If you go to an island that is under the storm

Nobody likes the storm, why would they wanna sail to an island...Tho, it be cool if Rare did something like this but over a fruit?

The point is to add depth and counterplay to the idea of "cheating death" beyond the traditional method of praying that Hitreg favors you.

5 seconds for a fruit to kill or revive you isn't much time for 'adding depth and counterplay'. Even then, I always tell players never give up, as anything can happen in a fight. Eating this just to send yourself to the ferry doesn't make sense in combat, and is unfair to those who successfully killed their opponent.

Why would anyone eat this then if it causes death?
because if death occurs before the timer goes off, it revives the player. Risk Vs reward

Player boards my ship and starts stealing my supplies and/or treasure item. I attack/defend, he's close to death and eats this thing. I kill him and he comes back to life, kills me, and takes off with whatever he wants? No thanks.

See your enemy munching on a charged shockfruit? Stop tying to kill them, the shockfruit will instead.

I explained exactly what the counter to your example was in the original post: stall for time, jump around the ship and eat food, watch him self-electrocute.

So he boards my ship just to die by his own hand is what you're saying. Or, if he eats and I kill him, he gets a free rez (and kills me). Again, what's the point?

Edit: Buying merchant supply crates gives enough risk vs. reward in this game, as it's no guarantee she gives you what you've purchased.
