The Sube Sube no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that makes the user's body smooth and slippery, which in turn makes most attacks and objects slide off their body, protecting the user from harm in most situations. As seen with Alvida, if one is overweight in any way they will become slim by having the excess fat "slip off". It was eaten by Alvid...
•"Subesube" (すべすべ?) is a Japanese onomatopoeia meaning that something (skin, etc.) is smooth/sleek/velvety/silky to the touch.
•It is called the Slip-Slip Fruit in the Viz Manga and 4Kids dub.
The Sube Sube no Mi is a glossy peach-like pink fruit with s-like swirls and green stem sprouting on top of it.
This fruit makes the user immune to damage caused by weapons, projectiles, hand-to-hand combat and other hazards derived from solid objects, as those will just slip off their smoothery body once contact is made, with the user suffering no apparent harm at all no matter how big or heavy the incoming threat is. The fruit's powers also extend to whatever items or clothing are on the user's person; this was very apparent when a chunk of rubble simply bounced off Alvida's body despite the fact that it hit her while she was still wearing her coat.
As a side effect of the fruit's power, all of the eater's excess fat "slips off", granting them a much skinnier physique. Despite this, the user seems to retain their full strength, as Alvida can still wield her iron mace with ease. This loss of fat appears to be permanent, as Alvida did not revert to her previous appearance upon coming into contact with Seastone, which negates the effects of Devil Fruits.
Immediately upon consumption, Alvida lost all of her excess fat and weight from her former obesity as well as her freckles, granting her a much slimmer build and attractive appearance, though her delusions about her former obesity made her oblivious to this fact.
Alvida's main usage of this fruit's power is to allow attacks to slip off her, rendering her untouchable and immune to conventional damage. She can also use the slipperiness to reduce friction, allowing her to slide at considerable speeds after an initial acceleration.
Sometime after suffering a defeat from Luffy, but before meeting Buggy, Alvida found and ate the Sube Sube no Mi, gaining new powers and losing a great deal of weight.
•A fan asked Oda how Lola would look like if she were the one that ate this fruit. Oda responded to this reader's question as "She hasn't changed much. But her skin has become amazingly smooth". This was likely a satirical nod to Alvida's statement about how eating the fruit hadn't changed her much, despite the clear distinction visible in both cases.
•This fruit has the longest gap in time between when its power was first demonstrated and when the fruit itself was shown, at over 22 years.
•This Devil Fruit is very similar to the Awa Awa no Mi, as both have the ability to smooth things, though the Sube Sube no Mi only makes the user become smooth.
•This is the first Devil Fruit shown to permanently alter a person's appearance as a side-effect of eating it. Later fruits like this would be the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, Hobi Hobi no Mi and the Nomi Nomi no Mi.
