Canon: Custom
Description: The appearance of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi is that of a banana, thick and ripe,albeit seemingly dirty. The flesh of the fruit is a dark yellow, almost gold, while the outside is the classical banana yellow. There is a small little sprout atop the fruit of an unidentifiable plant, growing as if on soil. The flesh has a mushy texture, but extremely sweet in taste.

The Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi (also referred to by some as the Gaia Gaia no Mi) is a Logia class fruit which, when consumed, allows the user to create, control, and become earth and stone, transforming the person into what can be described as a Earth Human(土人間 Tsuchi Ningen). An Earth Human's body is thus made much heavier, resilient, and generally "earthy." While sand, which is too loose and dry, and swamp-earth, which is too wet, cannot be controlled, the user has the ability to control and form soil, stone, mud, and other things which are related to the Earth element. When the body is damaged, the body part or body reverts so a soil-like mixture of rock and ground, which can reform at the Earth Human's will.

The Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi's raw strength is derived, in part, from the user's willpower and stubborness. The stronger the will and desire to perform, the stronger the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi's raw ability's and strength is. Similarly, if the user's will has been broken, or they are hesitant to perform, the power will diminish slowly.

While the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi is powerful and allows for the creation of earth and stone, the continuous or massive implementation of such an ability will drain the energy of the user. Furthermore, while it seems cute and even sometimes useful, plants can grow on the body of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi, causing the nutrients and energy to the drained from the body of the user - as such, the Earth Human should be extremely careful of not digesting seeds, as a healthy Earth Human body is perfect for the growth of plants. While the defensive capabilities of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi are powerful, being split into dirt and stone and being spread too far can make the recuperation of the user very difficult, and in some cases, impossible. As with all Devil's Fruits, the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi is subject to all weaknesses that all the Devil's Fruits naturally posses.

[attr="class","attacks"]

• ▶ Corpus Adamantis (Adamantine Body) - By focusing, the user of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi can harden his/her body to a consistency much harder than the simple soil-like mixture it normally is. The stone-like body is incredibly resistant, sturdy, and generally strong. This allows the Earth Human to take much harder attacks than normal, shrugging off most simple attacks and weapons. Doing so takes only a second of concentration as the soil that composes the body solidifies, and is an obvious change as the skin gains a rock-like hue, and as it compacts, becomes a tad bit smaller.
  
• ▶ Terra Volitantia (Flying Earth) - A simple ability, the user of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi makes earth and compacts it to stone, only to levitate it and fire it at the opponent. However, the ability does not require it to be Earth made by the Earth Human - the user of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi can use any earth and/or stone to employ this attack. The more earth is produced, the more energy spent, so larger rocks take larger amounts of energy and time. The rocks can be shaped to work as boulders or spikes, and then thrown.
  
• ▶ Cordus Terrae (Heart of the Land) - The user of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi has an innate connection to the earth and land, something that they can feel at all times. Being at sea is interesting for the Earth Human, but they can always feel the call of the Earth pulling them to it. As such, the Earth Human can give general directions to the closest islands, and essentially sense their presence. The most information that can be gathered from this is the direction to the island, and vague size (wether it's large or small), but that's about it.
  
• ▶ Oculus Terrae (Eye of the Land) - An advanced version of Cordus Terrae, this ability allows the Earth Human to essentially see with the land. Using deep focus, the Earth Human can single out the seismic vibrations on rock, soil, and earth, allowing them to "see" far away things. However, the ability requires focus, and a simple shock or distraction can break this sight. Furthermore, the ability extends only to the edges of the islands - the sea water breaks the ability's sight, and the user can only see about 100 yards away from their position, due to fading vibrations. Finally, while the sight is generally effective, it can be blurred by constant movement or other things which would distort the vibrations.
  
• ▶ Gemini Lapis (Double Stone) - One of the more advanced techniques, this allows the user, when on land, to create a body double of her made out of stone, which she then controls as he/she sees fit. While the body is limber and can copy most movements that the Earth Human can do, it is not foolproof. Perhaps the most obvious sign is that it looks like it is made out of Earth - to make it seem similar to the Earth Human, it looks exactly as if it was the Earth Human using Corpus Adamantis. While it does not take extreme focus to make the double move or act, it takes a bit of concentration, making it difficult to mix with other abilities, such as Oculus Terrae.
  
• ▶ Alabastrites (Stalagmite) - Quite a simple ability, the Earth Human simply brings up stalagmites, sharp and deadly, under the target. To perform the ability, however, there must be much earth and stone under the target, so it is often performed on land.
  
• ▶ Lapidem Turpis (Stone Spray) - A deadly ability, the Earth Human grabs a piece of rock and breaks it into many pieces, sharpening them and firing them at the opponent. These shred flesh and most unhardened objects - the harder the rock broken down, the stronger the attack. The user can focus to harden the rock, but it takes energy and time.
  
• ▶ Solum Vivus (Living Soil) - Using their unique body structure and such, the Body of the Earth human is composed of not only rock and stone, but enriched of nutrients and minerals. As such, when the user is tired or injured, he or she can use the power of fertile earth to slowly but efficiently regain their energy and mend wounds. This, however, requires fertile ground, and takes both contact with said earth and time to provide effective restoration. Furthermore, the Earth Human can also, at the cost of energy, revitalize soil and make it fertile again, though making them very tired.
  
• ▶ Sepelite (Entomb) - One of the stronger of the abilities of the Earth Human, this allows for a quick, deadly, and execution-like attack. Controlling the earth, the user opens a hole deep in the earth, and then grips the target with earth and stone. The "gripping hands" pull them down through the soil with incredible force, pushing the soil apart and reaching to the small cavern made for the target, dumping them there and sealing the exit, essentially burying the target alive. This, however, takes much energy and focus, and requires contact with the ground. It obviously would not work on targets that are flying, and targets that are quick to the punch or can sense the danger coming can break free of the gripping hands and prevent the ability. The deeper the target goes, the more time and energy it takes.
  
• ▶ Fortis Maelstrom (Maelstrom of Rock) - A mixture of Corpus Adamantis and Lapidem Turpis, this deadly, more advanced ability turns the user into a living weapon. By turning the body to stone, and then separating, the user of the Tsuchi Tsuchi no Mi transforms into many, many sharp pieces of very hardened stone. Then, the user begins spinning the pieces of rock quickly and chaotically, causing a violent cloud of sharp, flying stone - deadly to be caught in. However, to maintain this ability, one requires much energy, as it essentially is the mixing of two other abilities.
