User blog comment:Sentomaru/Are Devil Fruits too common?/@comment-4533495-20121022001441

Well that's just how it is on the grandline, Robin's giant-friend also said that there's a crapload of DF-users on the grandline, that's why he wasn't weirded out by Robin after all. Also it sort off makes sense to meet many DF users. It's like natural selection: who would either live in the grandline? a guy who's good at fighting with swords, or a guy who's good at fighting with swords AND has super powers?

I'm perfectly fine with it, though I think Oda should also think off new weapons and fighting styles. Creative weapons are a good replacement for devil fruits.
