I know this was discussed a little on chat, but I wanted to throw this out there as an option; one of the characters could be from a different time, before the current story line (such as during or before Roger's time), have that character die (gloriously) and allow the DF to grow again and be eaten by the other. This way, both can have the fruit and potentially create amazing stories to go along with it (such as a fights with Whitebeard, Garp in his prime, even Roger himself).
