Shibo Shibo no Mi

The Shibo Shibo no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants whomever eats it the power to drain liquid — unaltered or in the form of special "juices" — from living and non-living things (themselves included) by action of wringing, as well as transmit such liquid to other things, making them a Dehydration Human (脱水人間). It was eaten by Charlotte Smoothie.

Etymology

 * "Shibo" is short for Shiboru (搾る), which means "wring" or "squeeze" in Japanese.

Strengths and Weaknesses
In essence, this fruit affords one the power to extract liquid from whatever has a solid form innately containing it, however much they please, from living creatures (whether humanoid or animal) to inanimate objects, to even themselves.

This tends to be done by hand (with both hands or one), once a particular target has been gotten hold of, by squeezing and twisting such akin to wringing out soaked cloth, working just as easily so that it does not discernibly require exertion on the user's part; the amount of liquid forced out seems to depend simply on how strongly and long is wrung. In the case of living targets, being wrung out does in itself not seem to inflict any bodily harm, like tears in tissue, or permanent deformation no matter how severe the contortion is, and may even bring upon a pleasurable rather than painful sensation (as seen with a woman moaning in ecstasy). Still, it causes dangerous dehydration to victims, and they may dry out until left as thoroughly shriveled and pale husks. Once liquid has been extracted, though it does not necessarily have to change in nature compared to its original state within what held it, at the user's discretion it can take on the form of special juices (making the wringing action appear like juicing) that can be drunk, coming in uniquely different flavors that may be exquisite, and are completely innocuous even if derived from something that would have originally been hazardous on contact, like a "lava drink" from igneous rock. What the tastes are based on, and if the juices have any other special qualities, is unknown.

Aside from a source of drink, the power of this fruit provides great defense against poison, as such can also be simply squeezed out of a body, especially from the user's own, if administered in liquid form. Additionally, in combat, the power of dehydration can be transferred to weaponry, such as a sword to dehydrate whatever it slices. Further, the user can transfer already drained juices to other things, like storing stolen liquid inside their own body or their weapon to let both become larger as well as heavier, and can freely release these liquids in concentrated blasts such as flying slash attacks from a sword that can be quite powerful.

While a user taking in liquids themselves to gain mass can significantly increase their attack potency and range, their increased weight (and size) may adversely affect their surroundings, as shown when Smoothie risked sinking her own ship upon enlarging herself and her sword to huge size. Otherwise, the user is affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage


Smoothie often uses this fruit for leisure, as a source of drink for herself and others. She has been shown idly sitting around whilst wringing out a helpless female subordinate for a casual drink with a large, custom-sized wine glass. Her large size helps her seize normal-sized human victims with ease. During events like Big Mom's tea parties, Smoothie may prepare special, if not bizarre, sources for her juices to serve as party drinks to guests, having been seen juicing such things as a bound giraffe or molten rock at the reception to Sanji and Pudding's wedding.

In combat, Smoothie has been shown effectively saving herself from Vinsmoke Reiju's Poison Pink ability, by wringing the abundant amount of poison she had taken in from a blow of the latter out of one of her arms by using the other. With her sword, Smoothie is said to be able to pull out all water content inside enemies by merely slicing them, leaving them desiccated. Furthermore, whilst on her ship in pursuit of the Thousand Sunny across the seas of Totto Land, Smoothie was seen using foreign liquid to take in herself, as well as to absorb into her sword, to drastically increase herself and her weapon in size, causing her to seemingly near the height of a giant whilst inadvertently threatening to sink her ship. With the all the liquid inside her and her enlarged sword, she could unleash it in a massive slash of liquid flying forward toward the enemy ship, her sword dripping after.

Trivia

 * The fruit's ability to drain liquid from another's body and turn them into a dried husk is similar to the Suna Suna no Mi's power of absorbing moisture on touch.
