Horu Horu no Mi

The Horu Horu no Mi, also known as the Horu Horu Fruit, is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that grants the user the ability of the creation and control of special hormones that can produce affects to anyone who is hit by them internally that is by the user's choosing. It was eaten by Emporio Ivankov, former "queen" of the Kamabakka Kingdom and current ruler of "New Kama Land" in Impel Down.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The power of the Devil Fruit lies in the creation and manipulation of hormones. By eating this fruit, Ivankov can create and store within him hormones of any kind within his body. However, his true power lies in the distribution of hormones from himself to his target: by hitting anyone he desires, Ivankov can manually inject any hormones that he wants into the person who is taking the blow. The person receiving the hormones undergoes a genetic manipulation of their own body, which is forced to mutate by way of the injected hormones into whatever form or condition is instructed by the Devil Fruit user.

According to Ivankov, he can create hormones within his body which can change anything that he desires in his target, including gender, body temperature, pigmentation, growth or even emotional state. Typically, whenever he uses his power, it is of the "gender" change, allowing him to either inject female hormones into a man to turn him into a woman or, conversely, male hormones into a woman to turn her into a man. However, the Horu Horu no Mi is also the source of Ivankov's "miraculous" powers such as healing, using them to allow for a body to adjust from a fatal-condition to having a chance of survival. However, while he can make the adjustment within the body to heal from these conditions, the miracle is also dependent on the person hit by the altering hormones, whereas only those with a strong enough will can survive and use their survival via the hormones to their advantage. Other than that, the user is also affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
The named techniques that are used by Emporio Ivankov that involve the Devil Fruit are as follows:


 * Emporio Female Hormones: Through touch Ivankov apparently releases female hormones into another person's body, which can turn those it's used on into women. It is also likely that he can also turn a woman into a man. This was first seen being used on an inmate in Level 5.5.
 * Emporio Healing Hormones: After creating needle-like structures on his fingers, Emporio stabs and injects hormones meant to release the body's immune system's full potential. This is the secret to his "miracle" healing. Since the hormones only unleash the immune system's potential, the chance of survival is mostly based upon the individual's will to live. This was first seen being used on Luffy to counteract Magellan's poison.
