Anken-Anken no mi

The Anken-Anken no mi is a paramecia type Devil Fruit that was consumed by Don Gatling. It allows the user to change the state of matter of whatever they touch. Anything non living things touched by the user can be quickly switched between solid, liquid, and gasious forms of it self.

## **Strengths and Weaknesses**

### Strengths:

The Anken-Anken no mi is one with a lot of potential. The ability to change the states of matter of objects and manipulate them leads to near endless creative possibilities. Basic uses could be storage/transportation of materials all the way to create large structures out of thin air.

The Anken-Anken no mi is one of the rare Devil Fruits that can give the user a counter to the enate weakness to water among devil fruit users. By solidifying the water before submersion the user can avoid drowning.

### Weaknesses:

The fruits major weakness is that no living object can be effected by the users ability. While this is normally a standard drawback to most power sets, this is the anken-anken no mi's only major weakness.

However another weakness is that to manipulate a substance the user must make physical contact with it. However the user can freely manipulate something they've already touched, unless its returned to its original form.

And the fruits final weakness is that the user can not effect things that don't fall uner solid, liquid, or gas. Meaning all forms of plasma or energy are out of the reach of the user.

## **Usage:**

Don Gatling demonstrates a proficiency with the fruit, clearly his experience with the fruit has shown him the possibilities open to him. However his usage is still limited compared to the peak of the Anken-Anken no mi's potential abilites.

When Don uses his ability to shift something state of matter he refers to solidification as "First", liquidification as "Second" and gaseous transformations as "Third."

These titles will prefix any attack based on what form his ability takes.

#### **Named Attacks:**

**First: Tempest Strike -** Where Don Gatling whips his large machine gun and shoots air towards a target. The air solidifies into a hard rock liek substance and blugeons said target.

**First: Mallet -** When Don uses loose debris to form a dense ball which becomes the end of a hammer.

**First: Konobo -** Don turns his machine gun into a gelatnous like substance, absorbs some solid objects, hardens his gun, and creates a large metal bat to attack enemies.

## **Potential Awakening:**

The Anken-Anken no mi has the potential to be one of the most creative oriented abilities among Devil Fruits. This is due to the fact that the user is most likely always surrounded by air. If the user is to take advantage of this they could use the air to form solid objects at any time.

For example: You could mimic the Sky Walk technique by forming blocks of air beneath your feet with each step. While the blocks would fall, you could leap from one to the next. You could also just form a pillar of solidified air beneath you, raising you up indefinitley.

If the user could learn to manipulate the objects they create, to a similar extent that Gild Tesoro did in Film: Gold, the user could turn any situation into an unfair advantage. The user could create weapons, armor, gigantic soliders and massive structures in meer seconds.

A potential awakened ability could being able to shift between your own states of matter. This would convert the Devil Fruit from a standard Paramecia to a Special Paramecia. They'd be able to be come infinitley dense, a complete liquid, or an intangible gas all while remaing sentience and your other abilities.
