Sui Sui no Mi

The Sui Sui no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to swim in the ground or walls, making the user a Free-Swimming Human (遊泳自由人間). It was eaten by Senor Pink.

This fruit's abilities were duplicated in the Seraph S-Shark, via a transfusion of Green Blood.

Etymology

 * Suisui is the Japanese and Chinese onomatopoeia for smoothly/swimmingly.
 * Sui (水) can mean "water", as well as being half of the Japanese and Chinese common word for "swimming" (水泳), a reference to this ability's typical action in bodies of water.
 * In the FUNimation adaptations, it is called the Swim-Swim Fruit.

Strengths and Weaknesses
This fruit's main strength is that it allows the user to swim in solid matter such as ground and walls as if it were water, the latter even allowing the user to swim upwards, seemingly disregarding gravity. It also allows the user to submerge into the ground to avoid colliding with it upon falling from a great height by performing a high dive. The fruit can also allow the user to move discreetly, as they will be mostly covered by the ground, allowing them to infiltrate places more easily. Furthermore, after being swum through, the distorted matter "flows" back into place like a liquid would, leaving no trace of the distortion.

It is noteworthy that like most Devil Fruits that can distort solid matter such as the Hira Hira no Mi or the Choki Choki no Mi, the distorted objects retain their physical properties such as weight and solidity in regard to other people than the user. If the user is skilled at using water as a weapon, such as a Fish-Man Jujutsu user, then this can prove very effective in combat.

This fruit does not seem to have any specific weaknesses, aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses where the user is unable to use this fruit's power to swim inside actual bodies of water.

Senor Pink
Senor Pink has been seen using his power to swim in the ground and sneak up on his enemy from behind, and has been stated to use it to infiltrate enemy bases and commit assassinations. It can also be used to allow him to escape, but he claimed that his pride does not allow him to do so. This may or may not be true, as he was protecting an incapacitated soldier behind him at the time. He can also swim upward of a building to gain height for increased momentum for a suplex move. He can also use his ability to pick up speed and add more momentum to his attack.

Techniques

 * NyanNyan Suplex: Baby Buster (ニャンニャンスープレックスベビーバスター): Senor Pink swims in the ground while picking up speed from a good distance away, before grabbing his opponent and swimming with them, all the while picking up even more speed. He then swims up a building with his opponent until they reach the top, and using the momentum keep going up into the air. At this point, he reposition themselves mid-air into a position to perform a suplex before letting gravity do the work and bring his opponent down with him. Senor Pink himself can survive the fall by diving underground at the point of impact before resurfacing. It was used as a finishing move against Franky, though he managed to survive it. It is called Meow Meow Suplex: Baby Buster in the Viz Manga and FUNimation adaptations.

S-Shark


S-Shark utilizes the power to swim through solid surfaces and sneak up on his enemies from below, similar to Senor Pink's usage. However, S-Shark added a twist on how he uses his powers, by taking advantage of the liquified surfaces to apply the Fishman Karate style, and create waves to crush his opponents. S-Shark often uses the power to avoid further attacks after taking damage. This is done by dropping into a surface, before retaking the initiative with a surprise attack.

History
Senor Pink ate the Sui Sui no Mi at no older than the age of 30, as he was seen using its powers to swim in the ground then.

Dr. Vegapunk managed to duplicate this power by synthesizing Green Blood with Senor Pink's Lineage Factor, and apply it onto the cyborg S-Shark, who also uses the ability to liquify solid surfaces as a means to apply Fishman Karate.

Trivia

 * While the Sui Sui no Mi gives to the user the ability to swim through solid surfaces, due to the standard Devil Fruit weakness, the eater of this fruit remains unable to swim in water. This means that the Sui Sui no Mi is the only Devil Fruit shown so far that lets the user maintain (although in particular conditions) the ability to swim.
 * According to Oda, Sanji would have this Devil Fruit if he were allowed one.
