I've been looking at devil fruit powers seeking approval and it seems the staff that approve the fruits over estimate the weakness of sea water and the draining effects it has on df users and their powers. There are many cannon examples in one piece that suggest while it is a weakness it's only a problem from the knees up when someone is standing in a pool of water and only totally incapacitating when the water level gets to waist level.
So I see multiple exames of people not being able to use their powers at all on see water. Here are just some cannon examples out of many to show that's not true.
1. Aokiji freezing water when putting his hand in it to allow for the safe package of ship wrecked tourists outside eater 7.
2. Akainu throwing magma fists in sea water, bringing it to a boil while fighting the white beard pirates.
3. Brook running on water.
4. Luffy using his fuusen to prevent being submerged in water for a brief time.
5. Fishman island arc luffy fights under water and his extremities constantly are used in sea water. While weakened, he never loses his strength totally.
6. Robin using her giant hands to stop the sunny from crashing into the sea floor when going to fishman island
7. Luffy kicking large chunks of frozen sea water through the 3 admirals in the summit war when trying to reach ace. The admirals weren't even fazed by this.
8. While the strawhat crew was on its way to the shabandy archipelagos they encountered serpent currents. They exploded these currents constantly to defend the ship and were constantly drenched in sea water, yet not a single fruit user on the ship showed even a moment of weakness
9. Water 7 arc, luffy rode in front of rocket man and was constantly drenched by the wake the sea train created, yet he showed no weakness and even was able to disperse a massive aqua Laguna wave with zoro's help.
10. Luffy propelling the tiny jet dial vessel "the crow" using his bazooka technique to avoid traps in upper yard during the skypeia arc.
And there's probably more out there I can't think of right now, but the examples are truly numerous. I find there are times when looking at posts of df when fruit approvers say " don't forget this totally won't work on sea water" and make the fruit creator edit his fruit adding that in. It's really not necessary. People generally know that the most powerful disruptor of df powers is kairoseke. There are multiple examples in cannon of even brief contact with kairoseke weakening or completely incapacitating a df user almost immediately. It feels like the df approvers on this forum treat sea water and kairoseke the same when I. Fact they are and aren't. For some reason it seems oda has given leeway for df users to struggle better against sea water than kairoseke even though they are fundamentally the same material. Because of this I think the forum should behave the same way in such matters.
