least can't Water Devil Fruit would have a limit in it that it can't weaken DF users like the water of the sea?
