A theory possibly misplaced

[phoenixflame]

Okay, I think this is supposed to go here...

So I have a theory. A theory I thought up of last night. I am behind in the anime, so I hope you'll be fair with me. Here goes:

My theory is basically combining two devil fruits together. Before anyone starts trolling, I don't say that the combined DF would be safe to eat, but I see this as the only drawback of the theory.

First of all, comes the idea of Dr. Vegapunk combining DFs with weapons. This was first seen when Chopper ans Usopp fought with the Baroque Works agents. The Baroque works had a gun-dog named Lasso.
The first mention of Dr. Vegapunk actually combining DFs with objects came from Coby in the post-Enies Lobby arc. This would explain the presence of a gun-dog, as Crocodile was a Shichibukai, and the presence of an elephant-sword, as Spandam was the leader of a World Government organisation.

Then came an episode, where Teach fought Ace in a cowboy-style town on some island. I don't know if this was a filler, but I doubt it. So, in this episode, Teach said that ''he knew what Devil Fruit his friend found, and that this was the one he wanted.'' He said he got that knowledge out of books about DFs.
So, if you know what DFs you have, then you can combine them to form stronger powers, e.g.

Paramecia + Paramecia: Let's say that Luffy's and Robin's fruits were combined. If this fruit could be eaten, the user could make additional stretching limbs.

Paramecia + Zoan: Let's say that Luffy's and Kaku's DFs were combined. The user could turn into a giraffe, and still could stretch the animal limbs.

Paramecia + Logia: Let's say that Luffy's and Ace's DFs were combined. The user could produce and turn into flames, but could actually strentch the flame limbs.

Zoan + Zoan: This one is simple, it's basically the ability to turn into 2 different animals and their hybrids.

Logia + Logia: This also speaks for itself, ability to produce/turn into 2 elements and also combine them.

Logia + Zoan: For example, Enel's and Lucci's fruits. Simple, the user could turn into a leopard (or whatever Lucci turns into) and turn into/control thunders.


Of course, the only drawback I see is that someone couldn't possibly eat the combined DF, because of the explosion possibility.

Alright guys. BRING ON THE IDEAS!

I dunno, if this theory was right, does that also mean you vould get DF powers by eating a user?

*Takes a bite out of Luffy*

[phoenixflame]

Of course not. Not in a single place in the theory have I mentioned that eating a DF user gives you his ability. So no, no you can't have someone's DF powers by eating him. At least, not that I know of.

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

I'll have to shoot this theory down for now because there has been nothing to confirm such a feat is possible. Considering if two devil fruits were eaten by a single person then they would die or something or so I read somewhere.

[hellcats]

Shaki hes already stated that eating two devil fruit most likely isn't possible in any normal fashion. What hes bringing up his if combining a fruit with another fruit is possible.

I would say fusing a fruit into another one is doable. There's no reason I could imagine why its not possible, then again we don't know how the process works just yet. Would you be able to eat the fruit under normal circumstances? I doubt it. Then again, there's also a good possibility it wont grant the fruit a new ability to its eater, which is what Error was bringing up. There's nothing to say combining a fruit with a fruit wouldn't just give one of them the others power and essentially waste a fruit.

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

I was just saying that if the two fruits are combined, wouldn't eating the fruit be like eating two fruits? That was the point I was making.

Also, so far, only Zoan type fruits have been known to be combined with objects, as far as I know.

[Farris (Kuro)]

well looking at this as an in game device, I'd say it would be over powered for one and I would count any "combined" Devil Fruit as two toward your DF limit. in that regard I don't think a lot of people would want to sacrific to DF slots for one fruit for one character. and in that manner, you could only do a combination of the following:

Paramecia X Logia
Zoan X Zoan
Zoan X Logia
Zoan X Paramecia

As I wouldn't change the limits, nor the rules to allow people more DF simply for combined. It seems like it would unbalance things to do so. Least that's my opinion.

[hellcats]

I don't think it would work like that anyways Farris. Though BV doesn't follow the Universe's rules completely. So its really up to staff. Just that from what we've seen, a fruit isn't combined into an object to make it give a person who eats it powers. The fruit's own abilities are directly added to an object. So combining two Zoan would just end up with a Devil Fruit Animal.

[Masta Deltron]

No this is not physically possible.

Let me explain, Dr. Vegapunk himself is the only one close to figuring out the mysteries of a DF even so the Guareteed information is that you can not eat two fruits at all.

This results in the user dividing by zero and bad stuff happens to the person.

The combining of fruits are not even possible because most people do not even know which fruits are which until they eat them. Also not to mention each fruit has it's own genetic makeup that unique to each fruit. Thus why when the user eats the fruit they become fused with it genetically.

Now there are some fruits who go above and beyond normal fruits because of what they can do.

Marcos fruit-Like a logia everything passes through him. Wrong.
A phoenix is a bird that does not die but reincarnates itself constantly. This combined with the human regeneration process accelerates his ability to heal at wolverine speeds. So most attacks seem like they do not work at all, but really he just heals to damn fast.

Other fruits exist out there that are like his, thus mythical beasts because they do not obey the laws of the animal kingdom. Also they are the rarest fruits around.

Any other fruits like this can exist, but in the new world. We won't know until we reach that point.

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

Well put. I never actually realised that it was his healing process that allowed him to be unscathed although I was wondering whether that ability is granted to him as a phoenix.

[jubakilaque]

It's Juba's turn for input! Stop running >_>

I think that:
1) If you ate a devil fruit crossed with a devil fruit, you would die. This is because, like Deltron said, the devil fruit has a unique genetic make up, which reacts with the human body that bars it from swimming and eating two fruits correct? Yes. So, if you have a fruit crossed with a fruit, then two lots of the genetic code which bars it from swimming and eating two fruits. Regardless if the fruit becomes a devil fruit animal, or a devil fruit that can turn into X, I assume we are talking about the consequences of consumption. Well, if you mananged to catch it, the the devil fruit would most likely kill you, or make you throw up before it can be ingested because of the taste. So, eating a devil fruit crossed with a devil fruit wouldn't benefit anyone.
2) Doctor Vegapunk is the only one who can cross devil fruits and Mr 4 and Spandam are the only people with Devil Fruit X items. To be completely honest, I think that devil fruit X item isn't that useful because the fact they are devil fruit X item has proven to be their downfall in both cases. Lasso blew up Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas, and FunkFreed wimped out. Thus, even owning a devil fruit X item is a risky thing.

These are my probably scatterbrained opinions, thank you for reading and staying. *unlocks chains*
