User blog comment:Jinbe/Would you eat an unknown devil fruit..../@comment-931256-20120611134840

#1: Now this is a sorta difficult scenario to imagine (I think both scenarios assume a little different universe than the one we live in). I'd have no reason to believe there's anything supernatural about the fruit unless it appeared out of thin air and there was no rational explanation for that. I would at least save it. No way I'd take a bite right away (or even in several days). I don't think I could tell anyone about it (maybe I would post a question about the scenario on a One Piece wiki or something to get suggestions). I'd treat it like the dangerous, satanic object it is. Let's just say... no, I wouldn't dare.

#2: In our universe it would be pretty clear that the fruit vendor is just selling One Piece merchandise (like if someone was selling Duff beer). Though I would marvel at how authentic the fruits look; like real fruits but unlike anything that exists on this planet. Probably damn expensive too. I'd be very interested in where he got them from. No way someone has gene-manipulated a real melon species to have those swirl patterns. Do they also taste like crap, like real Devil Fruits?

If it was obvious that

1. these are in fact supernatural fruits from the depths of hell that somehow grant their eaters superpowers

2. it would be legal, people would be casually buying them and they actually worked like in the show without any complications

3. they were reasonably priced (I don't want to invest a lot of money to a new craze)

I would possibly want to have a the Goro Goro no mi. No more electric bills. :)
