[ITP: cake. What did you expect?]

[theninquisition]

[Has just finished baking like 20 cakes and 30 pies and a bazillion smaller pastries 'n donut type things. Takes off the apron he borrowed and folds it over a chair to be cleaned later and dusts himself off. Pulls on his topcoat and goes outside to hang a banner that says "Welcome New Arrivals" on the bulletin board outside the messhall

[Looks alarmed and maybe like he might try to shank you.]

--!

[moveurdeadfros]

Oh goodness... would you happen to be the maker of these fine pastries, sir?

[theninquisition]

I would be, yes. What sort of devilry is this?

[moveurdeadfros]

Not devilry young master, Devil Fruits! An item from my world, that, pardon-
*LOUD BURP GOES HERE.*
- grants whomsoever devours one an ability... in my case, the ability to defy death. The ability of resurrection!

[theninquisition]

[...okay I don't have the icons for it yet, but the shanks foot-long switchblades are totally coming out.]

The ability to defy death?

[moveurdeadfros]

... I have a feeling I just committed a rather grevious faux pas. Is there any chance we can have this conversation without sharp implements, young master?

[theninquisition]

. . . I cannot say I would be comfortable with that.

[moveurdeadfros]

... Veeery well then. In that case would you be so kind as to refrain using them as long as it takes for me to explain in greater detail what a Devil Fruit is?!

*All that? Said in one very quick breath.*

[theninquisition]

[Nods] Please explain.

[moveurdeadfros]

The Devil Fruits is... not really connected to anything demonic, it is simply a name given to them for their properties! They are fruits who simply provide whomever eats them with a supernatural ability which can be anything, really! The power to turn into an animal, to stretch like rubber, or in my case, to grant the soul the power to return to the body after it has been severed from it! And as for why I look the way I do my fruit has the sideeffect of simply... reviving your body. No matter what condition it is in when your soul find it's way back to you!

[theninquisition]

Then that... is your own body? Not that of a loved one...

[moveurdeadfros]

... While I do think of myself as a loveable person, I would not go so far as to say that I love myself. Sooo no. Not a loved one.

[theninquisition]

Ah... You're not an Akuma then. [Maybe.]

[Reluctantly hides the shanks back in his sleeves.]

[moveurdeadfros]

Akuwhat?

[theninquisition]

A kind of weapon meant for destroying humanity.
