The evolution of a devil fruit power comes not from the power actually changing, but from the user getting stronger and more experienced, which makes them able to unlock more of their ability's potential. For the purposes of this site, a devil fruit user starts with a base ability that they have minimal control over and cannot be used to its full potential. There are four ranks at which the user gains a better understanding and control over their ability, which increases its possible uses and raw power. These "stages" are indicated below on the character ranking chart:
Ensign: 0 – 10 million (Stage 0) | Lieutenant:10 million – 30 million (Stage 1) | Commander:30 million – 50 million | Captain:50 million – 80 million (Stage 2) |
| Commodore:80 million – 100 million | Rear Admiral:100 million – 400 million (Stage 3) | Vice Admiral:400 million – 800 million | Admiral:800 million + (Stage 4) |
When filling out the template for a devil fruit, the progression will be split into these categories. Each additional stage you will be permitted to either add additional abilities, decrease the downsides of your character's lack of control over it, and generally just increase its power level and versatility. Note: You MAY choose to get only your Stage 0 approved, or you can get approval for as many stages as you want. This will save you the trouble of doing each stage later and possibly have some of your grand ambitions denied later down the road. The division of work is completely up to you, but waiting until later does have more risk for you.
