Hira Hira no Mi

The Hira Hira no Mi is a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows the user to turn things into flags, making the user a Flag Human (旗（フラッグ）人間). "Hirahira" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for flapping. It was eaten by Diamante.

Strengths and Weaknesses
This fruit allows the user to make anything the user touches to flatten like a flag and still retain its natural characteristics like its toughness, strength and sharpness, but the weight is drastically reduced to the same as a flag. It also allows the user to reform anything into different forms and shapes. He is also able to change his shape into a flag.

This fruit does not seem to have any specific weaknesses, aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Diamante has been seen using a cape made from a steel block as a shield as well as reshaping his sword into the form of a bull's head. He can also hide a mace by flattening it into a medal, and folding it up. He has also shown to be able to flatten his entire body into a flag-like state, allowing him to safely float when falling.

Attacks

 * Lock (ロック): Diamante returns whatever he has flattened to its natural properties after he has changed its shape. Diamante first used this technique to change the shape of his sword.
 * Corrida Glaive (闘牛（コリーダ）グレイブ): Diamante uses his sword and flattens it to reform and fold it in the form of a bull's head, effectively forming a stylised mace, which he uses to strike his opponent.

Trivia

 * This fruit is very similar to the Choki Choki no Mi since objects manipulated by the user gain flexibility without compromising any structural fortitude.
 * The word "hira" means "diamond" in Urdu and Hindi, which fits with the name of the fruit's current user.
 * It is ironic that the Hira Hira no Mi, a fruit which gives the power to flex things, has been eaten by Diamante, since diamonds are the hardest thing existing in nature.
