Hiiii everyone! I'm so sorry for not updating in a while, I had to take care of some stuff this past month and didn't have time to write more ugh. Anyway, I'm back now so here ya go! (Also sorry for the shorter chapter but I wanted to explain stuff)
"The Mani-Mani fruit. One of the most powerful and deadly devil fruits in the world. It allows its user to manipulate almost anything, including people. The size of the object that's being manipulated doesn't affect the user, however the object (people, weapons, structures, etc.) is moving it's harder to manipulate because the user also has to manipulate the force around it. It sounds complicated but it gets easier as you get used to it."
Kira sat on the bed, her right thigh pressing against Marco's, who was sitting next to her. On her lap rested a large, thick book titled: A PIRATES GUIDE TO DEVIL FRUITS AND THEIR USES.
"That's awesome! Man, with a fruit like that you could do anything!" Marco said, his voice bubbling with excitement and his eyes shining. Kira glanced at him briefly, chuckling, before returning her attention to the book. For some reason, this particular fruit deeply intrigued her. It seemed to make the user invincible, but she knew that wasn't really the case.
"Marco, listen to this." She nudged him to get his attention, snapping him out of his devil fruit fantasies.
Kira cleared her throat, scanning the page for the paragraph she was looking for.
"Ah, here it is." She began to read, her eyes widening. "Although the Mani-Mani fruit is indeed incredibly powerful, it has many serious drawbacks to using it. For starters, there is a limit to how much one can manipulate. The amount and the range depends on the person's bodily and mental health. For example, if the user is extremely fit and intelligent they would be able to release more power for a longer period of time. This fruit drains the user's stamina too, so much so that if you use it too much it doesn't matter how healthy the user is, the user will pass out or, in worst case scenario, die. Also, if overused enough, the users physical body will start to break under the strain. Another drawback is that in order to manipulate living things, like people, the user has to touch bare skin. This fruits powers are hindered if an attacker is fully clothed, or if the user cannot get close enough to touch them. Also, the fruit is so powerful that the user will not be able to control it fully, no matter how much they train. This means that even if it's not intentional, the user will control people by simply brushing up against them. To prevent this, wearing gloves can help.
One of the powers of this fruit is that when manipulating a person the user can also use that persons devil fruit. For example, if the user were to touch someone with an ice ability, the user could also use that power. However, the user can only use the other person's power for up to five minutes, and the user can only use one other devil fruit at a time. This means that while the use may be controlling two people at once who both have devil fruit powers, the user can only use one of those powers at a time. Also, using someone else's devil fruit power is extremely taxing for the Mani-Mani fruit user. Doing it more than once is considered very dangerous and may even result in severe physical injuries or even death.
Even with all those drawbacks, this fruit is still amazing. It can do almost anything, including manipulating the elements (mostly air), people, surroundings and more. Also, the fruits power levels rise with emotions. If the user is feeling angry or upset, the fruit reacts and power levels rise dramatically.
Because the Mani-Mani fruit is not a logia type, the user can normally use haki along with its powers. It actually enhances a person's Conquerors Haki, if the user has it.
Overall, this devil fruit is dangerous, for enemies and the user alike. If the person reading this is searching for this fruit, be careful. With much power comes much responsibility, and if this power is abused many lives may end, including your own."
Kira and Marco were silent for almost a full minute after she finished, dumbstruck. They both stared at the fading picture of the fruit, the ink grey and blotchy. Finally Kira spoke, her voice raw and scratchy.
" I-I think...I want this devil fruit. I'll find it and use it, Marco, and then I'll really be able to protect everyone." Marco stared at her, trying to read her face, but all he could see was cold determination.
I'm going to protect everyone and make Whitebeard the King of the Pirates. Just you wait, Shanks!
