Paramecia

Paramecia is one of the three Devil Fruit types, being the most common and diverse. Fruits of this type allows the consumer to achieve one of a large variety of abilities that enables them to become "superhuman" or perform a superhuman feat.

The term Paramecia was first used when Wyper witnessed Luffy's Devil Fruit abilities.

Etymology

 * Paramecia (singular: Paramecium) are a genus of slipper-shaped, ciliate protozoa (single-celled organisms) that thrive in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments, able to swim by moving the hairlike organelles attached to their body. Easy to cultivate, Paramecia are widely used as biological research material, especially genetics and cytology.
 * Their ability to flourish in water stands in contrast to Devil Fruit users losing all power in water and being unable to swim.
 * Another possible source of "Paramecia" could be paramýthia (παραμύθια), the plural of paramýthi (παραμύθι), which in Greek means "fairy tale" (possibly referencing the fantastical nature of the powers conferred by Paramecia fruits).
 * This etymology is supported by the VIZ manga, the 4Kids-dubbed anime, as well as Funimation's edited-for-TV dub and its simulcast subtitles, which indeed render "Paramecia" as "Paramythia" (though Funimation's uncut dub keeps the name "Paramecia" until the Water 7 Arc).
 * The kanji for "Paramecia" include the term chōjin (超人), literally meaning "superhuman" and denoting the superhuman nature of the powers conferred by Paramecia fruits, many of which alter the body itself in supernatural ways.

Overview
The defining aspect of Paramecia fruits, in basic terms, is that they grant any power other than the ability to transform into an animal like a Zoan or a natural element like a Logia. Thus, the Paramecia class encompasses a massive range of varying and peculiar abilities with their own strengths and weaknesses. They are the most numerous type of Devil Fruit, with most users in the series comprising of them.

Just about every Paramecia ability can be placed in three general categories: altering the user's body, manipulating the environment, and generating a substance. Some fruits fall into one of these categories, while others fall into multiple depending on usage. In addition, there exists a special sub-class of Paramecia-type fruits, known as Special Paramecia, which grant abilities beyond those of a usual Paramecia.

Recently, the creation of Artificial Paramecia has been discovered by Vegapunk, using the Lineage Factor of real Paramecia users. However, unlike Zoan-type fruits, Paramecia-type fruits themselves cannot be created fully artificially, and only the abilities can be copied. Currently, the only examples of Artificial Paramecia users are the Seraphim.

Bodily Alteration


Bodily alteration caused by Paramecia fruits comes in many forms. Some fruits will permanently change the user’s body composition, allowing the user to utilize the ability at all times without the need for a mental command. For example, the user of the Gomu Gomu no Mi will always have a rubbery body, and even if they are rendered unable to use their Devil Fruit ability, they will still stretch if acted upon by an outside force. Other users must alter their body on command, whether it is mental or through some physical gesture, like transforming their entire body or certain parts of it into other things, both organic and inorganic. Examples include the Buki Buki no Mi user transforming their body parts into a variety of weapons, and the Mane Mane no Mi user transforming into other people. In most instances, abilities that transform body parts into inanimate objects do not make their bodies intangible like a Logia transformation.

Alternatively, the user may be able to change a property of their body, such as the Suke Suke no Mi allowing the user to turn invisible, or the Hira Hira no Mi letting the user make their body ripple like a two-dimensional flag. The Yomi Yomi no Mi is a special type of body altering fruit, as it enables the user's soul to return to the world of the living after death and reanimate their body, with most of their energy and life force residing in their soul after resurrecting. Additionally, some Paramecia users can alter their bodies by interacting with the environment in a certain way. For example, the Baku Baku no Mi user gains properties of anything they eat, and the Jake Jake no Mi's purpose is for the user to be worn by someone else and thus combine two people's strength.

Some body altering Paramecia users can apply the alteration to the surrounding environment, usually by touching it; for example, the Hira Hira no Mi user can make any object they touch ripple in addition to their own body. Several of these fruits can only extend their power to inanimate objects, although some can still affect other living beings, like the Suke Suke no Mi.

Environmental Manipulation


Environment-manipulating Paramecias enable their users to achieve an unnatural effect on the area around them. Some of these fruits work only on living organisms, some on inanimate objects, and others equally well on anything. Many of these users can alter something or someone around them by simply touching it, while others can produce a certain substance that is used to achieve the desired effect. For example, the Noro Noro no Mi user slows things down by hitting them with a photon beam, while Tama uses the Kibi Kibi no Mi by pulling a piece of kibi dango from her body and feeding it to an animal. A few fruits can create a special zone in which their alteration takes effect, such as the Ope Ope no Mi and Nagi Nagi no Mi.

An environment-manipulating user may gain a special level of control over a certain type of object, including objects that normal people would not be able to interact with. For example, the Kage Kage no Mi user can grab people's shadows and cut them off with scissors, and the Buku Buku no Mi user can perform supernatural actions with books, like levitating them, inserting objects into them, and using their content to create illusions. Alternatively, the user might transform their body parts to achieve the effect, such as the Horu Horu no Mi user transforming their fingers into needles to inject hormones into someone's body and the Choki Choki no Mi user transforming their arms into scissors to give objects they cut the properties of paper.

Substance Generation


Finally, some Paramecia fruits are capable of generating a specific substance. Many of these powers resemble Logia users' substance generation, enabling the user to create a near-limitless amount of their substance and shape it as desired. However, users of these fruits cannot transform their bodies into their respective substances like Logia users. Substances generated by Paramecia users are distinct from those of Logia users in that Paramecia-generated substances are typically refined and manmade (including wax, string, and poison), whereas Logia substances naturally occur. Some fruits can even generate extremely refined objects including food (such as biscuits) and clothing.

A few substance-generating fruits stand out from others, as the substances they create are unnatural, with unique effects on the surrounding environment. Special substance-generating fruits include the Bari Bari no Mi, which can create impenetrable barriers with a maximum surface area, and the Hoya Hoya no Mi, which summons a genie to fight on the user's behalf. The Horo Horo no Mi user can create ghosts with a large variety of effects on the environment, including allowing the user to see what the ghosts see and inflicting negative emotions on people they pass through. Additionally, some fruits generate real substances with unusual and sometimes supernatural properties. These substances include bubbles that can wash away the strength of anyone affected, straw that can deflect damage to others, mucus that is flammable, butter that is adhesive instead of slippery, cream that can burn skin, and dangos that can tame animals.

Special Paramecia
Special Paramecia (特殊な) are a sub-class of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits that provide abilities that are considered otherwise unique to other Paramecias in some way. While the exact requirements for an ability to be labelled Special Paramecia is unknown, the most notable detail about the only known example is the presence of all three ability types with a man-made element.

Currently, the only example of a Special Paramecia is the Mochi Mochi no Mi. It heavily differs from other substance-producing fruits, as it allows the user to not only create and control mochi, but transform into it as well, therefore making it very similar to a Logia-type Devil Fruit. This allows the user to avoid attacks, reform after being blown apart, or keep objects hidden within the substance of their body.

Artificial Paramecia
So far, only Zoan-type fruits can be artificially produced. However, Vegapunk managed to develop a method to recreate Paramecia powers artificially: by using the Lineage Factor of real Paramecia users to synthesize Green Blood and transfuse it into beings, granting the recipient the same exact powers. This has only been demonstrated with the Seraphim, who are clones of members of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, with two of them possessing the same abilities as their original counterparts, while another two received its abilities from two entirely different individuals.

Strengths


By eating a Paramecia fruit, a person will receive a superhuman ability, allowing them to perform actions that would be impossible for a normal person to do, and in some instances survive events that would otherwise kill them. Many advantages granted by Paramecia fruits can be applied in battle, particularly if the user is well-trained with their fruit. The Gura Gura no Mi is considered to be the strongest Paramecia fruit due to possessing the ability to create massive shockwaves and tsunamis, giving it the power to potentially destroy the entire world; its strength is considered on par with that of a Logia fruit. A few other conventionally powerful Paramecia abilities include summoning gravity, creating explosions, and heavy poisoning. Some Paramecia fruits are capable of doing more than just harming enemies physically, such as the Horo Horo no Mi, which can mentally subdue other people. If a user can alter the environment around them, they may be able to use outside objects to their benefit in battle or have a particular advantage against a certain type of opponent. For example, the Sabi Sabi no Mi user is particularly dangerous against swordsmen due to their ability to instantly rust metal swords.



If a Paramecia user has an altered body, they may be able to interact with their environment in ways that would normally be dangerous. For example, the Gomu Gomu no Mi user will be unharmed by any blunt impact, the Bara Bara no Mi user is unaffected by cutting attacks, and the Sube Sube no Mi user will have dangerous projectiles slip off of them without causing harm. Certain Paramecia users' bodies will become immune to the effects of their powers, such as the Doku Doku no Mi user being immune to touching poison (and, to a lesser degree, consuming poison) and the Buki Buki no Mi user being able to turn their entire body into a bomb and reform without issue after exploding. However, not every Paramecia user is granted this advantage.



A Paramecia fruit may also offer a valuable superhuman skill that goes beyond fighting. A prominent example is the Ope Ope no Mi, which was well-reputed for being used by a certain doctor to perform miraculous medical operations, and used by Trafalgar Law to cure his otherwise incurable Amber Lead Syndrome. The fruit also possesses the extreme application of granting someone eternal life, leading it to be classified as the "Ultimate Devil Fruit". Other examples of important non-combat fruit usage include the Chiyu Chiyu no Mi magically healing wounds, the Fuku Fuku no Mi creating disguises, and the Guru Guru no Mi allowing the user to fly.

Overall, many Paramecia users who have a large amount of experience and training with their fruit have shown the ability to use their fruits in a large variety of ways, both for combat and self-benefit. This is typically best seen with experienced users in the New World, like Donquixote Doflamingo and Big Mom. However, there are other people who have been shown using their fruits for a more limited purpose but remain powerful in combat.

Although Paramecia fruits (except for the Mochi Mochi no Mi) do not enable the user to transform their bodies into substances, this means that, unlike Logia users, the substances Paramecia users generate are not considered part of their body. This means that attacking a Paramecia user's generated substance with Busoshoku Haki will do no harm to the user. This was exploited by Trebol, who used the Beta Beta no Mi to hide his body with a large amount of mucus and trick opponents into attacking nothing but mucus. Skilled substance generating users, particularly ones capable of near-infinite generating, have frequently increased their battle prowess by assembling a wide variety of creations with their substance, particularly golems directly fight alongside or even in place of them, as well as ones they can inhabit.

Awakening
Listen up, hatchling. Devil Fruit abilities have a whole other stage to them. It’s called "Awakening"! Very rarely, an ability will "awaken", and begin to affect things other than the user's own body!

Like all Devil Fruit abilities, Paramecia types can also be "awakened", attaining the ability to use their Devil Fruits at a new level of strength and in different manners than they originally could. Luffy notes that such a feat makes it no longer appear to be the power of a mere Paramecia.



Usually, an awakened Paramecia allows the user to spread their power beyond their own body and transform or alter the properties of material around them to match the nature of their fruit, allowing them to manipulate the altered material in any way they desire. The transformation effect can be spread over a very wide area or be compressed into a single target. Doflamingo, after awakening the Ito Ito no Mi, can extend his string creating ability, transforming the ground and buildings into vast quantities of string that he can manipulate without even needing to touch them. Katakuri affects the environment in a similar way with his Mochi Mochi no Mi during his battle with Luffy. Kid can bestow magnetism onto other people and objects, turning them into living magnets that attract all metal, and can even imbue inverse magnetic polarities to non-metallic targets to force an attraction between them. Trafalgar Law can apply the essence of his ROOM technique to objects such as his sword, turning it into a miniature operating room from which he can operate through, and also create remote operating fields that stick to a target.

Non-canon Paramecia examples tend to be more flexible about what their Awakening entails, sometimes only allowing their user access to more advanced techniques that do not include transformation of matter and its properties. The non-canon Gild Tesoro, for example, can create a complex sensory network within the gold he touched, enabling him to sense every movement connected with his gold. That said, some examples still follow the general rule of high-scale environmental manipulation. Douglas Bullet can extend the range of his material combining ability to entire terrains, allowing them to be disassembled and reconstructed within a far greater range than he would normally be able to.

The main difference between awakening and Devil Fruits that allow the user to transform and manipulate the environment in the unawakened stage, such as the Hira Hira no Mi, is that awakening allows one to transform the environment from afar, as well as control it with just their mind. Unawakened environment manipulating Devil Fruits require the user to touch what they wish to transform, and often requires bodily movement to be controlled.

The Gomu Gomu no Mi has a very special case of awakening, having both the properties of a Paramecia and Zoan, resulting in a transformation as per its previous and true classification as a Mythical Zoan. Luffy, while using the awakening (which he has dubbed Gear 5), is able to accomplish several feats that he could never do in his other forms, such as being able to enlarge his entire body or parts of it without the need for blowing air into himself or use the force from his legs to literally run on air. Also, like an awakened Paramecia, he can spread his power to other objects or even people, turning them into rubber as well.

Weaknesses


Paramecia is the only class of Devil Fruit that contains fruits with little to no use in battle, in contrast to Zoans which are suited for close combat and Logias whose transformations grant massive offensive and defensive power boosts. The Toki Toki no Mi is a notable fruit with no known offensive capability, as it can only cause objects to travel through time. Other Paramecia fruits have only been shown to be useful against enemies with an advanced application of the power, or strategic usage of it. The Yomi Yomi no Mi is an example of the former, as Brook was never able to use it in battle until becoming able to summon the chills of the underworld to freeze outside objects. The Chiyu Chiyu no Mi's only known instance of inhibiting others was when Mansherry drew the blood of willing Marines to turn into healing dandelions, which drained their energy as part of the Tontatta Tribe's plot against them.

Additionally, whether or not a Paramecia user can effectively use their power can often depend on what environment they are in. The Jake Jake no Mi and Gocha Gocha no Mi, which both revolve around combining multiple people's abilities, have little use if there is no other person to operate with the user. For the most part, a Paramecia ability cannot sustain a user in high-level combat by itself, even if it is useful in battle; just about every powerful Paramecia user has developed a variety of combat skills and acquired weapons to utilize alongside their power, and Paramecia users that have demonstrated few abilities other than their Devil Fruit will typically be easily beaten by a member of the former group. Paramecia abilities can frequently be highly complex and tricky for the user to grow accustomed to, so special training is often needed to hone the fruit's abilities effectively. One prominent example is the Gomu Gomu no Mi, as Luffy was initially unable to effectively throw a punch while stretching his arm and needed to train for several years to perform effective long-range attacks.



If used improperly or carelessly, a Paramecia ability may be dangerous to its user and any allies the user has around them, especially if the ability is extremely powerful and destructive by nature. This was most prominently seen with the Gura Gura no Mi, which can be extremely dangerous to friend and foe alike as once an earthquake is created, anyone in the affected area will fall victim to the ground shifting, as well as the potential arrival of tsunamis. The Zushi Zushi no Mi is capable of using gravity to push or pull any object in a certain direction, but it does not give the user any protection from those objects, particularly objects that they might pull down to their vicinity, like meteors. The Shibo Shibo no Mi can allow the user to absorb liquids and become bigger and heavier, but this may make them unsuitable for their environment, especially if they are on a ship. Some Paramecia abilities can apply their effect to the user themselves, with a prominent instance being when Luffy was able to slow Foxy down by reflecting his Noro Noro no Mi beam back at him.

Paramecia abilities, particularly environment altering ones, typically have some sort of limitation which can at times be arbitrary. An environment altering fruit may only affect inanimate objects, an effect created by a fruit ability may only last for a short time, a body altering user can typically only alter their body by a certain amount, and users who can generate a special substance might be limited in the amount they can generate, such as the Bari Bari no Mi having a maximum barrier size. Some of these fruits' limits can be expanded by training, while others are always in effect. Thus, it is often important when fighting a Paramecia user to determine the limits of their fruit and exploit them. Some fruits that affect living organisms can be limited depending on a trait of the organism; for example, the Horo Horo no Mi's Negative Hollows cannot affect a person who is already negative, while the Mero Mero no Mi does not work against anyone who has no lustful feelings toward the user.

Some fruits are definitively superior to others because they possess similar abilities but fewer limitations; for example, the Kiro Kiro no Mi user can make their weight a maximum of 10,000 kilograms (10 metric tons), while the Ton Ton no Mi user can increase their weight to thousands of metric tons. Additionally, the Supa Supa no Mi is inferior to the Buki Buki no Mi because the former can only generate blades on the body while the latter can generate blades in addition to many other weapons. However, having a superior Devil Fruit does not automatically make the user superior in combat.

I don't know what kind of power you have, but your body is still intact. You don't seem to be a Logia-type.



Except for the Mochi Mochi no Mi, Paramecia fruits do not allow the user to transform into an intangible substance. Thus, they cannot phase through attacks like Logia users can. Caesar Clown reacted dismissively to Magellan's Paramecia Doku Doku no Mi in comparison to his own Logia Gasu Gasu no Mi, as although Magellan can create a large variety of poisons, he cannot transform his body into poison. Thus, although he can create a measure of self-defense by coating his body in poison, his flesh-and-blood body is always present and will be injured if anything strikes it. In contrast, Caesar can use his Logia fruit to create poisonous gases in addition to turning his own body into gas, which will cause any attack not imbued with Busoshoku Haki to pass through it. When Basil Hawkins took the form of a giant straw scarecrow, Kizaru was able to quickly damage his real body because it was only covered in straw, not transformed into it. Although Trebol was able to hide his skinny body in a large mass of mucus and have a higher chance of avoiding attacks, he was immediately injured once Law was able to unleash an attack that struck his body under the mucus. The Kira Kira no Mi's ability to turn the user's exterior body into diamond heavily resembles a Logia transformation, but has its differences, as the user will be impacted by attacks that can break through or circumvent their diamond defense, they cannot generate diamonds, and they cannot reform severed body parts.

Certain Devil Fruits may tax the user's stamina, especially after heavy use. After creating biscuits on a constant basis for 11 hours, Cracker was shown to be growing very tired. In order to maintain his "Room" with the Ope Ope no Mi, Law's stamina is drained, and long-term activation of the Room can come at the cost of his lifespan. Certain advanced Devil Fruit applications can also shorten a user's lifespan, such as the Chiyu Chiyu no Mi user using the advanced ability to restore inanimate objects. The most extreme example of this is in the Ope Ope no Mi's Perennial Youth Operation, where the user will immediately die upon giving someone eternal life.

The effects and creations of environment-altering and substance-generating fruits may cease to exist if the user is knocked unconscious or is severely injured. Thus, if a Paramecia user seeks to create or maintain a long-term effect, they and their allies must be cautious about attempts to take them out and undo the effect. This was prominently seen with Sugar, who used the Hobi Hobi no Mi to turn people into toys over a ten-year span, and this effect was instantly broken when she was knocked out by Usopp. Additionally, some fruit abilities may be manifested regardless of whether the user wants them to be, such as when Giolla was able to force Mansherry to use the Chiyu Chiyu no Mi by hitting her and causing her healing tears to fall.

There are some Paramecias that require a certain factor from the user in order to be fully effective. For example, the Ope Ope no Mi, while incredibly powerful and versatile, requires a vast amount of medical knowledge to handle properly, and for the Gasha Gasha no Mi, the user must have knowedge of mechanical engineering. In addition, some Paramecias also need the user to be able to invoke certain emotions into their targets to effect them, such as the Mero Mero no Mi, which the user requires great beauty to invoke lust from the target to turn them into stone, and the Soru Soru no Mi, which requires the user to be able to strike fear into their targets to take their souls.

Like any kind of Devil Fruit user, Paramecia users are susceptible to Busoshoku Haki. Users with specially transformed bodies that allow them to avoid or be immune regular attacks, such as the Gomu Gomu no Mi and Mochi Mochi no Mi users, can be hit by attacks imbued with Haki. Also, if a person's Haki is strong enough, they can reverse or become resistant to Paramecia abilities that affect others, such as the Ope Ope no Mi or the Shiku Shiku no Mi.

Trivia

 * Given that the Gomu Gomu no Mi was once a Mythical Zoan before being reclassified as a Paramecia, this technically makes the Paramecia class the second of the three types of Devil Fruit to be introduced in the story.
 * Not to be confused with Dalton's Zoan fruit, the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison, which was the first to be identified as one of the three types, in Chapter 136. This is followed by Paramecia in Chapter 252, then Logia in Chapter 266.
 * Paramecia is also the second type to introduce "awakened" users.
 * Black Maria's Road To Laugh Tale entry revealed that she was originally intended to have the Paramecia-type Obi Obi no Mi (English: Sash-Sash Fruit), to fit in with the haunted house motif of her subordinates.
