Welcome
Hi and welcome to the One Piece Encyclopedia! Thanks for your edit to the Mero Mero no Mi page.

The article pretty much covers all those types, that is why I just linked to that page. However it does not change the fact the manga specifically states they return pregant and give birth to female children, therefore SOMETHING biological is different to them, therefore that much is NOT speculation.

 * Also, this is a work of fiction and when there are mermaids and fishmen, giants and dwarves, its pointless to argue that as humans they can't do it. This is Oda's world and he can write what he wants. He gave a percific rule for them, so therefore that can't change. If theres something to correct, its the identification of the specific form of reproduction they have going, but not complete removal of the one pointing in the right direction. Please would you either kindly do that or just not remove it before you stop and think whats been written done on that page and within Oda's works. One-Winged Hawk 17:26, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict)Saying that they must be parthenogenic as opposed to one of the other types is speculation. For all we know it could be the island itself that causes them to give birth to females since they return to the island before they give birth. So, yes it is very much speculation. Stating that it is unknown how they always give birth to females though it's possible they use a real world method such as Parthenogenesis, Gynogenesis, Automixis, or Hybridogenesis wouldn't be speculation.

 * If that were true no other species would have males and yet we do see Kuja referencing male animals they own.


 * But please do correct whats written, just don't remove it as its not speculation to state a little bit of real world linking, otherwise no other reference to anything real world would be able to stand. One-Winged Hawk 17:32, August 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you, thats better then flat out deleting it. One-Winged Hawk 17:41, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
