Tomo Tomo no Mi

Introduction
The Tomo Tomo no Mi is a paramecia type devil fruit that allows the user to bond with another being and take them on as a familiar. Tomo can mean companion or follower.

Usage
In order to use this fruit's power, the eater must touch a willing target, usually an animal of some description, forming a pact with them. While it is technically possible to force a pact on an unwilling subject, this requires the user to be overwhelmingly more powerful than the target, both in terms of willpower, and overall strength. Even in the unlikely event of this occuring, the familiar would obviously lack loyalty, and could continue to resist or even reject the pact, defeating the object of forming it in the first place,

The user has a mental link with their familiar, that they can use to comunicate with them and give instructions. Additionally, they can percieve through their familiar's senses, and if necessary project their own voice through their familiar to communicate with others nearby. The familiar shares part of the user's power and intellect due to the link, which effectively makes them slightly more intelligent than a regular animal. This in turn is a benefit to the user, as the familiar can assist them with calculations and similar tasks requiring careful thought.

Stamina is also shared between the fruit's user and their familiar, and each takes on a small part of any wounds inflicted on the other.

Weaknesses
The user suffers from standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
