@Horizon:
You can't eat more than one, artificial or not.
That's appliable only to real devil fruit. If you insist, however, all you have to do is provide evidence corroborating this claim.
@King:
But Sheepshead does not have this problem as he was able to transform at will, and he is part of the Gifters division.
There is nothing indicating that he is part of the Gifters. He wasn’t shown among them when Jack was ordering them to attack.
@King:
And then you have the guy with bull horns coming of his shoulders
Could be just artificial horns stuck to the shoulders of his coat. Jack had artificial horns stuck to the shoulders of his coat, so it’s not something far-fetched.
@King:
Also, other oddities such as the crab guy only having one pincer-turned arm instead of both.
There are fiddler crabs, like Uca Pugnax, that have pincers of different sizes.
!
@King:
And of course, Sheepshead arm horns.
Back at Alabasta, Pell was transforming his hands into bird feet.
!
!
So why would it be strange for Sheepshead to transform his arms into sheep’s horns? If one can make his hand bird feet, then another can make his hands sheep's horns.
I agree that he might be a Smile user, but it is not because of the reasons provided.
@King:
The minks themselves pointed that there were wrong things with the bodies of the Gifters.
Yes, of course. That’s another thing that indicates they are Smile users. To the minks, that was a sight they have never seen because they are abnormal devil fruit users.
@King:
The incomplete SMILEs seem to be useless though, as the guy literally kicks them away. That's not something you do with potential merchandise if it actually had any value.
I agree that that's the impression that issues from that panel.
The dwarves have been working under Doflamingo for many years, so they should know from their observations and experiences the correct agricultural protocol. In other words, they should be able to differentiate between desirable and undesirable Smile fruits and what to do with each of them, since they would have learned from their past experiences that incomplete Smiles are undesirable(assuming they are), and should be then treated as such.
Desirable (complete) Smile fruits are put in the Smile cart, whereas the undesirable (incomplete) are to be discarded. However, the dwarves were putting incomplete Smiles in Smile carts instead of bagging them and discarding them, although they could have been trying to discard them by putting them in a Smile cart. However, that is an unreasonably unordered way of doing things. For instance, you don’t put garbage in a cart that is not made for garbage. Or you don’t pour & drink lemon juice in a coffee cup. The act of doing so shows a disorder in the habits of the individual. There should be no reason for the auhor to use this chaotic approach in his work.
Besides, and this is the more important issue here, why in the world would that part of the story be dedicated to telling us about defective Smiles if they will not play any role in the future events of the story? That’s just a waste of panels that is untypical of a professional writer as Oda-sensei.
@King:
She could have asked Law to modify her own body for the same argument you brought up: Scouting.
So she came to Law and told him to operate on her by completely removing her totally functional arms and feet permanently, throwing them in the garbage bin to decompose, and replacing them with those of birds because she desires to scout the island.
Do you really believe this scenario? I don’t.
@King:
Harpy Monet being a byproduct of Law is ["]indirectly confirmed by Usopp](http://[QUOTE=Australopithecus;3561965).
That indigo line does not work as a link(assuming that’s what it is). So this is just a claim without any premise corroborating it.
@King:
Also, a bird's tail is aerodinamically important for a bird during flight, being used for balance and stability. If anything, it's not even random like the satyrs' horns.
That’s appliable only to birds. Birds, despite being bipedal, have an entirely different anatomy than humans.
Back at the war, Marco did not need either ‘bird feet’ or a ‘bird tail’ to help him fly.
!
!
The only time he needed his birdy feet in that form was to attack Akainu.
!
Even then, he did not have a bird tail.
When Robin uses her ability to fly, she never uses either a bird tail or bird feet.
!
!
If Law did indeed use his ability on her, it is sufficient that she changes only her arms for the advantage of flight since it is a totally functional and efficient method of flying, as proven by the pictorial evidences above.
It makes zero sense to discard permanently her feet and add a tail to her lumbar region when they’re absolutely unneeded. It doesn’t add up and I am sure you realize that by now.
@King:
That's from the unnoficial digitally-colored manga. She doesn't have that fade-in effect in the black & white comic.
Well, they are not ‘fan-made’. That’s for sure. I kind of fail to understand what you mean by ‘unofficial’. If official means it is directly coloured by the author, then yes, they’re not coloured by the author, but they must be approved by the author himself, and he most likely gives his opinion on how things have to be. Otherwise, it would be an infringement of copyright, which is not.
The feathers that cover her abdomen are definitely not a mistake.
!
They are in both the coloured version and the black-and-white version of the manga.
The mistakes that happen in the weekly black-and-white version of the comic are fixed in both the coloured and black-and-white, volume version of the manga. As proof of this, take a look at this:
!
Luffy’s beard was not drawn when he was about to punch Hajrudin. However, it was fixed in the coloured version.
Because of this, the drawing that Monet had feathers covering her abdomen in definitely not a mistake. The author did not change his mind about that.
In fact, that wasn’t the only time she had feathers growing out from her abdomen.
!
It couldn’t be Law’s ability that resulted in Monet being the way she is.
@King:
In fact, I think she was wearing something to hold her Den Den Mushi. Could be a sash.
No, that’s a belt worn around her waist. And as you can see, her waist is covered with feathers.
@King:
EDIT: Yes, it's some sort of feathery skirt. You can see it being worn around her… thong-tights, which discards it being part of her body .
No, that’s her bird tail. When she sits on it, it becomes like that. Besides, what kind a skirt completely exposes the girl’s thighs, crotch, and every part of her pelvic region? Better not wear then. And when she was flying, she had her entire abdomen with feathers. Don’t tell me that was the feathered skirt as well. That would be nonsensical to wear a skirt that extends all the way up to her ribs.
@Sereques:
Monet did not eat Smile. Smile is a zoan DF and does not give Logia powers.
She has both a Smile & a genuine logia devil fruit.
@kdchronos:
We assumed that Monet has a Logia DF because is that what Oda told us by the events happening in the Manga, but is not way of confirm, because Monet never stated those liek ture, maybe the Yuki Yuki no mi could be a Mystical Zoan, or a Mystical Smile Zoan (a Yukiona transformation) but she was given the DF when she joined to Donquixote Family, Oda said it in SBS vol 77
The Snow Snow (Yuki Yuki in Japanese) is no mythical zoan.
