One Piece thread (Spoilers)

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.

Nah will of D has nothing to do with it, blackbeard has a different type of body we haven't had explained to us yet. Plus it's been stated by oda many of a time that he wants luffy to keep his rubber powers because it's such an underated silly skillset.

I really want usopps kabuto to eat it to get the fire pirahna haha.

Also, I get the vibe that the blind guy's the new admiral.

It was pretty much confirmed this chapter. If you notice while he was walking out he left a note saying the organization will cover it. Not to mention his apprehensive explanation to luffy, or the fact people recognized him. Those are big clues for me, as a bounty hunter I doubt he'd leave paper like that lol. And specifically he should be the fujikora that was referred from the new fleet admiral earlier.

Also I love the similarities between DD and crocodile arc's. Crocodile stayed towards the start of paradise, running an organization that luffy heavily got involved in. Now here we are at the start of the new world where DD lingers on the border. I'll be dissapointed if luffy fights this tournament just to get his brothers fruit. I just feel like luffy shouldn't give two damns about it, just because of his simple personality, his brother wasn't the fruit, his brother was just his brother. I can understand the attachment but I just felt like he should realize this now not learn it later.
