They could swim through the air. Or sand. Finding strange uses is half the fun of the devil fruit powers.
Wait, when did I get a manga blog?That swim-swim fruit might actually be good, if it allowed one to "swim well in any fluid" with the water restriction still active. Swim in air, and interestingly, in sand and glass (non-newtonian fluids). If it allowed immunity from adverse effects of what one is swimming in (except water, of course), one could even swim in molten metal or poison!
^So we'd finally have someone who could counter Magellan?
Sorry, I can't hear you from my FLYING METAL BOX!It's not just any water. Kalifa was a special case as the water washed off her soap bubbles. Considering she was emitting bubbles from her arms while she was taking a bath, it clearly doesn't apply.

post #300!!
the only problem that I have with this current arc was that it's done too well. I want to see the rest of the crew at some point before the end of the year, and it's taking too long.
Consider this: the date that the crew was separated? The beginning of SEPTEMBER, 2008

It would give them the power to swim super fast...just not in the Ocean. Since it's been stated that Devil Fruits are negated by the "Power of the Sea" not water itself.
