Wara Wara no Mi

The Wara Wara no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create and manipulate straw. It was eaten by Basil Hawkins.

Etymology

 * "Wara" (藁) means "straw".

Strengths and Weaknesses
The fruit's bestowed power, at its most basic level, is that it allows the user to create and manipulate straw, and then use it to a broad variety of applications.

The straw created by the fruit's powers can seemingly be made sharper than usual, as it could easily pierce through one of the Beasts Pirates' reptilian steeds. Depending on the user's craftsmanship and imagination, the straw can have different usages, from simply serving as a holding device to creating living creatures. Even though, as pointed out by Kizaru, it isn't a Logia-type ability, the user still seems to be able to turn into straw to a certain extent, such as when Hawkins let his straw men out of his body.

Other than the usual Devil Fruit weaknesses, the straw created by the fruit's powers does not appear to be very durable, as Roronoa Zoro could easily slice through it. Also, as a Paramecia-type, the user always keeps their tangibility, even after surrounding themselves with straw.

Usage
Hawkins mainly keeps ten dolls within his body as a precaution, allowing him to take up to ten attacks unharmed. He can also form a giant scarecrow-like entity to fight on his behalf.

Named Techniques



 * Goma no So (降魔の相): Hawkins transforms into a giant scarecrow-like entity. He also resembles a voodoo doll seemingly made from straw, with metal nails functioning as claws/fingernails. According to Kizaru, his Devil Fruit is not a Logia, so he is still as vulnerable to damage as he is in human form, just with greater offensive capabilities. This was first seen used in the battle against Admiral Kizaru. This is called Demon Face in the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub and Demon Conquering Phase in the FUNimation subs.


 * Life Minus: Hawkins creates straw dolls that represent someone different each, keeping them within his body. Those straw dolls are seemingly connected with the life of the person that they depict. If Hawkins suffers a fatal attack, the damage gets redirected to one of the dolls, in turn damaging the person it's supposed to represent while Hawkins himself remains unharmed, with the doll being discarded right afterwards. The effect works in reverse too, as people who were cloned with straw dolls have damage inflicted on them reflected on their doll, turning it useless. Hawkins first used this during his confrontation with Admiral Kizaru at Sabaody Archipelago.


 * Warabide Sword: By channeling his Devil Fruit powers through his sword, Hawkins can manipulate its form. The blade becomes straw, but it still remains sharp enough to pierce other beings. It was first used during his confrontation with Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro at Wano Country.
