Theories: How are these people still alive?

onemoment

I'd like to turn a negative to a positve, how do you think the random characters are surviving in One Piece. Sure, we all must know about that "people with dreams don't die thing" (and that might be it…) but I have one theory, at least, for the big one: Pell.

After the explosion, Bird-form Pell is fighting straight up. Now, bird are light right? They have hollow bones and and feather help keep wind under their bodies. I think, the since Pell was flying up, the force of the explosion pushed Pell "up," like a wind erupting from under his wings. This would have "softened" the damage.

Now, from this point on Pell is several miles in the air, on most likely on fire. He's falling, falling far away from the city. Maybe the winds blowing out the fire or fueling it, I dunno I'm not clear about the science. But here's a scenario:

Pell falls in a lake, from an oasis--lucky huh? Remeber just how lucky OP characters can get. Now, he'd be drowning right? Well, I imagine that the doctor from that one scene was at the oasis at the right time. After all, someone living in a desert should have a good source of water--I know Alabasta had a drought but some people must have had barely enough water to get by--right?

So from here, Pell is saved from the water and nursed back to health by that doctor.

And lastly, I have this other crazy theory. Devil fruit users have a devil inside them right? Well I wonder, how does this effect them--aside from that power? I had this crazy idea--maybe the devil inside devil fruit users don't want to die?

Looks up the voltage required to kill someone

For uplifting theory, if you watch the anime clostly and see that Pell is consumed by the fire. The oasis thing is highly probable, the problem is that unless there is some hidden oasis that none of the citizens of Alabasta knows about that is directly connected to it by about a 50 meter radius of the city of Albarna, then it's probable. Pell seems to be the only miracluous survival, seems like the only where were he it truly seems like a miracle. I mean even with luck, it seems that Pell wouldnt have survived a blast, intentionally to be used to kill large copious amounts of people. He just got really really really lucky, so lets leave it at that.

Apparently it's usually a matter of current, not voltage, that leads to death.

Theory: He's a falcon type.

Falcons can approach 300kph in a dive.

Fly up a distance, "toss" bomb. Bomb explodes at or past the apex of its trajectory, but Pell has converted to full-zoan type and is doing a 250kph dive away from the explosion site. At that speed, he wouldn't need long to get 2.5km away… probably like one minute, depending on how fast he can accelerate.

Umm, I think the biggest variable in that theory is, did he escape the blast or did get hit. The thing about it is, the time when the bomb exploded, I'm pretty sure he was still holding it and flying up

Theory; cause Oda wants him to be alive.

You could as well have asked how Luffy is still alive after getting ruined by Crocodile, or Zoro after Mr1, Usopp after Jyabura and I forgot others.
