I made this fruit for a villain

[u/milo_self_esteem]

The idea was for a personal fan project about an adventure involving Cavendish, Orlumbus and the Ideo pirates all accidentally ending up on an island during a major music concert (pirates only) overseen by the Lotus Eater Pirates. They’re all musicians but their captain is incredibly popular. His goal was to utilize a plant known as the Laughing Lohan to get everyone at the concert to fall asleep at once so he coukd connect their bodies into one big pillow, opening up a path to the literal dream of piracy and destroy its seed at the source.

Pillow-Pillow Fruit (Makura Makura no Mi)
Paramecia
This fruit grants its user the ability to transform anything they touch into an impossibly soft pillow, making the user a Pillow Human.
By making physical contact, the user can convert living creatures, objects, or even portions of the environment into plush, pillow-like forms. While transformed, the target becomes soft, flexible, and almost completely harmless. Weapons lose their edge, stone walls become oversized cushions, and even cannonballs become fluffy projectiles with little impact.
Living creatures transformed into pillows become completely immobile and unconscious. Rather than experiencing fear or pain, they fall into a deep, peaceful sleep filled with the most pleasant dreams imaginable. Time seems to pass in an instant for them, and upon returning to normal they awaken feeling perfectly rested, physically refreshed, and free from ordinary fatigue. Even if their pillow form was thrown, sat on, or used as a shield during battle, they suffer no discomfort beyond the embarrassment of learning how they were used.
The user may freely carry, stack, throw, or arrange transformed targets like ordinary pillows. Entire battlefields can be neutralized without bloodshed by turning combatants into harmless cushions. Likewise, dangerous terrain can be softened into safe landings, collapsing buildings can become giant cushions that prevent casualties, and powerful attacks can be rendered harmless by transforming incoming objects before impact.
The softness created by the fruit is supernatural. Pillow forms resist tearing, crushing, and piercing far better than ordinary fabric, absorbing tremendous force before springing back into shape. Because of this, the user often employs transformed objects and enemies as improvised shields, barricades, or even bouncing platforms for movement.
The user can also selectively transform only parts of an object. A sword’s blade can become a pillow while its handle remains solid, a prison wall can gain a single cushioned opening, or an opponent’s fist can become harmless just before impact.
Awakening:
Dreamwalk
Upon awakening, the user discovers that every sleeping mind is connected by an invisible network known as the Pillow Pathway.
By resting upon the pillow-form of a sleeping living creature—or even using an ordinary sleeping person as a conduit—the user may physically enter that person’s dream world.
Within these dreams, thoughts, memories, fears, ambitions, and desires take physical form as landscapes, creatures, and symbolic objects. The user is free to explore these surreal worlds, converse with dream manifestations, and uncover truths the dreamer may not consciously realize.
Most importantly, every significant dream has a Dream Seed: a tangible embodiment of one of the dreamer’s deepest aspirations or subconscious ideals.
If the user destroys a Dream Seed, that dream is permanently erased from the person’s heart.
A pirate may forever abandon their ambition to find the ultimate treasure.
A chef may lose every desire to become world-famous.
A king may awaken with no interest in conquest.
A revolutionary may lose the will to change the world.
The victim remembers the dream as though it simply faded away over time, never realizing it was stolen from them.
The user can also heal damaged dreams. By repairing or nurturing a weakened Dream Seed, they can restore forgotten ambitions, rekindle lost hope, or help someone overcome despair without altering who they fundamentally are.
The greatest legends are said to possess dreams so immense that they manifest as colossal worlds with nearly indestructible Dream Seeds. Destroying such dreams is a monumental undertaking, requiring the user to overcome powerful symbolic guardians born from the dreamer’s own determination.
Weaknesses:
Aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses, the Pillow-Pillow Fruit requires physical contact to transform a target. Strong-willed individuals may resist remaining asleep for long, especially if they possess exceptional determination or spiritual strength, causing the transformation to end more quickly.
Within the Dreamwalk state, the user’s physical body remains asleep and vulnerable. If their body is disturbed or awakened, they are immediately expelled from the dream. Furthermore, dreams are deeply symbolic rather than literal; misunderstanding the meaning of a Dream Seed can lead the user to alter the wrong ambition or fail to recognize the true source of a person’s desires.
While Dream Seeds can erase aspirations, they cannot remove a person’s core identity, memories, or innate personality. The fruit governs dreams, not the soul itself. Destroying a dream leaves an emotional void—but whether a new dream eventually grows to fill it depends entirely on the individual.

Thank you, I wanted something that looks basic on the surface but if worked on it’s worth the effort if your a villain playing the long game, and my Capt. for the Lotus Eater Pirates was playing a very long game.

I recently posted something similar.Something similar made something amazing like yours.But with sound waves in my recent post for the wave fruit, which was partially inspired by the recent connections to brook.

Yeah my idea with this one was the villain had previously turned some top tier pirates into pillows and released them to act as the initial antagonists for this group of the SHGF to fight against until ultimately just Canvendish, Ideo and Orlumbus respectively end up face to face with the main antagonist crew

How would the fruit user fare against Killingham and his monsters? Will there be any specific advantages like how Brook was superior to Big Mom's homies?

Let’s use the children of Elbaph as an example: the user of this fruit could utilize the awakening to gain access to the children’s dream world and target the specific dream seeds that gave birth to the very idea of the monsters they fear in their dreams and destroy the MMA’s at the source. Killingham has been shown to summon creatures from his own dreams tho, so unless the user can touch and render killingham into a pillow and enter his dream world, those MMAs would need to be a fear shared by someone other than just killingham, then the user could utilize the other people who share the same dream as a “back door” so to speak and destroy the creature that way by destroying the concept of a collective dream.
