In the captivating universe of One Piece, the exploration of Devil Fruits and their abilities continues to intrigue fans and scholars alike. With the introduction of revolutionary technologies by Dr. Vegapunk, the narrative surrounding these powers is evolving, raising questions about their implications and the future of the One Piece world. This article delves into the intricate details of Devil Fruits, their transmission, and the secrets behind ability hunting, promising to unveil the mysteries that lie within.

The Revolutionary Technology Behind Devil Fruits

In the world of One Piece, the groundbreaking technology that allows for the transmission of Devil Fruit abilities is attributed to the brilliant scientist Dr. Vegapunk. His recent advancements include the elucidation of the conditions required for the transmission of these powers and the innovative technique of feeding objects with Devil Fruits. With Dr. Vegapunk’s appearance in Chapter 1061, the secrets surrounding these abilities are finally poised to be unveiled. This raises the question: how does this relate to the ability-hunting activities of the Blackbeard Pirates?

Conditions for Ability Transmission and New Technology

In Chapter 385, the basic methods of transmitting Devil Fruit abilities were discussed, laying the groundwork for understanding how these powers are conveyed. It appears that the conditions for transmission and the new technology for feeding objects with Devil Fruits are interconnected. Essentially, it has been discovered that if certain conditions are met, the abilities of Devil Fruits can be transmitted to inanimate objects. However, I believe that the discovery of bloodline factors is not directly related to these transmission conditions, although it may play a role in the development of artificial Devil Fruits.

Revival of Devil Fruits

In Chapter 703, during the Dressrosa arc, the explanation of enemy soldiers regarding the basic transmission methods of Devil Fruit abilities was introduced. This serves as a foundational understanding of how these abilities are transmitted. The abilities are essentially the work of ‘devils,’ and Dr. Vegapunk has clarified how these ‘devils’ transmit their powers. It seems that consuming something that harbors a ‘devil’ can grant one the powers of a Devil Fruit user. This is not limited to just Devil Fruits; if a user is consumed, their abilities can also be transmitted, as seen in the case of Big Mom.

Zoan-Type Abilities and Their Will

According to Chapter 1044, Zoan-type fruits possess a will of their own. This is evident in the relationship between the guardian deities of the Alabasta Kingdom and the abilities held by the vice-captains of the Alabasta Royal Guard. The two animals, the Jackal and the Falcon, are the guardians of Alabasta, and their abilities may have repeatedly revived within the kingdom due to their inherent will. This suggests that Zoan-type abilities have a unique connection to their respective locations.

Feeding Objects with Devil Fruits

It seems implausible for inanimate objects like guns or swords to consume Devil Fruits. Perhaps the new technology involves applying the juice of a Devil Fruit to an object. The goal is likely to somehow allow the ‘devil’ to inhabit the object. This may utilize the property that when a user dies, their ‘devil’ can inhabit a fruit. The idea is to create a situation where the ‘devil’ is compelled to inhabit an object, possibly by using a device surrounded by Sea-Prism Stone and filled with seawater, where the ‘devil’ escapes from a dying user into the object.

The Secrets of Ability Hunting

The Blackbeard Pirates possess methods to transmit abilities from Paramecia-type fruits like the Gura Gura no Mi and Suke Suke no Mi. This suggests that their ability hunting techniques are related to the technology for feeding objects with Devil Fruit abilities, albeit based on a different theory. It appears that both Marshall D. Teach and Jesus Burgess can hunt Devil Fruit users, but it is unclear how they achieve this. The Gura Gura no Mi’s power may play a role in this process, allowing them to extract ‘devils’ from deceased users.

Conclusion

As we delve deeper into the mysteries of Devil Fruits and the revolutionary technologies introduced by Dr. Vegapunk, it becomes clear that the implications for the One Piece world are vast. The connections between ability transmission, the will of Zoan-type fruits, and the secrets of ability hunting are all intertwined, leading to exciting possibilities for future developments in the story.
