Devil Fruits and the abilities they grant upon consumption are a core feature of One Piece’s world. Characters can obtain Devil Fruits for a price – a portion of their X-Poinz which represents them consuming and getting to grips with the basics of their ability. Devil Fruits grant numerous benefits to those lucky (or unlucky) enough to eat them, manifesting in one of a diverse array of extraordinary powers. If you wish to obtain a Devil Fruit, you must first have the intended recipient of said ability approved or otherwise pending for approval. You can’t claim a power and sit on it indefinitely! Once you’re at that stage, you can apply for a Devil Fruit by completing and posting the following template up in the Devil Fruit Board.
While you’re working on it, add the WIP label by clicking on the “Actions” drop-down menu at the top of the post, go to “Labels” and then select “Add WIP”. Once you’ve completed it and are ready for a member of staff to assess it for approval, you can do the same again. Just select “Remove WIP” and “Add Pending”. Staff won’t normally look at character profiles that haven’t had the Pending label applied, so make sure you do so!
Please be aware that each member can only have one Devil Fruit application marked WIP at a time in the Devil Fruit Approval board. If you have more than one application marked with the WIP label at a time, the oldest one will be archived.[div align="center"][font size="3"][b]Devil Fruit Name Here[/b][/font][/div]

Here’s a breakdown of everything you’ll need to complete the Devil Fruit template:
Devil Fruit Name Here
The header of your Devil Fruit application should be the name of the Devil Fruit. For example, Gomu Gomu no Mi. There’s nothing more to it than this, really. A Japanese name should consist of roughly two Kana – basically, two syllables – which can either have meaning on their own, be converted from an English word that doesn’t translate properly, or even be a shortened form of a word.
English Name
What would the Devil Fruit’s name be when translated to English? For example, Daz Bones’ Supa Supa no Mi became the Dice-Dice Fruit.
Classification
Is this a Paramecia, Zoan or Logia? If it’s an Ancient or Mythical Zoan, mention so here as well!
Core Concept
The core idea of your Devil Fruit summed up in a few words.
Base X-Poinz Cost
How much does your Devil Fruit cost? Each is different and is dependent on the number of Aspects that the fruit contains!
Permission
Open or Locked! Open means that the Devil Fruit is open to others (and as a result must adhere to being a little more general and only have one weakness). Locked means that the Devil Fruit is entirely exclusive to one character! Please include a link to that character and their name here if your Devil Fruit has the Locked permission.
Appearance
A brief description of what your Devil Fruit looks like. Consider what its original fruit was, what colour it became when the powers entered it, and maybe another distinguishing feature. All Devil Fruits have a spiral pattern. The Mera Mera no Mi’s spirals slightly resemble flames, alluding to the power it contains, though this is the only known Devil Fruit to do so.
Ability
What exactly does the Devil Fruit offer? Describe the core ability it grants to whoever consumes it, and include some basic detail as to why the ability is useful. For example, Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Mi gives his body the physical properties of rubber, making him a “Rubber Man”. This allows him to stretch and twist in various ways, as well as providing him with a natural resistance to blunt force attacks and a complete immunity to electrical attacks. Depending on the complexity of certain powers, they might need a bit more description, but you needn’t go overboard so long as the point comes across decently enough.
Aspects
The actual Aspects that make up the Devil Fruit ability! Try to keep in mind that Aspects only have one main effect, so you may need to break up a Devil Fruit ability into multiple aspects!
Weaknesses
What are the natural weaknesses of your Devil Fruit? Of course, all Ability Users are immobilized by being submerged in water, and weakened to the point of being powerless while in contact with Sea-Prism Stone. But, what are your power’s specific weaknesses? What can be done to hinder or prevent it, or does it make you more vulnerable to certain things? You need at least one exploitable weakness to pass.
