The Blues may be subdued but each has cultural influence from other parts of the world too, and that is just canon-wise. If we apply the 'extreme' rarity concept to this crew, that means that basically only one of us is going to have a Devil Fruit when there are characters with DF-like abilities already on the crew: Shapeshifting, powers of illusions (outside of the clima-tact making mirages), etc. So in this verse, it seems like the Lineage Factor has been manipulated without obtaining a fruit, which would downplay fruit users. <br/><br/>Even our RPC's heights are pretty mundane when there are large Humans and even abnormally large ones that borderline Half-Giants. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I see what you're saying, but don't think I fully agree with your assessment. Enough to drop the topic though. You are absolutely right that it would be nice for all of the player characters to have the potential to grow as far as the players want to take them, with or without fruit. The fruits are a great gimmick to explore in an RP. Dealing with how it alters the character, it's pro's and con's as well as experimenting with and mastering its abilities. I'm not in a rush to get one per say, but I would very much like the chance to play with one down the line. Until then I seem to have a lot to work with already with Sheena being a Mink or part Mink. I've finally gotten to the part at Zou in the manga and have to admit that the Mink tribe is a lot more impressive than I originally thought, which means that Sheena should likely be a bit more impressive than I originally gave her credit for. Or in other words, there's more I can get away with now. XD<br/>Probably a good thing too if she's supposed to keep these hooligans that are to be her crew in line somehow. Nobody respects a weak Captain. :P<br/><br/>All that said, I wonder what it would be like for Nergal to have a devil fruit and lose the ability to swim.  :-\
