Why does Magellan eat poison?

Answered

The answer

Chapter 528 · updated

Magellan eats poison because it is his favorite food as a poison man. In the office he explains that the poison soup eaten for breakfast had hit the spot and required a trip to the restroom. When Hannibal notes that eating poison caused the runs, Magellan replies with the saying fight poison with poison. He states outright that poison is his favorite food because he is a poison man. The Doku Doku Fruit grants him this nature, allowing him to consume toxins without harm while others suffer. This habit appears only as a brief personal detail during the meeting with visitors and does not connect to any battle tactic or power usage shown elsewhere.
