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

[Quantized]

If you use this kind of reason then Eneru can eat multiple df as well because his lightning body doesn't explode either if he's eating df while he's in the lightning form right?

Perhaps, but I think there are a restriction that even Blackbeard most follow, you probably can't eat two of the same type of DF's, for example you can't mix 2 Logia's in the same body, 2 Zoan or even 2 Paramecia devil fruits for that matter.

Luffy's DF is a Paramecia type, Ace's is a Logia type, so in a sense if you have the right type and ability from a devil fruit, it may just be just one of the creteria's to have two DF's succesfully.

Also keep in mind how fond and how much research Blackbeard did on devil fruits in general, think back on the flashback from when Blackbeard was still in Whitebeard's crew.

Luffy: Paramecia (His own) & Logia (From Ace)
Blackbeard: Paramecia (From Whitebeard) & Logia (His own)

When the showdown comes for Luffy vs. Blackbeard, I think this would be pretty damn epic, considering all the emotions and cool drawings that can come from all this.

It's bound to be one epic show down, full of emotions and epicness, I for one think that Oda is heading down this road, but lets see.

P.S. Blackbeard probably did a lot of research to find out how to mix two devil fruits, and was probably one among of the first in history to do it.
Luffy most likely holds all the creteria's to do the same, but will however likely recklessly eat it. That's the Luffy we know, after all.

Does Luffy know that Blackbeard ate 2 DF?
I know that he was at the war, but it happened after Ace's death, so he was in shock, so he probably didn't understood what was happening.

I guess, it's possible that he saw it or that he learned about it afterwards, though...

I'm wondering, because he clearly said that he couldn't eat Ace's DF because it would kill him.
But, if he doesn't know and somehow learned it in the next few chapters, I could definitely see him being reckless and just try to eat it.

Does SpongeBob know that Plankton ate 2 DF?

Nah. He won't be trying that... it would go against Oda's decision to make his main character have a rather useless power (yet make the best out of it). I believe he might ask his crew members to eat it but they will all decide not to. So it will go to someone worthy of it (with Luffy's approval).

Did he ever say it littereally like that though? Twisted translation or memory?
For all we know, Luffy making a "useless" ability "useful" could all be part of the early/mid stages of the manga to build a good story and manga personality/atmosphere, and not the later/end part of the manga where the personality and atmosphere of the manga is more or less solid stone.
Luffy is entering the stages where he's about to become the strongest of the strongest, there is all reason to believe that it's entirely possible Oda is gonna go down this road, now that the feeling of manga is solid.

Cause Luffy needs more to become the strongest, and I don't think what he has at the moment put on steoroids is gonna cut it, something more creative has to be put into the mix of Luffy's powers, and Oda is good at that.

Giving Luffy Ace's powers, and then at that have him have a huge epic fight with Blackbeard, who has Whitebeards DF, sure would not only give Luffy an instant huge powerup, but it'd be creative too if comparing to merely putting his current powers on sterioids.
Not only that, the fight would be much more symbolic, emotional and epic if he has Ace's fruit and Blackbeard has Whitebeards fruit.

Oda is creative, I don't think this is "it" for Luffy, the chances of him getting Ace's devil fruit is definitely there, we can't deny it, we can't confirm it.

 

[A c e]

Inb4 lufy is holding the mera mera in his hand and laboon swoops out of the water and eats it. Flying whale ftw.

But since law is with lufy (on the island) I think luffy will turn to law to exchange his gun gun fruit with mera mera.

If someone in the straw hats were to eat it though, it would probably be sanji since he already displays fire type moves. And as a bonus, he would be able to cook anything anywhere :P

Now that you mentioned that, I recall Oda being interviewd and saying something like "Can't wait to write the last chapter". Back then I knew he had it all planed (yes, the whole manga series) and the thought of it makes it seem somehow predictable to see Luffy with 2 DF powers... But,
Ah.,
I just can't picture Luffy using both powers; and I thought it was clear that you couldn't eat two DF. Nothing was really ever said about having both powers! (BB might have acquired it some other way - which would explain why he covered himself up along with Whitebeard).

I insist Luffy's going to give it someone worthy of it. Perhaps a new crew member! Isn't it about time?

 

[Faust]

The Fairies will get the Mera Mera Fruit

 

[MBVC]

Since Koby isn't on the island then he can't be the one who will eat this df. The best resolution is that Luffy's stawhat somehow "eats" mera mera and this solves everything since he always keeps his hat close to him, then the pirate flag should be changed into "flaming strawhat"! Isn't it cool for the symbol of the pirate king's flag?

 

[Schabrak]

Nobody has to eat the fruit in this arc or on this island.
We don't know if he's there or not; will be arriving at a later point or not.

A burning strawhat, hmm that doesn't make much sense.^^ As it would be lame to change his pirate flag after being so established, especially after it disregards his rubber ability already.

 

[Kaiten]

Not to be rude or anything, just asking, but wasn't it Vegapunk who originally created the artifical devil fruits and Ceaser did rip off copy this method?
Also it was Vegapunk who discovered the path to make giants, but he abandoned the project out of moral issues?
It's just that to me that it seems like Vegapunk is superior than Ceasar, even in Ceasers own areas of top research, which of all were shown to be continuings of where Vegapunk either stopped for some "other reason" rather than being incable of continueing.

Heck the world government might even have artificial devil fruits as well, after all, we were only told that Vegapunk did stop his reseach on giants, not that he did stop on devil fruits, as far as I remember either way.

No, Vegapunk did not invent artificial devil fruit, and Caesar did not "rip him off". What Caesar did is called applied science. He took a body of theoretical research, and turned it into a practical product. Vegapunk researched how devil fruit work, Caesar created a practical application based on the "lineage factors" discovered by Vegapunk. In science, there is no such thing as "ripping people off". All research is published, for the purpose of verification, to allow other scientists to further study, and build on a body of research. This actual is required within the scientific community. A discovery can not be claimed, a theory can not be proposed, without making the research public. Einstein did not invent gravity, he was building on Newton. Newton did not discover gravity, he was building on Kepler.

I can not recall it ever being said that Vegapunk abandoned research into giants for moral reasons. Could you please link to where this was said? We do know that Caesar is the only person in the world capable of producing SAD, the primary ingredient in Smile. The only known artificial devil fruit made by Vegapunk has been declared a failure. Maybe he has developed working artificial fruit since then. We don't know.

 

[REN KOUEN]

i still think zoro will get the fruit, he is already ridiculously badass, and if he had a logia ability to go with his master swordsmanship

he would be a god

 

[MBVC]

I;m 100% sure that Zoro won't eat the fruit, one of his sword might have a higher probability eating df than its master.

A very high probability that a new member of the SH will have the fruit.

 

[Kaiten]

Why do you think there is a better chance that Caesar implants a devil fruit in one of Zoro's swords, rather than Zoro just eat the fruit himself?

 

[matzik1212]

Zoro with a DF ? .....no thank you , that would freaking ruin all his personality


Luffy FTW

 

[Schabrak]

Real swordsman seemingly favour to not eat a fruit: Zorro, Rayleigh, Shanks, Mihawk, Vista, Shiliew[until now], frowned upon by the Samurai from Wano Kuni. I think it's about their pride not to use a special ability and only rely on their weapon skills and inner power[haki].

 

[MBVC]

First of all, Luffy won't eat mera mera because this is OP not Naruto + Bleach. Luffy won't go bankai like Yammamoto and become as hot as the sun burning everything. What had happened in Naruto would stay in Naruto, please leave OP alone.

Sanji has the highest probability eating mera mera if he is stabbed by a woman or women. Please give up your hopes because Zoro is the least likely candidate eating same as Chopper, Robin, Brook and Franky.

 

[Franckie]

Coby eating it is a possibility since there is a good chance he'll be Admiral-tier one day. I also think Luffy eating it is possible too since Blackbeard demonstrated that wielding two DFs can occur if someone possesses a "unique body". Such an event would also forge a link between the Will of D. and the origin of DFs.

 

[MBVC]

The problem is that it BB has > 1000 df then Luffy must match the # too heh? How about becoming insanely strong as Garp in his prime or Dragon. You are forgetting that BB can have more than 2 df. The last thing I want in OP is for Luffy to have 2,3,4,.........N df. The idea is totally stupid. Beside I don't buy if Luffy with 2 df can defeat BB with >1000 df, mera mera won't help Luffy to become pirate king, I really doubt Luffy with mera mera can defeat all 4 yonkou given Ace got beaten up by WB, BB, Akainu and I truly believe that if Ace fought Garp and Sengoku, then he would had been killed without any doubt since Marco didn't stand a chance against Garp and BB + his crews took a lot of damages from Sengoku attacks.

 

[M3J]

Devil Fruit can heal an injured person? That's news to me.

Ace being beaten by Whitebeard doesn't mean Luffy would be beaten, not like that anyway. You forget both are different in so many ways. Though, Whitebeard would beat Luffy thanks to haki, I'm not doubting that.

 

[MBVC]

You forget Marco df which is the legendary phoenix zoan that has the power to heal.

You can also look at this way WB > BB > Luffy. Either Sengoku or Garp > Luffy and I doubt Luffy with mera mera can fight Hawkeye equally either. I'm very sure Hawkeye can KO Hody with only 1 strike but Luffy seemed like losing half of his life fighting a weakling (compared to NW high standard). Now that think about it, even Law can cut up Hody into pieces.

"Devil Fruit can heal an injured person? That's news to me."

I think by turning his body into fire element, then the bleeding is stopped, no?
