Why aren't devil fruit users incapacitated every time they eat food with salt in it (i.e. almost any food)? The rationale for it working against zombies is that it has the same effect the sea does against devil fruit users.

Salt granted power from the sea > Zombie granted power from a devil
Salt granted power from the sea < A devil
The sea > A devil

Because One Piece has the best world building in anime. Checkmate hunterfags

Maybe because the weakness is specific to Moriahs fruit because of how it fundamentally works?

That aside, I'm sure the amount of salt they need to put into the zombies mouth is WAY more than one would consume in an average meal.

Because Oda didn't care

same reason breathing in vapour from the open seas on a hot day doesn't weaken them.

Because One Piece is dumb as fuck sometimes. The same stupid asspull with devil fruit powers happened in Dressrosa. Apparently you only need to get Sugar pass out for her powers to stop working, but somehow her power stay on every night when she falls asleep even though she loses conciousness in both situations. Snd never before or after have a devil fruit users powers stopped working when they lose conciousness.
Anyways, it'd dumb and don't let anyone convince you very frequent bullshit like that in OP makes sense. I still like OP tho.

probably the same reason they can sweat and not power themselves off, or that they aren't constantly nerfed by the salt already present in their blood which all humans have
because that would be stupid and break the magic system making devil fruits effectively useless

While it's all random shonen asspulls anyway, you can think of it as: a full DF user is stronger than some zombie. Furthermore, the salt is affecting the bond,not the zombie.
>real reason: it's a play on real world salt superstition
>in-world: The bond of a human to a DF is strong, so they merely can't swim, the bond of a zombie to a DF that isn't theirs is even weaker.

It's not salt that gvies the sea it's power over devilfrutis, it's a substance called pyrobloin, same material sea stone is made of. Salt is probably reminiscent of that.

Because Brook's explanation is just a stupid bullshit cope. The real reason that salt effects Moria's zombies is that salt effecting evil spirits and zombies is a popular superstitious idea, and this metatextual concept is the foundation for their weakness. Writers, myself included, often get hung up on justifying these types of gags with science, but in reality, it's just pulp fiction bullshit.

What does salt have to do with it? What?

Salt is a uniquely zombie weakness. It had zero effect on Moria or other DF users themselves.

Why hasn't Vegapunk invented planes when his tech is 500 years ahead of everywhere else?
How did Buggy know what a car is?
How did Buffalo know about propellers?

What are you confused about? The relebant page is right there in the OP.
Gecko Moria's devil fruit power of animating zombies is broken by salt because it has the same crippling effect over devil fruit users that seawater and seastone do. Yet Luffy and other devil fruit users eat salt all the time with no effect even though a single touch of seastone is enough to make Luffy collapse to the ground (let alone him swallowing something like seastone which should be even more crippling than mere contact through his fingers).

>Salt is a uniquely zombie weakness. It had zero effect on Moria or other DF users themselves.
The explanation in the manga says:
>The source of the zombie's ability to move is originally the devil's fruit.
>Since the salt holds the power of the sea it undoes the bond between the false soul and the corpse.
That doesn't sound limited to zombies. It sounds like it's effective on zombies exactly because it's carrying the essence of sewater that impacts devil fruit power.

Brook says that. He's not a DF scientist or a scientist at all and your idea that eating salt should have any sort of effect on DF users got BTFO because your believed his superstitious horseshit.

The manga is full of this nonsense like the animals in Long Ring Land growing extra tall and gangly and some old man explaining it's because they experience extra freedom. Yet the native resident himself is short as shit. It's just the idiots trying to explain what they can't.

Brook's pretty smart though.

Ive not really read One Piece in a decade+
Does anyone just fill a few tanks up with seawater and just hose down enemy fruit users in battle
Seems like an easy way to incapacitate annoying powerful foes and its cheaper and more plentiful than that seastone stuff

He literally doesn't have a brain.

Waves and splashes don't affect devil fruit users.

This. To answer OP, Sea Water isn’t like a poison to them, they just become hammers, lose their ability to swim. A splash wouldn’t do anything and everyone who’s been arguing this salt thing is a fuckin moron
