Ilyana Kozlov

## Devil Fruit

Perhaps most obviously, the Devil Fruit sees considerable usage when it comes to her dealings with others when it comes to business, having made a name for herself throughout the Underworld for the sheer potential for her to make deals and transactions for articles possessed by others both typical and atypical. At first, when fulfilling requests or terms in a barter, Camilla would naively actually exchange the articles of her coffers for what an individual may offer in exchange, but as she progressed she learned to simply take away an immaterial concept or status that achieves a similar effect while instead adding to her treasury, taking away an aspiring movie's star unattractiveness and lack of confidence in exchange for more favours until she completely owned that individual without spending a proverbial or conceptual penny. She also often serves as a middleman for conceptual and immaterial deals that cannot normally be exchanged between individuals, taking a cut and commission fee growing her treasury further with each transaction. Others are granted contractual arrangements and "subscription fees", guaranteeing her a level of "income" of a pre-selected kind as time progresses. Even things produced by one's Devil Fruit can be bargained for, though it does not appear that she can buy the ability to create more from a Logia or Paramecia.

* **Deki Deki no Appraisal:** *Lie Detection, Strength Detection, Determine the value of items and people. Manifests in a variety of ways, allowing her to determine the parts and attributes of an individual or object most useful for their function, whether it be a Devil Fruit, the sheer height of a giant, a structural weakpoint of a building, a slight mistake in a closed wound by even the most skilled of surgeons, et cetera. This works by beginning a deal with another individual and never finishing, as her conceptualization of the deal and the ability to own it. Ilyana can appraise the value of a statement, an attack, a body part to it's user, etcetera, allowing her to be extraordinarily precise in combat if she needs to be. Treasure Hunting Utilities by finding things of immense value.*
* **Deki Deki no Pledge:** However, her ability to make dealings is not restricted to the concept of that with others, as it is also possible to make dealings with oneself. By creating **Pledges** with herself, Ilyana can program her techniques and abilities to occur automatically regardless of her condition or awareness, seemingly enable to react to assassination attempts and mitigate them if not entirely negate them entirely on reflex, and in combat focus solely on the more advanced or deliberate applications of her Devil Fruit and have it do certain things on it's own without her direct input at times. She can seemingly manifest automatic shielding of variable layering and nature, ranging from anything to a collection of artifacts suited for defensive purposes, an immaterial aegis of conceptual nature that wards against and protects against incoming attacks or even a sudden increase in emotional or mental fortitude, as the only limits are what she has within her vast Treasuries, and the extent of that which she has gathered. Her inherent attributes can also similarly be brought under her control, seemingly enabling her feats that a normal human would simply have no control over naturally.
	+ **Pledge: Feedback:** For example, in lieu of an ancient Varangian martial technique, Ilyana has demonstrated an unerring dominance over the biological phenomenon known as *biofeedback*. Ilyana's muscles as long as she desires are in a constant state of damage and repair, the very same process associated with exercise. As a result, Ilyana has demonstrated the ability to grow increasingly physically stronger gradually, as well as sculpt her body with little to no effort granted that she consumes the requisite foods, and this makes actual intensive training that much more effective.
	+ **Pledge: Unison:** In addition, Ilyana has demonstrated an ability to leverage her ability to make pledges to overcome abilities and techniques revolving around the manipulation of her own body, easily breaking through neurological and paralytic effects without an accompanying physical impediment by merely willing herself to move regardless of these effects, forcing her body to listen to her commands as it's owner and prioritize them even over the signals of her own nervous system. This also enables her a distinct mastery over another Varangian technique, focusing on controlling the body to move as if one single unit, every cell, tissue, and fiber.
		- **Unison: Instinct:** For Ilyana, this translates to at the basic level having her body act considerably faster than it otherwise would by overriding her neural impulses with her status as a Deki Deki user, transforming the delay between her mind and body to almost nothingness. It is said that every creature at the brink of death will eventually feel unison with every single cell in their bodies as the body will attempt to survive, this means that if all cells work together. This technique works in order to gain the co-operation of every part of one's body, further heightening the concentration of the individual as there is no other form of emotion or thought that will interfere.
		- **Unison: Focus:** It also further raises one's resistance to any force as all of the cells work together in order to perform a single action against any kind of force. While the extent to which this is accomplished in practice varies from practitioner to practitioner, Ilyana's usage of this technique as a result of her Deki Deki no Mi is considered truly monstrous; demonstrating the ability to harness the energy of every cell to perform attacks release immense amounts of energy, a physical, bodily phenomenon distinct from the pseudo-spiritual concept of Jio-Ken.
		- **Unison: Recover:**
		- **Unison: Advance:**
	+ **Pledge: Automate:**

* **Deki Deki no Claim:** Even more infamous however than her ability to **Barter** and ability to **Pledge** is her ability to **Claim** however, as those who owe her favours, especially extremely valuable ones that may have catapulted their career may be able to attest to the ever-growing spectre of control over their lives that her ability enables her to exhibit. This singular ability has also deterred action against her to a considerable extent, as few would willingly run up a tab against Ilyana, even those as wealthy as the Underworld Emperors due to having no say in what she may choose to claim according to her whims. Thus, perhaps the most clever and talented use of Ilyana's Devil Fruit may very well be her social ingenuity to make falling into debt against her incomparably alluring, being described as making a pact with the Devil in exchange for bottomless wealth at the price of one's soul, at times, quite literally. This also makes her incredibly dangerous to fight for people with pre-existing debts against her of course, as one could be stripped of important things to one's function where one stands only to see her empowered by them in the next moment. It is for this reason that the ability has seen comparisons to the Hero of the Seas' own Nikyu Nikyu no Mi. Everything that a person, with no exceptions, can be bought, sold, claimed as property, and used freely by the owner of this Devil Fruit, from one's very identity, one's sentience, inhibitions, wealth, power, even loyalty and affiliations. To those unaware of the mechanisms behind the Devil Fruit, Ilyana's abilities have been incorrectly labelled as almost omnipotent, and compared to cheating with the use of her Paramecia, having an intricate understanding of the utility of her toolbox. One's ability to give birth, to feel emotions, even one's ability to speak can be, and has been taken by Ilyana over the years from different people, with seemingly no limit to the nuance , quantity, and depth to which Ilyana can access.
* **Deki Deki no Barter:**

* **Deki Deki no Vault:** In a similar light however, Camilla is known to be extraordinarily resourceful with what she *has* claimed; exploiting the vast astronomical wealth contained within her Treasury in extremely creative and remarkable ways through her utter dominance over all of her possessions.
	+ **Vault: Glamour:**
		- **Glamour: Masquerade:** Through **Masquerade**, Camilla can adopt the identities of an ever-increasing pool of candidates that owe her fealty or debts, or have otherwise been persuaded into having their identities rest within the clutches of her Vault, enabling her to seemingly completely don and mimic the mannerisms, identities and behaviours of those in her grasps with jarring efficacy and an appearance that matches said individual, with even their own family unable to tell her apart from the original.
		- **Glamour: Persona:** Alternatively, through **Persona,** by adopting elements and, for better or worse, impressions of an individual's guise, appearance, and demeanour in general, Camilla has demonstrated the ability to significantly alter the way people perceive her and relate to her by making use of the accumulated nature of these characteristics. Notably however, is her ability to reflect these characteristics to levels that would appear to be normally beyond that of which any normal person should be able of possessing, demonstrating an excess of otherwise conventional human qualities such as demonstrating beauty to a genuinely supernatural degree and gaining mesmerizing, in some cases hypnotic properties, or in other cases, demonstrating the ability to seemingly simply not stand out to a superhuman degree, not rendering her invisible physically but socially rendering her almost unnotable, as if the extra in the background of a movie.
			* **Persona: Bloodlust:** Mercenaries often come to her after retirement in order to leave their lives behind and adopt a new identity, and often ask to take with it their sense of bloodlust and apathy developed on the job, something she gladly indulges in often in exchange for something else. Regardless of what she asks for however, this grants her the ability to liberally make use of this bloodlust and project her Killing Intent outwards.
	+ **Vault: Onslaught:** Ilyana is also able to use the artifacts stored within her treasury themselves as weapons which she can choose to expel in a violent Onslaught of tremendous force, the shape, pattern, and intensity of which she can manipulate at will, seemingly demonstrating the ability to manifest her treasures from thin air and manipulate them telekinetically, being able to do so with individual items or firing a multitude of them at once. Due to the vast variety of items within her treasury and the unique effects each of these items may have, attempting to block individual treasures while it can be done can tend to be extremely dangerous due to their properties. This torrent of steel among other things can be opened seemingly anywhere within a given radius of Ilyana, and is an expression of such tremendous firepower that she is known to have repelled entire fleets and armadas, as well as single-handedly hold entire nations hostage with what she has claimed to be a small exhibit of her treasury. The full scale of Ilyana's treasury is unknown, as it is not obvious what all is even in her treasury considering how her abilities work, with a museum having claimed that it's exhibits mysteriously vanished at one point or the other. Combined with Busoshoku Haki, especially **Emission** or **Internal Destruction**, and her ability to *enhance* the quality of her items, it becomes easy to see why this rain of artifacts is extraordinary dangerous. Upon firing them, Camilla has demonstrated the ability to instantly return them to the vault upon impact with such speed that they appear to have been illusionary, exploiting the basic ability to retrieve and manifest her treasures at will. Alternatively, in a burst of golden light, she can return them in an explosive blast of golden energy by releasing the value of chosen treasures on impact, though it would appear this expends her stamina gradually in a way comparable to some of her other applications. This pseudo-telekinetic control over these dominated items means she can fight with her bare hands alongside some of her best weapons, making herself in combat almost overwhelming to keep up with. Among the items within Ilyana's artifacts are weapons forged of Seastone, enabling her to obilierate even Logia Devil Fruit users without the invocation of her Haki, working because Devil Fruit abilities can still affect Seastone, they simply negate abilities on contact.
		- **Onslaught: Admiral:**
	+ **Vault: Invest:**
		- **invest: Interest:** By exploiting the *Interest* of her Treasury Camilla has demonstrated a limited ability to heal herself and others that she owns, and repair those items within her possession by "increasing their value", restoring their quality gradually. By focusing, she can increase this effect to a notable degree, though without the unique precision and ability to prioritize possessed by a doctor or specialist in the field operating manually. Similarly to the concept of repairing however, she can also enhance the value of things within her possession, empowering her physical and mental characteristics by focusing her *Interest* at the cost of removing or diminishing the constant gradual universal enhancement across her entire Treasury. Due to this cost and her preference for having things naturally appreciate, this enhancement tends to have diminishing effects if spread too thinly, and in fact, tends not to be used on herself, having the best value on objects,
		- **Invest: Savings:** instead, Ilyana has demonstrated the ability to tap into the reserves of physical power and skill that she has stripped away from many a would be or formerly powerful combatant in order to significantly increase her own physical power and compete against the might of some of the most physically imposing powerhouses in the known planet, with her strength appearing beyond even what one would expect from a superhuman giving her frame and build. Due to accumulation, the power of **Savings** is an augmentation to her physical capabilities and life force that is greater than the sum of its parts in all attributes, granting her extraordinary levels of accompanying vitality many have compared to the usage of Jio-Ken, greatly diminishing the way she experiences physical pain even if damage is dealt and being compared to accessing stores of energy easily worth more than her age in years. If shared with others, Ilyana can somewhat leverage this to heal others, but only if they relinquish themselves in some capacity to her, much in the way vampires were considered mythologically to create fledglings.
		- **Invest: Reimburse:** Without active usage however, the Deki Deki no Mi is associated with an interest that passively grows the size of the individual's Vault, and thus everything that is contained within it. The individual who consumes the Deki Deki no Mi is blessed with what is in effect then, virtually endless growth albeit at a finite, linear, and gradual rate, resulting in many wishing to possess this Devil Fruit due to it's sheer potential to reinforce one's own abilities and attributes. Physical strength and speed overtime even if consumed by an ordinary human who hasn't used the fruit often rises to solidly superhuman in scale, one's funds seemingly multiply themselves with time as if stored in a bank collecting interest, one's assets continue to appreciate in value: factories growing more efficient, thralls of the Devil Fruit user seemingly become stronger and more capable with time, one's physical senses improve, and the list goes on. Together with an active user of the Devil Fruit however, as is the case with Ilyana, and the growth rate unleashes it's true potential. As one trains, the amount of physical strength one has increases, and thus so does the Interest gained on the stockpile of physical strength one possesses, and if one can claim the physical strengths of others, one's Vault expands further which results in one's *Interest* expanding further. This has resulted in such unique occurrences as a practical lack of need to sleep, as Ilyana's hours of rest have been affected by this Interest. Similarly, so has her nourishment, giving her a reputation for not having eaten or drunk for extended periods of time. As a result, while the magnitude of any attribute will always be finite, the Deki Deki trades the infinity of some Paramecias and Logias for an *eternity.* Ilyana believes that this aspect of the Devil Fruit can be leveraged into functionally endless youth as long as she continues to actively fight against it, unlike the passive Hobi Hobi no Mi. Even one's Haki is not immune to this, gradually growing to a similar extent. In some cases, these can take ordinary attributes to supernatural levels, resulting in unique effects because of them that otherwise would not be replicable.
		- **Invest: Reallocate:** Ilyana has demonstrated the ability to, as she can use her possessions freely, liberally take the organs and to some extent at times the cells of those who owe her fealty in some capacity and supplant them with her own, seemingly enabling her an accelerated level of healing even beyond that of tapping into her Savings, or simply to enhance the power of Unison. The normal human body has 60 trillion cells, and Vanagandr, being much larger and descended from giants, have atleast triple that amount, in 180 trillion. However, through reallocation Ilyana can take the bodily characteristics of deceased invididuals whose corpse she owns and use them as if her own *because they are her own* as she is in possession of them, grafting an individual onto her body by right. She can also use the vast supplies of raw materials in her Treasury to repair items similarly. As a result, she has demonstrated the ability to call upon inhuman characteristics of those slain if she has access to them, or even at times those given up to her in order to blend in freely. (*Non Canon Info: She currently has the ability to talk to fish due to trading with the Mermaid, half-Kuja Ariel to live as a human after falling into her love sickness, and has even demonstrated an ability to weaponize seawater she controls via Ultramarine as a result.)*
		- **Invest: Planning:** *Second Mind(s), Intellectual Reinforcement, Vast Multitasking Potential.*
	+ **Vault: Surveillance:** Ability to expand her Mind's Eye and Kenbunshoku Haki through items stored within her Vault.
	+ **Vault: Expel:** Ability to release things stored within coffers, conceptual things mostly. Yet still, for immaterial objects and things not able to be classified as artifacts, Ilyana yet still has demonstrated the ability to expel those and completely control them, possessing such powerful tools in her arsenal as clouds given to her by the Yonko Donk E. Kong and created by the World's Strongest Devil Fruit in the Kumo Kumo no Mi. As a result, her sheer versatility in combat combined with the potency of the effects she can manifest is considered to be bottomless by many. In some capacities, this aspect of the Devil Fruit is similar to the virtually infinite versatility of the Soru Soru no Mi, as where anything can have a Homie implanted in them and manipulated, almost anything can be bought and similarly subjugated, though with the comparative limitation of needing to buy it or otherwise obtain it first to influence it, as opposed to the Soru Soru no Mi's ability to immediately wrest control through implanting a soul. Even concepts such as one's gender can be freely traded and thus acquired by Ilyana, with her contracts enabling some of the fastest, most pain-free transitions on the market through one of her subsidiary companies in Vostok Corp. By placing some kind of force on bullets or other projectiles, or invoking concepts of acceleration stored within her gun combined with **Emission**, Ilyana is capable of firing extremely deadly Seastone bullets obtained through Marine contacts. In some cases, she can even release the bounty of the harvest reaped by nations indebted to her to the islands under her Northern Union, bringing vast agricultural produce for little to no innovation, or even purchase one "spin" from its associated Devil Fruit user in order to seemingly produce a perpetual motion machine by applying it to wheels, allowing her Northern Union to access an almost unlimited source of power for no input.
	+ **Vault: Scale:** Size Manipulation
	+ **Vault: Incubator:** An advanced technique, through clever use of the concepts of life-force, soul, and sentience within her Vault, Ilyana can weave these into objects to create existences not dissimilar to homies, animating her environment. This has granted her the ability to seemingly create Automata from the souls, life-force and sentience that she has since acquired, creating Automata.
	+ **Vault: Executive:** *Control over others. Mind lets her command and suggest thoughts, read their minds, telepathically communicate with and influence them over vast distances. Body lets her control their physical functions with or without their consent, even to the point of making them do things with their bodies they would otherwise usually have no control over, such as contracting their throat muscles till they suffocate, forcing them into a fight or flight mode, or even a frenzy. Access to one's memories enables her to replace one's memories with those within her Vaults, and seemingly achieve strange effects such as switching the hearts of a dead, owned thing and a new owned thing with heart issues and having it work as to her Devil Fruit, both things are simply both hers. In even rarer cases, Ilyana has demonstrated the ability to **use** the bodies of the indivudals she owns, possessing them entirely and acting through them, which combined with Masquerade seemingly enables her to be in two places at once. Compared to the psychic abilities of one Photelle Milan, this access Ilyana has for those who relinquish their minds in some capacity to her can be extended outwards to others if the deal has these conditions, enabling her to serve as a telepathic relay station.*
	+ **Vault: Ambition:** Perhaps the most important aspect of an individual's ability to become a corporate magnate to the extent that Ilyana has become, is the power of one's ambitions. However, Ilyana has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to seemingly siphon the ambitions of those who default on debts owed to her as she desires, emboldening and empowering her spiritual energy substantially as her mastery and the sheer potency of her Haki is greatly improved. By calling on the wealth of spiritual energy within her reservoirs, accumulated by the taxes owed to her to sign her contracts as well as in some cases even direct bartering (helping a rogue pirate stay missing by practically removing/replacing their Haki signature), and the power of her own *Interest,* ilyana can exhibit an absolutely **monstrous** command of **Busoshoku Haki**, **Kenbunshoku Haki**, and even **Haoshoku Haki**, on par with some of the most skilled and decorated wielders of this Haki in the world, and has used the ideas, creativities and talents that she gained from those she has made dealings with in the past to seemingly crowdfund the development of new techniques.
