I was surprised we were getting more information on Killer and then I remembered it was One Piece and I was happy to have the opportunity.

Kind of makes it scarier for Zoro or Sanji though, because now there are non-death consequences if they fuck up and get caught by Kaido's people.

Chopper and/or Law is going to cure SMILES

it'll be the basis of Kid joining the alliance after they cure Killer

I personally want Killer and Ebisu town to stay SMILE'd, it gives them personality. Killer was probably the most boring of all the supernovas - but now he's got a little more color to him.

Also, it kinda cheapens the whole "tragedy" of SMILE if you can just cure it somehow. The only cure should be death.

i think leaving the whole town of ebisu permanently disabled is a bit dark for one piece standards.

It is dark, but I think its a really One Piece kind of dark that fits the world well and can be taken to in a good direction. I'd imagine the people of Ebisu town would ask to not be cured in the end even if it is possible, in honor of ol Hedgehog.

But yeah, I hope that it isnt curable, even if it'd be a good way to add relevance to all three Supernova's respective crews and giving a reason to add Kidd to the alliance.

This is One Piece so they are probably going to get cured. They will still smile though, but for real, after they defeat Kaido and Orochi. I'd be happy if they didn't do this, but it's to be expected from this kind of manga I guess. I don't really have a problem with it though. After all OP is all about the journey and the Strawhats making everyone happy and Luffy making his enemies/rivals become his friends (his most dangerous quality according to Mihawk).

Curing the negative side-effects of SMILE definitely seems like a good way to show Chopper's leveled up in the doctor department.

You guys realize that whatever they do to "cure" SMILE can also be transferable to normal devil fruits? How lame would it be if you could remove the negative side effects of fruits? Or even remove them from the person altogether, without killing them.

The negative effects of SMILE are because its a failed artificial Devil Fruit. So I don't see why curing the effects of a failed Artifical Fruit would be transferable to normal Devil Fruit users. Almost literally apples to oranges.

Who knows? In One Piece medicine is treated as if it is magical powers.

Their emotions are unchanged anyways. It is only their facial expresion which has changed.

they arent that different though, if you think of it like they ate the smile-smile fruit that makes them enver stop smiling

even though the effect is worthless, they still seem to function exactly like a devil fruit so if it can be "cured" then it could mean they could remove a normal devil fruit

and then there also IS a group of people removing peoples devil fruits so its not like its impossible

They mostly don’t function like devil fruits though, normal devil fruits don’t have a large percentage chance to just not give you a superpower but give you all of the negative side effects. Not to mention they don’t mess with your capacity for expressing emotion.

Curing a science made poor quality devil fruit wouldnt directly correlate to normal devil fruits, but considering where we are in OPs story, I think there’s a serious chance that it might just because we gotta wrap these story threads up some time soon, right?

There's no story reason that we'd need to 'cure' regular devil fruits though.

But the origin of devil fruits might be linked to smile?

No, but curing fake ones offers the opportunity to go into the mechanics of devil fruits from the sciencey perspective. It might be a way they wind into whatever weird mystical bullshit that Blackbeard does to negate the multi devil fruit drawback.

I mean, they could've kept Devil Fruits as more of a magical thing, but I feel like the SMILE story importance means we'll probably get into their more scientific (at least OP scientific) mechanics.

Oda has stated a long time ago (back in an SBS in Volume 48) that:

For more detail, you'll just have to wait for a certain professor to make his appearance in the story, and explain exactly what the Devil Fruits REALLY are... Eventually.


So we should expect Vegapunk to tell us everything... eventually.
