Shind Shind No Mi

---

English Name:– Temple Temple No Mi
Classification:– Paramecia
Owned By:– Drake K. Mitibuki(WIP)

---

Appearance:–
    Shind Shind No Mi is a rather large and awkward devil fruit. It's size roughly matching that of a watermelon however oddly shaped for one. The outer skin of the fruit is multi-colored with differing shades of brown, mustard, and olive all in individual vertical patches wrapping around the entire fruit.

    The inside of the fruit however is bright and bursting with a diversity of colors making it an array of colors similar to a rainbow. The texture of the fruit itself is hard and course on the outside suggesting this fruit should be peeled or cut open. The insides however are bursting with lots of juices and flavors never before experienced! All of which will send you straight to the ER for horrible taste.

    Lastly the stem of the fruit is a weak, thin green vine that splits off into two separate leaf structure with very little girth to keep it upright. Henceforth, the leafy greens fall idly atop the massive fruit.

Ability:–

Angkor War

    No, not a misspelling but an indication that the usual powers of the holy and divine have been weaponized for war. Upon eating the Shind Shind no Mi the user becomes a temple-human allowing them to become and house an ever-expanding temple for himself and his followers. This devil fruit doesn't give the user any supernatural charisma or alluring ability to forcibly make followers but those that willing decide to enter and pledge within gain benefits at a give-take relationship with the temple.

    When someone decides to enter the temple they fall into a pool of holy oils on the first floor this is considered pledging to the temple. Once the pledge is complete the temple within the user expands adding an adjacent tower akin to the Angkor Wat, and a copy or image-state save of said person at most recent time of entering is housed within their respective tower in constant reflection and prayer retaining the knowledge and memories of said individual. 

    When a new tower is constructed, the user is able to assign the associated tower to a multitude of differing things allowing them to 'pray over' to compensate for, reinforce, amplify, and/or as a substitute for a regular means for doing something.(I.e Fire burning when wood runs out, making a material sturdier than usual, turning a last of something into another of that item) This translates to the user being able to buff himself and things outside of himself in the truest sense.

    Aside from the cascading towers that occupy the temple, there is an ever-flowing river-way of liquid comprised of holy oils and salt that runs throughout the temple in a water park style. This liquid, as known in religion as Holy Water, occupies the interiors of the temple and is soothing and healing to those that have pledged and is hot and corrosive to those that haven't. This oil that is permissive throughout the whole temple is akin to the holy, blessed water that is used in traditional religious indoctrination.

[/ul][/font][/font]     As the prophet to this massive temple, the user is able to direct the prayers of his followers inside whichever way he chooses in order to gain differing results on a moments notice akin to natural phenomena.(I.e the starting of fire, the striking of lightning, curing of sickness, and etc) Lastly, like all trans-formative paramecia types, the user is able to permeate and control the entirety of the structure internally, both the buildings and holy water, as well as create a physical clone of himself to interact with internal residents.

Full-Body Manifestation
   

Simplified View | Inside: Corridors/Waterways | Inside: 1st Floor | Inside: 2nd Floor | Inside: 3rd Floor Central Tower

     In full body manifestation, the user forgoes the limited mobility that other similar devil fruit have in the form of legs in golem style at the expense of expansion. This further indicating the devil fruits supporter role nature in the sense that the user has no mobility nor any appendages with which to attack with in full body manifestation making him akin to a supporting beacon for his comrades.  
   Angkor War grows at a rate of 10x10 meters for each erected tower. The central tower which all the other towers surround, is 100 meters high consisting of three floors while the other towers are 50 meters high consisting of two.
The waterways that permeate the internal structure now resonate on the outside as the oils and salt mixture leak from and spread around each tower forming a moat of oils and salts around the structure once fully manifested. 


Weaknesses:–

    The Shind Shind No Mi comes with many weaknesses some obvious and others less apparent. The most obvious weakness is that the user of the devil fruit, continuously and profusely sweats. This is reflecting the many waterways that permeate and flood the temple inside of his body. Because of this, the users clothes are always soaked and they leave a wet trail behind them wherever they go similar to a slug. Simply standing still will generate enough sweat per second to leave a significant puddle under and around the user.

    Aside from this, the user of the Shind Shind No Mi is cursed with being a supporter at best with most of the devil fruits abilities revolving around buffing the user or his allies with prayers or triggering natural phenomena in accordance with Hindu miracle work as displayed by historical prophets. As well as the user having no mobility nor appendages with which to strike in full body manifestation. 

    Along with these tight constraints, the user is also only as strong as many towers he has functionally operating. What this means is that if the users towers were destroyed whether internally or during full body manifestation, then he'd lose power akin to how many were destroyed vs how many are left, (I.e 20% destroyed, -20% loss in performance overall). Another structural weakness of the temple design is that the waterways that connect all of the towers carry the holy oils throughout the structure which directly correlates to the users ability to direct prayer power for Devil Fruit abilities. Should the waterways get fully clogged or damaged, then the user would not be able to utilze devil fruit abilities. Lastly, this devil fruit is unable to create something from nothing. The user needs at least 1 unit of said "thing" in order for devil fruit powers to work on it.

Standard devil fruit weakness also apply. Including Seastone and any contact with seawater will negate all buffs for users and allies. And the user can not utilize devil fruit powers while wet.

Alright Kiarus, So here is the big glaring issue here. The power to perform miracles and generate phenomena as an aspect of a building type paramecia is a cool idea but it is far too broad and not easily balanced to offset the rather godly effects.

For one. the sweating is more of a quirk than a weakness as it doesn't really counteract the fruit's abilities. the second really doesn't work either as this doesn't seem like it'd ever be used in one on one combat. and the third I don't think can be, at least not on the internal side as I do believe this type of fruit has very fine control over who they allow in.

When it gets down to it. this is a pretty cool idea, but I really don't think it'd work in the BV fruit system

Ok I think I see your point. Would it be better done if instead of being broad I honed in on maybe 3 things the temple can do. I was thinking maybe healing of course because thats consistent among religious themes. Duplication of objects i.e someone could put something inside the temple and could take it out indefinitely as long as the original remained inside. This would be akin to the breaking of bread or the multiplying of fish. And then lastly some form of holy attacks like seen in traditional RPGs or anime I see we have demon related devil fruit nd etc it could be like an antithesis to those types, Like smite or holy fire etc. I'm open to suggestions and very flexible. What I like more than the abilities is the concept of a temple devil fruit so I'd be very flexible if I could at least keep that. If not I'll try something else no worries !

See the issue is these suggestions all work particularly as their own fruit ability, except perhaps the holy attacks. In fact, the healing fruit does in terms of Mansherry's chiyu chiyu fruit in the actual series. So it is safe to say that a fruit where that isn't the primary focus would only potentially do so in a weaker manner. My personal suggestion would rather than allowing the user to heal, the temple itself would be more a place of recovery, where it'd accelerate healing somewhat and allow for recuperation.

The duplication, unfortunately, is the less likely to ever get passed as it would definitely be its own fruit power, and it'd need more balancing than keeping the original in one of the temple towers.

I know we have a demon Mzoan. But as for the holy attacks. The problem there more stems from the fact that I feel this would stem more from the user's beliefs than being actually holy. Which would kind of the whole idea of them.

There is also the fact that the weakness are particularly situational or more quirks of the type of fruit ability that it is. And the fact that power is affected by prayer power isn't really a weakness or strength either as in a more story-oriented rp like BV, you can any number of faceless followers as well

I would say that you might want to go back to the drawing board for another idea.

Alright, so we're getting to the point that I'm gonna put a time frame. If there is no edits or plans made to change this fruit by next week, I'm archiving this thread
