Well you're probably referencing One Piece and those fruits are incredibly hard to find, even hard to get once you found them, they make it so you can't swim, & you have no idea what power they give you till you eat them.Quote:

And even if you did come on why would you want to give up the ability to swim because you need to learn and do it at least once in real life.Quote:

rid of the devil fruit powers.
IM talking abouy an episode i saw on rick and morty, a cartoon network adult swim show, where theres like a pawn shop and people go buy stuff for ex. Some guy says he want to be the fastest runner in the world, so the owner of the cursed pawn shop hands him some shoes free of charge, later on that day he puts them on and starts running 50 miles an hour but little did he know that he cant stop running and will continue running until he dies.
OOOOOHHHH XD yeah sure there is voodoo shops etc why do you want some cursed shit?Quote:

It gave them super powers but they also suffered a cruel fate as the cost of receiving the powers.Quote:

In the episode Rick later opened a shop that removed the curses off the items so that people could use the items without dealing with the curse that came with them.[1]
>"After Rick discovers that a microscope from Needful Things has a curse on it, he reverse-engineers the curses by utilizing his scientific knowledge. This results in Rick being able to scan cursed items, discover what their curse is, and then cleanse the curse from the item while retaining it's supernatural benefits."
Im surprised at the ammount of uninspected people would watch rick and morty,
But
Say rick didnnt open up the un-cursing shop, do stores like that really exist in real life???
Long form version of what I said.Quote:

All the items gave them supernatural powers, but as Rick said (verbatim), also "fucked with their lives in unforeseeable ways." That's why the Devil often said "everything has a price" because the cost of power was not free.
Even if i was to find a devil fruit in real life, i would eat it and jeep the secret to my self, i doubt ig you even go as far as showing your power to people, the government will do some sort of high tech attack on you while your sleeping and keep you on an underground base in texas and try to extract your powers and never release you out.Quote:
