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.

Actually, any water does the trick. During Nami's fight with Califa, it's mentioned that if she had allowed herself to be more than half submersed in the hot tub, her power would no longer worked.

It would allow them to swim really fast, HALF immersed in the water then...

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?

what if there was an ANGEL fruit that gave one powers over the ocean? or the lamest devil fruit ever... a zoan fruit fish type... true they could probably turn into a fishman but they couldn't go into the water so it would still be kinda pointless

Buddy of mine actually came up with an interesting solution for a Fish Fish Fruit: you get all the powers of the fish, but you can't leave the water for the rest of your life.

Oh, shi-

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?

Magellan would just figure out the power and throw small enough amounts of poison at the guy that he couldn't swim in it.

A rather odd picture of that scene just formed in my head. tongue

Isn't Word of God that you can't swim at all? While water will weaken your powers, I assume, you're unable to swim, be it milk, beer, soda...? I remember reading that in an SBS once I think.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

Oda did say all kinds of water, but he was mostly saying lakes, pools, etc. Nothing is said about solutions in water aside from salt, which for now I take as meaning all metal/non-metal ionic compounds.

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.

He said that Kalifa was only half-submerged, and any more than that weakens the DF user. Also, she could only emit bubbles from the parts of her self that were not submerged.

Maybe a Swimming fruit would let you swim through everything BUT water.

That seems the most likely.

No, it was that water washes off her powers. Remember, Nami got all better by rinsing herself off.

I know I might be redundant, this being One Piece and all, but: [[HSQ HOLY SSSHIIIT!!!]]. There's only ''one'' appropriate soundtrack for this!

Epic. The Man Who Rocks the World indeed.

The credits page is probably my favorite so far.

I think that has been the credits page previously as well. From before I started reading this manga quite possibly, but I do think I remember it nonetheless.

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
