Suru Suru no Mi

<Suru Suru no Mi>

---

English Name:– Rub Rub Fruit
Classification:– Paramecia
Owned By:– Myles Suzuki

---

Appearance:–
The Suru Suru No Mi mostly resembles a banana. The fruit is red in color with the traditional devil fruit swirls along with a long dark green stem.
Some leaves stick out from the stem resembling mistletoe leaves. The fruit's inside is filled with a pulpy like substance comparable to that of a plum.
The fruit gives off an appealing scent making it more enticing to eat but much to the consumer's disappointment it tastes horrendous.

---

Ability:–
This Devil Fruit allows its user to produce pink powdered chalk from the user's hands which when rubbed over any surface including the user's body makes said surface rough and by doing so increases the friction said object can produce.

Weaknesses:– The Suru Suru no Mi has a couple of drawbacks. The first of which is that any roughened up surface created by the fruit will return to normal if sprayed with water since the dust that roughened the surface up will be washed away. The second one is the possibility of self-damage since over rubbing can cause painful friction burns on the user. Finally, the fruit user also has the general weakness of seastone and submersion in water. Both getting the user wet as well as submerging them in water completely removes any effects created by the chalky powder as well as contact with seastone.

So, I can definitely see where you're going with this Fruit - there's some very minor actual changes I'm going to need you to make, and I'll get to those in a minute, but before I do that... I had a little idea that you're certainly free to not use, but I think it could really take this Fruit to the next level.

See, I wouldn't have considered making this Fruit essentially a very particular "production"-style Paramecia, but now that I'm seeing that concept in motion, might I suggest switching from a vague "strange light" to the user creating a specialized chalk-like substance? Powdered chalk applied especially to the hands has been used to prevent slipping in sports where that sort of thing is important, and I could very easily see that concept being exaggerated into a Paramecia like this. It'd even work especially well with the first weakness of the Fruit, where the "roughened up surfaces" can be returned to normal by dousing them with water.

Now, my own unasked-for two cents aside, I am going to need to ask you to provide a link to the user's profile. Super minor thing, really, but it is important. Once you've made your changes, please let us know so we can continue the approval process!

I like your idea more than the random light I idealized! I feel it'll allow for more flexibility later on! Thank you for the suggestion AJ. Either way, I have made the only other change needed that being the profile link! Thanks again.

So, one strange thing to point out here - seastone effects Devil Fruit users in the same way water itself does. We'd discussed how these standard weaknesses affect the user's already-produced "friction powder" in the Discord server, and I see that we've implemented it into the Fruit, but... Unfortunately, I'm going to need to ask you to pick one of your chosen effects and apply it to both submersion and contact with seastone.

[Fennec]

Fixed!

Alright then, we should be good to go! Approved!
