I currently have a list of possible Devil Fruit ideas for Cass from my fic An Oracle's Odyssey. Not all of them are completely fleshed out yet and are still subject to tweaking and me figuring out the details, I'd just like to know your opinions on them. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. (If you see an N/A, it just means I haven't figured that part out yet)
Fruit 1
Kibo Kibo no Mi (Scale Scale Fruit)
Type: Paramecia
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to increase or decrease the scale of something exponentially. This can be physical (size, amount/# of things, ect) or metaphorical (force, strength, speed, ect). Only works on the user and objects, not other people
Awakening: N/A
Pros
Would allow Cass to increase the their physical stats for as long as they have the energy to hold their fruit powers
Giant Cass
Pocket sized Cass
Enables Cass’s hoarding tendencies
Cass can be that one meme where one person pulls out an absurd amount of weapons
I can give Cass a giant war hammer and a giant battle ax which I would have to forgo with any other fruit because they’re too big to carry around
The one I can be the most creative with
Fruit 2
Oto Oto no Mi (Sound Sound Fruit)
Type: Logia
Abilities: The ability to become, generate and manipulate sound waves. Grants user control over all sound they create
Awakening: Grants user control over all sound waves
Pros
Ties thematically with Cass’s connection to sound
Ties back to Apollo/the sun god because sound and music (this does include Nika as well bc drums)
Allows Cass to become intangible
Sonic screeches
Sonic vibrations could be used to replicate Whitebeard’s fruit
Very difficult to block sound based attacks (probably the most outright deadly if used properly)
Could use sound waves to break things apart on a molecular level
I actually know what I want the awakening to be
Voice mimicry
Fruit 3
Type: Mythical Zoan
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into the goddess Artemis and tap into her abilities and domains
Nature: Nature is inclined to help & listen to the user
Hunting: Increased physical abilities & aim as well as other hunting abilities
The Moon: Moon beams
Half Form: N/A
Full Form: N/A
Awakening: N/A
Pros
Mood goddess first mate and sun god captain
Ties into nature and the Voice of All Things
Artemis is the twin of Apollo, the greek sun god
Artemis is the goddess of archery and Cass uses ranged weapons
Fruit 4
Hito Hito no Mi Model Hecate (Human Human Fruit Model Hecate)
Type: Mythical Zoan
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into the goddess Hecate and tap into her abilities and domains
Magic/Witchcraft: The ability to practice Greek witchcraft (spells, potions, herbs, runes)
The Night: Nightvision, possible minor control over darkness
Ghosts/Necromancy: Abilities to see and talk to the spirits of the dead
Crossroads: N/A
Half Form: N/A
Full Form: N/A
Awakening: N/A
Pros
One of the most thematically tied to Cass (Greek Mythology, crossroads and decisions, death)
Hecate is also tied to the moon even if she isn't the mood goddess like Artemis
One of Hecate’s symbols is the torch, tying into their connection with Ace
Strong ties to the underworld and death, with Hecate being one of the few deities who can easily travel between realms
Was a titan who helped the gods when over throwing the titans (relevant but the reason is a spoiler)
Called the three headed goddess represent the maiden, the mother and the crone but also the past, present and future
Witch Cass (requires prep work and Cass to make their own spells and magic system)
Fruit 5
Shika Shika no Mi Model Qilin (Deer Deer Fruit Model Qilin)
Type: Mythical Zoan
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into a Qilin and use it’s abilities
Fire breathing
Prophecy
Flight
Shapeshifting
Half Form: The horns & scales of a Qilin, also hovees & horse like legs and tail
Full Form: Fully transforms into a Qilin (“a deer's body, ox's tail, most frequently cloven hooves, a dragon's head, and scales, sometimes with flames emanating from the body.” description from worldhistory.org)
Awakening: N/A
Pros
Ties most closely into Cass’s Oracle shtick as Qilin’s are associated with prophecy, insight and wisdom like Oracles
I actually have ideas regarding the transformations that would take place
A Qilin’s birth is tied to the birth or death of a sage (Cass dying and being reborn)
Qilins are also known to transport souls
The most distinct transformation of all the Zoan ideas and also the most fun
The chimera esque appearance of a Qilin (important and thematically tied but the reason is a spoiler)
Luffy is based on Sun Wukong who also hails from Chinese mythology like the Qilins
As of right now, any of these fruits are possibilities. Cass never getting a Devil Fruit is also an option. I’d love to hear your opinions. Some other miscellaneous notes, I’m a bit on the fence on the idea of Cass being a Zoan. They’re already an Oracle which is a mythological classification on its own. That’s not to say they can’t be both but it’s something I think about. Also, awakenings. If I were to give them a Devil Fruit, I’d want to have them awaken it before the story finishes so I’d love to hear any ideas you have for it
Musings on a type of devil fruit that would work kind of like a curse
💭
The girl manages to touch skin on Sanji and say something along the lines of you'll ruin everything you touch.
Which sounds kind of ominous but nothing happens, so they put the incident and the island behind them. Chopper insists on looking him over but doesn't find anything, sniffling and rubbing at his nose the whole time.
But then Sanji messes up dinner for the first time in years. He's burned it somehow but he doesn't know what exactly he burned or how he missed it.
The others aren't upset, more worried as they keep sending him looks out of the corner of their eyes. He imagines he looks as anxious as he feels.
They write it off as a bad day and eat leftovers. And that would have been it, nothing other than just a bad day... But it happens again.
And again.
And again.
Until things keep getting worse and they finally put everything together.
Grey dust sticks to his suit and skin
All the food tastes burnt and smokey
Everywhere he goes he leaves a sooty hand prints and ashy footprints
He smells like smoke and dirt
Chopper can't be too close because his nose hurts from all the ash in the air.
Luffy goes a little wild eyed when the burning smell gets too strong.
Sanji tries not to let it bother him that they're all avoiding him. He understands they're worried about making him more upset somehow, he understands, but it doesn't help the emotional side of him that's angry and scared.
⚫️
Zoro, Brook, and Robin handle the situation the best.
Zoro eats whatever he's given with the same grunts as always, finishing everything and demanding more booze.
He's around more, not hovering but there in a way he usually isn't. He's stepping in where Luffy can't and they're all grateful for it. He doesn't budge, doesn't flinch, doesn't do anything besides be Zoro and it's so welcoming.
Sanji briefly remembers something about a muddy rice ball and his chest burns from something other than the fucking devil fruit.
Brook doesn't get irritated by the smell or taste - he doesn't have a nose after all yohohoho. It's also hard to feel too bad for yourself sitting next to a skeleton, and he's good company.
Robin is Robin. She smiles at him like nothing is different and she drinks her tea stonefaced, not even flinching at the burnt taste he knows is there. She finishes it and asks for another cup please Sanji.
⚫️
They go back and find the devil fruit user. She's young and scared, her eyes going big when she sees Sanji.
She hunches her shoulders when Nami starts yelling at her, her eyes getting bigger and wetter with each word.
She didn't know and they know that's the truth, which actually makes things more frustrating because they had hoped they'd be able to work out their anger on someone.
She immediately takes the curse back, a small black dot like a ink splatter appears on Sanji's skin where she originally touched him days ago. She sets her hand against the dot and it slides over her fingers and settles against her wrist before fading away.
She says sorry again, briefly saying something about still getting familiar with the devil fruit but they don't really care. They got what they wanted and they leave the island behind them.
⚫️
Luffy clings for a few days, like he's trying to make up for when he couldn't.
Sanji cooks and cooks and cooks. They have a feast and his face hurts from smiling so much.
The others disperse after eating, leaving Sanji alone to reflect.
Zoro doesn't linger in the kitchen with the excuse of wanting more booze, Robin doesn't ask for tea before going to settle down and read, and Brook has been dragged off by Luffy.
It's quiet.
The kitchen smells like food, not smoke. There's no ash on the floor or soot on the counters. His clothes are clean and he can smell only himself when he takes a sniff.
He cleans up, his mind going through everything as he brews some tea.
Robin smiles when he delivers the cup of tea and she takes a sip with a pleased hum.
He ends up sitting down with Luffy and listening to Brook play for a little while, the breeze carrying the notes out over the water. He eventually gets up and heads back to the kitchen.
He happens to pass Zoro napping and tosses a bottle onto his lap, ignoring the lazy grey eye that he knows opens to look at him as he walks back to the kitchen.
The Niji Niji no Mi is a paramecia that allows anyone who eats this devil fruit become a distortion human. Which lets the user bend, twist, and reflect objects. The objects can be both material like metals and wood or intangible like air and light. However, it can’t affect organic matter such as humans.
The user can use this power to bend light around their body to enhance their strength, go invisible, and create a shield to keep enemy attacks from reaching them. Those that master this fruit can even use it to create illusions.
Chi Chi no Mi (Blood-Blood Fruit)
The Chi Chi no Mi is a paramecia that allows anyone who eats it to become a blood human. Which lets them create (well create more) and manipulate blood for a variety of purposes. These include, attack, defense, recovery, and even controlling the enemy.
The user can launch blades of blood or create creatures out of blood to attack their enemies. They can also harden their blood to make it so blades can’t leave deep cuts. The user can also change the blood type of the blood they create for blood transfusions. If the user’s own blood enters the opponent’s wounds then they can even take control of the opponent’s body. The more of the user’s blood in the enemy, the easier it is to control them.
Orora Orora no Mi (Aurora-Aurora Fruit)
The Orora Orora no Mi is a logia devil fruit that turns the person who eats it into an aurora human or northern lights human.
This devil fruit gives the user the abilities of the Pika Pika no Mi (Blink-Blink Fruit or Light-Light Fruit) and the Jiki Jiki no Mi (Magnet-Magnet Fruit). Basically allowing the user to turn themselves into and produce light while also giving them control over magnetism as well.
Gitai Gitai no Mi (Mimic-Mimic Fruit)
The Gitai Gitai no Mi is a paramecia devil fruit that allows anyone who eats it to become a learning human.
The user of this devil fruit is able to freely copy any technique they see. The user can also make their clothes mimic the properties of other substances such as iron. If the user is advanced enough, they can also use their hair to create copies of themselves.
Awakening
If the user manages to awaken their devil fruit, they’ll find out that it is a mythical zoan type similar to the Gomu Gomu no Mi.
The devil fruit’s new name is the Saru Saru no Mi, Model: Sun Wukong (Simian-Simian Fruit, Model: Monkey King).
The devil fruit now gives the user all of the abilities of the Monkey King.
Kotoba Kotoba no Mi (Word-Word Fruit)
The Kotoba Kotoba no Mi is a paramecia devil fruit that turns anyone who eats it into a word human.
The user of this devil fruit can create words and make them come to life. They can use this power for attack, defense, and to enhance others.
Example
The user can make the word blizzard create a blizzard.
The user can make the word wall produce a wall.
The user can make the word strengthen to enhance someone’s strength.
The stronger the word, the more energy it requires to create and activate. So what words can be used depends on the user’s current strength.
Nesuto Nesuto no Mi (Nest-Nest Fruit)
The Nesuto Nesuto no Mi is a paramecia devil fruit that turns anyone who eats it into a nest human.
This devil fruit allows the user to turn their body and the bodies of others into nests to spawn various species of bird that are loyal to the one wielding the Nest Fruit.
Tawā Tawā no Mi (Tower-Tower Fruit)
The Tawā Tawā no Mi is a paramecia devil fruit that turns anyone who eats it into a tower human.
The powers of the Tawā Tawā no Mi work similarly to the Shiro Shiro no Mi (Castle-Castle Fruit) by turning the user’s body into a structure to store items in. However, unlike the Castle Fruit, the Tower Fruit is much more self sustaining. The user of this devil fruit is able to spawn creatures inside their body similar to an rpg game over time that can later be released to attack those outside of the user’s body.
The strength and amount of creatures created over time depends on the devil fruit eater’s strength. The stronger the user gets, the stronger the creatures are and the higher their creation rate is. The user can also give the creatures equipment and train them to further strengthen them.
However, this devil fruit doesn’t provide the same mobility as the Castle Fruit.
The Miru-Miru no Mi looks like a cloudy purple crystal ball that gives off the illusion of the clouds moving on the fruit.
Strengths
The Miru-Miru no Mi gives the user the ability to see into the future. The user can at least use it for an hour every 5 hours. The user can't intervene in the future or tell anyone about what's going to happen because if they do, the future changes in a bad way, people have to change it themselves, which they can only do if they have future sight.
The users' pupils turn into hands on a clock, which, instead of showing the time, the clock hands show how long the user has used their devil fruit powers. When they hit 24 hours, they restart with a number in the user's sclera to show a day (1 if they have used it for a total of a day, 2 if they used it for a total of two days, etc.)
Weaknesses
If the user tries to use it for longer than an hour, they can get nosebleeds, headaches, and temporary blindness.
Every time the user uses their power, more of their energy gets used. The user can only use a full hour of it if they have enough energy to do so.
Other than that, the user has all the normal weaknesses of a devil fruit user.
Very random, I just thought how fucking funny would be a devil fruit user which power is something similar to "vicious mockery" from D&D. Defeating the enemies by the force of the word! Making them cry like little babies, unlive themselves or at least give up from the fight kskskskdkskdksk In the world of op that would perfectly work in my opinion
It would go exactly like this character. Could you imagine?? AAAAAAAAAA I love this concept. Could you imagine the amount of insults that would be heard? What if they do it with an instrument, too? Like a ukelele, or a guitar, a mandolin, or a sitar? Just doing a little dance, telling their opponent they're useless, and watching them cry in sorrow. I love this, thank you Sunny 🥹🤌
