Kira Kira no Mi

The Kira Kira no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which allows the user to transform their body into diamond. It was eaten by Jozu.
==Etymology==
* is a Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkling, such as the shining from crystals such as diamonds.
==Strengths and Weaknesses==
The fruit allows the user to turn parts of their body into diamond, granting them exceptional toughness. As diamond is one of the hardest substances in the world, the user's defenses seem to enhance exponentially. Not even Dracule Mihawk, the world's strongest swordsman known for his unparalleled swordsmanship, and his renowned "strongest slash in the world," can penetrate Jozu's body.
One noticeable drawback is the user is unable to move parts of his body that have been transformed into diamond. Therefore, Jozu cannot harden his entire body or he will be rendered completely unable to move.
This fruit's ability is not to be confused with a Logia, as the user cannot create or control diamonds outside his body. The fruit also does not offer the intangibility given to most Logia users. 
Other than that, the user is affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
==Usage==
Jozu's fruit gives him the ability to greatly increase his offensive and defensive capabilities, as his already strong physical attacks are enhanced by the density of his diamond body. Jozu is able to act as an effective barrier to long-ranged attacks, only requiring to step on the way of their trajectory and letting his diamond skin absorb the impact.
This power is made even more effective, especially on Logia users, when Jozu uses Armament Haki. Curiously, Jozu has yet to fully transform into diamond, always leaving a portion of himself unhardened while in combat.
===Techniques===
*: Basically a powerful tackle, Jozu rushes towards an enemy at high speed and slams the person with his diamond-transformed forearm, dealing damage and launching the target a fair distance back. This was first seen being used against Crocodile. This technique's name is derived from the diamond cut, "Brilliant". In the Viz Manga and FUNimation adaptations, its name is the same.
===Non-Canon Techniques===
====Video Game Techniques====
*: Jozu's attack exclusive to the game Unlimited Cruise SP. It is a simple punch from the left, with his fist turned into diamond. Cabochon is a type of gemstone cut.
*: Jozu's attack exclusive to the game Unlimited Cruise SP. Jozu holds his arms above his head, turns them into diamond, and slams them down on his opponent. Octagon is a type of diamond cut.
*: Jozu's attack exclusive to the game Unlimited Cruise SP. While on solid ground, Jozu smashes the ground, grabs a huge chunk of earth, and throws it onto his opponents. So far, Jozu has only thrown ice (he also throws ice in Unlimited Cruise, even when he is not standing on ice). Dispersion is a light phenomenon that occurs in diamonds.
==History==
In the anime, Jozu was shown to have already eaten from the Kira Kira no Mi 26 years ago, at 16 years of age.
==Trivia==
*The fruit was not named until the sixth One Piece databook.
*The Kira Kira no Mi's ability to harden one's body is similar to that of the Supa Supa no Mi, which turns the user's body into steel.
**The same principle is applied with the Rokushiki technique Tekkai and Armament Haki.
*In the Pirate Warriors games, Jozu wields a club and is shown being able to transform his club into diamond which is not an ability with this fruit in the original manga or anime.
