User blog:Neko Neko no Mi Model: Russian Blue/The potential merits of a Time-Time fruit, particularly one held by an Admiral

This is intended chiefly as a forum for debate over the introduction of time-travel/time-powers into One Piece. Apologies if this discussion has been had before.

In the previous post by Ghmorello summarising chapter 905, A FANDOM user pitched the idea that Ryokugyu could be a time-traveller, albeit one who travelled through a machine.

It’s worth considering: being an Admiral, Ryokugyu no doubt has a devil fruit, and the idea that it is related to an overpowered ability like time would easily put him on a par with (if not exceed) Fujitora’s own abilities. Besides which, other aspects of his character may hint to this being the case as well, i.e. he hasn’t eaten in 3 years, but if his body clock has been stopped, why would he need to?

At the very least, you have to admit that Oda would enjoy bestowing a time-time fruit on a lazy man *who does nothing but wastes time…*

However, the concern here is a time-time fruit with anything more than the ability to stop time (like time-travel): A FANDOM user suggested that Ryokugyu is a character we know from the future (Sanji). But, whilst it is fairly common knowledge at this point that Oda is influenced by the Dragon Ball series, borrowing this kind of element might be a big strain plot-wise.

So what do all of you think? Would you welcome the introduction of a time-time fruit? How would you like time-powers to be handled in the series?
