It hasn't been digestion that sorted out who got teh powers. The user gets the powers in a matter of seconds, as well as the weaknesses. The seconds taken is roughly the amount of time it takes for food to get to the stomach. This is seen when both Luffy and Buggy ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, and the Bara Bara no Mi respectivaly, as Luffy's neck strecthed after being shaken upsidedown by Shanks and Buggy sank after Shanks scared him into eating the Bara Bara no Mi, and scaring him again which caused his treasure map to fly off and Buggy jumped after it. (I would give more examples but those are the only cases I know of of someone eating a devil fruit that has been seen, apart from Kalifa and Kaku).

I actually brang something like this up at Ship. I asked if a DF was eaten at the same time, digested at the same time etc. to have two people get the powers. Every time the answer was no. Why should it be allowed here and not there? The rules of DF's should be the same after all :\ (cept stuff like no god models XD)
