User blog comment:Staw-Hat Luffy/Luffy wants the fruit WTF/@comment-251220-20130327131830/@comment-251220-20130327180524

It isn't the toys that cause my brain to go hurty hurty, its devil fruits in general that give me the hurties...

As for toys being alive, all manner of things are possible in One Piece as far as I'm concerned. They have mermaids, zombies, cyborgs, dragons, and the fairy-like Klabautermann. So in honesty I wouldn't be surprised if the fairies may in fact have some sort of enchantment on the island which gives the toys life or maybe there's a devil fruit that allows one to move souls into inanimate objects (like the kage kage's shadows into corpses). Like I said the possibilities seem endless. And if it were fairies that enchanted Dressrosa I'd consider that an interesting possible reference to L. Frank Baum's story on how Oz became enchanted.
