User blog:AegisIsKing/About Devil Fruits

The concept of the Devil Fruit weakness in One PIece is based on this "sea devil" that grants you supernatural powers in exchange for being unable to swim. But Oda probably did this because One Piece is a pirate story, and that being the case, the world is full of sea water.

But the story I'm working on now is more of a medieval thing, kinda like Don Quixote (not Doffy). So we're not going to be anywhere near water, at least for most of the part. That got me thinking, this whole water weakness is almost pointless :p

And then I watched Dracula Untold (spoilers, it's crappy). Silver, huh. It burns the Devil. So I thought, maybe I could make it so that Devil Fruit users are weak to silver. It'll make them go crazy whenever they see it, and it'll burn them on contact. Silver's pretty common, since it's used for utensils. And some dudes actually used silver swords in the movie (why not armor?).

Bottom line: is it all right if I changed the Devil Fruit weakness from water to silver? Or is that taking the freedom of this wiki too far?

One of the rules mentioned that stuff like magic or anything too "non-OP" isn't allowed. I'm fine if it's not, but I still think it's a pretty cool idea nontheless.
