Profile
Paramecia fruit eaten by Basil Hawkins. Named on-page for the first time at Ch. 913 (p. 8) as his “Straw-Straw powers.” Hawkins infuses the spirits of his subordinates into straw stand-in dolls (“strawmen”); while infused, all damage dealt to Hawkins is redirected onto a strawman instead — “when I have ten infused… I can die ten times,” each clean hit costing “minus one life.” The power also manifests a giant straw construct and a tarot “game.”
This finally explains the survival mechanic Hawkins demonstrated unnamed at Sabaody (Ch. 510, where damage was shunted onto his crew) — see Basil Hawkins Today I Will Not Die Survival Power. The unnamed power was shown @0510; the fruit’s name is first printed here @0913.

Named techniques
| Technique | JP / romaji | Etymology | First use | User |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straw stand-in lives (“Minus one life”) | — | strawmen absorb damage in the user’s place | Ch. 913 | Basil Hawkins |
| Tarot “game” — The Fool reversed (in-fighting), Card of Pursuit, The Hierophant reversed, The Tower / “Tower Climb,” Card of Reinforcements | — | drawn cards expand the strawman’s power at inherent risk to the user | Ch. 913 | Basil Hawkins |

Power limits & weaknesses
- The stored lives are finite — each clean hit registers “minus one life”; once spent, Hawkins is vulnerable. Battered by Zoro (“Nigiri”) and Luffy (“Ripple”), his strawman is destroyed and his stored lives burned through Ch. 913, though he survives on the remainder.
- The tarot cards expand the strawman’s power beyond natural limits at inherent risk to the user.
Lore & theories
The mechanic ties Hawkins’s long-standing “fortune-telling” persona to a concrete damage-redirection power: his prophecies of survival are enforced by sacrificing his infused subordinates. Cross-link Nature of Devil Fruits, Basil Hawkins, Basil Hawkins Today I Will Not Die Survival Power.
