    Theory about Vergo having Metal paramecia Devil Fruit.

    So after some members of this forum suggesting me to make a thread about my theory.. Here I am posting fruit of "too much free time for manga"


    I thought about Vergo and what we have seen/heard from him and If Im right he didnt took any damage from "non haki" attack beside Laws "counter-shock"(yes, I think that Sanjis DJ kicks are enchanced with haki, same like Luffys Red Hawk). So there must be a reason for his durability.
    Vergo acted weird few times having problems with his memory, some people said that maybe he is some kind of cyborg but I think that he is metal/ iron/ titanium/ some other heavy metal or simply metal man.
    Poisoning from heavy metals causes person to have problems with memory, even personality disorders. So maybe he is somehow like Magellan- poisons had its tool on him even while he was poison man himself, still he was attracted to his DFs "element". Vergo after coffe with Monet and Cesar said that coffe and cookies were good but then they said to him that there was no cookies, before going after SH, G5 and Law he was searching for his sword just to be reminded by Monet that he is not a swordsman, later while talking to Doflamingo he said something about taking pics of Law after he finishes him off with camera he bought at Dressrosa and Doflamingo says that he didnt bought any camera there.

    We saw that Sanji said that his body is like big chunk of metal and we all thought that it means that he was using Tekkai- there is possibility that we should take Sanjis words literally here. That would somehow explain Sanjis bone cracking while tanking one of Vergos heavy kicks.

    This might even explain that food sticks to him, when you are cooking food doesnt stick to teflon for example but it often gets stuck to metal. People now might think about that spoon that got stuck to Vergo face, well I know its streched but some metals after getting some electricity migh get a little mangetic, he was at laboratory or.. If he really has Metal paramecia as I think.. he is all metals in on so he can have naturally some magnetic properties as some metals do have, nothing as special as Kidd just not strong magnetic properites. That might be reason why he uses bambo as a weapon, not some sword of any kind.
    Being metal man would make sense out of why Vergo was thinking about next day and his breakfast when Law stuck him to fence instead of acting like he was going to die. Before he get to know that Monet is going to blow up everyone/ poison them he didn't seem concerned at all. I sure hope he didnt die with smile on his face like one of D, he is not worthy of this kind of death.

    I did some more reaserch- Vergo said once that Hamburger is his favourite kind of food, so I googled "heavy metals hamburger" and it seems that I found something very interesting- hamburgers/ beef often contain lots of heavy metals. http://www.yearofplenty.org/2010/05/...ef-supply.html
    Just read about problems caused by too much heavy metals in ones diet.
    http://www.meltdown.com/metals.htm
    Here you people have quoted first few lines:
    "A single mother called my Meltdown hotline and requested a Tissue Mineral Analysis for her and her daughter. The daughter was doing terribly in school. She couldn't remember her multiplication tables and was failing math. The funny thing was, the mother was having trouble remembering things, too."

    So what do you people think? Is it possible for my theory to be true in the end or its all too far-fetched?

    No, I think you're reaching too much. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy

    His memory and the food thing are just personality quirks. Most OP characters have them.

    Has Oda ever been this unclear over whether or not someone had a DF? Certainly it can sometimes be a while before we get the name, but I don't think there's ever been a case where a character has been introduced, pumped up, then defeated, then revealed to have had a DF all along. It's sort of anticlimactic.
    Doflamingo also explicitly stated it was Vergo's haki that's protecting him, so there's no need to explain his "armor."

    Re: Theory about Vergo having Metal paramecia Devil Fruit.

    Well I can tell you that I see your points, that doesnt change that some parts of my so called "theory" add up so who knows if Oda doesnt want to suprise us with his devil fruit reveal. I know that he wasnt doing this before but it would be quite unexpected for us to get to know after Punk Hazard that Vergo had Devil Fruit ability.
    Those quirks in personality/ things like food sticking to him might be things to make him different from Mr 0 ability enough so nobody would complain.
    Vergo might not have metal paramecia but if he has it then his sideburns can be seen as letters M on each side of face. I can go on

    Texas sharpshooter fallacy is needed if you try to figure out some things in One Piece I dont know any other manga with that much things foreshadowed like years before we get to know them.

    Maybe I am looking to much into this but still, for example think about that Laws Devil Fruit ability was shown to be stronger than Vergos haki with only one really strong cut, then why Law said that Counter Shock(that is 99% part of Laws DF power) isnt working used on Vergo?

    A very nice thought,but I think you are overestimating oda , surely he is a good writer,but his characters' stupidity is just ordinary. I think he was so hard because of the tekkai,it'd be bad if it turned out that he ate a df.too many dfs,imo.oda should decrease the characters with them.
