In a 2014 interview, Oda explained how his creation of the devil fruits as a story concept was inspired by the many wishes in everyday life to be able to do things that our current human bodies don't allow us to #OnePiece

"Inherited Will. People's Dreams. The Swell of An Era. As long as people continue to seek the answer of freedom, these things ...will never cease to be"
"The Sun God Nika. As long as people continue to wish for him, his existence ...will never be erased"

TRANSLATION CLARIFICATION: In the Japanese version, Vegapunk does NOT directly confirm that devil fruits were literally born from people's wishes and dreams, but rather that people dreaming to evolve further led to their creation. How that happened is still very vague (1/6)
254
In 2007, Oda said that when we would meet Vegapunk, he would tell us the truth about devil fruits. That moment is RIGHT NOW. What a time to be a One Piece fan 🥲
