This is a great thought provoking question..I just saw this online but no one answered it, im really interested since its such a unique question and very weird
Isn't there really only one option? The person who eats the first bite gets the power that was established awhile back. The Mother would get the powers. It'd be neat if the baby could get residuals of the power, for instance say a mom ate the mera mera it'd be neat if the kid was able to produce mini flames.It's an intriguing question, but in the end there are only three possibilities: the mother, the child or both. The 2nd option can pretty much be discarded completely as it has been explained that one bite is enough to gain the power of a DF and that you can throw the rest away. So it's kinda nonsensical that when the mother takes one bite, it goes to her stomach and that the powers soon should be active, somehow the child would have gotten preference over the mother. It makes no sense, so it's pretty much a given that the mother will be affected by the DF.
Now that then still leaves the matter of whether it's only the mother or also the child. If for example she would have the power of a logia and someone tries to injure her belly, well normally a logia would just let it pass through and regenerate, but what happens then to the child? Though this can be solved by stating that as long as the child is still connected to the mother, the DF affects it. However from the moment the child is born and gets disconnected, that influence is over as I think there is little doubt that if someone asks Oda this, he's going to answer that mother will have the powers of the DF.
It's easy. The pregnant gets the power of the DF. Not her baby. The question that should be asked is would the baby get hurt if his mother as a DF user activated her DF?It's been stated at some point that if multiple people eat part of the same fruit, whoever eats part first gets all the powers, regardless of how much they eat. By that token, you would assume the Mom could get the powers without any effect on the kid.
Hopefully she doesnt get a Logia. or Zoan. Or some Paramecia's. those would go bad for the kid.
I would say no because at that point it's still a part of her body in that regard. I think an interesting question would be if the baby could acquire traits of the DF but not the whole power of the fruit. Say a mom ate the Mera Mera could the kid handle high temps? Could the kid produce a very limited amount of fire too? etc.It's easy. The pregnant gets the power of the DF. Not her baby. The question that should be asked is would the baby get hurt if his mother as a DF user activated her DF?
