Emporio Ivankov

Emporio Ivankov (エンポリオ・イワンコフ, Enporio Iwankofu), or called as Iva (イワ, Iwa) for short, is both a fictional character and tritagonist from the One Piece series created by Eiichiro Oda. He is known as a "Miracle Person" (奇跡の人, Kiseki no Hito).

He is both the "Queen" and "Okama King" (オカマ王, Okama Ō) of the Kamabakka Kingdom and a commander of the Revolutionary Army, commanding the G Army which covers the Grand Line.

He was formerly an inmate of Impel Down kept and living in a secret level 5.5, but has since returned to his original post. He challenged Sanji to defeat his 99 masters of Newkama Kenpo for the secret of the "attack cuisine" and a boat, during the two year timeskip.

Appearance
Ivankov is a large man with an afro of indigo hair, and has long eyelashes, he also has a noticeably-odd shaped chin resembling an arrowhead. His afro is large enough to hold people inside it. He has a personal Jolly Roger tattooed just below his chest.

As an okama, he dresses in reddish-purple woman's garments with heavy makeup. To signify his queen-ship of New Kama Land, he wears a queen's crown with a king's crown on top.

The Young Past Days
While in a flashback as a Revolutionary, Iva has been seen wearing a cloak, and without the crown.

As a Female
Using his Emporio Female Hormones on himself, Ivankov can become a large-sized, relatively curvy woman. This form is more realistically proportioned (relatively speaking) than his male form, and is rather well endowed. Because of the clothes he wears as an okama, this form is also scantily dressed. Despite the changes brought on by the hormones however, he is still incredibly tall and is at least twice, if not three times the size of the Impel Down officer Sadi.

In the anime, when Iva turns into a woman, he keeps his male voice, unlike the other characters who are changed by his powers, although his voice sounds slightly different between male and female.

Devil Fruit

 * Main article: Horm-Horm Fruit

The Horm-Horm Fruit (ホルホルの実, Horu Horu no Mi; literally meaning "Fruit of the Hormone-Hormone"), a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit, which was eaten by Ivankov, allows him to control the hormones of the human body, and is one of the very few known powers coming from a Devil Fruit that can affect other people's bodies as well as his/her own, making him a Hormone Controlling Human (ホルモン自在人間, Horumon Jizai Ningen).

He can remodel a human from the inside, which allows them to change all physical aspects, including: sex, growth, skin pigment, and many other things. This power led him to be known as the "Miracle Person".

This also allows him to boost a person's chances of survival from conditions that would otherwise mean certain death. However, it is only a slight increase, so only those with a strong enough will can recover. Also, the process apparently could might effect a person's potential lifespan.

Techniques
The named techniques that are used by Ivankov that involve the Devil Fruit are as follows:
 * Emporio Female Hormone (エンポリオ･女ホルモン, Enporio Onna Horumon; literally meaning "Emporio Female Hormone"): By injecting a male with special female hormones, Iva is able to completely transform them into a female. He can also use this on himself, doing so when he fights Sadi. When a male is turned into a female, their body becomes soft, allowing them to withstand serious blunt force. It appears that this technique does not affect the clothes of the person who is transformed, as every time someone is hit with this technique their physical appearance changes, but their clothes become too small or big for them. This was first seen being used on Bellett, who was trying to get revenge on Iva.


 * Unnamed Male Hormone: By injecting a female with special male hormones, Iva is able to completely transform them into a male. Like the Female Hormone, it appears that this technique does not affect the clothes of the person who is transformed, as every time someone is hit with this technique their physical appearance changes, but their clothes may become too small or big for them. This usage for his ability is not a named technique.


 * Emporio Healing Hormone (エンポリオ･治癒ホルモン, Enporio Chiyu Horumon; literally meaning "Emporio Healing Hormone"): By injecting special hormones meant to stimulate the body's immune system's full potential into a sick person, Iva is able to cure them of serious disease and poisoning. This is the secret to his "miracle" healing. Since the hormones only unlock the immune system's potential, the chance of survival is mostly based upon the individual's will to live. In order to use this technique, a certain amount of the target's life-span must be sacrificed in order to compensate for the energy used to heal the damage. In the case of Luffy being exposed to various deadly poisons and having only 24 hours to live, it took 10 years of his life-span. In the case of things like poison it seems to make them immune to the very ailment that plagued them. This was first seen being used on Luffy to counteract Magellan's poison.


 * Emporio Energy Hormone (エンポリオ･テンションホルモン, Enporio Tenshon Horumon): By injecting special adrenaline affecting hormones, Ivankov can provide a tired person with a supply of adrenaline that can relieve tension and allow for easier movement for an entire day. There is an aftereffect after being injected with this hormone, which causes the user to feel nauseaous and tired. There is a limit to how much fatigue the hormones can relieve, as Ivankov warned Luffy that he would not be getting up again after receiving a second dose. This was first seen being used on an exhausted Luffy. Ivankov has also used this together with Emporio Healing Hormones to recover quickly from fatal poisoning.


 * Emporio Face Growth Synthesis (エンポリオ・顔面成長ホルモン, Enporio Ganmen Seichō Horumon; literally meaning "Emporio Face Growth Hormone"): By injecting special growth hormones into ones face, Ivankov can make a person's head expand to enormous proportions that surpass even giants. This was first seen used by Ivankov on himself during the escape from Impel Down's Blazing Hell to make his Death Wink technique into a more powerful version called Hell Wink. While his head is in this state, it allows his hair to hold up to at least 235 people inside it.
