No, it's actually the precessor of Devil Fruits. My universe is set a few thousand years before the actual One Piece storyline, which also happens to be before a massive flood, so pretty much everything (the world, the people, Devil Fruits, etc.) is different.

I'm thinking that during the flood, Matter would "evolve" and develop a resistance to water (which would somehow explain why Devil Fruit users have a weakness to water). And speaking of which, I'm having a hard time coming up with a different side effect to Matter... >.<

But even if that doesn't work (i.e. I can't come up with a side effect because I'm stupid, or you council guys don't let me...), then I guess I'll just use Devil Fruits instead :)
