Also, just wanna throw in a small response to what Aegis said about solid Logias; that being from personal experience, I believe it may not be as absurd looking or sounding as it may seem. While I respect Aegis' viewpoint and opinions, as well as those who share them, I'd still like to address that yes, for starters, Aokiji's Hie Hie no Mi has proven that generating, controlling and becoming solid materials as a Logia power can look and operate well without much issue. With that in mind, I assume other solids could operate the same way, and if not, at least in similar methods to Aokiji's ice.

The way it looks in my mind is that like any other Logia, someone who's made of ice, metal, stone and so on could simply "grow" or form their element around their bodies, or at least that's how it'd appear. If it also helps, try imagining it more as replacing body pieces and parts with an element.

And finally, again, coming from my own personal experience, you could simply have a Logia take on two different states, one at a time, depending on the will of the user or other factors like the Logia power's weaknesses. For example, my Clay Clay Fruit naturally makes its uer wet, liquid clay at all times, and so transforming into clay appears to happen in a similar fashion to Akainu's liquefied magma. HOWEVER, Chris, the fruit's user, has learned to harden his liquid state into solid clay at the expense of mobility when solidified. This grants him two different states of matter to rely on, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Similarly, a metal Logia could also simply become liquid metal, like mercury, as its default state, and the user can learn to harden it into true solid metal later. That way you not only get to have a true metal Logia, but it also gets a cool secondary ability all its own too, AND you can have a metal Logia that transforms its user in a way that seems more natural in appearance. If this doesn't work, well... my apologies in advance for failing to think up a better solution. >.<

And as a sidenote, on the subject of what Mihawk brought up about Semilogias, I rather like that idea a lot. +_+ The whole thing about some race, tribe or group of people somewhere regarding certain Paramecias as "Logia-like" or "Semilogias" like how the Skypieans, Birkans and Shandians considered Kenbunshoku Haki to be "Mantra." If push comes to shove and this Devil Fruit classification subject ever truly becomes a problem for the wiki in the future, this may be a good option to fall back on some day. On top of that, it may just be a fun idea to introduce into someone's AU, even my own.

So for that, thanks a bunch, Mihawk! Much appreciated for adding your own thoughts to the discussion.
