Wara Wara no Mi

The Wara Wara no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create and manipulate straw. It was eaten by Basil Hawkins.

Etymology

 * "Wara" (藁) means "straw".

Strengths and Weaknesses
The main strength of this fruit's power is that it allows the user to create and manipulate straw, and use it to a verity of applications, from creating living puppets, transforming damage done to the user, or strengthening the user.

The user can create voodoo dolls out of straw. These dolls can redirect a single damage inflicted to the user towards the person the dolls are linked to. The main weakness of this ability is that each doll can only take one hit before it is expended. The number of dolls the user has prepared beforehand would, therefore, determine how much damage they can redirect before they begin to suffer the damage themselves; rapid attacks, as proven Borsalino, could easily burn through the voodoo dolls in a short window of time.

Furthermore, the straws can be used to create a giant scarecrow-like entity, either by surrounding themselves with the straw or creating it externally, that serves as an avatar to fight for the user. The scarecrow can spit nails (similar to Franky) with such velocity that even opponents with quick reflexes like Zoro can be wounded by them.

Usage
Hawkins mainly keeps ten dolls within his body as a precaution, allowing him to take up to ten attacks unharmed. He can also form a giant scarecrow-like entity to fight on his behalf.

Named Techniques



 * 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 FUNimation dub and Demon Conquering Phase in the FUNimation subs.


 * Life Minus: As a precaution to keep himself from dying, Hawkins hide 10 straw dolls of his subordinates within him, where if he were to received a fatal attack, the damaged would be redirected to them instead and the amount of dolls in his body decrease as well. This was first used to protect himself from Kizaru’s attack.
