Currently, the number of devil fruits that have appeared in One Piece is up to more than 100 different types, each of which brings a mysterious and powerful ability in combat.
In the real world, of course, the answer is author Oda.
1. There is an Encyclopedia of Devil Fruits
In the One Piece world, there is an Encyclopedia of Devil Fruits, which provides various information about this fruit such as its name and the power it brings.
Thanks to this book, Blackbeard learned the shape and power of the Yami Yami no Mi fruit.
So who named the devil fruits and recorded them in the Encyclopedia?
2. In fact, there are still unidentified devil fruits
We have seen that Blackbeard is able to recognize the form of the Yami Yami no Mi from the illustrations described in the Encyclopedia.
For example, the Awa Awa no Mi and the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe The giraffe was eaten by Kalifa and Kaku.
This means that the Encyclopedia of Devil Fruits does not yet have complete information, and there may still be unrecognized fruits appearing.
3. The devil fruit owner named his fruit himself
This possibility is being considered by many people, because as Spandam once said we don’t know what powers the devil fruit gives us until we eat it.
Therefore, some devil fruits may not have names when they first appear, but after being eaten, the way they are named may follow the rule of using two katakana letters related to power.
And this also explains why many devil fruits seem to be inconsistent in their naming.
Or like the Devil Fruits Ryu Ryu no Mi means Dragon, used as a name to classify the Dinosaur group.
If what we’re discussing is true, the first person to possess a devil fruit was the one who named them, which would explain all of this.
