One Piece thread (Spoilers)

i like how lots of people are speculating that Luffy is going to eat it and become fire-rubber man. While I could see that as a possibility, there would need to be an added explanation for why he can possess two fruits and survive. The only option i could see him actually eating it would be if he lost in the tourney to someone, then elastic stretch to bite the thing before the bad guy got it, since that would be something Luffy would do (because pineapple logic).

The best theory i can think of would be that He gets the fruit and saves it for someone who he considers "nakama" enough to carry on Ace's influence elsewhere. Or he just hides it somewhere and leaves it to be forgotten in time.

They could always go with the "Will of D" being the reason that someone could eat more than one fruit.

Still, if someone allied with Luffy does *have* to eat it, we can already rule out Brook, Robin, Chopper, Kinemon, Momonosuke and probably Luffy, because they already have fruit abilities.
Of the remaining major allies, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Nami, Ussop and Jinbei, I don't think that Jinbei would want a fruit (Losing the ability to swim would be terrible for him) and Zoro doesn't seem like the kind of person to really want a fruit ability, nor does Franky. That leaves Nami, Ussop or Sanji. And honestly, neither Ussop nor Nami could do the Mera mera fruit justice (If one of them gets it, it would have to be played for laughs...).

So I think Sanji would be the most likely to end up eating as it would suit his fighting style and current abilities more than anyone else currently allied with luffy.
