Dr. Vegapunk, a Marine scientist and the world’s most prominent researcher of Devil Fruits, is heavily responsible for researching the effects and origins of Devil Fruits, as well as their interactions with Seastone. Vegapunk was the one who discovered that Devil Fruits work by affecting the Lineage Factor. Shoghi Effendi quoted in Hornby, Helen (1983). Hornby, Helen (ed.). Lights of Guidance: A Baháʼí Reference File. Baháʼí Publishing Trust, New Delhi, India. p.513. ISBN 81-85091-46-3. Most other religions and cultures teach of an evil being who roams the earth wreaking havoc and fighting against the forces of good. In Islam, the devil is known as Shaytan and, like the Devil in Christianity, is also thought to have rebelled against God. In Judaism, “satan” is a verb and generally refers to a difficulty or temptation to overcome instead of a literal being. Nils G. Holm The Human Symbolic Construction of Reality: A Psycho-Phenomenological Study LIT Verlag Münster 2014 ISBN 978-3-643-90526-0 p. 54 In Buddhism, Maara is the demon that tempted Buddha away from his path of enlightenment. Much like Jesus of Christianity resisted the Devil, Buddha also resisted temptation and defeated Maara.

Even so, throughout history, the Devil’s reputation as an evildoer hasn’t changed much. Most Christians still believe he’s literally transformed the world and is responsible for much of the world’s corruption and chaos. Benjamin W. McCraw, Robert Arp Philosophical Approaches to the Devil Routledge 2015 ISBN 978-1-317-39221-7 As stated by Shanks, Devil Fruit are considered by some to be "incarnations" ( 化身 , keshin ?) of the Sea Devil ( 海の悪魔 , Umi no Akuma ?). [1]Performing the devil’s press — especially in medium to high rep ranges (10 to 20-plus reps) will build full-body muscular endurance. For many strength athletes, this is often one of the most neglected areas of development in strength programs. But in terms of functional, day-to-day strength — which can help support those bigger lifts — the devil’s press can build incredible functional strength by using heavy loads for multiple reps.

Devil Fruits are mysterious, distinctive fruits scattered throughout the world, known for permanently granting their eaters superhuman powers and an equally permanent inability to swim. With only one notable exception, an individual can only acquire the powers of a single Devil Fruit and survive. However, the object also gains a living creature's ability to feel pain and fear and becomes susceptible to disease. [94] As seen with Rob Lucci and Kaku, not all Zoan users lose themselves upon awakening though. In those cases, they may even attain a new, powerful transformation known as Awakened Form ( 覚醒フォルム , Kakusei Forumu ?) that is divine in appearance. Such a successful awakening is considered rare.

Hegemonius (4th century CE) accuses that the Persian prophet Mani, founder of the Manichaean sect in the 3rd century CE, identified Jehovah as "the devil god which created the world" [84] and said that "he who spoke with Moses, the Jews, and the priests … is the [Prince] of Darkness, … not the god of truth." [80] [81] Tengrism After consuming a Devil Fruit, the user does not automatically have mastery over their powers and must train themselves to properly use their new powers. According to Crocodile, the more a Devil Fruit user trains their powers, they gain a greater understanding of how they work and their limits. With this, a Devil Fruit user can use their powers in more versatile and efficient ways. Furthermore, while uncommon, if the user becomes physically ready to handle the fruit's full potential, the fruit will awaken and grant an extended pool of abilities. In contrast, those who are content with just having powers and do not train them are unable to extract the full potential of their Devil Fruits. That is, even if the power granted by the Devil's Fruit is quite powerful, if the user does not know how to use and control it, it becomes practically useless. Peter J.
