Fuwa Fuwa no Mi

The Fuwa Fuwa no Mi is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that allows the user to levitate himself and non-living things in the air. "Fuwafuwa" means floating lightly, airy, or fluffy in Japanese. It was eaten by Shiki.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The primary strength of this fruit lies in gravity, with which the user can control as well as bypass, in which Shiki can control himself and objects (non-living things) and make them levitate after touching them once. Essentially, this ability is similar to telekinesis.

The abilities of this Devil Fruit allows Shiki to control nearby objects, including ones as large as battleships. Once an object has been levitated, it will remain floating until he commands otherwise, or if he is defeated in battle. The ability to fly gives him a great advantage in combat, because it enables him to avoid many different types of attacks with relative ease, while he can attack from a distance with his swords or with his own powers. He also can use big objects like rocks to block attacks.

He can use his Devil Fruit power in a variety of forms, like dropping huge objects onto his enemies or raising and crushing the land on which they are standing. In addition, he has also used his power to manipulate and remodel the surrounding environment, such as fashioning stone, debris and snow into roaring lions which charge onto the enemy. Shiki can even make water float to drown enemies in it.

The main weakness of the fruit is that the user can't make living things (except himself) levitate. Other than that, the user is still affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
The fruit's bestowed powers, as used by Shiki, have been used for a variety of uses. He describes it as being able to cancel and/or manipulate the hold that gravity has on an object, but he cannot use its' power on any living thing. The capability to fly allows him to move at a much-faster pace than other people and to travel long distances in a short time. In the same way, and with the same goal, he can make his ship levitate.

In combat, Shiki proved to be deadly with this fruit, being able to destroy his enemies in a variety of ways, from dropping huge objects on them to fashioning the surrounding environment to attack them.

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


 * Shishi Odoshi (獅子威し): Shiki uses his powers to break open the ground and fashion the debris into the shape of lion heads with which he then attacks the enemy with.
 * Shishi Odoshi: Chimaki (獅子威し・地巻き): This appears to be a variation on the Shishi Odoshi technique, where the lion heads are part of a wave that crest high over their victims and then break directly over then, burying them in tons of dirt before compacting and shooting upwards in a massive column that rapidly condenses into a gigantic helix that is so solid that it prevents the opponent from moving any part of their body. This was first seen being used against the Straw Hat Pirates.
 * Shishi Odoshi: Gosho Chimaki (獅子威し・御所地巻き): This is simply a Shishi Odoshi: Chimaki that uses the snow-covered earth of Shiki's palace in order to attack his opponent.
 * Zanpa (斬波): Shiki uses his leg-swords to slice through a body of water, and then traps the opponent within the levitated water in an attempt to drown them. This was first seen being used against Monkey D. Luffy.
 * Shishi Senjindani (獅子・千切谷): Using his leg-swords, Shiki launches a flurry of compressed air-based slashes at his opponent. The devil fruit is used to levitate. This technique is similar to CP9's Rankyaku: Ran. It is first seen being used against Luffy.
