So in the latest chapter, Doflamingo was revealed to possess Ace's fruit. Since it immediately became a hot topic, I decided to create this thread. That way there's room for other discussion in the chapter threads.
Share your thoughts on what will happen to the fruit. Will someone in the crew eat it? There's also a poll, so we can see what the general opinion is.
!
Waiting for the pole to come up so I can vote for the most logical and rational answer
LA LA LAAAAAA. LA LA LA LA!(-Dearly Beloved)
I see:
–Luffy keeping the Mera Mera no Mi stashed away somewhere safe on the Thousand Sunny.
--A GREAT amount of time will pass (like Luffy will become the Pirate King, and defeat Fleet Admiral Akainu time pass).
--During the final scenes of the series, a kid who looks up to Luffy will "accidentally" eat the Mera Mera no Mi, and Luffy and crew will have the same reaction Shanks and crew had when Luffy ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi.
--This will be a passing of the torch, of sorts. To the next generation. (Heck... Maybe the Gomu Gomu no Mi belonged to the brother/step-brother of Gol D. Roger, and he kept it safe after his brother/step-brother died early similar to Ace). (Maybe, just maybe, if the Strawhat's acquire a Cabin Boy, he will be there instead of Luffy (if Luffy dies) when the kid eats it).

Oda… I pray... please... don't ever let this come true.. Please… Oda please.... just... please

Luffy is gonna keep it until it becomes important in the Blackbeard arc
Oda… I pray... please... don't ever let this come ture.. Please… Oda please.... just... please
Hey. It's a good idea. Better than 80% of the other garbage ("ROFLMAO!!!1!!!! LUFFY GONNA EAT!!!!!1!!") that pass as theories on the subject of the Mera Mera no Mi.
It actually makes sense, and goes with the "Passing of the Generation" theme One Piece has.

Why, there are far worse scenarios in my opinion, for example Luffy accidentally eating it.
My opinion is like this image (sorry i'm not good at editing :P)

Why do people want Coby to eat the fruit so much?
LA LA LAAAAAA. LA LA LA LA!(-Dearly Beloved)
Luffy will care for the DF, fight for it and WILL NOT eat it
Why do people want Coby to eat the fruit so much?
They don´t want to see an asspull regarding Coby becoming an Admiral in the current story timeline. Nothing he has learned in the 2 years would justify such a jump, not even towards the end of the series, so they want him to get a nice powerup with the fruit.
I have the opinion that Coby will not become Admiral without a timeskip anyway.
I picked "It will not be eaten and will be kept on the Sunny as a keepsake because this is the option that makes the most sense. No way in hell anyone will eat this fruit that loves and respects Luffy"
Yea. That's the option I voted for
LA LA LAAAAAA. LA LA LA LA!(-Dearly Beloved)
Luffy will defeat Doflamingo by shoving it down his throat.

I guess it's the admiral thing? We'll see if the logia theme continues with Fujitora…
I feel like the only one who doesn't care about the mera mera no mi…

Because you don't care about it, you'd be the perfect person to eat it.
"Thee that showest thee smallest of idol worhsip deserveth the Mera Mera; for thee heart is not corrupted nor tainted"
Odathessians 2 Verse 45
I think the last option could've been in two parts. Would be more interesting who thinks it will be eaten and who thinks something completely different. Those two don't really have anything to do with each other.
I feel like the only one who doesn't care about the mera mera no mi…
You´re not the only one, the twist at the end wasn´t one for me to be honest. I was much more excited about Jinbe, Bonney, Crocodile, the Kidd alliance and Akainu appearing
Jack… I really wish you had made this poll public

Good idea, so we could laugh at those who are wrong. :ninja:

Oh well. It's too late now…
Diamante will eat it
No one in the crew will eat it.
A new crew mate might eat it.
It will proably be kept as a momento of Ace.
Coby will not eat it.
Other: My idea that will most likely not happen
It'd be pretty funny/awesome if Diamante tries to pit Kinemon and Kanjuro in a fight to death or something, but in the end they both kick his ass and Kinemon see's the Mera Mera fruit and comments on it looking similar to the fruit he ate and tells Kanjuro to eat it. Doffy's plan would blow up in his face and Luffy wouldn't even see the fruit, he'd just want Kanjuro to join the crew cause' of his awesome ability.
Someone else will eat it…I just don't know who yet...

100% this and hey by that logic a logia makes you auto admiral level… And Coby fir sure is THAT important to Luffy after all.
Glad to see someone else with the same opinion not blended by his "awesome" feats
PS
Voted for keepsake ad I wouldn't like it being used at any SH and can't see it simply used by anyone else
Sabo will eat it.
I feel like the only one who doesn't care about the mera mera no mi…
Your existence in this thread is proof enough that you do care about the Mera Mera no Mi. Otherwise, you wouldn't be posting in this thread.
In any case, I'm neutral on this. Whatever happens to it, I'm good with it. Though, I like the concept of slapping the mera mera no mi onto each of the straw hats.
Well i have already stated my opinion a couple of times but let make it one more time, more "official" xD
I see 3 things about it
So i voted the 3d option
I think no matter what happens with it, it will play a big role in the next arc. So no stowing away until… The thing I would like the most is a new crew-member eating it because that would mean finally having all crew members aboard.
The new member would have to be somebody they meet at Dressrosa but most likely not Kanjuro because the samurai of Wano seem like Vivi. Staying until they arrive at their homeland.
Or another possibility is that the fruit is destroyed during the fights on Dressrosa.
Why do people want Coby to eat the fruit so much?
Probably because he wants to be an admiral and they seem to be Logia exclusive.
I'd be kind of curious if they could plant the fruit. Grow little flamey trees.
I definitely oppose anybody eating the fruit in real-time, especially Coby.
Keeping the fruit as a momento sounds nice, but I wager with the way this arc is being set up, the hunt to acquire it would be perilious and dangerous. Almost being more trouble than it's worth?
So I picked the other option…..specfically, I'd like the fruit to be buried with Ace.
I already know that nobody in the crew will eat the fruit. That's for sure.
Luffy will defeat Doflamingo by shoving it down his throat.
^This! Luffy will force Dofy to eat it and then he will explode from eating two fruits! lol
Why isn't "Luffy ain't gonna give a flying fuck" one of the the options?
If only just for the sake of being there.
STOP RIGHT THERE.
Remember Madame Shirley's prediction?

Okay? I was just trying to help. Surprised nobody pointed out that scene.
I bet it gets lost or thrown into the sea so no one gets the power
It would be nice if the stalker crab gets to eat the food
Luffy will keep it and eat if after his first fight (and loss) vs Blackbeard. BB will win, steal the Gomu gomu no mi and spare Luffy while mocking him. Luffy will then eat the Mera mera no mi and come back carrying his brother's will like it was foretold in Whitebeard's dying speech
plausible? 
Why can't Luffy just put it on Ace's grave at the end of Dof arc? I think that'd be such a sweet emotional way to end the arc and would show real growth on Luffy's part.
Luffy fan.
LuffyxHancock or LuffyxNami? I can't decide.
I went with - "It will be kept on the Thousand Sunny as a memento of Ace. I don't want to see anyone eating Ace's fruit simple as that. Maybe it's because he is my favourite character and I'm used to seeing this power be used by him, but I just don't want anyone else having it. ESPECIALLY Coby! I may get a lot of hate for this but every time I see this guy it makes me want to punch the screen of my laptop. :ninja: So..yeah it shall be kept on the ship

Someone would come a long and eat it tho
I'd like it to be a new crew member. I can't see it being a current member and I wouldn't want it to be that. The whole development of their power would be flushed down the drain. It would be good if they could add a member who has a logia. Realistically it will probably be kept as a memento.

So when Jinbei joins you would like for him to eat the Mera Mera? Makes sense

Franky is gonna make Sunny the first Akuma no Mi ship user :ninja:
And the first no living thing corresponding to Zoan will have a Logia df :ninja:
Goa Canon v.2 FIRE CANON :ninja:
You know… You make an interesting point.
What if you could feed a Devil Fruit to a ship, would that ship no longer be able to float? No? Maybe feeding a Devil Fruit to a ship would cause the Universe to implode?

So will see the Straw Hats go back, go down through Fishman Island again, and go back to Ace's grave?
No.

Because it isn't possible that it could be another character that joins.
You are on a quest to become the Pirate Prince, and you decide your fate!
I would like to see Zoro's sword eating a devil fruit, just to see how he would fight with his new fighting style of 2 swords and a hammer :ninja:
@400MillionBelis:

Because it isn't possible that I was joking?
