Furō Furō no Mi

Furō Furō no Mi

---

English Name: Flow Flow Fruit
Classification: Paramecia

Owned By: Vallaria Lily

---

Appearance:

The Furō Furō no Mi resembles a blueberry both in size and shape. The color is a marbled blue and white. The customary Devil Fruit spirals are less frequent around this fruit. Its stem is green, curled up into tight little curls. It tastes like ash and candle wax.

---

Ability:

The Furō Furō no Mi has the ability to transfer heat to and from the surrounding environment. This applies to both living and non-living things. This allows the user to cool and heat whatever they wish via transference going so far as to be able to combust or freeze objects, water, people, air, etc. This fruit requires the user be in physical contact with the matter to transfer heat to or from the matter regardless of its state.


As the Devil Fruit user's mastery of the fruit increases, the rate at which they can transfer heat increases, becoming able to transfer heat from a greater volume of matter at a greater rate. The user’s body serves as the conduit of the heat transfer. Heat can be stored within the body of the user as well as expended from the user and replenished from the heat in their environment. This serves as a limiter. The amount of heat the user can store or expend is limited to how much their body can handle.

Weaknesses:

Standard Devil Fruit weaknesses apply.  If the user cools or heats themselves too much, they are susceptible to the symptoms of hyperthermia and hypothermia as well as burns or the freezing of limbs.

Yo, Fox! o/

As this DF stands, it looks like a rehash of Oven's Netsu Netsu no Mi. You may be trying to go for a convection-themed Fruit.

Read up on convection, tailor everything to that concept then post below. For now, I shall label this thread as "WIP" as you do what you have to do.

[Fox]

Okay!  Let's try this now!

Sorry for the wait on this, but I'll be stepping in and taking care of this Fruit's approval process from here on out!

So, here's the thing. I know this Fruit is different from Oven's Netsu Netsu no Mi, even conceptually. But we're going to need to make some tweaks here and there in order to really hammer it home that this Fruit is different. Additionally, I'm going to suggest some general tweaks to make this Fruit feel a bit more, hm... Cohesive, I suppose, is a good way to put it.

First of all, you note a difference in how the user interacts with solids and liquids/gases; namely, the fact that only with solids does the user need to actually physically come into contact in order to move the heat. Now, here's my issue with that - it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense? I'm going to propose that this Fruit requires the user to physically come into contact with anything they want to move heat into or from, regardless of its state of matter. This legitimately makes more sense, given what this power is all about, and it also makes it a little more distinct from Oven's Fruit (which is able to seemingly instantly super heat anything in his vicinity). That said, you could probably replicate this later on by expanding on the idea of "touching" the air, giving you some "area of effect" abilities?

In the second paragraph, you mention that it is "easier to transfer heat if heat is readily available". I would genuinely argue that this line of thinking doesn't make sense, because this Fruit is all about heat transference; why would they be unable to transfer heat that isn't there? I would suggest cutting this paragraph almost entirely - leaving the first sentence - and then rewriting it to suggest that the user can move heat from their own person. Which actually takes me to my third and final tweak.

The way you're proposing that the heat you're taking away is stored in a sort of doughy red form? I'd like to suggest instead that the heat that the user themselves should be the conduit for the heat that they're manipulating, meaning that, instead of having a doughy, red, physical form, the heat would instead be stored within the user's body itself. This opens some things up - the user could, for example, expend their own body temperature in order to heat something else, and then restore their own body temperature by drawing upon whatever heat is in their environment. Conversely, this it's own limiter, since, say, the user couldn't draw upon all of the heat in a desert during the day without repercussions!

Anyway, get back to me once you tweak this Fruit a bit. If you want to discuss any particulars, you know how to get in touch~

[Fox]

I think is fixed up now!

[Jade]

Alright! It's been a minute, so I had to refresh myself on what I had said before...

Honestly, this is looking much better! That said, with such a technical power, I'm going to get a little nit-picky with the language you're using, because your phrasing makes all the difference in the world. See, in your Weaknesses, you've said the following...

The Devil Fruit user is subject to their environment. They can only transfer the heat that exists in the environment.

If I'm going to be honest, this is rather poorly-worded and actually results in a limitation on the Fruit that I don't think needs to exist, unless I'm misreading it. The first sentence can probably be removed - it would be wild to assume otherwise, honestly - and the second should probably be removed or reworded so that it makes it clear that the user can transfer heat from themselves as well. It might not be smart to chill themselves in that manner, but hey, it might be an interesting idea if they ever get a high fever or something!

Again, sorry to get nit-picky, but clear wording is going to make a ton of difference with this ability. I'd genuinely suggest going through this, reading what you've said very carefully, and making whatever other little edits you think necessary - and then get back to me when you're done, so we can hopefully get this Fruit approved!

[Fox]

Here we go...?!

[Jade]

Hm... Hmm... Hmmm...

I think... You're good to go - I'll give this the stamp of approval!
