Thread Manipulation

After eating the Ito Ito no Mi/String-String Fruit, Donquixote Doflamingo (One Piece) gained the ability to generate and manipulate strings at will, allowing him to achieve virtually any effect he desires, such as controlling the bodies of people like a puppeteer, stitching up his own internal organs, or even slicing through a meteorite.

### Power/Ability to:

Manipulate threads.

The power to **manipulate threads**. Variation of Object Manipulation. Not to be confused with Web Generation.

## Also Called

* Filukinesis
* Linikinesis
* String/Strand Manipulation/Control
* Thread Control

## Capabilities

Users can create, shape and manipulate threads and string, long, thin and flexible form of material. Most commonly, users can generate them and use them to control the movements of people and manipulate their movements akin to how a puppeteer controls puppet. Users can also move threads telekinetically or use them to move other objects. Depending on their tensile strength and durability, thread manipulation can be used as a thin and stealthy weapon to slice up enemies or cut through objects with ease. Moreover, they can shape string into weapons, such as whips and swords, or use them to form shields or traps to bind their opponents and immobilize them.
