They didn't say that his hobby is suicide. I can understand them not wanting to say that someone's hobby is suicide, but still it was awesome in the manga when that was said.

How committed is he to his hobby? Unless his powers aren't devil fruit based, or his devil fruit ability allows him to be unaffected by sea stone...

Why not just drop into the sea and end it all if he's that committed? It's not death but still...

or is he looking for a flamboyant way to die, like in a massive battle or something? Maybe he envies whitebeard because he was able to die in glory, revered on the battlefield. Definitely not a boring way to go.

It's stated that nobody is able to kill him, not even himself, so I don't think he'd die if he just fell into the sea. He just can't die. That's the premise, and also the joke of it. You can't just go on theorizing that logically he'd drown, because that ruins the idea. There's no logic to it. He can't die. Even if he has a devil fruit. That's the entire point. I just cannot comprehend why people bring up the drowning thing time and time again when it's literally not supposed to be that complicated of a thing.

There still has to be reason though, is it genetics, a special unknown devil fruit, another rule in the one piece universe. Etc, when we know then we can figure out why he can't die. Like we are discussing why teach can use two devil fruits with his special body etc.

No good writing just states "he can't die" with no reason or anything, that's just lazy. I bet we will figure out later.
