This.

However, I'm not sure if he can really "choose" between solid and liquid state, that would be unique to his fruit (so far). Tho I Imagine that he can "choose" in the way that he calculates when his magma will solidify - and uses this aspect to his advantage.

Example: Direct attacks are always done in his liquid form to make use of the extreme heat. On the other hand, if solid force is needed, he shoots the lava fists a great distance up in the air - and by the time they come down they turned into solid rocks/fist for maximum impact.

This is just my impression tho, please don't take this as confirmed or add it to the article (just to make sure. if anyone reads this and thinks it is a fact).
