Hie Hie no Mi

The Hie Hie no Mi or Ice-Ice Fruit allows the user to create, control and transform into the element of Ice. Making the user a Ice Human. It was first eaten by Kuzan, better known as former marine admiral Aokiji.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

As a Logia, this fruit allows its user to transform into the element of ice, as well as create and control it on a potentially massive scale, especially to freeze their surroundings. Particularly potent even by Logia standards, with this power running for a ten-day battle it was strong enough to permanently warp the very climate of one half of an island into a frozen, uninhabitable wasteland. The Hie Hie no Mi's power is considered a superior counterpart to the Yuki Yuki no Mi's, ice being a superior freezing agent to snow.

While other Logia fruits give their users the ability to dissipate out of harm's way by turning into their respective elements, it is interesting to note that this fruit is one of the few Logia fruits that can be hit with a physical attack. This is mainly because ice is a solid-state element, and thus, the user cannot simply dissolve out of harm's way as most Logia-users can with their fluid bodies, and it is slower in terms of reforming the body when damaged. However, most attacks are still ineffective against this fruit because its user can simply shatter and reform the ice composing them on impact. Although, while fighting Whitebeard, Kuzan changed the shape of his body to avoid being hit by Whitebeards Haki-infused bisento.

##### Weaknesses

Most of this Devil Fruit's attacks require user to be in physical contact with his enemy directly to freeze them, yet Kuzan, one of the previous users of the fruit, has found ways to extend his combat range, such as creating ice spears or ice tridents. Its freezing ability can also be seemingly countered if the target has sufficiently strong enough Conquerors Haki and the ability to defend themselves with it.

## History

After obtaining the fruits powers and becoming an Ice Human, Kuzan joined the marines and personally asked Monkey D Garp to train. Even after refusing to do so, Kuzan didn't give up and continued to ask and eventually Garp caved and agreed to train Kuzan. Kuzan was then promoted to Marine Admiral. He tried out for Fleet Admiral a few years later but failed and Akainu was chosen instead. Kuzan then quit the marines and joined the at the time, Emperor Blackbeard's crew as one of the Ten Titanic Commanders. After clashing with Monkey. D Luffy at Egghead Island, Kuzan joined Luffy's side instead to help him find the One Piece and become King of the Pirates. Kuzan died 16 years later at the age of 65.

##### 6 Years Later...

The fruit was then found by current emperor Silver D Leon. However, Leon didn't eat the fruit instead he searched for another-then finding a Mera Mera no Mi on a huge Sakura tree in the country of Wano. After months of research and studying, Leon had found out a way to fuse the two fruits into one, making it stronger than just eating both fruits. Leon has created a new devil fruit-The Frostfire Fruit. However after doing so, a pirate making a name for herself-Elsa Tatatsu found a Hie Hie no Mi and is the current user of the Hie Hie no Mi.
