Forum:Ace's Devil fruit

Alright so we know now that Doflamingo has his devil fruit now but what is the point in bringing it back into the story? As we know Blackbeard has found a way to have multiple devil fruits and I think its quite obvious that Luffy will have to atleast gain a second to match him so I think there is a strong chance that he might get Ace's fruit. What do you think?

Certainly a possibilty im hoping for that as well but most would disagree lol but if he did eat it i think he would be able to the handle it bcs of his enormous haki

Honestly, I think Doflamingo and Ace had some sort of connection such that Doflamingo gave Ace the mera mera no mi in the first place. I have no solid evidence, but my suspicions are mainly drawn from Doflamingo's ownership of the devil fruit at the present, and Trafalgar Law's connection with Doflamingo. At some point in the recent chapters, Doflamingo is stated as saving the "heart seat" for Law, which we learn later is some sort of authority position depicted by four seats that resemble the suits of a deck, at its head Doflamingo, the "Joker" of the Deck, aka the only card without a suit. Trafalgar Law's heart seat is just that because of Law's former connection with Doflamingo, as Law's crew is named the "heart pirates". To that extent, I believe that Doflamingo's ownership of Ace's old devilfruit, and the fact that Ace's former pirate crew (before joining Whitebeard) was the "spade pirates" points toward a possible, but unlikely, connection between Ace and Doflamingo. During the whitebeard war at marineford, we see that Doflamingo had no personal grudge against Ace, as when Ace and Luffy are set free Doflamingo even suggests that they not be purseud, as it would be "more fun" (although this is probably Doflamingo's whimsical character at work). Moreover, Doflamingo is known for manipulating assets of the pirate world, be it weapons or devil fruits, especially now that we know about the Smile devil fruits given to Kaidou. So, with this logic, perhaps it is likely that Doflamingo monopolizes certain devil fruits and grows them exclusively, in specific, the mera mera no mi, which would maybe grow again after Ace's death. That said, I still believe that the idea of removing Ace's devil fruit like Blackbeard removed Whitebeard's is far more likely at the present, but we can never be too sure. I still believe that there is SOME connection with Doflamingo and Ace; after all, Ace was properly buried just after Shanks ended the war, and there's no evidence to show that Ace's grave was defiledc so, it might not be all too likely that the fruit was removed, especially since Blackbeard would probably only use the technique of stealing devil fruits for himself, as Blackbeard cut off connections with all other powers (no allies, enemies with the yonkou, obviously enemies of the world government). Still, given a whole two years, anything is possible, especially the idea that Doflamingo and Blackbeard, the two most whimsical antognists of the series, forming some sort of alliance. - SJ
