Hey guys, sorry for my disappearance. I've been home sick lately with HFMD. It's been a pretty miserable few days. I'm still not better yet, but the symptoms have died down enough to the point where all I have to worry about are sores in the back of my throat and an itch pretty much everywhere else. xD 

As for the Ink power, yes he would be able to create bladed weapons I think. I like to think of it as something similar to Mr. 3's Wax-Wax Fruit. He can produce an endless amount of the substance and can make it take any shape he wants, including hardened spikes and such.

He'd also be closer to the status of bounty hunter than pirate, so I don't think there'd be a problem on the marine side of things.

And finally, I agree with you about the Admirals. one Logia, one Paramecia, one Zoan and then the Fleet Admiral has nothing. I always did think that the pre-timeskip Admirals were oversaturated with Logia types. Though I did appreciate that Sengoku had a Zoan fruit, which I feel like has always been rather underrepresented in the series. xD Usually, Zoan fruit users aren't as strong as many other Paramecia/Logia users in their arc. The only noteworthy ones being Sengoku, Marco, Lucci and Jack. Maybe you can consider Jabra and Kaku...but eh. And maybe X-Drake, but I've yet to see him do anything interesting so. xD

Anyway. Here's an idea I had though:

What if one of the Admirals, the Zoan one, has another of the Ryu Ryu no Mi models? It would give Ryu a particular, power rival he wants to beat a la Zoro/Mihawk, and it would imply that he received it from the Admiral that destroyed the Dragon Island.
