فواكه باسا باسا

Rather than the manga, this power surfaces inside a Game Boy Advance title, where its meaning traces to pasapasa, a Japanese sound word for the dry rustle paper makes. Sorted as a Logia, it lets whoever swallows it summon paper, bend it to their will, and melt their own body into it. A curious footnote is that, despite falling outside the official canon, it stands as the earliest Logia the series ever depicted in an actual fruit form.

The fruit takes the look of a small apple, round and etched all over with swirling lines, its stem coiled into a corkscrew helix. Only one person, the antagonist Simon, is known to have consumed it; his death is presumed to have sent the ability cycling back out into the world.

As with any Logia, Simon may dissolve into thin sheets to weave around or connect with attacks, and each page can slice like a blade or be flung as a thrown weapon. The paper shift also carries him aloft, so he crosses between islands with no ship at all. On top of that, an old book marked with strange glyphs unlocks a grab-bag of elemental and bodily effects, including patching up his own wounds.

Ordinarily fire would consume paper, yet one glyph can smother flame entirely, which is how he brushed off Usopp's Kaen Boshi. The loophole has a catch. Coat the pages in paint and every symbol falls dead, so fire once again turns lethal, and the standard sea-based curse still binds him as usual.

Simon alone ate this fruit. Long before the game's events, a rookie mountain bandit named Ko turned up the fruit among treasure he had gathered, and after badly hurting the young Simon by accident, he fed it to the boy on a reckless impulse to keep him alive. Simon scattered into pages, then pulled himself back together fully mended, but because he had passed out he never grasped that a Devil Fruit was involved, growing up sure of himself as a special sort of being who towered over regular folk. His named attacks all take titles from Jewish Kabbalah: Sefer Ha-Bahir detonates a lone target with fire, Sefer Ha-Zohar seeds explosions that can shock, Sefer Atziluth poisons a cluster of foes, Sefer Briah restores his health, Sefer Yetzirah slips him clear of blows, and Sefer Assiah paralyzes several enemies. His delusion of superiority finally shattered when Ko warned that the creature Shushibaruba would swallow him as well, and Simon, refusing to accept the truth, let himself be devoured.
