Lore & Background
The World Government uses Sea Prism Stone to enable transport between the four seas and the Grand Line. Government ships employ the stone to mask their presence as they traverse the Calm Belt, which is infested with huge ship-eating monsters shaped like serpents known as Sea Kings. This allows the Navy to cross otherwise impassable waters.
In Their Own Story
The Marine battleship cut through the still, misty waters of the Calm Belt. Below the surface, the shadow of a Sea King, a serpentine monster large enough to swallow the vessel whole, glided past. But the creature did not attack. It passed by as if the ship were invisible. The captain exhaled, his hand resting on the hull's plating. 'Sea Prism Stone,' he muttered. 'The only reason we can cross this hellish stretch.' The stone's unique property masked their presence, turning the ship into a ghost among the monsters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sea Prism Stone?
Sea Prism Stone, or Kairouseki, is a rare mineral found deep on the ocean floor that mimics the properties of seawater. It acts as a natural counter to Devil Fruit abilities without actually being water.
How does Sea Prism Stone affect Devil Fruit users?
Contact with this stone instantly nullifies a user's supernatural powers and causes extreme physical weakness, making them unable to swim or move effectively. Unlike immersion in the sea, it drains their strength by sealing their connection to the fruit's energy.
Where is Sea Prism Stone commonly used in the world?
The World Government and Marines utilize this mineral for prison bars at Impel Down, as coatings on weapons like Luffy's handcuffs, and as structural fittings on certain ships. Its primary role is to safely contain or combat pirates who possess Devil Fruit powers.
Why is Sea Prism Stone considered so important?
It serves as the only known substance that can neutralize a Devil Fruit user while they are out of water, effectively turning 'gods back into men.' This makes it essential for law enforcement to capture and imprison powerful pirates who would otherwise be unstoppable.
Can Sea Prism Stone permanently remove a Devil Fruit power?
No, the stone only temporarily suppresses abilities and induces fatigue as long as contact is maintained. Once the user is separated from the mineral, their powers return fully without any lasting damage to their body or fruit.
