Mane Mane no Mi

Belonging to the Paramecia group, this fruit lets whoever eats it become an exact duplicate of anyone they touch, earning the tag Imitating Human. Its most familiar bearer is Bentham, the ex-Baroque Works operative also called Mr. 2 Bon Kurei. Long before him it was held by Kurozumi Higurashi, whom Kaidou killed, after which the fruit eventually reached Bentham. In shape it resembles two joined calabash gourds, orange with pink striping and swirls scattered over the surface.

Pressing the right hand to a person copies their face, physique, and voice, and every form ever taken is filed away perfectly, so no appearance is ever lost. There is no time limit on a disguise, which the wielder cancels by laying the left hand against their own face. Deception is where its real value lies: cloaked as royalty or a beloved friend, the user borrows authority, pins false crimes on the innocent, or coaxes a foe into dropping their guard. The catches run deep, though. Nobody untouched can be copied, and clothing, weapons, habits, and combat skill all fall outside its reach, while Devil Fruit powers stay off-limits except for some Zoan traits. A solid hit usually snaps the user back to their true form, and a sharp opponent can bait them into brushing their own face to break the guise.

Higurashi bent the fruit toward installing Kurozumi Orochi as Wano's shogun, wearing the likeness of Kouzuki Oden and then Sukiyaki to smooth his ascent, and later stalling Oden in combat by posing as his son Momonosuke, treachery that drove Kaidou to slay her. Bentham, a born performer, adopted the guise of authority figures to wreck operations, mimicking King Cobra during Operation Utopia and Warden Magellan amid the Impel Down breakout. His trademark Mane Mane Memory assumes the form of a touched person, and Mane Mane Montage pieces remembered features into a fresh face, among them the laughter-forcing world's funniest face built from his own visage plus Usopp's nose.
