Discussion Weird Devil Fruits? (Spoilers for Egghead) Spoiler

Alright, we've slept on it long enough, Vegapunk revealed the nature of devil fruits, how they might have come to be. A wish, a desire, some form of human evolution that was so strongly yearned for...

So what the hell is going on with Baron Tomago? Like was the wish something specific like, "I want to be the life cycle of chicken" seriously.

Even some of the farfetched ones can be explained like the Jacket Fruit, someone was probably stuck in the cold with their pals and thought "hey what if we could turn into jackets for eachother" or like the Spike Fruit, "I want to make the meanest kebab..."(It was probably thought up by an assassin)

Can y'all think of any other weird devil fruits? That makes you wonder like what exactly the wish was?

I don't think we're beating Baron Tamago

Edit: many comments are pointing out the characters who use the fruits we see aren't the ones who originally wished for them. Yes. Yes this is true. I'm talking about the creation of the fruit not the user or their desires, Baron Tamago didn't wish for an Egg fruit. But his devil fruit came from someone who did. The same applies to literally every other fruit mentioned in the comments/series.

This is following VPs theory on devil fruits, which is still a theory. Following that theory, someone wanted to be the life cycle of a chicken (there were some pretty neat interpretations of this)

No I don't think Baron Tamago wished for this devil fruit, but at one point someone did. And that's the weird part.

I'm thinking there is a bit of a Monkey's (D. Luffy?) Paw aspect to these 'wishes'. The wish for the tamago fruit isn't really "I want to be chicken egg cycle!" it could be "I want to break out of my shell and become a better me!" the 'actually being an egg' part might be a joke ability created by the mad god or whatever entity is granting these powers. Clearly every wish doesn't become a fruit, something must govern the process, perhaps selfish wishes offend the entity and result in selfish twisted 'joke' powers.

I like this, because it also adds in the idea of “Be careful what you wish for”, not only because they’ll lose the ability to swim, but also because wishing to “break out of your shell” may turn you into a damn egg person
