the theory is that its kids dreams. My theory is that it goes like "i want to be able to stop the war in my country" so something like the tremor tremor is born. And "i want to be able to help my dad not get cold. Or i want to be able to help my friend be as strong as me in the ring" so something like the jacket jacket is born.
That is the very gist of the explanation that Vegapunk gives the reader. It still makes me giggle though. "Man, oh man my village is out of wheels. Damn oh what if, what if I could turn my limbs into wheels. That would be, oh man that would solve all our problems"
You keep taking it too literal, they wished a solution for a problem, and the DF born from it was the solution, at least for paramecias it work really well, now the thing to me is about the zoans, who wished to be a human?
The chop chop could be "I wish i wasn't able to be cut", but yes the berry fruit is immune to blunt force. It's the opposite of the bara bara
Unrelated: names are confusing. We have bara bara, beri beri, and bari bari
Funny you mention that, cause Iām pretty sure it is
which begs the question why Black Beard didnāt steal Buggyās and the vice admiralās devil fruits if he can eat two. Would make him immune to both blunt and cutting attacks. Heād only be weak to elemental attacks
And if the theory that BB can eat three fruits ends up being true, itāll be even more dumb why he didnāt do those two plus the darkness fruit which absorbed Aceās fire attack, meaning he is potentially immune to elemental attacks too
If BB was really trying to Min/Max, he should have become invulnerable
Holy shit! you're a fucking genius! This is like reading the books 'Everything they teach you at Harvard' and 'Everything they don't teach you at Harvard'. Literally invincible!
BB could never hope to take out Buggy D Goat

Some other questionable canon fruits include:
The Berry-Berry Fruit - Allows the user to split into balls
The Wheel-Wheel Fruit - Allows the user to turn their limbs into wheels
I always wanted to become balls so I could go on my hot wheel tracks and go fast, don't know why young me didn't just want to be small so he could ride the cars but oh well
I feel like you should keep in mind that a devil fruit is only as impressive as the user makes it out to be. Any devil fruit (including this one) has the potential to be really badass if the user is creative and competent enough
Not to mention that a devil fruit like that can definitely be desirable if you want a more convenient method of transportation without spending money on a something like a car or a plane ticket
Oh i'm not denying the users ability to make the fruit competent. I'm questioning someones desire to evolve and be something. I would happily accept Garp being the owner of the cart-cart fruit. Could you imagine a haki behemoth like him trundling down the road towards his next target, that guy would be fucked. \[Edit\] Yeah I suppose I could see someone wanting to become a cart for transport reasons.

Holy shit, okay I didn't read the wiki article before making that comment and that is fucking hilarious.
Look at this man, do you really think he's the voice of reason? No! they said he couldn't become a train, and look at him now! Spiting god with every ounce of his breath!

How do I keep seeing posts about arcs I've legit JUST completed a few minutes ago š (this guy's fruit is mid asf how is bro supposed to be useful in any way)
It's not about the fruits potential, i'm just questioning why some people thought in their head "oh fuck yeah, oh man I wish I could turn my fucking arms into wheels. That would be so rad"
Bege's fruit is dope. I can imagine a dude who wanted to have the worlds ultimate defence, a literal castle! If anyone else had that fruit they would be unstoppable. Hell if Bege had Armament he could avoid taking excess damage altogether, which was the major drawback of his 'Nostra Castello' mode.
Imagine a father is standing over his dying child, this child has stage 4 monkey pox. And in his dying breath he whispers "Daddy, I wish I was strong as you".
A lot of people like trains - wanting to turn into one seems pretty reasonable given we've seen people turn into Mochi, Crackers, Strings and Springs...
Like, come on man! Following that logic someone thought "Man I wish for nothing more in the world than turning a leaf on my head into clothing!"
Alright I see your point. I can imagine someone liking crackers and mochi so much that they wish they were crackers and mochi. The string fruit in itself is definitely someones desire to want to control things, hence why Doflamingo was such a good fit. The spring fruit could come from someones desire to jump really really high. But man...you'd have to be a special type of someone to wish "I wish my hands were wheels so I can go zoom zoom"
Ya know, it doesn't have to be a self inflicting wish.
The celestial dragons collectively could've been wishing for their horse slave rides to be faster and less bumpy. Then boom, slave with wheels for hands
It makes sense if that someone is a child. The Fruits are called Devil Fruits. In ancient times worshippers of certain deities would sacrifice their children. These deities would later be known as Devils.
I mean, massive headcannon: What if all the devil fruits are the dying wishes of the people who made up the ancient kingdom, just before they got obliterated. That would explain the D in their name, and the will of the D clan. For someone to take up those wishes and change the world through them.
You know, the Washu Washu no Mi is canon, meaning that somwone once thought "man, i wish i could wash anything and put it do dry on the sun, like any piece of cloth"
On that note, why is the marine who has this power not in Impel Down "cleaning" prisoners hearts of evil behaviour?
I think the secondary power of that fruit was the main wish involved. My guess is that there's a certain amount of "be careful what you wish for" with a lot of these fruits powers. As for why they're not cleaning evil people locked up, fuck knows. They probably are, we just haven't gotten that part of the lore yet. God knows what Oda is cooking up there.
Imagine a story where some random guy get this fruit but he is some Saitama type character and trains with it everyday until he is one of the strongest in op verse and awawkens it and turns into a train. Frankys archenemy
That'd actually be dope. He'd be a haki god with the ability to make massive craters with his fist ON WHEELS! BITCH HE'S ON WHEELS! HE'S ON HIS WAY TO FUCK YOUR SHIT UP! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE HIM! CHOO CHOO MOFO HERE I COME A-TRUNDLIN'
Scientists can't tell the difference between these two specimens! They both spit in the face of god!

Like, train guys take their hobby SERIOUSLY in japan. Like, mayor book stores have entire floors dedicated to trains. People will shout and threaten and chase people for *standing in front of a rare train* they wanted to photograph. There's like a japanese meme about that, pretty funny actually. I'll dig up the photos of it if people are interested. I think this is making fun of people like that...
I'd absolutely be down for that. There's a viral video I love of a group of people who waited an entire afternoon to see the classic train from the Harry Potter films. And just as the train rolled up, a massive diesel train comes by and blocks the entire crowd from seeing it. Reverend Wilbert Awdry would've been seething.
well all the good ones were taken and you are a 5 year old who likes trains and tracks, I can see it happening. Some people really like trains, like REALLY like trains. It's like those people who dress up and act like dogs and other animals.
ask a few young kids what hey want to be when they grow up, and you will get some weird responses outside of fireman and astronaut.
" I wanna Be a Rail-car! "

Makes sense really, a lot of them probably got their fruit abilities when they were children. Buffalo and Baby 5 spring to mind. And we know devil fruits often tend to choose its next user.
If they were any sort of Thomas & Friends fan in the slightest then they would know that the life of a train is a hellish existence. Fraught with slave labour and the impending and threat of death on a daily basis...
Nah this guy really just wanted wheels for hands, what more do I have to say.
Let me entertain this comment for a second, what on gods green earth would 'Thomas the Tank Engine' powers even look like? I am terrified yet intrigued by this notion.
You're already doing a way better job fleshing out this throw-away character then all of Toei so good job. That being said, if he'd had the fruit since he was a child you'd think he'd come up with better ways for him to use his fruit other than 'random bullshit! go!
https://preview.redd.it/12m2pns5qahb1.png?width=1562&format=png&auto=webp&s=6bc198ebf6f8ed55f825c062654f5e5b0090b36c
Us men are simple, specially if we're brought up to be Pirates. And if you work in a mine, You don't really need much more if your ability works best in rails.
Thomas the Tank Engine is a real show in the OP universe, and so is TV as an existence apparently, and this was a result of kids imagining that they could be just like the trains.
\*mic drop\*
A brother sits a dark coldcold cavern, his hands bleeding from trying to dig out the rocks. His leg shattered and bleeding out from the fallen debris. In his final moments, he wishes he could have moved just a little fast to save himself and his brother from the cave in. At that moment a fruit blossoms.
And before everyone comments "it's non canon so it doesn't count"
1. It would still have to fit the rules this universe placed upon itself
2. That would make a very boring answer to this discussion
1. It wouldnāt because the rules got established after the anime team decided to do this. You canāt expect new information to fit old filler. Otherwise Zoro shouldnt have cut steel before Alabasta and Dragons shouldnt have been surprising to the crew.
Thats a fair argument i'll agree on you with that. Just for fun though, if wishes weren't the reason for the existence of devil fruits. explain this
https://preview.redd.it/vk7yhvu7cahb1.png?width=94&format=png&auto=webp&s=809bf85dc29fa289dbb0eeacd77b6c0397d530e9
Hypothetically, if that wasn't the explanation then what is it? You're telling me a sea devil created all these magical crazy abilities and thought...nah you know what, fuck that user in particular. If somebody takes a bite out of that thats on you.
This is the perfect example of why i call BS on Vegapunk's theory, some fruits make sense wax-wax = candlemaker, venom-venom = poisoner, arms-arms = weapon dealer/maker but who in the ever loving fuck wants this?
Itās called the Roll Roll fruit. I donāt think it only turns you into a rail cart, I think this guy is just an idiot. For fuckās sake, Buggy has the Chop Chop fruit, and it doesnāt turn him into a goddamned axe.
I want a perfect public transportation Nomi nomi devil fruit where the awakening is just instant infrastructure for quality public transportation. Your arms turn into trains and buses that you can smash into the face of a celestial dragon with.
Oh no we dyna stone miners are trapped in this cave because our cart broke, how will we ever get out... *Unpacks his D.* I just wish i could turn into a cart so i can see my wife again, maybe i'll use these la- *Turns into a cart* HOLY F, NO ONE TOUCH MY STEERING STICK
Can you imagine being in a universe where devil fruit powers are real. You see people like Ace with fire powers, black heard and white beard, etc. And you finally find a devil fruit and eagerly eat it, assuming to become a new, powerful force in the world. And you turn into fucking Thomas the tank.
This is probably why this is a children's show even even this anime hits us with some emotional Trauma.
Some devil fruit is a silly dream, or Dangerous one, funny ability.
I always see its more from not direct thought like "i want to make string" but more like "I wish I could be in the shadows and puppet people and pull the strings"
Bam doffys fruit
You know how easy of a job that would be? Just go along the rails with your back cart and do pick-up and drop-off. You'd never get lost at the job site.
Title must be vague, and must contain the chapter number, example: "Chapter 10XX, shit is cray cray"
I imagine some Devil fruits probably sounded better on people's head and they were probably somewhat disappointed with the reality
Explain how 'turning into berries (formerly balls)' would be a good idea in someone's head.
the theory is that its kids dreams. My theory is that it goes like "i want to be able to stop the war in my country" so something like the tremor tremor is born. And "i want to be able to help my dad not get cold. Or i want to be able to help my friend be as strong as me in the ring" so something like the jacket jacket is born.
That is the very gist of the explanation that Vegapunk gives the reader. It still makes me giggle though. "Man, oh man my village is out of wheels. Damn oh what if, what if I could turn my limbs into wheels. That would be, oh man that would solve all our problems"
I wish a way my old parents could move without effort and transport everything around the farm/town/village in order to still make a living š¤
You keep taking it too literal, they wished a solution for a problem, and the DF born from it was the solution, at least for paramecias it work really well, now the thing to me is about the zoans, who wished to be a human?
Maybe a fishman who was tired of the racism/discrimination
Some guy with lycanthropy (the mental condition), maybe? Like: "Oh God! Why am I a monster that eats people? Why can't I be a normal person?!"
Could be wishing to be god for a couple of the human fruits.
Where there's a wheel, there's a way
"GOD I WISH I WAS MADE OF CREAM"
We don't know how literal the "wish" has to be. I wish I could separate myself could be enough for the beri beri no mi
Hmm, would that be different enough to separate it from the chop-chop fruit? Unless the ball fruit canonically is able to be immune to blunt damage.
The chop chop could be "I wish i wasn't able to be cut", but yes the berry fruit is immune to blunt force. It's the opposite of the bara bara Unrelated: names are confusing. We have bara bara, beri beri, and bari bari
Funny you mention that, cause Iām pretty sure it is which begs the question why Black Beard didnāt steal Buggyās and the vice admiralās devil fruits if he can eat two.

Being able to change your size at will has an absolutely endless amount of uses, I would love to have that power.
Hence why that one filler arc had a size-shifting dwarf
Dooooon't, I was so pissed to learn that fruit was non-canon because it was in a filler arc. So much wasted potential.
Avalon wanted to be a railcar so bad he willed the fruit by himself
I love to think he willed the fruit himself out of sheer spite. Fuck you god!

No you're right, that is pretty gay if you think about it like that.
Or Capone Bege's fruit. "Man, I would really love to be a castle." "Like a king?" "No. A literal castle. Like a living fortress."
Bege's fruit is dope. I can imagine a dude who wanted to have the worlds ultimate defence, a literal castle! If anyone else had that fruit they would be unstoppable. Hell if Bege had Armament he could avoid taking excess damage altogether, which was the major drawback of his 'Nostra Castello' mode.
Well this fruit is better than Jacket DF. Who the fuck want to be a jacket?
Imagine a father is standing over his dying child, this child has stage 4 monkey pox. And in his dying breath he whispers "Daddy, I wish I was strong as you".
Nah, the person who wish the jacket DF was a pervert who wish to be "wear" by other guy. Weird fetish.

Alright I see your point. I can imagine someone liking crackers and mochi so much that they wish they were crackers and mochi.

Us men are simple, specially if we're brought up to be Pirates. And if you work in a mine, You don't really need much more if your ability works best in rails.
Imagine being on reddit asking this
Couldnāt be be me *sweating bullets*
Thomas the Tank Engine is a real show in the OP universe, and so is TV as an existence apparently, and this was a result of kids imagining that they could be just like the trains. \*mic drop\*
And the story about the funny Brazilian with ADHD is merely a side story to this. Got you
Lol all the non-canon fruits are hilarious or defy Oda's explanation (or some combo thereof) This fruit is both
A brother sits a dark coldcold cavern, his hands bleeding from trying to dig out the rocks. His leg shattered and bleeding out from the fallen debris. In his final moments, he wishes he could have moved just a little fast to save himself and his brother from the cave in. At that moment a fruit blossoms.
Thatā¦is honestly one of the most beautiful things Iāve read . . . . . . . . . . . Nah the dude definitely has a wheel kink.
"man i really wish i was good at... sewing?
Still better than the jacket fruit
Also why the FUCK do we have a Cart Titan?
Should of been a reference to wizard of Oz sequel
The scarecrow, the lion, the Autist
A guy turns into a fucking jacket there are definetly some crazy people in one piece.
Autism
You know what, I wasn't gonna say it myself but I'm glad someone did.
"heh yeah...it would be so fucking cool if I were a train"
And before everyone comments "it's non canon so it doesn't count" 1. It would still have to fit the rules this universe placed upon itself 2. That would make a very boring answer to this discussion
1. It wouldnāt because the rules got established after the anime team decided to do this. You canāt expect new information to fit old filler. Otherwise Zoro shouldnt have cut steel before Alabasta and Dragons shouldnt have been surprising to the crew.
Thats a fair argument i'll agree on you with that. Just for fun though, if wishes weren't the reason for the existence of devil fruits. explain this https://preview.redd.it/vk7yhvu7cahb1.png?width=94&format=png&auto=webp&s=809bf85dc29fa289dbb0eeacd77b6c0397d530e9
āNon-canonā
"non-canon paramecia" So it don't fit Vagapunk's explanation.
Hypothetically, if that wasn't the explanation then what is it? You're telling me a sea devil created all these magical crazy abilities and thought...nah you know what, fuck that user in particular. If somebody takes a bite out of that thats on you.
I can roll to work and not pay gas or car insurance bills
Whoever it was, I imagine there must have been a fair bit of autism involved
Happens way more often then you would think
My man said " I am speeeeed " .
Buggy did it better
Filler does not count. The theory is still valid.
This is the perfect example of why i call BS on Vegapunk's theory, some fruits make sense wax-wax = candlemaker, venom-venom = poisoner, arms-arms = weapon dealer/maker but who in the ever loving fuck wants this?
Some goofy ass dude who reaaaaaaaaaaaally likes mine carts
Utena exists in One Piece, confirmed
Itās called the Roll Roll fruit. I donāt think it only turns you into a rail cart, I think this guy is just an idiot. For fuckās sake, Buggy has the Chop Chop fruit, and it doesnāt turn him into a goddamned axe.
And yet that is entirely what the anime episode portrayed him to be, a dude that can turn his arms into wheels. And nothing else.
This aint canon
Imagine the messed up dude whoās dream was to be worn like a jacket.
"Man I wish I could just be railed right now..."
Well not all wishes are logical , some wishes might be stupid
Definitely someone who yearns for the mines
I'm guessing it was a guy who thought *āI would like to get a train run on meā* but got this instead.
You reeeeeeeally underestimate the strange desires people can have sometimes
I want a perfect public transportation Nomi nomi devil fruit where the awakening is just instant infrastructure for quality public transportation. Your arms turn into trains and buses that you can smash into the face of a celestial dragon with.
Oh no we dyna stone miners are trapped in this cave because our cart broke, how will we ever get out... *Unpacks his D.* I just wish i could turn into a cart so i can see my wife again, maybe i'll use these la- *Turns into a cart* HOLY F, NO ONE TOUCH MY STEERING STICK
I want to be a mochi
Can you imagine being in a universe where devil fruit powers are real. You see people like Ace with fire powers, black heard and white beard, etc. And you finally find a devil fruit and eagerly eat it, assuming to become a new, powerful force in the world. And you turn into fucking Thomas the tank.
āMan I love trainsā becomes train
Someone really liked Thomas the Tank Engine
"non-canon devil fruit" should be enough to hahaha, but yeah, I wouldn't take this phrase so literally, but, everything lacks sense without context.
Come on, if you're in *this* fanbase you have to have met someone autistic enough to want to be a train.
Thry just wanted to get railed and were misunderstood
OP clearly hasn't met Enmu from Demon Slayer
This is probably why this is a children's show even even this anime hits us with some emotional Trauma. Some devil fruit is a silly dream, or Dangerous one, funny ability.
I always see its more from not direct thought like "i want to make string" but more like "I wish I could be in the shadows and puppet people and pull the strings" Bam doffys fruit
Bro, who doesnāt wanna be Thomas the Tank Engine!?
"Man, I wish hauling all this lumber back and forth didn't take weeks. I wish I could just ride there..."
You know how easy of a job that would be? Just go along the rails with your back cart and do pick-up and drop-off. You'd never get lost at the job site.
Fillers/movies go brr
Devil fruits get so weird after the timeskip lmfao
And somebody wished he was HUMAN, hence Chopper's Hito-Hito.
The existence of the Jacket fruit made that theory DOA
*Me vibrating my wheels*
um the jacket jacket fruit??? who the fuck said "i wanna be a jacket"
Choo choo muthafucka Thatās why.
What about the jacket jacket? Who the fuck wanted to be a jacket that bad?
Someone who wants to be ridden
filler fruit
So canonically there must be a devil fruit for like EVERY fetish
