Mizu Mizu no Mi

The **Mizu Mizu no Mi** is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that grants its user the power to create, control, and become liquid water at will, making the user a **Water Human** (水人間, *Mizu Ningen*). The fruit was originally eaten by Vermithor D. Laena, though after her death Vermithor D. Vhagar consumed the fruit to save his own life.

## Etymology

* *Mizu* is the japanese term for water.
* In the Roleplay, the fruit is referred to as the Water-Water Fruit.

## Strengths

Like with other Logia-type Devil Fruits, the **Mizu Mizu no Mi** grants the user the extraordinary ability to become and control liquid water. This offers several notable strengths that set the user apart in combat and allow the manipulation of not just themselves but the water around them for combat. The primary advantage of this fruit is the user's capacity to transform their entire body into water or parts of it at will. In this form, physical attacks pass harmlessly through them, rendering them nearly invulnerable to conventional strikes. Additionally, by assuming the shape of water, the user can shapeshift into various forms, including a human figure, allowing them to interact partially with the environment while maintaining their fluid nature.

By accumulating additional water, the user can increase the size of their attacks, or concentrate it to increase its pressure. On the ocean, where vast amounts of water are readily available, their attacks are at their most powerful. While in their water form, the user can shape their body into weaponry or form weaponry made of water. Because of their ability to pressurize the water, their liquid weapons can be given the hardness necessary to inflict blunt-force damage upon their opponents. However, it is important to note that these water weapons are not as potent as solid weapons made of materials like stone or metal. Another potent offensive capability of the **Mizu Mizu no Mi** is the ability to fire water as a highly pressurized jet. Similar to power washing, this jet of water can be directed towards their opponents, tearing through their bodies with considerable force.

Additionally, they gain a heightened resistance to most water-based or cold-based attacks, making them significantly more resilient in battle. The **Mizu Mizu no Mi** is a direct counterpart to the Mera Mera no Mi, also known as the Flame-Flame Fruit. This connection signifies the inherent opposition between water and fire powers. Additionally, despite their ability to control water, the user without intense training and practice cannot swim. However, when they do undergo the intense training, they develop a limited ability to swim for short bursts before succumbing to the fruit's inherent weaknesses once more.

### Awakening

Only one person in history has awoken this fruit and their techniques with it have been very limited, that person being Vermithor D. Laena. She gained the ability to manipulate the water inside a person's body to the point where she can also manipulate their blood. Not much else is known about the Awakening abilities.

## Weaknesses

The **Mizu Mizu no Mi** user possesses several weaknesses that must be considered when harnessing its powers. Firstly, the user is highly vulnerable to dryness and electricity. Attacks from users of the Goro Goro no Mi or Suna Suna no Mi, which rank higher in the elemental hierarchy, can prove deadly. However, in contrast they could potentially combat the Suna Suna no Mi user and hit them without Haki, making it a double edged sword. As the user's body is made of water, it acts as a natural conductor, making them susceptible to electrical attacks. Additionally, the Suna Suna no Mi has the ability to dry up the user, further exploiting their watery composition. While it is unlikely, the user could also be contained within a bottle or sponge, limiting their mobility and rendering them incapacitated.

Another limitation of the **Mizu Mizu no Mi** lies in the user's dependence on external water sources to increase the mass and pressure of their water attacks. The water produced by the user has its limits in terms of quantity and pressure. In environments devoid of accessible water, the user must rely solely on the water supply within their own water form. Additionally, when exposed to dry, hot, and heavily sunny conditions, such as a desert, there is a danger of the user evaporating if they enter their water form. Furthermore, the **Mizu Mizu no Mi** is inferior to the Hie Hie no Mi, the Ice-Ice Fruit, in the elemental control hierarchy. Ice, being considerably colder than water, can overwhelm the powers of the **Mizu Mizu no Mi**. Ice attacks can neutralize the user's intangibility, cold resistance, and water immunity, leaving them susceptible to harm. Unlike most attacks that can pass through the user's watery body, ice can strike through and cause damage as it would to an average person.

Like all Devil Fruit users, the Mizu Mizu no Mi user shares the weakness of being unable to swim. Submerging in water nullifies their powers, and without proper training, they will revert to their normal form and risk drowning. This vulnerability to water poses a significant threat to the user's survival. Lastly, the user is subject to the standard weaknesses that afflict all Devil Fruit users. This includes vulnerability to seastone, which weakens and nullifies their powers.

## Usage

Despite having two users, both have been showing using it in different ways while also in similar ways. Even still, the circumstances surrounding their techniques make it so even when using similar techniques, their scale is drastically different based on the user.

### Laena Techniques

* **Twin Water Sword** (双水剣, *Sōzui Ken*, literally meaning "Double Water Sword"): Laena concentrates water from her body into two katanas, using the moisture in the air to give it a solidity and increase the water's pressure to make it as hard as stone. She then imbues them with Busoshoku Haki to harden it, making it as hard as iron. Laena first used this technique in preparation for her other techniques. This technique is considered **Ultimate Stage 1**.
	+ **Bubble Gum** (泡ガム, *Awa Gamu*, literally meaning "Foam Gum/Rubber"): Laena throws her swords made from the **Twin Water Sword** technique toward her opponents, her skin and eyes turning blue as she claps her hands together. Then, the swords transform into a small ball of water that rapidly expands, completely vaporizing whatever it comes into contact with thanks to the condensed pressure. This technique was first used against Mr. 6 in an effort to kill him and protect her kids. This technique is considered **Stage 3**.

### Vhagar Techniques

* **Water Gun** (水鉄砲, *Mizudeppō*, literally meaning "Water Gun"): Vhagar first points his pointer finger toward his target, concentrating moisture from his fingers and the air in front of it to form a small condensed water orb. Then, by concentrating more moisture to increase the pressure and make the orb larger and larger, Vhagar can increase the potency. Afterward, Vhagar fires it toward his target. This technique was first used to defeat a Sea King. It is considered a **Stage 3** technique.
	+ **Pistol Fire** (ピストルの発砲, *Pisutoru no Happō*, literally meaning "Pistol Firing"): Similar to **Water Gun**, Vhagar points his finger forward and concentrates moisture from the air and his body in front of him to form a small condensed water orb. However, he does not let it charge and quickly fires it at his target. Optionally, he can extend his arms outward and form several small dots of water and throw his arms forward to fire them all toward his target. These result in quicker, but weaker versions, of the **Water Gun**. Likewise, it completely soaks its target if it connects. Vhagar first used this technique in his rematch against Golatzar. It is considered a **Stage 2** technique.

* **Water Net** (給水ネット, *Kyūsui Netto*, literally meaning "Water Supply Net"): Vhagar concentrates a large amount of moisture around his arms and forms a wave of water from his hands. He then throws it forward to try and wrap it around an item or person, to trap them. If successful, it will wrap around them and slow it down to drain the thing's kinetic energy and speed until it has none left. Vhagar first used this technique in his rematch against Golatzar, though was unsuccessful. It's first successful usage was against Gugir. It is considered a **Stage 3** technique.
	+ **Water Net Series: Launch** (給水ネットシリーズ: 打ち上げ, *Kyūsui Netto Shirīzu: Uchiage*, literally meaning "Water Supply Net Series: Launch"): Vhagar uses **Water Net** in a quick barrage to fire several Water Nets toward a group of people. It has the same effects as Water Net but is notably smaller and takes much longer to kick in. Likewise it isn't as strong as its ase technique, but its large range make it more versatile. Vhagar first used this technique against Kurogaru-Crossbone Pirates and Arawn. It is considered a **Stage 2** technique.

* **Water Prison** (水の牢獄, *Mizu no Rōgoku*, literally meaning "Prison of Water"): Vhagar extends his hands toward his opponent, typically a body part as his arms and hands turn into a full ball of water to engulf his opponent. In doing so, it fully captures them and shrouds them in an orb of water, which begins to suffocate and drown them. Vhagar first used this technique to defeat Lynx. It is considered a **Stage 2** technique.

## History

### Past

Laena consumed the fruit and went on to use it for several years. Eventually, she awakened it before coming into contact with Mr. 6. After a climactic battle resulting in the death of herself and the numbered man, the fruit re-entered circulation where it was then consumed by Vhagar.

## Trivia

* This Devil Fruit would have originally been named Hane Hane no Mi, which would have translated to "Splatter Splatter no Mi", or "Wing Wing Fruit", though was changed to Mizu Mizu no Mi because it was too far departed from the basis of the fruit.
	+ Other names included "Goku Goku no Mi", which had Japanese onomatopoeia for gulping(ゴクゴク, *Gokugoku*).
