Convergent Devil is a ''Manga/OnePiece'' fanfiction written by [=Epsilon110=] WhatIf story found on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn where [[FandomSpecificPlot Luffy ate a different devil fruit]], specifically, the [[{{Animorphism}} Mogi-Mogi Fruit]]. It can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/37723147/chapters/94177561 here]].

!This fic contains examples of:
* AdaptationalCurves: Alvida is far more muscular than she canonically was after eating the Slip-Slip Fruit, with the author stating that the fruit merely got rid of her fat rather than the muscle built up from swinging her heavy iron mace around.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Robin joins the Straw Hats while they're still in the East Blue, rather than first meeting them at Whiskey Peak.
* AdaptationalExplanation: In canon, there's no real explanation for why Alvida believes the only difference eating her devil fruit caused was getting rid of her freckles besides possibly just being extremely delusional. Here, it's stated to be a side effect of her devil fruit to prevent extreme body dysphoria over suddenly weighing roughly one tenth as much as before.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Rather than a RubberMan, Luffy can mimic the body parts of any animal he's eaten. He's particularly fond of beetles and crustaceans for their exoskeletons and impressive strength.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike canon where Arlong merely shot Bell-mere in the head, here he had her shot in the stomach and tied to a cross in the middle of town so everyone had to watch her slowly die. Then Arlong ordered her body to be left to rot, with anyone attempting to take her down beaten. Nami was forced to buy her mother's body back just so she could get a burial.
* AmazonianBeauty: Alvida is just as beautiful as she was in canon after eating her Devil Fruit, but is now explicitly much more muscular than before.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** Captain Morgan is executed for his crimes.
** Kuro doesn't survive his battle against the Straw Hats.
