@Fire Fist:
The devil fruits may have something to do with Davy Jones, which is why I'm working on a theory that would explain it all.
Here's what we know of Davy Jones (The One Piece version):
Robin: That's right. The game originated long ago on "Pirate Island,"
the legendary pirate paradise that is said to exist somewhere on the sea…
It was a way to gain a better crew
by simply stealing it from another pirate.
Fact 1: Davy Jones was a legendary pirate on Pirate Island. Maybe the first Pirate King?
Porche: Anyone who fails to abide by these rules will be shamed as a pirate and given to Davy Jones' Locker!!!
Do you swear by these rules?!
Fact 2: His "Locker" is at the bottom of the sea.
Robin: A pirate of old who was cursed by the devil and is supposedly still alive today, at the bottom of the sea.
Chopper: You can live at the bottom of the sea?
Robin: According to the legend... his ship sank, and all of his treasure
lies buried underneath the deck, in his "locker."
Fact 3: Davy Jones ate a devil fruit or was involved in the creation of the devil fruits. Hence, he was "Cursed by the devil".
Fact 4: He's still alive with DF powers, yet can live under the sea.
Fact 5: His ship was a massive treasure ship.
So, it's possible that this Davy Jones created all the devil fruits, and kept most of them to himself. The vast majority of Devil fruits may be in Davy Jones' Locker.
OR…....
He ate the ship ship no mi and sank to the button of the sea
srsly
stop with the bs
