Been quite some time since I last blogged (and it's gotten to a point where I've said this on every blog entry I've done for a while now </3). But nonetheless, a blog is the better option for this particular topic, as I feel trying to put it in Sugarcube would garnish little discussion, as the amount of One Piece fans on here is an unknown, to me. A sad fact, mind you.

At any rate, I've started watching One Piece over now that I got caught up with the current episodes. So I had a lot of creative thought about matching devil fruits up to ponies that fit them, today. I'm making a list of these match-ups, and will be explaining not only the devil fruits' powers and images of them for reference (mostly brought from the One Piece wiki), but also why I believe the match-ups individually work.

Reference for non-One Piece fans who actually give a shit about any of this:

Devil Fruits (One Piece wiki)

--

Pika Pika no mi ('Glint Glint Fruit')

Allows the user to create, control, and transform into light at will, and enables the user to move at the speed of light and transport him/herself by means of reflection. "Pikapika" is an onomatopoeia of 'glimmering' or 'shining' light.

Being the monarch of the sun and thus the light of the shining day, Princess Celestia would wield this power the best. Her very color scheme reflects a vibrant nature in and of itself, with her rainbow mane also being based around light particles causing colors to gleam in various shades. Along with her sisters' fruit, her power matches her responsibilities and general characteristics.

Kage Kage no mi ('Shadow Shadow Fruit')

Gives the user the ability to manifest and control shadows as a tangible physical form, effectively giving them the capability to manipulate people's movements through their shadows, remove people's shadows entirely so that their owners will disintegrate in sunlight, and create armies of living shadows to do their bidding. 'Kage' means 'Shadow'.

Being the co-ruler of Equestria who is in charge of the darkened nights in the light of the moon, princess Luna holding the power over the shadows that are cast from the dim but powerful light of her moon would make the most sense, to me. In the moonlight, shadows are the most widespread and noticeable, giving her a natural advantage in almost any situation, seeing as she's (seemingly) nocturnal, most of the time.

Yami Yami no mi ('Dark Dark Fruit')

Allows the user to create and control darkness at will, enabling them many of the powers that a black hole has over gravity. They can suck in any number of objects around them, crush them, and then

expel them back out again at will.

It should go without saying that the king of darkness himself, King Sombra, would hold this fruit the best. He practically was darkness itself in his double episode appearance, already. This fruit, like Sombra, appears to be incredibly evil by nature, partly why I believe it fits Sombra better than Luna, though in a few aspects, Luna could wield it too (as better could Nightmare Moon).

Mera Mera no mi (Flame Flame Fruit)

Allows the user to manipulate, create and transform into fire at will, making them immune to heat and fire in the process. The user can also absorb existing fire by simply making contact with it via any part of body. 'Mera Mera' is a Japanese onomatopoeia of the noise fire makes when it burns.

Naturally, the spicy and flame colored-schemed Spitfire fits the tangy powers of the fire fruit the best. Her mane especially would flow so well with the fruits' powers, that all I can picture is her mane going from how it normally is, to suddenly burning as a flickering flame, all in a flawless motion.

Mero Mero no mi (Love Love Fruit)

Allows a range of attacks which use emotions of lust or perversion to transform opponents into stone, effectively giving users the ability to obliterate enemies after having subdued them with charms and false traps of leading on. "Mero mero" is an onomatopoeia of "to fall down drunk", including being overcome with emotion such as love or lust.

Though hardly the type to lead people on and then crush them (literally!), Cadence is the princess of love, and somehow I see her having a ruthless side for enemies and opponents who would dare harm Equestria, the Crystal Empire, or her Shiny. I mean hey, she did cause Sombra to explode :3

Ope Ope no mi (Op Op Fruit)

Allows the user to create a spherical space or "room", where the user has complete control over the placement and orientation of the objects inside, including intangible things like people's personalities, effectively making the person a near-warper of reality inside their "room". "Ope" comes from the word "Operation", as the space the user creates is compared to an "operating room" and the user to a surgeon.

One of the more noticeably powerful fruits that gives the user to do whatever they want, like a god in a sandbox, I felt this fruit would match Discord the best. Snapping his fingers, causing a large circular dome, and then shifting objects around, reattaching things to other things, levitation and even switching moods and personalities is practically what he does, already.

Mane Mane no mi (Clone Clone Fruit)

Allows the user to turn into a physical double of anyone he or she has touched, copying the appearance, voice and characteristics of the person perfectly. They can change to someone else by touching their face with their right hand and switch back to their normal state by touching their face with their left hand.

Naturally, Chrysalis, who's ability already matches that of turning into someone else, matches this fruits' ability. I admit, it'd be rather funny to see Chrysalis constantly poking the side of her face with her swiss-cheese hooves, in order to change into Cadence and other ponies.

Those are as many as I care to create xP At least at the moment. So yeah. If you're a One Piece fan, make yourself known, and give some ideas for others I didn't cover, yourself
