User blog:FutureCyborg18/Toge Toge no Mi's power extended to inert objects?

Hey! Officially publushing a my second blog (once more about Paula), I'd like to bring up certain point that, in my opinion, should be added to the official page after certain observation; the Toge Toge no Mi's power can be extended to inert objects the user has direct contact with, in similar fashion to Busoshoku Haki.

Paula's pipe used as weapon
In addition to the common prowesses granted by the Toge Toge no Mi Devil Fruit, Paula is also shown being able to transmit her power to any non-living material she has direct contact with. This is verified when performing the Stinger Hedgehog technique; posterior to its usage, Paula is seen holding her pipe, intact. It is concluded that through the performance such a devastating movement, this pipe would have been crushed, unless the Toge Toge no Mi effect was extended to it; the pipe, converted into a weapon, would be deformed into a spike, later incorporated to the Stinger Hedgehog technique.

Observations
If anyone has an alternate theory (besides saying "it's a coincidence" - which explains nothing), I'd appreciate if you could share it. I must note, however and beforehand, that I am aware of Oda's statement about clothes recieving the user's effect in order to avoid nuidty, but must be noted that the mentioned pipe is and object and not part of an outfit.
