Iko Iko no Mi

Iko Iko no Mi

---

English Name: Swap Swap Fruit
Classification: Paramecia
Owned By: Chione K. Thutmose (Not yet consumed)

---

Appearance: The Iko Iko no Mi is a peculiar pineapple fruit that has blossomed into that of a flower. It's petals still protecting the fruit within yet giving off a sweet scent (quite deceptive for a devil fruit), these petals are black with the pattern of the devil fruit and at the tips of each a cool yellow. Sprouting from inside the top of the fruit lies its a stem in a mahogany hue also with the pattern of the cursed fruit.

---

Ability: As a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit, the user is transformed into a Swap Human capable of altering the properties of one inanimate object with that of another. This ability can be activated  by physically touching an object, item, or weapon with one hand and completing the transfer of properties by touching another item. The user could, for example, swap the properties of a cannon ball and a marble, making the cannon ball a dud and the marble explode like a ten pound ball of gunpowder making for quite the damaging surprise. At the lowest level of the fruits mastery the user is only able to swap the properties of two items(1 circuit) at a time and will void the swap if they create another circuit; albeit if a cannon ball or bomb explodes as a marble or trinket the object will remain a dud.


Weaknesses: Thanks to the Devil Fruits 'curse' the user is now an enemy of the sea and when submerged under any body of water are robbed of the ability to use their powers or swim thus sinking into the sea.

Seastone effects the user similarly to that of the sea without the need to be submerged in water. The user is robbed of their strength and unable to use their powers.

Flames are very detrimental to the user as they need to touch objects to swap properties. Receiving burns from the flames will make the user unable to touch objects and swap properties.

Swords and other sharp objects may also create a barrier for the user as having their hands damaged will make it difficult to use their fruit powers. In most combat situations it'd be best to avoid defending blades with their palms.

Being as though the properties of objects are swapped the user can be injured by them as long as it holds the properties of say a dangerous object. 

Lastly, the user is incapable of swapping the properties of living creatures nor the ability of devil fruits. Such a power succeeds what the ability is capable of.

<sup>Hey, Xev! I’m really sorry it took so long to get around to this! It unfortunately slipped through the net while we were understaffed. Anyway, I hope that hasn’t dissuaded you, so we’ll get started with the review!

So, we definitely think this concept is workable, there’s just a few aspects of it that may need ironing out to make it more stable. You’ve already jumped a bit on that yourself by removing people and other Devil Fruits from the possibilities! So, let’s talk about relieving some of the restriction behind the power — it’s probably fine if you make it so you don’t need to maintain contact with two objects to trigger the effect. It might be possible to “take” a property from one object and then finalise the swap with a touch of the target object!

So, all we need you to do is make the edits to your application (you can remove that P.S. at the end and maybe write it out in a simplified form as a restriction of the Fruit’s ability?) and then reply when done! If you have any questions, you can ask them here or head on over to our Discord server if you aren’t there already!</sup>

Hi Xev! Are you still interested in applying for this fruit? Please respond within 7 days or this application will be locked and archived.

[Xev]

Sorry for such a late response but I am definitely still interested. I got a bit wrapped up in some things myself, as for the DF, I will definitely make the adjustments as soon as possible and add said PS comment into ability restrictions as soon as possible.

Thank you both for helping me flesh out the devil fruit more, and I look forward to the future of said usage!

[Fox]

Alrighty, Xev! Please reply when you've made your changes to let us know.

[Xev]

Hey Vio , I was making the corrections to the DF as mentioned before but I had a question about the "take" of the property after touching. I was confused, if you meant in that moment, when the user touches the item they "take" the property of it making said objects use vulnerable or if you were referring it to something more like a memory/stockpile of the property.

I found this pivotal since in either scenario it could drastically change the use of the fruit since the former would make the item you "take" from harmless (so to speak) while the latter would leave it in tact prior to touching the next object. 

Sorry for such a late response as well, I've been a bit swamped.

[Vio]

^{Well, Xev, I think that decision’s mostly up to you? If you want a personal opinion, I think either version of this is workable and has its own advantages and drawbacks. The most logical version to fit with the Fruit’s general theme is probably to have the first object maintain its own properties until they get applied to the second one, that way there’s no weird middle stage of the power doing only half of what it’s supposed to do? I can see this version leading to some interesting scenarios!}

[Xev]

I figured that way sounded the most feasible Vio , thank's a million for the feedback, and I'll complete the changes now.

[Xev]

Fox and Vio , all the changes have been made!

[Vio]

^{Phew, hey, Xev! Again, sorry for the wait, I’m all over the place. Anyway, now that that’s covered I can safely say this Fruit is in an approvable condition. All it needs is to be linked to the character! That is, we need the profile link in the Fruit application as well. Add that and we’ll call it done once the character themselves is ready and pending approval!}

[Fox]

Hey, hey, Xev! We haven't seen any progress on a Pending Character. Are you still interested in pursuing this fruit? Please respond within 7 days or this will be locked and archived.

[Fox]

Archived due to lack of response.
