How would you use devil fruit powers in the real world?

God of Skypeia

I'll start. Enel: Start an electric company and make billions. Since I don't pollute, no need for extra spending. Use my money to influence the government and then sell electricity weapons to the military at ridiculously high prices. If they refuse, I would offer to join the military for a ridiculously high price. Alvida: Advertise my own moisturizing cream which I would say makes your skin impossibly smooth and guarentees you lose weight. The cream won't work, but I would already be too rich to care. Crocodile: Move to the Middle East or anywhere near the Sahara, and stay there and remain godly powerful. Kizaru: Same as Enel concerning the miltary. Luffy: Become a professional boxer, but only use the fruit's invulnerability to blunt attacks. Kailfa: Make a cream like Alvida, but mine works. Blueno: Start a company for travel. Mr 2.: Become a spy. Mr.3: Start a candle company. Hina: Start manufacturing handcuffs. Absalom: Become a spy. Magellan: Produce weapons for the U.S. military. Not sure if poison violates the Geneva conventions. Leo: Work at a hospital. Smoker: Use my smoke to power turbines. X Drake: Contribute my body to paleontologists.

Edit: You can now also pick periods in history you would live in with your devil fruit powers. Also you are the only one with devil fruit powers.

Admiral Issho

Kuma would be better than Blueno for traveling :ninja:

Absalom: Ya'll know what to do.

I don't imagine flying over shit in an air bubble is good for the nerves.

If you know that nothing Happens You can enjoy the view

God of Skypeia

I would rather go through a door than an air bubble. What if it's too hot and the bubble expands and then pops? I wouldn't take my chances in the summer.

Dom64

Whatever power I'd get, I'd keep a low profile.
I would probably use the ability for monetary gain if I could though.

intensepoo

I would take any Logia fruit and offer to join the military for a high price.

God of Skypeia

Just a general question did Ace solidify when hit with water like Crocodile?

hosemisnuba

I think something like this should be in the general One Piece section, but whatever.

Mickamott

With Fuji I'd work for NASA and train astronauts. They would pay me handsomely.

I'd also write a book titled "Eat, Pray, Gamble: Memoir of a Blind Tiger" chronicling the life and times of a wandering drunk who becomes admiral thanks to a mix up the likes of which hasn't been seen since The Big Lebowski, all in order to sate the ineivitable midlife crisis that will plague my life once I realize all I've done with the power to control gravity is train astronauts.

andre

With any given devil fruit I'd use it to become a pirate. Somalia, here I come! (I know this is possibly insensitive, but I don't know where else I can join/create a pirate crew and use my powers to get rich and successful, robbing tankers and such)

Champ

@intensepoo:

Are you kidding me? See this is why you shouldn't get one.

You could run the god damn military haha. why join? I'd get the pika pika no mi and make my way into secret bases and discover all the real facts that are hidden from us. I'd expose them then take over the world creating a new world order.

I was thinking Enel's power but we actually know a lot about electricity and it could probably be beaten/restrained.

Ace's power would be good IRL however it too has weaknesses that are easily exploited.

Swamp swamp is terrible. Yami Yami no mi would leave me dead (shot)

Kuzan's ice power…is lame shit.

Crocodile's would be cool but again, it's got a serious weakness.

If you're logia, then what's the point.

You just became god of earth basically.

Munchlax

If I were Jabra I would fight Liam Neeson in hand to hand combat in the movie The Grey. I would also eat grandmothers and prey on little girl's Kid's Cuisines.

Carmilla

@Tyrano:

Absalom: Ya'll know what to do.

wolfwood

If i had Blueno's door fruit i'd set up a cozy little bachelor pad in my door space and then wait outside the bars offering people this service instead of taking a cab all the way home, neatly avoiding getting too sleepy, too vomity, or the dreaded letting people see how you look in natural light.

Carmilla

Marco: I would die as late as I could, and fly when no one sees me. (last also goes to Pell)
Perona: Use negative hollow on everyone and record what they say.
Kuzan: Walk/Ride Bicycle on the frozen sea path.
Hancock: The same way she used it. + I'd turn off and on someone into statue quickly, when no one is looking. So people would think that statues are moving when they don't look at them.
Buggy: I'd be magician's assistant in illusions about cutting. I'd move in narrow places with my head only.
Shiki: live in the sky, on my own little island.
Kinemon: I wouldn't need to buy clothes anymore.
And Robin: ….....

wolfwood

If i was Buggy i'd keep my junk in a locked box inside a safe so i could avoid being distracted by my own inherent horniness.

And probably always have my balls removed to avoid the risk of painful groin hits.

I could probably go to the movies for free too. Just sneak in the eyes and sit in the vestibule.

Razh

Miss Valentine. Best fruit out there for workout. Insta DBZ training. Could also abuse it while playing rugby, but that would be unfair.
It's such an awesome ability, shame it got wasted on such a weak character.

Not being able to swim sucks, though.

Hudell

I'm actually writing a book with something similar to this. People in current times suddenly learned different powers and started living with them. One of the main characters work at a harbor loading ships with her levitation powers.

Ordinary

Surprised the Hana Hana no Mi hasn't been mentioned yet.

KageKageKing

I would become a masked vigilante with whatever power I choose.

Razh

I'll borrow the idea from another thread, but I'd use quake fruit to vibrate my dick.

Clessenur

I would eat the diamond fruit and sell my kidney.

Carmilla

@Ordinary:

I did it. Though not easy to understand :ninja:

Are the people's powers common knowledge and if so how is the government reacting?

cpuguy18

The flower flower fruit is the only fruit thats useful for doing tasks in the real world.

Lao G

Giro Giro no mi. A very useful fruit indeed. I would probably use it for a career success, maybe become a "man who can read mind" and of course, since everyone is naked before my eyes…

Hudell

@God:

People are suddenly learning their powers (there's some conditions for it to happen). The first time someone got one, he ended up killing 37 people by accident in a crowded area, so it got public pretty quick. The story happens 12 years after that.
The government is slow and is still adapting, but most of the powers aren't really dangerous so it hasn't been too much of a problem yet. The church is completely against it though, and they managed to find a way to remove someone's power forever.

Light Bro

Take over the world.

The only one? How so?

What if I had to fix the roof? Kilo kilo, bara bara, ito ito, Fujitora's gravity, Shiki's flying fruit…

What if I had to cook something or chop some wood? Mr. 1's supa supa

Wash clothes? That one's easy

Wash your woman or kids or anything else? Also easy

wolfwood

Foxy's fruit could be good for a laugh. Throw some pies, slow them down and call people over

Maju

@Tyrano:

Absalom: Ya'll know what to do.

in the real world it would be useless,because it would make you blind.

God of Skypeia

Seems a bit played out to me, but I don't know how you will make it unique. Also is this going to be published and if so what publisher?

migzaz15

Jewerly bonney fruit: become immortal and charge millions of dollars to make you younger

Champ

@Light:

Take over the world.

this is the only logical thing to do…

Tyrano

@Maju:

1. It's all under assumption that the fruit does in real life exactly what it does in the comics.

2. People's dreams never end, goddammit!

Champ

@God:

C'mon dude, he wants to write a book-don't be that guy. Let the editors be that guy…

I honestly believe that concept is worth a book. Nothing is really original anyways.

Redpanda

Law's fruit… I would simply do whatever I want

Luca

The best fruit in terms of money would probably be enel, Altho you'd probably be hunted down forever because millions of people would lose their jobs.

Hudell

@God:

I'm writing it in portuguese and hope to finish it by july, to enter a contest from a local publisher.
If I lose, I'll probably try to publish it myself or with the help of a friend that works in a big publisher.
I may write an english version after that.

The story is heavenly influenced by one piece and a little bit by Musashi (from Eiji Yoshikawa). It incorporates brazilian myths the same way one piece did with zombies and ghosts and brook in thriller bark (Explaining everything with a fixed set of rules). In this first story, the characters hang around in the southern state of the country (Rio Grande do Sul) dealing with local myths, but I plan on writing sequels to cover other states that have a lot of well known stories.

city_lights31

I've always loved Moria's fruit…so I'd choose that one. I could, idk, use it to make zombies of recently dead popular musicians and become their manager.

...also Brook's....why not...

Medical Orbit

Kuzan: stop global warming
Smoker: smoke myself
Perona: whenever someone acts arrogant towards me, I'll make them depressed
In general: use them on people I don't like

God of Skypeia

What would the tone of the story be dark or light hearted? Or right in the middle like One Piece?

Hudell

@God:

I'm not sure I understand the question…
you mean as in good or evil?

God of Skypeia

No. I mean is the story going to be cheery and happy or brooding and tragic?

Hudell

@God:

No. I mean is the story going to be cheery and happy or brooding and tragic?

Oh, there's nothing too tragic.

The main antagonist is basically a prankster. He isn't really a bad person, but likes to mess around with others.
After the main characters fall on one of his pranks, they start to travel, meeting different people with different problems. They help some of them and are helped by others.

Some of these people have a really rough life. Some get their happy endings, others don't.

Palpitoad93

@Maju:

Because Devil Fruits follow physics.

God of Skypeia

As long as the main character isn't a cliche or perfect then your story sounds fine. Any antagonists or is this just a short story?
