Wow, did not know that, that's kinda awesome. Sorry, Vaz.

As for DF's, a part of me thinks that because VP knows so much about them, that they have their origins in science, a weapon from a war, possibly during the Void Century.

Another part of me likes to think that OP has gods similar to the Greek and Roman pantheons, each god embodying a different aspect of the world, and the fruits are links between, say, the god of gravity and the mortal world. Eating them is like making a deal with them for power, but the god of the ocean was against giving mortals power like that, which is the origin of the curse about swimming and the reason their are no water fruits.
