Can you explain what they ' re doing ? i don ' t play Castle Wars myself and i ' m not sure what is going on at this point . P <| sep |> The best ever . <| sep |> It is not confirmed that is exactly the way it works , but for now it is our best guess . The instances we know of a DF user dying and the fruit reappearing are 1 . Smiley and gis Fruit going into the Apple 2 . Whitebeard , and his Fruit then somehow being eaten by Blackbeard 3 . Aces Fruit which reappeared during Dressrosa . Blackbeard is the most interesting here . He planned the whole thing , so that means Devilfruit reappearing is most liekyl predictable unless he did some kind of magic during the time under the curtain . It ' s also likely that DFs always spawn in the same type of fruit , and go into the nearest of that type . That would explain why there was a random cart of apples on PH , because Caeser planned on gettgin the fruit back . It would also explain how Doffy and BB got their on hands on Aces and Whitebeards fruit and how there can be a book about Devilfruits . In the end , it ' s just a theory , and not the most solid one either , but probably the best explanation of the imo rather obvious foreshadowing that we have .
