Stand, because with my personality I can only assume it would be awesome.

I only know of the Devil Fruits thanks to the Pirate Warriors games. I don't know what Stand is at all or if it's even from the same media. I know that Devil Fruit causes the loss of ability to swim in the ocean. >_>

Probably a Stand.

You lose the ability to swim with Devil Fruit powers, and being able to swim may save my life one day.

Stand would be better because even a shitty ability is a net positive because you most likely have a spooky manipulable ghost person, while a shitty fruit means you have a garbage ability and cannot swim.

That's exactly how I know mine would be awesome. Because my personality is literally just lovebombing until I wear myself out.

Stand, but some Devil Fruits would win out if they didn't give the sea weakness.

as far as I can tell, there's not really any correlation between a character's personality and their stand

ELI5 me on devil fruits
You eat a Devil Fruit and get a random superpower. The 3 categories of abilities are animal based transformations, the ability to turn your body into an element or the ability to control or change stuff. There is only one of each Devil Fruit, so if you eat it then someone else cant have the same ability. But after you die that Devil Fruit will appear again somewhere in the world

Some extremely powerful people eventually reach the point where their Devil Fruit awakens and allows them to use their ability to its highest potential. Thats beyond rare though. The trade off for eating a Devil Fruit is that youll never be able to swim again (you cant move if youre submerged in water) and theres a material called sea stone that can paralyze you if it touches you.

If you eat a second you die. There may be one exception, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.

Eating a second fruit causes you to explode, or so says one guy. Though Blackbeard did get two powers, but not by eating a second fruit, he stole it from Whitebeard.

This.

Getting a Stand is a gamble because unless you're a main character you can end up getting one that actually kills you to activate. Or one that traps you in an electrical pylon until someone strolls by.

How often do you even go in water , giving up swimming for super powers seems pretty nice if you could choose which devil fruit you consume. Getting Aokiji's ice ice fruit would be amazingly useful. Keep cool in the summer, and dont feel the cold. Can't swim? Meh freeze the surface of the ocean to cross it if needed.

It weakens over time but in parts 3-5 some of them are very, very obviously a result of the owner's personality. Sex pistols design especially is obviously a result of Mista's hangup with a certain number.

I'd rather have a stand. There's a good chance it would be a shity one, but at least I would still be able to swim.

I can't remember anything cool about stands other than they're good for beating people up. Devil fruits seem to have more universal applications, at least.

I could be way wrong about that though.

yeah, a few of them. most of them really just bear no relation to the user's personality, and some of them are even contradictory

On one hand, Stands in general are cooler and more powerful, and you could become ridiculously powerful.

On the others some Stands are so bad they kill or trap you, or are practically useless.

Devil Fruits are in general, either ok, or very powerful, like stupid powerful, like Sugar's ability to turn you into a toy with a touch, and erase all memory of you from literally everyone.

The least powerful Devil Fruit I can think of are like...the Jacket fruit that allows you to be worn like a suit and you can control whoever wears you. Or generic Zoans, but even that is a great physical boost, so it's like, about on par with a mediocre stand.

Yeah, I'll go with Devil Fruit, but that is a tough choice.

Stands are from the series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. They're sort of like manifesting your soul as a battle ghost. In terms of powers, a stand generally gets one or two abilities and the power/range/etc depends on the stand. So you could have a long range stand that can attack someone with a bomb from across town, but you can't control it directly. Or you can have a stand that literally stops time, but it can't move more than a meter past your body. Stand abilities can be literally anything physical or even conceptual. Some do basic things like make fire. Others convert words into reality so spelling out "HEAVY" would make something in an area heavy. There are stands to let you rewrite people's memories, including adding instructions they must follow, stands that can remove concepts like "sound" from an area, stands that regenerate people, or convert matter to different matter, or turn you into a velociraptor, or pull alternate reality versions of people into your universe that cause both versions to die of they touch each other, etc.
