Hector Diabolos Capricorn, the navigator of the Harlequin pirates, has eaten an unknown paramecia type devil fruit that allows him to alter the direction of gravity as it aplies to objects.

His power can be used to make himself objects or people he is touching fall in any direction he wants, or sometimes lock onto an object so that they always fall towards it. The objects and people are not affected by the usual direction of gravity until the effect is removed.

Another use of the fruit is perfect ballance: the user becomes more aware of the direction of gravity and can make subtle changes to it, allowing them to ballance themselves or other objects perfectly, and sometimes even impossibly, for indefinate durations of time. Hector is infmaous for leaving objects stacked in impossible ways. In one incident before he became a pirate, he left his family's grand piano perched on top of a stack of coins, each placed on edge.

The weakness of this fruit is the inability to control the weight of objects. Hector can choose the direction they fall or make them ballance in impossible ways, but not alter the rate at which they fall, or prevent them from falling.

It is a misconception that this fruit enables flight; several times Hector has apparently survived extremely long falls, or jumped impossible distances. In reality, this is merely an illusion acheived by continuously altering the direction of gravity to cancel out velocity or "fall" towards an intended location.
