فاكهة سورو سورو نو مي

Borrowing its name from the Japanese pronunciation of the word soul, this Paramecia power grants dominion over the spirit itself. Carmel consumed it first and turned it toward fooling the giants of Elbaph; when she died, the ability somehow passed to Charlotte Linlin, the Emperor better known as Big Mom, who leaned on it for sixty-three years to raise her dream nation of Totto Land. It is among the handful of fruits with more than one owner across the tale, and it counts as only the second soul-based power in the series, coming after the Yomi Yomi no Mi.

The holder pulls forth the spirits of anyone who feels dread toward them, the soul seeping out as a pink, smoke-like yet solid-to-the-touch substance that can be gripped and torn free. Ripping it out strips the victim of lifespan in whatever measure the user picks, from mere seconds to whole decades, and taking a person's entire remaining span kills them on the spot. Poured into objects, plants, animals, or even air and light, fragments of soul birth homies, living creations with human faces, voices, and minds that answer to their maker; the mightier the source spirit, the stronger the result. Big Mom can even quicken substances made by other fruits, such as Cracker's biscuit soldiers or Perospero's candy. The constraints run deep. A target must feel at least a flicker of fear, so fearless opponents like Jinbe, Law, and Kid shrug the power off entirely, and the user has to voice an incantation the victim can hear. Souls will not take root in living people or corpses, homies can be wounded, scared to death, or talked into betrayal, and the Yomi Yomi no Mi overwhelms ordinary homies. Seawater and Seastone drain the wielder as with any fruit.

Carmel drew fragments from her own soul to fashion homies, most famously compressing the flames of a rampage at Elbaph into Pandora, a sun-shaped homie, so the giants would believe she had summoned a god, and she used the gift for stage tricks and staged weather. Big Mom carried it much further. She taxes Totto Land's citizens a slice of their lifespan, gathered by black, blob-shaped Incarnations who scatter the fragments to sprout homies across the land, giving her a near-bottomless supply of servants. From pieces of her own potent spirit she crafted three special homies far above the rest: her bicorne hat Napoleon, the fireball Prometheus, and the thundercloud Zeus, later swapping the troublesome Zeus for the obedient Hera. Her hallmark move, Soul Pocus, demands a victim's obedience or their years, while her homie-driven attacks span the lightning slam Raitei, the blazing Heavenly Feuer, the flaming sword Cognac, and the beam-like Maser Ho.
