English Name: Tar-Tar Fruit
Classification: Paramecia

Appearance

---

The Reki Reki no Mi resembles a prickly pear, bearing prickly spines that readily stick to skin and clothes. The body of the fruit is black at both ends and brightens to a dark red in the middle. The skin is covered in the trademark Devil Fruit swirls, but the swirls are white in color. The pulp of the fruit is a dark pink and tastes of acrid smoke and chemicals when eaten.

Ability

---

This Devil Fruit turns its user into a(n) Tar Cyborg ("Reki Saibōgu"), granting them the following abilities...

• Tar Production
  
  The Devil Fruit user can produce copious amounts of black tar. Its fumes are toxic, and it sticks readily to just about any surface. Tar is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. The Devil Fruit user can produce tar from any surface on their body.
• Tar Manipulation
  
  The Devil Fruit user is able to readily manipulate the tar that they produce. They can shape it and move it according to their desires. The Devil Fruit user is only able to manipulate tar that they have produced.
• Smoke n’ Fire
  
  Tar is flammable and creates a low flame when set ablaze. The flames create copious amounts of noxious black smoke that shrouds the Devil Fruit user and the surrounding area.
• Toxic Love
  
  The Devil Fruit user gains immunity to the noxious and toxic qualities of the tar and its fumes. They are even able to consume it safely. It has a smoky taste to the user.

Weaknesses

---

• Kairoseki ("Sea-Prism Stone") debilitates the user by sapping their strength and prevents them from consciously controlling or activating their power.
• Submersion in water renders the Devil Fruit user immobile and causes them to sink, preventing conscious control of their abilities.
• Cold and freezing attacks slow how fast the Devil Fruit user can manipulate the tar, making them sluggish and incapable of performing quick movements.

This type of Paramecia is always pretty straightforward, and this one is much the same. There's a minor thing I'd like to see you fix up, Fox, and I think after that we should be good to go: the reference to forcing the tar into a solid state should be removed. Tar, by definition, is not a solid substance; I understand why you'd want to go in this direction, but you'll need to grab an Aspect to make it work.

Also, while I'm here, I'd like to make a suggestion - a lot of Devil Fruits that produce harmful effects tend to give their users some level of protection from them, like how Magellan is able to (mostly) safely ingest poisons. Something like that could be applied here, with the Reki Reki giving Dughall a level of immunity to the noxious and toxic elements of tar. You don't have to include it, but I thought I'd send the thought your way regardless.

Once you've made your edits, reply here and we'll continue with the approval process!

- removed the bit about hardening from the Tar Manipulation section
- added the Toxic Love section, which just adds toxic immunity from tar

Hope that works, AJ! Thanks!

Alright, with that, we can call this one good to go! Approved!
