We know that Kairoseki nullifies the Devil Fruit powers and sea immobilizes the Devil Fruit users. So hypothetically, what will happen if a Devil Fruit user tries to swim while he/she is in contact with Kairoseki?

    Why the '-1'? I don't know it, and just asking if anyone out there knows. Is it that bad of a question that it gets down voted in minutes. – Abhilash Vedwan Dec 22 '13 at 04:54
  • I didn't -1, but I also don't understand your question. Why wouldn't they drown? It seems pretty obvious to me that they would unless I'm missing something. – Logan M Dec 22 '13 at 04:58
  • @LoganM Well kairoseki completely nullifies the devil fruit aspect of a user, then shouldn't the drowning curse be nullified too. Its just a thought that's why I am asking whether someone knows about it?? – Abhilash Vedwan Dec 22 '13 at 05:16
  • @AbhilashK Two negatives don't make a positive (in this case). See [this question](http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/5713/why-is-kairosekis-effect-more-powerful-than-the-sea) for an more indepth explaination of what Kairoseki is. Exposing a Devil Fruit user is alike exposing them to the see, putting them in the ocean has no added effect. – кяαzєя Dec 22 '13 at 06:08
  • @Krazer I gave one of those 3 answers. It is stated that they don't have same wavelengths; only similar, thus the effects would be different, kairoseki negates the power and sea immobilizes them. However nothing is mentioned about their combination. – Abhilash Vedwan Dec 22 '13 at 06:17
  • @Krazer As for the kairoseki, it only works after direct contact with the user him/herself, not with the object they created, or effect they are causing. – Abhilash Vedwan Dec 22 '13 at 06:19
  • @AbhilashK If you have a set of cuffs that makes your whole body a cold as if it was in a blizzard and you put them inside a blizzard, they'd still be a cold if they were in a blizzard. – кяαzєя Dec 22 '13 at 06:20
  • @Krazer I don't understand the metaphor and the meaning you are trying to say, sorry but please explain. :( – Abhilash Vedwan Dec 22 '13 at 06:25
  • @AbhilashK It's an analogy. If I have an item that simulates being in situation (e.g, freezing in a blizzard) and put myself in the actual situation as the effect from the item, I'd still be freezing in a blizzard. – кяαzєя Dec 22 '13 at 06:32

  • @Krazer But what if another item removes the effect of freezing altogether, then being in a blizzard should have no effect. – Abhilash Vedwan Dec 22 '13 at 06:37
  • @AbhilashK - Have a look at [my answer](http://anime.stackexchange.com/a/6509/1604) for the original question which made you ask this question. The effects of Kairoseki and Sea are almost the same. There is not enough evidence to prove that they affect a DF user different, thus, answering this question as, *No, they can't swim in water even if they are in direct contact with Kairoseki*. – Rahul Dec 22 '13 at 11:56

They can't. The Sea Stone drains the Devil Fruit user's body of energy rendering them unable to move (as if they were paralyzed), and negates their Devil Fruit powers (but not the cursed side effects). This is the same effect as if they were exposed to the ocean. Since they can't move or breathe underwater without special assistance, they will ultimately drown.
