One Piece Reveals Another Secret Behind the Devil Fruit

One Piece’s Devil Fruits have given countless swashbucklers, good and evil, amazing abilities over the history of the Shonen series, and with the long-awaited reveal of Dr. Vegapunk, the mad scientist has been dropping info bombs on Luffy and his crew. Now, following a breakdown of how the Devil Fruits came to be, the big brain has also explored how the power-granting edibles were able to be duplicated along with some other juicy tidbits regarding the major element of the Grand Line.

Warning. If you have yet to read the latest chapter of One Piece’s manga, Chapter 1070, you might want to steer clear as we’ll be diving into serious spoiler territory.

While Vegapunk has been dropping some serious bombshells when it comes to the origins of the Devil Fruit, revealing that the power-enabling edibles gained their powers, and weaknesses, in relation to a goddess of the sea, the scientist also takes the opportunity to explain how the fruit can also be duplicated:

“Only Zoan-type Devil Fruits can be produced artificially. Virtually all fruits of that type, even the special ones, can probably be re-created with vast amounts of money and time, though I haven’t confirmed if they can awaken.”

Vegapunk then continues, discussing the Paramythia types specifically: 

“For Paramythia types, however, I found that as long as you have the user’s bloodline elements, you can synthesize and administer a special kind of blood to confer those powers to others that is liquid running through their arms.”

The Straw Hats who weren’t involved in a life or death battle with Rob Lucci were stunned by this revelation, realizing that the scientist was able to create new blood for subjects, while also touting that the Seraphim represent the “highest echelon of science conceivable” and represent the strongest form of humanity in turn. 

With Vegapunk catching a ride from the Straw Hats and running from the military, the scientist might be set to reveal far more mysteries as the Final Arc continues in One Piece’s pages.
