Awa Awa no Mi

The Awa Awa no Mi, is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that allows the user to emit and control soap and bubbles that can not only clean off dirt but can also "clean off" power. Awa (泡) means "bubble". It was given by Spandam to Kalifa who ate it. This ability is not to be confused with a Logia power, as the user cannot turn herself into soap and bubbles.

Appearance
The Awa Awa no Mi is a violet watermelon shaped fruit with various swirls on it. It's insides are bright green and also posses swirls.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The fruit's major strength, as demonstrated by Kalifa, is that it gives it's user the user the ability to emit and control soap and bubbles from their body. These bubbles are capable of not only cleaning off dirt but can also "clean off" power. The user can thus essentially drain their opponent's energy with these bubbles and leave them in a clean and shiny state that is extremely smooth. The user can also shield themselves from attacks by condensing these bubbles together around themselves and encasing themselves into a giant bar of soap.

The user's bubbles however, can be washed away by water. Likewise, their smoothened opponents can be returned to normal by being washed by water. Also, although it won't nullify the bubbles' effects, a strong wind will blow them away before they can drain the target of their energy. Other than these, the user is affected also by standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
The fruit's bestowed powers, as used by Kalifa, have been used mostly to aid her in combat. She mostly uses the fruit's powers to give her an edge in battle. While she is a capable assassin by herself, by using the fruit's powers, she can weaken opponents that would otherwise be too physically powerful for her to handle. Aside from this, Kalifa has also used the fruit's power over soap particles to shield herself from being electrocuted.

The named techniques that are used by Kalifa that involve the Devil Fruit are as follows:


 * Golden Awa (ゴールデン泡, Golden Bubble): Kalifa uses her powers to coat an opponent with her bubbles, draining his strength and leaving his skin shinny and smooth. It also seems to be a pun on "Golden Hour". It's effects were first seen being used on Sanji. According to Kalifa, the reason that it alters a person's appearance so much is because it also smooths out their body's curves.


 * Bubble Master: Soap Sheep(泡使い 石鹸羊)):Kalifa uses this technique to concentrate around her all the foam in the room. The foam makes her look like a sheep.


 * Hitsuji Gumo Relax Awa (羊雲リラックス泡, Sheep Cloud Relax Bubble): After concentrating all the foam in the room with "Bubble Master: Soap Sheep", Califa launches it against the enemy to "clean" his strength. When they hit her opponent, given the name of the attack, they seem to relax their body so much they are rendered immobile. Because of the amount of bubbles shot it is near impossible to dodge all of them. It also appears to be a pun on "relax hour".


 * Hitsuji Gumo Tidal Wave (羊雲大津波 (タイダル・ウェイブ), Sheep Cloud Tidal Wave): the same as "Hitsuji Gumo Relax Hour", but this time Califa sends all the foam in form of a enormous tidal wave to increase the precision of the blow.

Outside of battle, Kalifa can use her powers to clean off dirt and grime. During CP9's Independent Report, she used her powers to clean off the streets of St. Poplar to raise money for Rob Lucci's medical treatments.

Trivia

 * This fruit is often confused as a Logia-class Devil Fruit, because it seemingly produces an "element". However, it is not a Logia because the user cannot transform into the said element, but rather just control it. This attribute is shared with the Doru Doru no Mi and Doku Doku no Mi.
