In the world of One Piece, Devil Fruits are the main source of power for the characters. Chapter 1085 has revealed an interesting fact about these fruits, particularly the Mera Mera no Mi, now owned by Sabo. However, fans of the show are still questioning how the Devil Fruits can resurrect after the death of their first owner. Here’s what we know so far.
Devil Fruits have a unique shape, similar to many fruits, but with a bitter taste. Although they are known to provide powerful abilities to whoever eats them, they also have a mysterious quality: they can reappear even after their first owner dies. For instance, the Mera Mera no Mi originally belonged to Portgas D. Ace, who died during the Marineford War. However, after Ace’s death, Doflamingo held a public battle for the fruit, which was won by Sabo.
But, how can a Devil Fruit resurrect? According to Eiichiro Oda, Devil Fruits are like humans, possessing souls that can migrate. This migration process happens when a fruit that is near the corpse of a Devil Fruit user absorbs the soul, and the new fruit becomes a Devil Fruit. This was demonstrated when Smile accidentally died from gas exposure near an apple, and the apple turned into a Devil Fruit.
Doflamingo gained access to this knowledge from the Mariejoa archives, where he saw how to obtain a Devil Fruit from a dead person. Doflamingo used this knowledge to obtain many Devil Fruits, including the Mera Mera no Mi for Sabo. In addition, Doflamingo taught this method to his family members, which explains why so many of them have Devil Fruit abilities.
But, what happens to the original Devil Fruit after this migration process? Unfortunately, it disappears once the migration is complete. The only way to obtain a Devil Fruit’s power again is to eat a new fruit that has become a Devil Fruit through this process.
In summary, the mystery of the Devil Fruits’ resurrection has been revealed in One Piece, thanks to the creative mind of Eiichiro Oda. These powerful fruits have been a source of fascination for fans, and now we know why they can continue to exist after their original user has died.
