You are entirely within your rights of not being me to disagree, my friend! I would say that the scene where Shanks shakes Luffy upside down is rather humorous and that could be argued to be the point of it, and I'm gonna stick to my guns about the digestion of the fruit not being a key factor, though maybe if you spit rather than swallow the power will stay in the mush in protest of your bad manners.
