Chapter 352: Eating the Fruit and Not Afraid of Water

One Piece is not afraid of water after eating the fruit? These 5 people with special abilities can still use their abilities in water

One Piece has been serialized for a long time, so there are many places where it is difficult to justify itself. The devil fruit ability is the main attraction of One Piece, even if it is domineering in the later period.

The setting of the devil fruit is still not inferior. First of all, from the setting we know that the devil fruit ability user will lose its effectiveness after encountering sea water, and this devil obviously cannot swim, so the fruit ability user can only wait to die after falling into the water.

But there are always surprises, and there are actually many controversies about the specific setting of water. Today we will talk about those who are not afraid of water.

Everyone knows this, because Brook is just a skeleton. Even if a human weighing more than 100 kilograms becomes a skeleton, his weight will become less than 10KG.

This is why even after eating the fruit, Brook can still run wildly on the sea without fear of the sea water. As long as you run fast enough, the effect of the sea water will be smaller.

Aokiji is a typical example of a special fruit that was thrown into the sea by Whitebeard but did not fall into the water. He had already used his fruit ability before falling into the water and used ice to prevent himself from falling into the water.

Aokiji's natural fruit ability is so powerful that as long as he falls into the water consciously, he can use the fruit ability to save his life. And the ice fruit is quite special. It can freeze the water surface. If Akainu falls into the water, there is no way

A rather unexpected fruit ability user. After falling into the water, the sea water only blocked his ability to move, but he was able to breathe freely. After all, he was a fishman, an amphibious animal. If he was underwater, he could breathe with his gills, and if he was above water, he would switch to breathing with his lungs.

Fishmen generally don't eat devil fruits because in their opinion, the sea is their home, and being abandoned by the sea is probably as sad as a bird that can't fly!

Big Mom's son Owen, the user of the Heat-Hot Fruit. The original creator of the animation once created a user of the Heat-Hot Fruit during Oda's hiatus in order to make up the number of episodes each week. At that time, the users of the fruit could take a bath in lava without any effect. But later Oda slapped himself in the face and created a user of the Heat-Hot Fruit who radiated a lot of heat.

Not only that, when chasing the Straw Hat Pirates, Owen reached his hands into the water. At this time, Owen was still able to make his fruit ability take effect, and the sea area within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of meters turned into boiling water.

If Aokiji's fruit ability is that he creates an extra piece of ice outside his body to avoid the erosion of sea water, but Owen actually put his hand into the sea water and was still able to use his ability, this creates a paradox: will the user of the fruit ability lose the effect when entering the sea water?

Luffy gave a perfect answer. When he fought against Arlong, he was sent to the bottom of the sea by Arlong. At this time, Nami's sister went down and rescued Luffy's "head". She stretched Luffy's neck very long and finally brought him out of the water. This means that even if the ability user loses the ability to move in the sea water, the ability itself will not become invalid, but the fruit ability at this time generally changes from active triggering to passive triggering.

Of course, many people are still struggling with whether it is sea water or fresh water that can restrict people with special abilities. This was actually revealed when Luffy and his friends were taking a bath.

When Luffy was a kid, he and Ace were bathing together. Ace and Sabo were playing in the bucket, while Luffy was the only one wiping his body with a towel. This shows that no matter whether it is fresh water or sea water, as long as it is water, the ability user will be restricted.

The setting of the Devil Fruit is that people who eat the Devil Fruit will be disgusted by the sea. In a broad sense, all water in the world is water in the sea, and all water is part of the sea. For Devil Fruit holders, there is no distinction between fresh water and sea water.

The evidence is that when Brook and Luffy were taking a bath, they were exhausted. The bath water can't be sea water, so fresh water is also the nemesis of the devil fruit ability user.

So the question is, since fresh water can also restrain Devil Fruit users, then isn't rainy days very bad for them? Not really, a small amount of water cannot suppress their abilities, only water that exceeds a certain limit can make the ability users collapse. The limit of whether or not it can have an impact on Devil Fruit users should be these two points:

Can it submerge most of the body?

The length of time your body is in contact with water

Therefore, it is extremely dangerous for a Devil Fruit user to fall completely into the sea, because they will immediately become weak and unable to move, and eventually drown.

The sea is not poison to the devil fruit, it just seals the ability and makes it immobile. This is why Luffy and Big Mom fell into the sea one after another and were still washed onto the beach by the waves.

And so far, I have never heard of any special ability user drowning in the sea. Kaido is said to be immortal and a devil fruit user. If there are fans, they will imagine that Kaido wants to die, so jumping into the sea is not the best option. Why would he need to go through so much trouble? But in fact, if he jumps into the sea, he will only become exhausted, but will not die. He will be unable to move in the sea forever until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble.

In order to prove that the above statement is not my subjective conjecture, the following two pieces of evidence are given to support my point of view.

When they first entered the Mermaid Island, Robin once said: Although we are in the sea, it is only for a moment, there should be no problem. This shows that it takes time for the Devil Fruit ability to be sealed by water, and it is not an instantaneous effect.

But in One Piece, we found a person who is also a devil fruit user but is not afraid of water, and can even touch water without any problem. This person is Aokiji, who can fight with the admiral of the navy for three days and three nights. So why is Aokiji, a devil fruit user, not afraid of water? Is it because he is a water user or because he has the ability of the ice fruit?

In fact, in the anime One Piece, there are many explanations for the setting that users with special abilities are afraid of water. Devil fruits are afraid of water, but that doesn't mean they can't touch water at all. There is a limit to touching water. Oda mentioned it on SBS. The limit is half of the body. If more than half of the body is touched by water, the user will become powerless and lose the strength to release their abilities, just like when Luffy and others are taking a bath.

However, if it is below the waist, such as when it rains, it will not affect the use of the ability, and Aokiji just put his hand into the sea, so he can release the ability to freeze the sea. So if the Devil Fruit ability user wants to take a shower, it is best to take a shower instead of a bath to avoid losing the strength to release the ability.

Some people don't know the details very well. Devil Fruit users are not only afraid of sea water, but also fresh water. Oda also mentioned this in SBS. The concept of being afraid of the sea also refers to the sea in the sense of the earth. As long as the amount of water is large, even fresh water will be considered as the sea, and the limit of this amount of water is half of the body.
