Pushi Pushi no Mi

The **Pushi Pushi no Mi** is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create, control, and transform into or summon emotions or thoughts. It was eaten by Wal D. Mare, the Captain of the Wild Hunt Pirates.

## Etymology

* *Pushukē* (プシュケー, **Pushukē**?) is the Japanese translation/transliteration of the Greek term *psyche*.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### Weaknesses

Inexperienced or unmastered users remain vulnerable to the thoughts and emotions of others while using its powers, which can easily negate their Logia-based intangibility. The blows of hot-blooded people, for example, will actually deal heat damage.

Because this Devil Fruit connects intimately to its user's mental state and thoughts, its powers represent those weaknesses' one mental state has. As no individual, not even the Pirate King, had an utterly-indomitable mind, Mare's own mental weaknesses and stubbornnesses afflict his Devil Fruit powers. Primordial fears, for example ???, will instantly negate the fruit's powers' usage the same as the sea or seastone. At times, this can result in the fruit's powers turning off completely when its user is scared.

The user of the Pushi Pushi no Mi is exceptionally vulnerable to illusions, even more so than the average person. Because the mind believes that whatever it is hallucinating is real (or at least so long as it is mostly convinced), all damage taken will be reflected upon their body--even if it is fatal. By the same vein, if the user is convinced a blow *will* kill them despite their possessing Logia abilities, their own fruit abilities will effectively kill them for the enemy. Ironically, while those with a wide range of rampaging emotions benefit the most from this Devil Fruit, it is this very quality that makes them very vulnerable with it.

## Usage

### Wal D. Mare

   The circumstances which lead to Mare eating the fruit are unknown.

Initially, Mare's usage of the Pushi Pushi no Mi involved using it to manifest and actively utilize his determination and willpower; essentially, his force of will and drive to achieve his goals are manifested in order to assist him in combat. Typically, it manifested as potent energy that enhanced any physical maneuver he made, such as punches, kicks, or acts of strength and agility. He also demonstrated an ability with the Fruit's passive effects, using it to reroute all his thoughts and emotions to one purpose, and with it, his abilities.

   With time and training, Mare became familiar with his Devil Fruit and began to make use of its more destructive abilities. Specifically, he has gained extreme adeptness at the art of manifesting his various emotions in the form of elemental effects: either directly, in the form of lightning or flame, or in a more indirect way. In the latter case, it manifests as green-colored 'emotional energy' and conducts his energy through it, inflicting a physical effect on the opponent similar to it (anger deals burning damage, cold intent to kill ice, sadness a wet and cold feeling, etc.). Regardless, both uses make Mare appear to be a user of magic, or perhaps of multiple Devil Fruit abilities -- though any experienced user can tell the difference, and he lacks the full range of applications that, say, a user of the Mera Mera no Mi could put their powers to, human emotions not necessarily being able to keep up with the immense amount of applications of fire.

Mare himself claims that because he has devoted to using the Pushi Pushi no Mi's offensive capabilities, he has forfeited his chance to restrain or reign in his emotions on his own, and so will always be susceptible to its weaknesses, Haki or not.

The Fruit's powers tend to manifest as flickering elemental effects around Mare's eyes, ears, canine teeth, and horns when he feels strong emotions, determination, or has any other strong thought. From here, they typically moved to his limbs or weapons to empower them.
