Ishi Ishi no Mi

The Ishi Ishi no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to absorb, manipulate and merge with stone, making the user a Stone Assimilation Human (岩石同化人間). "Ishi" (石) means "stone" in Japanese. It was consumed by Pica.

This fruit is not to be confused with a Logia-class power, as the user cannot transform their body parts into stone, nor generate it from their own body.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The Devil Fruit's primary ability is the power to merge and assimilate with any form of stone. This allows the user to take control of anything made of stone that they come in contact with. In Pica's case, he can control Donquixote Doflamingo's castle as if it were his own body, as it is entirely made of stone. It appears that the strength of this particular fruit is directly proportional to the amount of stone in the user's environment. Because of this, at sufficient amounts, the user can withstand having pieces of their body destroyed to no end.

One weakness of the fruit is that the user needs to be merged with the stone to control it, as seen when Pica's real body emerges from the stone giant, the giant stopped moving. Because this power is not Logia, the user's body does not transform into stone, but instead resides within it, and that portion is as vulnerable as any normal person. The user is also vulnerable against the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Pica can use this ability to merge with any construct made of stone, hiding himself and taking complete control of the area as if it was an extension of his own body. He has complete control of Doflamingo's entire palace, since it is made entirely of stone, causing the hallways to close together and shifting the walls. Because he can assimilate with the stone of the castle, he can constantly allow his body parts to be destroyed with no harm to himself, and simply regenerate by assimilating with more stone in mere seconds. It also allows him to travel through the stone quickly, moving from one location to another in short amounts of time.

Once Sugar fainted and the entire Dressrosa rebelled, Pica used his ability to take control of the entire island's layout, as the kingdom is on top of a rocky terrain, which allows him to transform the landscape such as moving the entire palace, shifting the elevation of the SMILE Factory and increasing the range of the Flower Field at the cost of other regions. He can even merge with the stone of the entire island to gain a body of tremendous size, on par with special giants like Oars or even Sanjuan Wolf.

Attacks

 * Pulpo Stone: After assimilating with a large foundation of stone, Pica produces tentacles out of the stone and have them converge on the target in an attempt to crush them. This was first attempted to crush Zoro, but was avoided. "Pulpo" is the Spanish word for "octopus".
