The '''Hie Hie no Mi''' is a [[Logia]]-type [[Devil Fruit]] that allows the user to create, control, and transform into ice at will, turning the user into a {{Nihongo|'''Freezing Human'''|氷結人間|''Hyōketsu Ningen''}}. Its name stems from the Japanese word "hie hie", which means "chilly". In the [[Viz Manga]], it is called the '''Chilly-Chilly Fruit''' (not to be confused with the [[Samu Samu no Mi]], also called the Chilly-Chilly Fruit by Viz). It was eaten by former [[Admiral]] [[Kuzan]], better known as Aokiji.{{qref|name=logia fruit named}}

==Strengths and Weaknesses==
This fruit's major strength is that it allows the user to turn himself, as well as his surroundings, into ice. With this power running for a ten day battle, it was strong enough to permanently change the weather of [[Punk Hazard#Ice Lands|one half of an island]] into a frozen wasteland.{{Qref|name=Punk Hazard weather effect|chapter=658|episode=582|page=19|text=Smoker noted how Kuzan and Sakazuki changed Punk Hazard's weather.}}

It is interesting to note that this fruit is one of the few Logia that can be hit with a physical attack. This is mainly because ice is a solid-state element, and thus, the user cannot simply dissolve out of harm's way as most Logia-users can. However, most attacks are still ineffective against this fruit because its user can simply shatter and reform the ice composing them on impact.{{Qref|name=Logia status|chapter=320|episode=227|page=7-8|text=Kuzan shutters to pieces after Robin uses Treinta Fleur: Clutch.}} On the other hand, Kuzan can actually let a bisento attack go through him at will, as instead of getting injured by Whitebeard's bisento, he just let it go through him like any other Logia users.{{qref|chapter=567|episode=476|page=8|text=Kuzan lets an attack from Whitebeard's bisento pass through him.}}

Kuzan also has extreme amounts of resistance towards cold, due to his Devil Fruit's element, as he is able to freeze his body parts and turn back to normal without any tissue damage. The ice seems to cancel out with fire when they clash, as seen against [[Portgas D. Ace|Portgas D. Ace's]] [[Mera Mera no Mi]].{{qref|chapter=572|episode=|page=9|text=Ice-Ice and Flame-Flame cancel out each other upon contact.}} However, the ice seems to be ineffective against [[Edward Newgate|Whitebeard's]] [[Gura Gura no Mi|earthquake abilities]], since the freezing powers against the great pirate failed due to the ice shattering before disabling the target; the vibrations from [[Gura Gura no Mi]] also shattered the ice and kept [[Edward Newgate|Whitebeard]] from being frozen solid. In addition, Akainu was able to melt the ice generated by Aokiji in seconds. However, it should be noted that Kuzan was able to fight against [[Sakazuki]] on equal terms for ten days straight.{{Qref|name=aftermath of 10-day duel|chapter=650|episode=570|sbs=60|page=6|text=Both parties suffered from heavy wounds.}}

  +
Kuzan is also able to travel great distances and move at high speeds by turning his entire body to ice, as seen when he moved from his seat on the execution platform into the air to freeze two tsunamis created by Whitebeard.
Most of this Devil Fruit's attacks require Kuzan to contact his enemy directly to freeze them, yet Kuzan found ways like creating ice spears to extend his combat range. Kuzan is one of the few Devil Fruit users who is capable of counteracting his weakness against falling into water, as he can simply freeze it and create a surface to stand on, saving him from sinking and drowning.{{Qref|name=Safe|chapter=553|episode=462|page=6-7|text=Kuzan freezes the sea as he is about to fall in.}}

==Usage==
 
==Usage==
The main usage of this fruit's powers, as demonstrated by Kuzan, is for combat. With the power to manipulate ice, Kuzan can create weapons of ice or freeze his opponents with physical contact. He can create enough ice to cover a giant,{{Qref|name=vs. Saul|chapter=397|episode=278|page=9|text=Kuzan uses Ice Block: Partisan against [[Jaguar D.

He was even able to freeze the tsunamis created by Whitebeard, who is often hailed as the world's strongest man.{{Qref|name=Ice Age 2|chapter=553|episode=462|page=4-5|text=Kuzan displays the full capabilities of Ice Age.}} His main style of combat is to use his ice powers to disable and immobilize enemies, freezing their bodies solid just by touching them, and threatening to shatter their fragile forms, whether by touching them directly or with extensions of ice pillars. His other main style is to create weapons of ice to spear his opponents, to compensate his otherwise necessary direct contact.

Another usage Kuzan demonstrated is for transportation across the ocean. He either freezes a large portion of the sea for other people to get across, or create a narrow track of ice for him to ride over with his bicycle, the [[Ao Chari]]. Kuzan is one of the few Devil Fruit users who has shown to adapt his powers for traveling over the sea.{{Qref|name=Debut}}

After losing his left leg to Sakazuki in their battle for the position for Fleet Admiral, Kuzan used this fruit's powers to create a prosthetic leg out of ice.{{Qref|name=Leg|movie=12|text=Kuzan is seen with an ice leg to replace the one he lost to Sakazuki.}}{{-}}

Revision as of 17:35, 30 December 2015

The Hie Hie no Mi is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create, control, and transform into ice at will, turning the user into a Freezing Human (氷結人間, Hyōketsu Ningen?). Its name stems from the Japanese word "hie hie", which means "chilly". In the Viz Manga, it is called the Chilly-Chilly Fruit (not to be confused with the Samu Samu no Mi, also called the Chilly-Chilly Fruit by Viz). It was eaten by Kuzan, better known as former Admiral Aokiji.[2]

Strengths and Weaknesses

This fruit's major strength is that it allows the user to turn himself, as well as his surroundings, into ice. With this power running for a ten day battle, it was strong enough to permanently change the weather of one half of an island into a frozen wasteland.[3] This fruit is superior power compared to that of the Yuki Yuki no Mi, as ice is a superior freezing agent to snow.[4]

It is interesting to note that this fruit is one of the few Logia fruits that can be hit with a physical attack. This is mainly because ice is a solid-state element, and thus, the user cannot simply dissolve out of harm's way as most Logia-users can. However, most attacks are still ineffective against this fruit because its user can simply shatter and reform the ice composing them on impact.[5] On the other hand, Kuzan can actually let a bisento attack go through him at will. Instead of getting injured by Whitebeard's bisento during the Marineford battle, he just let it go through him like any other Logia users; when the blade penetrated his ice body, it gave the appearance of slush.[6]

Kuzan also has extreme amounts of resistance towards cold, due to his Devil Fruit's element, as he is able to freeze his body parts and turn back to normal without any tissue damage. The ice seems to cancel out with fire when they clash, as seen against Portgas D. Ace's Mera Mera no Mi.[7] However, the ice seems to be ineffective against Whitebeard's earthquake abilities, since the freezing powers against the great pirate failed due to the ice shattering before disabling the target; the vibrations from the Gura Gura no Mi also shattered the ice and kept Whitebeard from being frozen solid.[8] In addition, Akainu was able to melt the ice generated by Kuzan in seconds.[9] However, it should be noted that Kuzan was able to fight against Sakazuki on equal terms for ten days straight.[10]

Kuzan is also able to travel great distances and move at high speeds by turning his entire body to ice, as seen when he moved from his seat on the execution platform into the air to freeze two tsunamis created by Whitebeard.

Most of this Devil Fruit's attacks require Kuzan to be in physical contact with his enemy directly to freeze them, yet Kuzan found ways such as creating ice spears to extend his combat range. Kuzan is one of the few Devil Fruit users who is capable of counteracting his weakness against falling into water, as he can simply freeze it and create a surface to stand on, saving him from sinking and drowning.[11]

Usage

The main usage of this fruit's powers, as demonstrated by Kuzan, is for combat. With the power to manipulate ice, Kuzan can create weapons of ice or freeze his opponents with physical contact. He can create enough ice to cover a giant,[12] a Sea King[13] or several square miles of ocean within mere moments. He was even able to freeze the tsunamis created by Whitebeard, who is often hailed as the world's strongest man.[14] His main style of combat is to use his ice powers to disable and immobilize enemies, freezing their bodies solid just by touching them, and threatening to shatter their fragile forms, whether by touching them directly or with extensions of ice pillars. His other main style is to create weapons of ice to spear his opponents, to compensate his otherwise necessary direct contact.

Another usage of his ice that Kuzan demonstrated is for transportation across the ocean. He either freezes a large portion of the sea for other people to walk across, or create a narrow track of ice for him to ride over with his bicycle, the Ao Chari. Kuzan is one of the few Devil Fruit users who has shown to adapt his powers for traveling over the sea.[1]

After losing his left leg to Sakazuki in their battle for the position for Fleet Admiral, Kuzan used this fruit's powers to create a prosthetic leg out of ice.[15]

Attacks

Ice Age

The "Ice Age" technique can freeze a massive ocean and everything in it.

  • Ice Age (氷河時代 (アイスエイジ), Aisu Eiji?, literally meaning "Glacial Epoch"): An attack used only near the ocean or another large area of water. Kuzan places his hand in the water, then in an instant freezes it (along with anything in/on it) completely solid. The actual extent of the ice can stretch for miles and last for over a week. This was first seen freezing a massive area of ocean for Tonjit and Shelly to travel through the Long Ring Long Land.[13] Later uses of this attack have demonstrated that Kuzan is not limited to needing to make direct contact with his hands, as the attack can still be conducted as long as the ice he controls is in contact with both himself and the area he wishes to freeze.[14] This technique keeps its original name in the FUNimation dub.
  • Ice Saber (アイスサーベル, Aisu Sāberu?): Kuzan picks up several thin objects, such as blades of grass, and throws them into the air. He then blows on them with an icy breath that freezes them into a large, jagged sword of ice. During the Whitebeard War, Kuzan did not need to pick up objects to freeze the blade as seen when he stabbed Luffy.[citation needed] This was first seen in an attempt to slash Nico Robin, but was deflected by Roronoa Zoro and Sanji.[16]
  • Ice Time (アイスタイム, Aisu Taimu?): Kuzan touches his opponent's body, then freezes them into a human ice statue. They can remain alive in a form of suspended animation for some time in their icy prison, but any decent hit will shatter them to pieces. This ended up being the case for Jozu, whose right arm broke off at the shoulder upon falling over while completely frozen.[17] If the ice is melted quickly and carefully the victim can return to normal without any lasting repercussions.[18] This was first seen used to freeze Nico Robin. [19] However, the ice can also be shattered from the inside out, as Donquixote Doflamingo almost immediately broke loose from being frozen.[20] This technique keeps its original name in the FUNimation dub.
Ice Block Partisan

Kuzan forming the "Ice Block: Partisan"; this is the more refined version.

  • Ice Block: Partisan (アイス塊 (ブロック) 両棘矛 (パルチザン), Aisu Burokku Paruchizan?, literally meaning "Ice Mass: Both Thorn Pikes"): Kuzan creates several spears of ice by solidifying the cold air around him and then hurls them at the enemy. When used against Saul, they were rather thin, and he only used two;[12] against Whitebeard, during the Battle of Marineford, the spears were noticeably refined in make, and more numerous.[21] This was first seen used to stop Jaguar D. Saul from escaping Ohara. This is called Ice Block Phalanx in the FUNimation dub.
  • Ice Time Capsule (アイスタイムカプセル, Aisu Taimu Kapuseru?): Using his powers, Kuzan sends a wave of ice along the ground. Anything it hits is frozen in place. It was first seen being used against Saul.[22]
  • Ice Ball (アイスBALL (ボール), Aisu Bōru?): Kuzan freezes his opponent in a giant sphere of ice from a distance. It was first seen against Whitebeard, but the attack failed due to Whitebeard forming a vibration around himself, causing the ice to shatter before it could freeze him solid.[8] In the FUNimation subs, it keeps its original name.
Pheasant Beak

The Ice Pheasant as seen in the anime.

  • Ice Block: Pheasant Beak (アイス塊 (ブロック) 暴雉嘴 (フェザントベック), Aisu Burokku: Fezanto Bekku?, literally meaning "Ice Mass: Violent Pheasant Beak"): Arguably the source of Kuzan's epithet, Kuzan releases a massive wave of ice in the shape of a pheasant in a single blast. This was first seen clashing against Portgas D. Ace's Kyokaen, the two attacks clashing and canceling each other out. It should be noted that in the manga, only half of the pheasant, its wings, were visible because Ace had already melted the head portion of the bird's form with his firewall.[23] However, the pheasant was fully seen in the anime, as though Kuzan created a living pheasant out of ice, complete with flying.[24] The VIZ Manga translates this as Ice Block: Pheasant Peck, while in the FUNimation subs it keeps its original name.

Video Game Only Attacks

  • Ice Pick (アイスピック, Aisupikku?): Kuzan launches an ice dart at his opponent. This attack was shown and named in One Piece: Pirate Warriors.[25]
  • Ice Block: Avalanche (アイス塊 (ブロック) アバランシュ, Aisu Burokku: Abaranshu?): Kuzan freezes water moisture from above into a giant block of ice, and then drops it down onto his target. This attack was shown and named in One Piece: Pirate Warriors.[25]
  • Ice Star (氷星 (アイス スター), Aisu Sutā?): Kuzan leaps into the air and sends down a blizzard that freezes his opponents. Then, he uses Partisan and to finish his opponents. This attack was shown and named in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2.[26]

Trivia

  • In the anime, when the devil fruit ability was first introduced, the ice was white. During the Battle of Marineford, the ice had more of a blue color to it, matching up to Kuzan's nickname ("Blue Pheasant"). However, the color was still somewhat whitish, which allowed Mr. 3 to use his wax to blend in with the ice, such as creating covers for Buggy and creating a clone of himself to fake being frozen along with the rest of his crew.
  • Unlike the other two Admirals, Kizaru (Borsalino) and Akainu (Sakazuki), who named all of their techniques in Japanese, Kuzan names his attacks in English instead.
  • According to a fan question, it is possible to make kakigōri (a shaved ice dessert) out of Kuzan, but eating it may cause him to take over from inside the stomach.[27]
