There is a question regarding [the respawn time of regular Devil Fruits
(DF)](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/13660/how-long-does-devil-
fruit-take-to-re-spawn-after-the-death-of-user?rq=1), but I am interested in
the possibility of creating an immortal army using the same one-time DF,
namely the _Ope Ope no Mi_ and the _Yomi Yomi no Mi_.

The _Ope Ope no Mi_ can perform the "Perennial Youth Operation" which kills
the DF user and gives eternal youth (and so potentially eternal life) to the
subject. The _Yomi Yomi no Mi_ enables the soul of the user to return to his
body **after his death**.

Does the _Ope Ope no Mi_ respawn after the Perennial Youth Operation (the
user's death) or after the death of the operated person? Does the _Yomi Yomi
no Mi_ respawn after the "First" death or after the soul leaves this world
forever?

At least for the _Ope Ope no Mi_ there is no body left to contain the fruit's
powers and after Doflamingo wanted to become immortal by Rosinante eating the
fruit and performing the operation, the powers can not be stored in the
operated person's body.

Could one create an army of immortals using one of this DFs?

question
one-piece
When do "immortal" Devil Fruits respawn?


No, these fruits cannot create an immortal army, they are not designed with
that in mind. Even after giving someone eternal youth, that is all he will
get, he will just remain "young" forever. Anyone will still be able to kill
the user in a fight, he may die to an accident etc. The same applies Yomi Yomi
no Mi, you get another life but you are not immortal. Also, even if someone
has the Yomi Yomi no mi, and his head gets cut there is no body to return,
because he will die again immeditally.

Ope Ope no Mi respawns after the users death (the one who eat the fruit)
because the person who gained eternal life has no "connection" with the fruit
itself.

Actually, you got it wrong. The Ope Ope no Mi only gives eternal youth, and
the Yomi Yomi no Mi gives 1 extra shot at life and it's not as overpowered as
it sounds.

If you were to perform the eternal surgery on someone like Makino, she would
just live forever and wouldn't become stronger or invincible. She would just
get the ability to never die from old age.

It's the same with the Yomi Yomi fruit, which only gives you an extra life.
For instance, if you drown because you ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi, a devil fruit,
when your soul comes back you will just drown again and then be dead for good.
It doesn't give you any extra power.
