Biggest theory on them is there's an island that hasn't been found, for whatever reasons, that has the trees that the Devil Fruits grow on, and once one is grown and ready to be eaten, it falls off and lands in the ocean and is carried away by the currents to wherever. Or it's just one tree that grows all the fruits and same thing happens, once one if fully grown it falls off and is carried away by the ocean.

Another theory is the island is in the sky, and that's why nobody has found it.

We'll found out sooner or later though. Vegapunk knows the most about them and there's no way we won't be introduced to him.

Vegapunk is a seriously mysterious character, I'm sure when he shows up in the storyline a lot of things will be revealed.

I'm looking forward to see what kind of character he is. I'm guessing he'll be somewhat neutral, works for the WG , but also has his own affairs.

[–]PyroKnight 1 point2 points ago

Hopefully one of those affairs is with Franky, super-upgrade anyone? -mecha

[–]Braktot 0 points1 point ago

I just hope he is a character who turns out to be a cool guy, instead of some crazy mad evil Marine scientist... I hate the corrupt marines...

[–]KSmoria 1 point2 points ago

I didn't think of that. Makes sense but I doubt he will be here.

Well you see, when a mommy Devil Fruit and a daddy Devil Fruit love each other very much...

They come from...

your heart...

[–]queez 2 points3 points ago

just dont forget: ENEL had also a DF, and he was never under the sky..

[–]Yemathums[S] 1 point2 points ago*

Hmm good point.....Knock up stream? Edit: also when I think about it no Skypieans seemed to consider the possibility Enel had eaten a DF, he just had godlike powers, so it seems they don't show up in the sky normally, or at least not known about.

[–]queez 0 points1 point ago

Where is Enel came from? He and his Priests.. someone said that they aren't from skypia..

[–]Yemathums[S] 0 points1 point ago

Bilka, another sky island that Enel destroyed when he left it.

I really liked the theory that there's a small sky island with a tree on it, and when they're ripe, they just kinda fall off into the sea below. Raftel is probably the more likely answer.

[–]zorospride 0 points1 point ago

I like that one as well. It would explain why people seem to find them randomly all over the place. It seems more a matter of chance and the dropping from the sky theory would fit very well with that.

[–]Plimden 3 points4 points ago

Maybe there are 3 trees, one for each type of fruit? :O

[–]omegachild 1 point2 points ago

Not really sure, though I've wondered the same thing before. They might explain it eventually. My best guess is that there was once a place that had all the DF in one place (that allowed people to write a book listing all the DFs) and they somehow scattered across the seas, kinda like Dragon Balls I guess.

[–]Al_Goregasm 0 points1 point ago

While I really have no idea where they come from, although I do like the sky island idea that was mentioned, the question that has always bothered me is: If there is only one fruit for any given devil fruit ability, how then have the devil fruits not become extinct? The best answer I've been able to come up with is that maybe when a DF user dies, his/her fruit reappears, wherever that might happen. This would also allow for the existence of the DF catalog that we have seen. And, in my crazy improbable fantasy world, allows for the possibility that Gol D Roger was a rubber man just like Luffy.

[–]OrangeLanternCorps 0 points1 point ago

Here's another thing I never really got. How are some Fruits considered rarer than others if there's only one of each? Like the Yami Yami no Mi. Blackbeard spent years looking for it, but if there's only one of each it's no rarer than any other DF.

[–]yonyon108 0 points1 point ago

logias are the rarest because there are less logias then Zoans and less zoans then paramecias

[–]OrangeLanternCorps 0 points1 point ago

But the Yami Yami no Mi is still no rarer than the Gomu Gomu no Mi.

[–]yonyon108 1 point2 points ago

technically yes since there is never more then one of each devil fruit at a time, but since it is logia type fruit, and there are less logia type fruits it is considered rarer

[–]yonyon108 1 point2 points ago

this is just a theory but it is plausible that Raftel is the birthplace of all devil fruits and "One piece" is the source for them all, i mean the devil fruit theme of this show is so hidden that its just as mysterious as "One piece" so its plausible that they are one in the same.
