[THIS IS THE LIFE HE LIVES... And what a life it is.]
Ah! Like an innate ability? We have those where I'm from, too. [A little nod! He seems to understand that part of this entire wild ride with a fair amount of ease, at least.]
That's a pretty strong one to have, though. Is that all you can do? Can you do other stuff?
[On the plus side, he is not at all focusing on the fact that this lad may?? Have been, just, keeping people hidden somewhere? Or something?? His tiny braincell doesn't work hard enough to parse the wildness he just witnessed.]
[ does he need to explain devil fruit powers to the flea? no. does he want to explain devil fruit powers to the flea? also no. so!!! no it is. also shuts my eyes at the other levels of "abilities" people have in one piece and how the fuck law is under that umbrella too. dislike!!!! ]
But there's some of that too.
[ so here i am supporting and appreciating a single-minded flea. ]
Depends on what you mean by "other stuff" and all I can do. What I can do is a little complicated.
[THE FLEA WISHES TO LEARN!! He wants KNOWLEDGE!! And POWER. Mostly just knowledge though, honestly. He likes digging into the weird lore of other worlds...]
Yeah? How's it complicated? Where I come from, people can usually do one thing and then some other stuff related to their innate ability, so I was wondering if it was something like that.
I ate a devil fruit. It's this mystical fruit that transforms whoever eats it into what it stands for. I ate a fruit that gave me the ability to have control of everything within a certain area—a "room".
There are no limits on it.
[ well, there are but none limits of whether it's living or non. ]
That sure does sound like some wild shit though, good LORD. But it's still somewhat familiar to him, given that that's the way domains work in his world, so it's knowledge that he can easily click into place.
Also, Law's ability is wild.]
Woah... That's a pretty powerful thing to be able to do. Are those kinda fruits common where you're from? Can just anyone eat one?
No, they're not that common; they're actually extremely rare. [ and since it doesn't matter here— ] The fruit that I ate was highly sought after because of what it could do, but there's nothing stopping anyone from eating one.
Though typically only one fruit can be eaten by a single person. If someone eats two devil fruits they'll die.
[ WELLL...not really but that man is an outlier and thus is not counted. ]
Yeah, I can imagine, if that's the kinda thing you get from it. [A little nod... He's just imagining tons of people combing over the whole world for these weirdass fruits so they can get magical abilities and honestly, he would not be that far off.]
--Why does two kill you, though? Your body just can't handle it?
[ he.....really wouldn't be far off at all. in fact, that's exactly what happens. 10000% correct. ]
That's the belief. I haven't seen the remains of anyone who had tried to eat two different devil fruits before so I couldn't tell you what happens to the body.
[ does law want to see what happens to a body though? yeah, yeah he does. he won't though because of one reason or another mainly because of oda but that's fine. ]
Each fruit does dramatically change the body. Imagining some who ate a fruit that turned them into snow then eating one that could control fire.
Ooh... Yeah, that'd be pretty bad, huh? I wonder if you could eat two fruits that weren't incompatible and live, though. Like - maybe if you had a really strong body or something!
[Imagine someone just running around eating ALL the devil fruit. ALL OF THEM.]
[ one of one pieces alternative titles, but law will pause for a moment thinking over what he wants to mahito before just going wit it. ]
There is exactly one person who that I know of that has been able to eat two devil fruits. Neither one of them are incompatible but they're also not compatible either.
[ another pause as there seems to be something else that law wants to say here but doesn't. ]
I'd be curious to study his body if I were ever given the chance to do so.
[If he picks up on the fact that Law is choosing to leave things unsaid, he doesn't address it. Law can keep his hobbit secrets!!]
Ah, wow... Hah, I'd imagine so! I mean - you're a doctor and a mortician, so figuring out how the body works is probably a big point of interest, right? The better you know it, the better you can work with it.
[ his hobbit secrets!!!! look, if they were important to anything then you'd know. probably...??? law doesn't have to spill everything to this flea in order to get answers across. he frowns slightly at beign called a "mortician" because not really?? but he does study bodies so.
it's not like it's incorrect. ]
Yes, but also knowing what makes him different from everyone else would just be beneficial in general. If it's something that could be traced by his bloodline, for example.
[HE DOESN'T KNOW A SPECIFIC WORD FOR BODY STUDYING THAT ISN'T JUST BEING A MORTICIAN THIS IS AS CLOSE AS HE CAN GET maybe he is also teasing, just a little.]
Ah! True, true. That'd be pretty interesting if it was a bloodline thing, huh? I bet you could synthesize a way to allow others to adapt to more than one fruit too, if it was in their blood.
[Or he figures that's something that science-y types could brain out, anyway...]
There is someone already doing something like that.
[ good on this flea for seeing this through?? though honestly, it shouldn't be that surprising to imagine someone doing something like that. ]
Not exactly making it easier for bodies to adapt to the fruit but making fake ones. Artificial devil fruits that can be made to embody whatever it is that they want.
The person running the organization has become quite powerful and there are plenty of people who want a cut of the profits. Just as well, the world government isn't bending over backwards to deal with pirate with an army of devil fruit users.
[ though someone should probably address that?? maybe??? ]
One of my plans is to make it go off sooner than later. [ he also saw it. rather... maybe he encouraged some of it?? (john mulaney voice) who's to say? ] Sometimes the best way to get someone out of your way is to have someone else do it.
[ something something, fight smarter and not harder? ]

From what I hear, it is extremely effective.
