If Brook nullified Moriah's Devil Fruit power with salt, does this mean no
Devil Fruit user can eat salt?

question
one-piece
Are Devil Fruit users weak to salt?


No, this is just the special weakness of that particular Devil Fruit.

I mean, Luffy eats everything, nearly everywhere. And in the most dishes there
is salt, or how do you cook you spaghetti?

Another instance to prove my opinion is that Luffy had gone underwater several
times and had nearly drowned. In the process, he also "ate" salt, but it had
no effect, like losing his Devil Fruit power.

I don't remember which episode it was, but Sanji especially collected salt for
the ship kitchen. So I don't think it is the issue. Salt harm is zombie
specific, not devil-fruit eaters. Not everything connected to the sea is bad
:)

If it were to be true then Luffy would also be unable to eat fish and I think
they would contain a fair amount of salt. So yeah, salt should be fine in a
Devil Fruit user's diet

The curse will only take effect on sea water, not on something taken/extracted
from the sea (which naturally includes salt). Remember in Water 7 episode,
where Sanji was challenged by an old man to find the secret ingredient of his
_fried rice_? And the secret spice is actually the SALT, which was visible
remain after the cataclysm of Aqua Laguna.

And so it was, Sanji applied the _new SALT_ to his cooking, and all Luffy's
crew were astonished by the new flavour.

Note: Salt is generally used to symbolize purification so it was used to
express the release of the curse of this Devil Fruit.

1.Luffy loves fun and the meat doesn't spoil. They would need salt to preserve
there meat as pirates especially on the first less developed ship.

  2. Ace and Luffy would have died by food. What better way to killed two famous pirates who love food than by poisoning their food?

  3. Somebody would have warned Luffy in chapter 1 like about swimming. 

  4. Each fruit has it's own individual weakness and strengths. Like fire < water, fire > smoke

  5. Luffy touched a Seastone that had to have salt on it.

  6. Luffy has fallen in water and most likely seawater at least once.

So I conclude that salt does not effect all Devil Fruit users.
