The sea stone, which is the weakness of devil fruit users, was said to have
the same power as the ocean, and it was said that the sea rejected the devil
fruit users. I understand that devil fruit users can't swim, but if they were
standing in a river or fresh water of any sort, would they still lose all
their strength and be unable to do anything? I tried to search for it, but
they closed it and archived it, so can anyone help please?

question
one-piece
would devil fruit users be affected in fresh water


According to wiki there is a nice explanation about weakness of [Devil
fruit](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Devil_Fruit). I would like to highlight
few points which might help you.

> Oda stated in an [SBS](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS) that Devil Fruit
> users are susceptible to all types of water, not just seawater.
>
> This includes the white sea surrounding Skypiea. He elaborated on this,
> saying that "moving" water, like rain or waves, does not weaken Devil Fruit
> users, while standing water does. This was also shown first when Monkey D.
> Luffy was in the Dance-Powder induced rain and did not feel his power
> slipping away, and again when on Zou, the sea water that Zunisha used to
> shower did not affect him despite being sea water as it was "moving" water.

So the main conclusion which is given in wiki that:

**Devil Fruit user will not be restricted in the water if he or she is not
physically touching the water.**

So according to me it might affect as long as devil fruit users are physically
touching them.
