This is a dificult question. I wouldnt realy say that items that have been mixed with a DF like funkfreed develope a soul. I would go a different aproach. I think that they develop a brain and basicaly learn from observing the world what to do. Maybe the DF gives them a head start in the way that their brains a revired or build to the point of the animal. Lie funkfreed would recieve a brain of an elephant. Keep in mind that the fact that funkfreed understood comands and experienced feer is not abnormal in one piece. Exampl : when luffy was training in th eisland and became the boss of the island the animals there were stiff with feer when they saw him. Sea kings haw obviously a high level of thinking as we saw in the Fishman island ark. So basicaly i think that when it comes to objects the DF basicaly creates a a vessal or a body (clone) maybe doue to it being able to differenciate and create stemm cell like cells and as shown by chopper and him being to comunicate with animals all animals are inteligent in one piece.

As to the question that you stated is Rob lucci or a leopard, isit chopper or a human. Remeber whan chopper said that carnivurous DF users are more bloodfirsty ? Well i think that in these situations the brain is revired. Rob lucci is neither any more. I believe his brain has merged with a primitive brain of a leopard. Him being able to have a strong sentient brain however pushed the leopard brain into a less of a spot light than it would be if the leopard DF was combined with a wepon. The same goes with chopper. His brain was revired and gained a sigificant boost. I would go as far as saying that his brain is probably stronger and better wired than a normal person brain and so again there came a mergin of personalieties.
