Actually, with this business about a giant guy like Burgess trying to take a Devil Fruit, I'm reminded of something I've been thinking about: what would it be like if a giant ate a Devil Fruit? I mean, for some powers, like the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi or the Kage Kage no Mi, the size of the individual doesn't really matter, but take, for example, the Mera Mera no Mi. If, say, Hajrudin had won the tournament and eaten the fruit, would he be able to perform Ace's attacks on an exponentially larger scale? If Dorry had somehow eaten the Gomu Gomu no Mi, what kind of destruction could he cause with the Gears? Hell, what if Kashi had the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard to wreck things with? I'm honestly surprised that the World Government hasn't composed a fighting force composed entirely of Giants with Devil Fruits: their raw fighting power would be an order of magnitude or two above that of a human user.
