Although there's nothing wrong with furthering conversations, it's just keeping an eye out for not having explored all of the city in the tine it takes others to enter it. :P<br/><br/><hr/><em>Edit</em><br/><br/>Reviving the talk about the post of Devil Fruits. I just arrived at the part in the Manga where Luffy is facing off against Lord Cracker and I think that he's the perfect example of the fact that the theme and origin of a power has little to no meaning when it comes to gauging strength. When something a silly and brittle as crackers can stand against the force of Luffy's elephant gun it really just comes down to the individual using the power. They could have made number 2's candle wax easily just as tough this way. Or they'll introduce some character who controls paper that's as hard as diamond. This flies directly into the face of Akainu's "Lava is hotter than fire" comment, though those could just be words.
