Hi! this is box-of-bats with the main account, don't we love how tumblr works. I have a question about Devil Fruits! I'm so afraid of what I might find with a google search spoiler-wise but I'd really like to have my ocs being users. Are there characters that have Ink related powers? What about someone with a spider related fruit?
I don't know having a list would help out in these cases but how do you go into the non-spoiler territory? 😭
Thank you so much for the resources!!

Hi, thanks for your question!
Researching anything for One Piece OCs is a spolier-riddled hell, especially when it comes to Devil Fruits - which is one of the reasons why I made this blog. You pretty much can't avoid spoilers if you google anything or hop on the wiki, so I'll be doing it for you.
So: Are there ink or spider devil fruit users? Kinda! But that doesn't mean that your OC couldn't have an ink or spider fruit! Let me explain:
As for ink devil fruits, there is one devil fruit that lets the user generate ink from their body and create drawings with that ink that come to life. BUT you could always make your devil fruit be a fruit that turns the user into ink instead of generating it. Problem solved!
For spiders, it's also very easy. One Piece allows for variants of devil fruits, and that's especially true for animal fruits. The one spider fruit that there is is modelled after an extinct kind of spider, so you could literally pick any modern-day spider and you'd be golden. Your fruit would then be called Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: [insert spider name here], as Kumo Kumo no Mi is the name for all spider-type devil fruits. The model then specifies the specific kind of spider and, like I said, you're free to pick whichever.
I hope that answered your question! If you need any more help - with a name for the ink fruit for example -, feel free to let me know!
would a devil fruit that allowed the user to hear sounds beyond the normal human range be a paramecia or a logia type? devils fruits confuse me a bit ngl >_<
Hey, thanks for your ask! Devil fruits are confusing, I get it - and the further you get in the story the more confusing they get, actually.
Generally, the difference between Logia, Paramecia and Zoan type devil fruits is as follows:
Logias make you become a natural element. It makes you able to fully transform your entire body at will and the element has to occur naturally in the world, like fire, ice, sand, smoke... If it doesn't occur naturally, it's not a Logia. Logias, through transforming your body into a natural substance, also make you invulnerable to some extent. Try to punch fire - you can't, your hand will just go through it. This can be counteracted through a special technique that gets introduced at about the halfway point of the story, through seastone or through the natural enemy of the element. In fire's case, that would be water.
Zoans give you the ability to transform into a living creature, be that real or fictional, extinct or not. They have a model, which is the umbrella term, like cats, dogs, birds etc., and a type, so cheetah or lion for cats, wolves and hyenas for dogs, hawks and pigeons for birds... Zoans usually let the user transform into both a hybrid and full animal form. Note that while I said "living creature", plants don't count towards Zoans. It has to have some form of sentience. Types of humans/humanoids also count here! Also, Zoan users seem to get a boost to their physical strength and durability, no matter whether their creature they can transform into is particularly strong or durable in nature.
Paramecias have the widest range of powers and would best be defined as "anything that doesn't fit the definition of Logia or Zoan". Some Paramecias function very similar to Logias in that they let you emit a substance, sometimes even transform into it, but that substance will always be unnatural or artificial. Some also function similarly to Zoans in that they allow some sort of transformation, but that wouldn't be a living creature but an object or something.
So, to be able to decide what category your advanced hearing devil fruit would go into, you'd have to think about why it allows the user to hear better. If there's no further reasoning to it, it's a Paramecia. Generally, Paramecia might be your best bet. If they get their advanced hearing from some sort of creature and can transform into that creature, it might be a Zoan. What it definitely isn't is a Logia. Hearing isn't a substance or element and you can't transform into "hearing" itself either.
Hello! Long time lurker of this blog here. I got into One Piece around the live action. I watched the anime and then the live action and now I’m obsessed and have to make a silly little OC to insert into the universe lol
So here’s my question: I’ve came up with a devil fruit for my OC and I’m worried it’s too close to some other characters.
The fruit is called the Twin-Twin fruit, (still no decided Japanese name) and it’s essentially allowing its user to create full bodied clones of themself. Typically the user can only make one or two clones or ‘twins’ at a time. And while the clones can move independently of the user, their movements are still controlled by the user and they are kind of based on the pun “can’t be in two places at once”.
A draw back of this fruit is the fact that the user can become physically and/or mentally wore out due to stretching themselves between the twins, hence why only one or two are the usual number. So if the user generated too many, or kept them active and out for too long, she would risk mental exhaustion, and physical exhaustion to the point of fainting.
Does this fruit seem too similar to some others? Or what could I do with it to maybe improve it? I honestly came up with it because of a concept of when my OC meets the straw bags initially she’s a waitress and after leaving their table two of her clones immediately serve them water and stuff and freaks them out or surprises them lol.
Love the blog!!
Hi! Glad to see you step out of the shadows. The more OCs the merrier!
First of all, I love your concept, specifically your OC's introduction to the Straw Hats. I can just imagine their shock lol
As far as canon fruits go, there are fruits that allow people to take on the appearance of other people or make a person look like a different person. As far as I know, none of those involve creating clones of themselves, at least not the way you describe it. So, you're completely safe there!
When we get to non-canon fruits, there is one that's a little more similar to your Twin-Twin Fruit, but it's from a stageplay from 2016, so I'd say there's very little chance of it becoming canon and getting in your way.
So, I say: Go for it! The concept is great and sounds like it would be really fun to play around with, and fun is what it's all about!
As a little bonus, I've gathered some Japanese name options for you, that way you don't accidentally name your Twin-Twin Fruit the same as an existing fruit and get upset about it later. You don't have to pick any of these, but maybe one of these options speaks to you:
Ari Ari no Mi ("to see clearly; to clearly see in one's mind's eye" - I figured this might work since your OC would have to visualize the clones/twins' movements and you said it puts a strain on their mind)
Giku Giku/Biku Biku no Mi ("surprise, startle"; I just thought it was funny because your OC startled the Straw Hats when she used her powers in front of them for the first time)
Chiro Chiro/Chiru Chiru no Mi (potentially "to scatter, to disperse", because your OCs more or less splits themselves up, right? At least mentally)
Giri Giri no Mi ("at the limit, to have no time or space to spare, barely" because of the exhausting side effects of the fruit)
Heto Heto/Hena Hena no Mi ("worn out, exhausted")
Jito Jito no Mi ("to stare, to look at with skepticism")
Miri Miri no Mi ("appearing, the appearance of something" for when the clones appear?)
Boku Boku/Ore Ore/Naiko Naiko no Mi (all three of these - boku, ore and naiko - are a way to say "I"; put them there twice and it's I twice, meaning two version of yourself, meaning clones i.e. how the fruit works)
I hope this answer helped and you have lots of fun with your OC and their concept!
