Shima Shima no Mi

The Shima Shima no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants the ability to merge with an island's environment and manipulate it, making the user an . It was eaten by Avalo Pizarro.
==Etymology==
* is Japanese for "island".
==Strengths and Weaknesses==
A user of the Shima Shima no Mi's power can assimilate themselves with the environment of any island, be it natural or artificial, and then manipulate said environment freely. For example, the user can similarly merge themselves with a mountainside or floors built from wood, as long as they are in contact with them. 
Depending on the size of the island, the user can become a fearsome opponent thanks to the sheer scale of their ability's range and the fact that the vast majority of the world's landmasses consist of islands. Even cannonfire from a Marine battleship is not sufficient to hurt or even delay the user when they are merged with a large enough island. The user can further manipulate the landmarks they are assimilated with to perform actions such as emoting or talking. Even objects that are located outside the island's borders can still be reached out by the user. The user is also apparently sensitive to the actions of people that act upon the environment they are merged with, which can be applied for surveillance purposes.
The fruit's most noteworthy weakness comes from the fact that since the user is effectively fused with the island they are controlling, the island itself acts as a manifestation of their body, which means that any significant damage dealt to the island's environment will be reflected on the user's true body while they are merged together. Enemies with enough physical strength can exploit this by attacking any part of the island that is being manipulated by the user, who is otherwise an enormous target, in order to hurt or distract them. 
As indicated by the fruit's name, it is unknown if the user has any limitations regarding non-island locations. This fruit has yet to show control landmass beyond the coastline, as that would be underwater. Otherwise, they are susceptible to all the common weaknesses among Devil Fruit users.
==Usage==
Pizarro utilizes his fruit's ability to become one with the island of Hachinosu, possessing the skull-shaped rock formation at the center of the island to communicate with the island's inhabitants. He is also able to detect prison breakouts through an itching sensation, allowing him to quickly warn others should they happen.
In battle, Pizarro can manifest gigantic arms from Hachinosu's ground and towns that are able to reach and crush ships at sea with ease.
==History==
At the time the Titanic Captains of the Blackbeard Pirates fought Monkey D. Garp on Hachinosu, Pizarro voiced that his Devil Fruit was a new power, suggesting he gained his ability shortly before, likely as a result of the Blackbeard Pirates' Devil Fruit hunting.
==Trivia==
*This Devil Fruit's ability is similar to the Ishi Ishi no Mi's ability, which allows the user to merge with and possess their environment; however, unlike the Ishi Ishi no Mi's ability to merge with stone-based constructs, this Devil Fruit allows the user to merge with any environment. That being said, this Devil Fruit's user is susceptible to sensations and damage applied to the environment they are merged with, a weakness not present in the Ishi Ishi no Mi.
*This Devil Fruit's weakness, where the damage inflicted on the user's environment is shared with their real body, is similar to that of the Shiro Shiro no Mi, where the damage inflicted to the user's outward fortress body is shared with their inner manifestation of their real body.
