if in the start me up i get something that lets me start with devil fruit do i have to consume the devil fruit or can I start with it in my possession?

You can keep it for later, or even trade it to another player character. Also you should join our Discord. We have a help desk channel on Discord where we usually recommend players ask questions.

Hello there,

Welcome to Revival Dawn!

Like Lu Shang already mentioned, you can indeed save your devil fruit for later consumption (or trade) if you wish. You can also trade down to a different Starting Bonus if you'd prefer.

Also, as Lu Shang mentioned, I highly recommend you join the Discord server. It is a lot easier to interact with your fellow players there. You can let me know what you decide to do with your roll there!
