Shiro Shiro no Mi

The Shiro Shiro no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to become a living fortress, making the user a Castle Human (城人間). It was eaten by Capone Bege. Its powers were first revealed in the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, but the name of the fruit was not given until the Zou Arc.

Etymology

 * Shiro (城) is a Japanese term for "castle".
 * In the Viz manga and Funimation subs, it is called the Castle-Castle Fruit.

Strengths


The main strength of this fruit is that it allows the user to become a living fortress, the inside of their body holding many openings, including cannon ports, portcullis and drawbridges; deeper inside contains various rooms, ranging from stone brick rooms for combat to well-refurbished meeting halls, complete with long-table, chairs and even decorations. The user can hold even living people inside their body, by shrinking their sizes as long as they are within the vicinity of the user. When the objects and people within the user get out they return to their normal size. This can be done by exiting a certain distance away from the body, shown by a pinkish layer of an unknown aura centered on the user's location, or through a unique alternative route like the Mirro-World. When the user grows to unleash the fortress' full size, the shrinking affect is nulled. In addition, the user's castle defenses can be deployed in a circular formation to give them a full 360 degrees of protection and attack coverage, as well as the potential to conduct decisive surprise ambushes.



As long as the user does not manifest castle features on their external body, the castle features of their internal body will remain concealed and unnoticeable. This has the advantage of lulling others into a false sense of security who think they are facing a single individual in combat who appears to be lacking armaments on the surface, only for the fruit's user to reveal the militia and weaponry hidden within. If the user does not wish to engage in combat personally, they can shield themselves by releasing their subordinates and let them do the fighting for them. The user can also use their body as a storage facility for recreational purposes, as they are shown to house food and drink for subordinates and any outsiders. The user has complete control over the fortress in their body, and can telekinetically move around and create objects from inside as they see fit. However, movement from the outside does not seem to affect the inside.



The user also seems to have the ability to make a miniature version of themselves through a strange fluid as a way to communicate with those inside, however, being in their own body, the user can still just talk in order to be heard. They are capable of being alert and moving around in the real world while also being in their own body. Should any damage occur to the outside body, the miniature version will reflect said damage on itself, feeling pain and showing visible injuries on their equivalent spot of the damaged area.

Additionally, the user can also turn their body into an actual fortress, resembling a humanoid golem; while they still retain a humanoid form, they will grow significantly in size as their skin becomes stone and the rooms in the castle become life-sized. The fortress has immense defensive power, being immune to cannonfire and even withstand a ruthless beating from the Yonko Big Mom (at least for a while), making it a suitable safe haven in the midst of a battlefield. The user is able to turn their body into parts of a fortress, including, for example, tank treads.

Weaknesses
So, far this Devil Fruit has displayed no direct offensive abilities that affect those outside the user. This Devil Fruit's full potential seems to be dependent on the presence of other people within the user's fortress body in order to use weapons and launch ambushes against threats located outside it.

Should the user be inhaling smoke or any similar substances, the insides would be filled with it as well, potentially hindering the user's own subordinates. Anyone can escape his body should they simply exit through an opening, so the user must monitor prisoners at all times or keep the doors closed.

The insides of the fortress can also take structural damage such as by catching on fire, although it is unknown how this affects his body. On the outside, when in full fortress form, the castle is a sturdy defense, but not impregnable. Since the fortress is the user's actual body, any damage inflicted onto the walls is effectively injuring the user. Should the giant castle be destroyed, it will disappear and the user will die, and anyone taking refuge within will be expelled into the open. The artillery of the giant fortress seems to have limited ammunition, and they can be clogged by foreign objects, causing them to backfire. Also, the mobile strength of the fortress can be restrained by sufficient strength, such as specialized candy.

Other than that, the user is affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
