The question of whether Pica's Devil Fruit is a Logia-type has been a point of debate among One Piece fans. While initially appearing to possess Logia-like properties, a closer examination reveals a different classification.

Understanding Devil Fruit Types

Before diving into Pica's specific abilities, let's briefly review the three main types of Devil Fruits:

• Paramecia: These fruits grant the user unique and often bizarre abilities, but they don't necessarily grant control over a natural element.
• Zoan: These fruits allow the user to transform into an animal, a mythical creature, or an ancient human.
• Logia: These fruits grant the user the ability to become an element, making them essentially intangible to physical attacks.

Pica's Rock-Rock Fruit: A Closer Look

Pica consumed the Iwa Iwa no Mi, the Rock-Rock Fruit, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This allows him to manipulate and transform into stone, creating massive stone constructs and utilizing stone-based attacks.

While his ability to become stone might seem similar to a Logia's element-transformation, there are crucial differences:

• Vulnerability to Haki: Logia users are typically invulnerable to physical attacks unless the opponent uses Haki (an internal energy). Pica, however, was significantly impacted by physical attacks enhanced with Haki, demonstrating his vulnerability. This is a key indicator that his fruit is not a Logia.

• Limited Transformation: Although he can transform his body into stone, Pica's transformation isn't a complete merging with the element like a Logia. He retains a tangible form, even within the stone. He was also visibly wounded, proving that he could not simply reform completely like a Logia.

• Official Classification: The official One Piece databooks and other source materials firmly classify the Iwa Iwa no Mi as a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

Conclusion

Despite the seemingly Logia-like properties of Pica's stone manipulation, his vulnerability to Haki, the limitations of his transformation, and the official classification all confirm that the Iwa Iwa no Mi is not a Logia-type Devil Fruit, but rather a Paramecia-type. His abilities are powerful, but they function differently than the true elemental powers of Logia fruits.
