Hey, i know brook's fruit allows him to come back to life, but i've been thinking and it seems thats just a little blend. All the other fruits in OP could technically be put to better use, making a difference between a novice and a pro, but for now brook's fruit is only displayed as a one time user kinda thing, with no other possible way to use it.
So my question for all of you is, do you think that his fruit has other powers as well? is it a one time resurrection kinda thing or can he do it as many times as he wants? and can he resurrect into something else? it just seems weird to me that there is ONE specific fruit that ONLY does one thing for only ONE time…
It does do more than just one thing. Brook's devil fruit gives him all the functionality of a flesh body. His devil fruit works in place of muscles, digests his food, breathes his air, works his vision, smell, taste, etc. That's a lot for one fruit.
It may not seem spectacular, but it also gives him the muscle strength of a 200 pound man on a body that weighs only 60-80 pounds. His lightness relative to his strength makes him the fastest strawhat, immune to long falls, and gives him the ability to run on water and jump over buildings. This is why he favors a fast but light sword and his attacks focus on speed.
The downfall to all of this is that it is all speed and not power. This is why he failed against his more powerful zombie mimic, who could use the same attacks with many times the force.
Nevertheless, if he focuses on his unique talents he can still speedily kick ass.
