Discussion Who will get Ace's Mera Mera no Mi (Fire) Devil Fruit?

[Doomchen]

I must say, I like the idea of Sanji with the Mera Mera fruit.

I think that Sanji is falling behind in the Monster Trio, and is nowhere near Luffy and Zoro right now.
Give him the Mera Mera fruit and now he's totally back with them.

Plus, fire is his element, so it would make sense.

On the other side, his goal is to find All Blue.
If he can't swim in the ocean, isn't his goal forfeit in a way...?

Last point depends on whether or not his ability to do his "Blue Walk" is disabled by having eaten a DF. personally I don't think that it would be, which is one more reason why Sanji makes so much sense to me.

 

[Ninomiya]

Well as long as water doesn't go above a DF user's knees, they won't drown. Can't remember the link of the page.

 

[31TeV]

Too cliché.

If Caesar deliberately left a bag full of fruits of the same kind (apples) to recover the DF later and there are books with DFs listed, it means each DF always incarnate in the same kind of fruit.

We don't know if the Mera Mera no Mi was a rare kind of fruit which would be in Marineford and we don't even know the entire dynamics of DF reincarnation.

But it's possible. If the Mera Mera no Mi by chance was reborn in Marineford, and the Marines got it, there'd be a very slim chance of Coby getting it.

Am I missing something? Why would it matter what type or shape the fruit is? Isn't it the patterns that distinguish specific devil fruits? That seems to make more sense to me.

 

[jues]

I think that reintroducing Mera Mera fruit on some other character would be a mistake considering good storytelling - the readers of One Piece have in my opinion seen the best side of the fruit so Oda has to consider what new can he show people by bringing the same fruit on two persons excluding the "surprise factor" which would make Luffy go mad seeing Ace's fruit on someone else.

 

[Uriel]

Mad?
Why? Nostalgic I think it would be more accurate.

I keep saying that I would love that the new generation of pirates after Luffy has it. It would be so cute *-*

 

[Avid]

I doubt the higher up Marines lack the knowledge, and I would bet we see them again. Both Ace's and Moriah's.

Monet also died. Doflamingo might have had a backup for that too.

 

[0Xellos]

Sanjo with the mera mera no mi and zor with the sake sake no mi... it would be kinda awesome...

They could make fruits punch together

 

[Zehahaha]

If that baby Makino was carrying is really Shanks's child, would be sweet if he would get the fruit and becomes the next PK too hehe

hope its someone who will dramatically save luffys ass from someone/something extremely drangerous like when luffy is in danger , someone will use the mera mera power and save his ass in some epic pose and that someone gotta be at least be a significant characterand somewhat close to luffy

 

[ukimix]

It's going to be a pop green. Luffy is going to leave the fruit near to Ussop's bag before they go to the bed and Baam!!! Ussop will have a powerful kabuto from that moment on.

 

[mattiaildivino]

it was the DF of rufy's brother. therefore,the only one who will eat it will be rufy's brother: Sabo!!!

 

[EddyBob15]

I'm thinking that the fruit will be eaten by whoever joins the Straw Hats after Jinbe.

 

[THM Nindo]

I'd say it might be one of those:

- Luffy
He could be stupid enough to eat it, and he might survive since we still don't know why Blackbeard was able to have two DF.
If it's because he's a D, that would mean that Luffy can too, since he's also a D.

- Sanji
He's a cook, his element is clearly fire, and he's been falling behind in the Monster Trio, so he's a good candidate.
My only points against it is that he's the best swimmer, and his "dream" is to find All Blue...

- Momo
I'll be honest, I'm not sure why, but I think that Momo might do it.
Being a kid, he could be stupid like Luffy was when he was a kid, and he could try to eat that DF.

He would then become a "Fire Dragon", or something like that...
He might be able to survive thanks to the fact that the "Dragon DF" he has was manufactured, and wasn't a real one... who knows...

He currently is holding hostage Caesar Clown. Caesar has enough expertise about devil fruit to implant them in inanimate objects, and extract them when desired. He also is the only person in the world capable of creating SAD, the key ingredient in making artificial devil fruit. The Strawhats are looking for the factory where those artificial devil fruit are produced. There is someone there to either extract the gomu gomu no mi from Luffy, or "safely" implant a second devil fruit power, and they are headed to a facility potentially containing supplies and equipment Caesar would need to do this. The plot has converged for Luffy to either swap powers, or gain a second, without the normal risk.

Personally, if he does get the fruit, I'd rather he lose gomu gomu no mi. Two abilities seems like overkill. My actual inclination though is that Luffy will become the second, and last, character with two devil fruit abilities. This balances out Blackbeard, probably Luffy's last adversary before he reaching Raftel. Teach wields a darkness (yami yami no mi) that will shake (gura gura no mi) the world. Luffy will counter with a passion and determination (mera mera no mi) tempered by flexibility (gura gura no mi).

- Sanji

Mera mera no mi is one of the stronger known devil fruit, comparable to Kuzan's hie hie no mi, if used to it's fullest potential. I can't imagine Luffy's third in command gaining a fruit that powerful. Sanji then would be arguably the strongest Strawhat, by a fairly wide margin, with the mera mera no mi, armament haki, observation haki, powering Sanji's "black leg" to almost obscene levels. The same could also be said about Zoro. Add mera mera no mi to his swordsmanship and haki, and he arguably is the strongest Strawhat, if not the strongest over all character.

 

[Ninomiya]

, if not the strongest over all character.

At this stage in the story he still wouldn't be. Later down the line.
Considering there are Shanks and his crew etc. various others who are probably not scared of Luffy in power.

If Sanji gets the mera mera no mi then his kicks would be reinforced with armament haki, wreathed in pillars of flame. He also would be a logia user, only other haki users would be able to defeat him. Giving Sanji (or Zoro) so much raw power would be an ass pull of epic proportions. The combination of his martial arts ability, haki, and fire logia would give him the potential to be an admiral level character. It is early enough in the story that Sanji would have the time to gain experience, hone his ability, and meet that potential. The only thing capable of stopping him would be plot convenience. I have to doubt Oda would take that route.

 

[THM Nindo]

Erm... Ok
Luffy already gained a second power, and that is Haki... Why do you insist on Luffy having the Mera Mera no Mi, while people like Garp, Shanks, Rayleigh are batshit insanely strong without a DF ? WB, Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru are batshit strong with just one DF and Haki... Why Luffy needs to have two DF ? I don't get this obsession

Again, BB's body is special, hence why he was able to handle two DF, we don't know the details, but Marco clearly said that BB is different from the others

I think that the only reason Blackbeard was able to have 2 DF was because he is a D.
And Luffy is also a D, so he has the VERY SPECIAL power of being able to have more than 1 DF.

That would be very bad, if the main character is 1 out of a million with a special power and that he doesn't use it.
So, I think that, if it's revealed that indeed it's because BB was D that he could get multiple DF, there's no way Luffy won't get a second one as well.

Marco outright said that it's because of his body, never mentioned anything about the D, but about his body, and it kinda makes sense since that punk could tank some serious blow like it was nothing, while Luffy's tanking abilities are mainly due to his Gomu Gomu no Mi

Well, maybe he has the body of a D, which Luffy would have too.
Who knows?
