User:Kaido King of the Beasts/Draft Pages/Hawkins' Devil Fruit

Hawkins' Devil Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which allows the user to redirect any instances of physical damage inflicted upon him to another person using straw voodoo dolls,. It was eaten by Basil Hawkins.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The fruit's strength, as demonstrated by Hawkins, is that using the dolls leaves him unharmed but forces his victim to take damage amounting to what he would have. He was able to consecutively withstand a kick and a laser blast from Kizaru, the former having knocked him through a building. Whether the user can directly choose who receives the damage is unknown. After bodily damage is taken, voodoo dolls that represent the people who took the damage are shed from his body, showing the effects of the attack. The Devil Fruit also enables the user to transform into a giant scarecrow-like entity, resembling a giant voodoo doll, with metal nails functioning as claws/fingernails.

The weakness in this power is that does not spawn an infinite amount of voodoo dolls; it is unknown if the user has to make them himself or if a finite amount is created. This is noted when Hawkins told Kizaru that it was unwise for him to fight with a mere ten "men" (voodoo dolls). This implies that he can hold a larger number if need be. Each attack corresponds to a single doll, so if the user is hit more times than he has dolls to redirect the damage, he becomes just as vulnerable as an ordinary human. Rapid fire attacks and attacks that come in quick succession are especially potent. This is seen when Kizaru simply fired lasers through Hawkins' straw form at a rapid pace, burning through his remaining eight dolls in a matter of seconds. It also seems that the dolls' ability to transfer damage is limited only to bodily injury, as shown when Kizaru blinded Hawkins using intense light.

The scarecrow form also presents a significant weakness. Though the form grants the user greater strength and attack capabilities, the fruit is not a Logia, meaning the user will be affected as though their regular bodies were attacked. This means that using the form provides enemies with a much larger target, making it that much easier to exhaust the supply of voodoo dolls through repeat damage. The user also seems to revert to human form upon running out of dolls in battle, though this may be a conscious decision.

Attacks

 * Goma no So (降魔の相): Hawkins transforms into a giant scarecrow-like entity. He also resembles a voodoo doll seemingly made from straw, with metal nails functioning as claws/fingernails. According to Kizaru, his Devil Fruit is not a Logia, so he is still as vulnerable to damage as he is in human form, just with greater offensive capabilities. This was first seen used in the battle against Admiral Kizaru. This is called Demon Face in the Viz Manga and Demon Conquering Phase in the FUNimation subs.
