Miya Miya no Mi (Shrine-Shrine Fruit)
The Miya Miya no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that lets the user produce ectoplasm to permanently house one creature's soul within their body. Thus, making the user a Supreme Priestess (祭主 Saishu). It was eaten by Nepeta.
Etymology
- Miya (宮) is a Japanese word meaning "shrine" or "palace", and can refer to a sacred Shinto shrine.
- It is translated as the Shrine-Shrine Fruit.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The Miya Miya no Mi lets the user produce ectoplasm internally. This ectoplasm lets the user permanently enshrine a creature's soul within their body, housing it in the spiritual realm inside them, where their own soul also resides. The enshrined creature can shape this place to its own desires, and no one but itself and the Devil Fruit user can physically access it. Furthermore, the ectoplasm not only sustains the creature's soul but also empowers it, enhancing its physical abilities beyond what it had in life, depending on how much ectoplasm it produces. The ectoplasm is naturally warm to the touch and can grow hotter at the user's will, and the user is unaffected by the temperature change.
By releasing ectoplasm, the user can summon the enshrined creature as a tangible spirit that floats freely and interacts with the physical world. It retains its instincts, natural abilities, and free will, allowing it to act independently or even summon itself without the user's consent. The user may also manifest only parts of the creature's body, coat themselves in ectoplasm to temporarily gain its physical abilities, or allow the creature to adopt traits from the user, such as a more humanoid form or humanlike limbs.
The fruit has considerable drawbacks: it activates only when a creature is on its deathbed, and it requires mutual consent between the user and the creature whose soul is to be enshrined. Alternatively, the ability may activate if both share a strong desire for the creature to remain in the world of the living. The fruit can enshrine only one soul throughout the user's entire lifetime, and once enshrined, the soul becomes permanently bound to the user's body and cannot be released. If the user becomes too exhausted, the creature's manifestation dissipates, and its soul returns to the user's body.
Aside from that, the user displays all the general weaknesses common to Devil Fruits.
Techniques
Phantom Pelt - Nepeta coats herself in ectoplasm infused with Taiga's soul, creating a durable layer of spiritual armor that grants her the tiger's natural abilities, including enhanced strength, speed, agility, senses, and instincts. She can envelop her entire body or concentrate ectoplasm around specific body parts for greater protection and physical enhancement.
Phantom Pelt: Tiger Claw - Nepeta concentrates her ectoplasm around her hands, forming large, razor-sharp tiger claws.
Phantom Pelt: Twin Tail - Nepeta manifests two long, flexible tiger tails made of ectoplasm from her lower back, resembling Taiga's distinctive tails. She can manipulate them like additional limbs, using them to strike opponents, restrain enemies, grab nearby objects, or maintain her balance during complex acrobatic maneuvers.
Phantom Pelt: Kitty Bull Rush - Nepeta concentrates a massive amount of ectoplasm around one arm, shaping it into a gigantic tiger head. She then thrusts her arm forward, sending the massive spiritual head charging toward her opponent with tremendous force, its enormous jaws wide open. The head crushes anything caught in its path like a battering ram
Phantom Pelt: Hellcat's Roar - Nepeta envelops one arm in ectoplasm, forming a massive tiger's head with its jaws wide open. Inside its mouth, she concentrates ectoplasm into a dense sphere and rapidly raises its temperature to extreme levels. Once fully charged, the tiger unleashes an enormous beam of superheated ectoplasm from its mouth, devastating anything caught in its path.
Soul Float - Nepeta produces a large, fluffy cloud of ectoplasm that floats freely through the air. The cloud is tangible and can support Nepeta and others, serving as aerial transportation. The cloud also possesses a soft, cushion-like consistency, allowing it to safely catch falling objects or people.
Monster Cat Beckoning - Nepeta releases a large amount of ectoplasm to fully manifest Taiga's soul into the physical world, granting him a tangible body composed entirely of ectoplasm. Taiga can appear in either his miniature or large form, retaining his natural abilities, instincts, and free will. Once summoned, he can move and fight independently of Nepeta, although maintaining his physical manifestation continuously consumes her stamina.
Awakening
The Awakening of the Miya Miya no Mi lets the user transform their surroundings into ectoplasm. Furthermore, the enshrined creature can produce ectoplasm independently and possess objects the user has transformed, manipulating them as extensions of its spiritual body. The creature needs only partial transformation to possess objects. However, the Awakening consumes considerable stamina, particularly when affecting large areas.
