One Piece Episode 626-630

[Kraco]

FIRE FRUIT! YEAH! I guess Donflamingo kept an apple in his pocket during the White Beard War.

Considering Caesar was working for him, he should have known all about the mechanics. It was everybody's expectation Ace would die; the whole event was about his execution, after all. So, it makes sense Flamingo would take an apple with him. It's another matter why he hasn't made a logia underling for himself, though. He had plenty of time. Surely he didn't foresee he might be able to, or rather might need to, use the fruit itself somehow against Luffy.

It'll be interesting to see what's going to happen to the fruit. I've always thought the Straw hats are kind of established as they are, and none of them would gain a new power like that. Luffy getting a double power might happen, since his Teach has two and he's probably the last boss, but who knows. Wouldn't that make Luffy too powerful before it's time for the final confrontations?

Maybe all of the underlings he'd trust with something as powerful as a logia fruit already have fruits.

It's not the kind of thing you'd waste on a low-level minion.

Absalom is just lucky Sanji doesn't know the mechanics of how the fruits work, or else he'd be a dead man.

I doubt it. Anyone he faces at this point in the series is going to know about Haki, so it's not like it'll make him invulnerable. And it'd take him years to develop moves for it.

Besides, I can see Luffy wanting to defeat Akainu using Ace's fruit, as a form of justice for his death.


The other possibility is that they learn how to feed it to an inanimate object.

Thousand Sunny the Fire Ship!

Although that might only work with Zoans. Cause that's the only type of fruit we've seen used like that so far.
