Kata Kata no Mi (Alphadhbeta)

Property of Alphadhbeta

Introduction
The Kata Kata no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to melt stuff at will. Kata is the Japanese word for "harden."

Usage
The fruit's main usage resides in battle, mainly by hardening objects to increase offensive and defensive potential.

First, the user can harden itself to increase defensive potential. Any blunt and cutting attacks will simply bounce off; this renders the user a near indestructable human shield to physical attackers. However, as proved by Alpha, any non-physical attack can bypass the armor, such as fire.

Second, the user can harden other objects to increase offensive potential. Plain items, such as simple wooden sticks, can instantly become metallic weapons that can break through basically anything. Of course, the user can harden itself to attack as well.
