Appearing only in a handheld game rather than the main story, this paper-based Logia hands its eater command over sheets of paper. Simon carried it as the game's villain, wrongly sure his gifts were inborn until the truth cost him his life.
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.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
The Pasa Pasa no Mi is a non-canon Logia Devil Fruit that lets its user generate, control, and transform into paper. Its only known user, the video game villain Simon, can turn into sheets of paper to dodge attacks, slice or throw pages as weapons, and fly between islands.
The Pasa Pasa no Mi was eaten by Simon, the antagonist of the Game Boy Advance title One Piece: Great Hidden Treasure of the Nanatsu Islands. He was fed the fruit as a child by the bandit Ko after being accidentally injured.
No, the Pasa Pasa no Mi is not canon. It appears only in a handheld video game rather than the manga, though it is notable as the earliest Logia the series ever depicted in fruit form.
Simon's paper form can normally smother fire using a special glyph, but coating his pages in paint disables every symbol, making fire lethal to him again. He is also still vulnerable to the standard Devil Fruit weakness against seawater.
Simon's named attacks, such as Sefer Ha-Bahir and Sefer Ha-Zohar, all take their titles from Jewish Kabbalah texts, and each unlocks a different elemental or restorative effect drawn from an old glyph-covered book.
