Mori Mori no Mi

The Mori Mori no Mi is a Logia-type Devil Fruit which allows the user to create, control, and transform into plantlife at will, making the user into a Forest Human (森人間). It was eaten by Aramaki, better known as Admiral Ryokugyu.

Etymology

 * Mori (森) is the Japanese word for "forest".

Strengths and Weaknesses
Much like other Logia powers, the fruit's main strength consists of allowing the user to generate, control and become an element of nature; plantlife in this case. When active, the user's body parts can take the attributes of trees, flowers, vines, etc., making them akin to a living forest. The created plants can grown rapidly and move around freely, seemingly not being limited by the rigidity normal plants usually possess.

The user can generate large quantities of plants to unleash overwhelming large-scale attacks, like underground root tentacles that can ensnare multiple targets, or even enormous creatures such as dragons, at once. Additionally, those plants can rapidly absorb any liquid they touch, which includes dehydrating living creatures after impaling them, leaving them as shriveled husks.

The user also appears to have direct influence of the environment's fertility, leaving behind a trail of various plantlife wherever they walk. It is currently unknown if this is passively active or something the user does on purpose.

Unlike most other Logias, this fruit turns the user into a solid element instead of a fluid, making it similar to the Hie Hie no Mi (which deals with equally solid ice). This means the user is unable to let attacks pass through their body, although they presumably still have the ability to regenerate from wounds. Aside from that, the user displays all the general weaknesses common to devil fruits.

Usage
Ryokugyu appears to be able to taste the liquid he absorbs, as shown when he impaled a barrel of alcohol with a branch and remarked on its flavor. Ryokugyu can also perform highly unorthodox feats with the plants he generates, such as growing a giant flower on his back and using it to fly by spinning it rapidly like a propeller.

Trivia

 * Ryokugyu's Devil Fruit ability is very similar to the non-canon Mosa Mosa no Mi, as both enable their consumers to control plants and make them grow. It also has a similar ability of the Suna Suna no Mi of drying their opponents.
