Set the template properly, as that's really important to give some relevance to your application and make people think you're actually determined to obtain this Devil Fruit.
Improve your background as well. It is good, I like how simple and understandable it is, but there are a few grammar mistakes. Also, try to make the reason a bit more legitimate, like for example, don't say the elder of the village just gave him the fruit, say he gave your character more supplies to sustain himself. Basically, think a bit more, perhaps make your background more constructive. Just develop. It's not hard, is it?
Take your time! And just edit the main post, instead of creating a new one.
EDIT: I'd also prefer you to add the new template with the "RP Example" requirement! If you don't want to, it's fine, but just because you made the application before I added in the new code.
