Morel Mackernasey

Nen Type: Manipulation

Morel is a Hunter who uses a giant smoking pipe and smoke as weapons, and who has a great sense of compassion. As his role progresses during the chimera ant arc, Morel shows himself as an experienced and resourceful fighter, which is shown in his fight against Leol wherein he uses his pipe as a snorkel so that he could allow himself to breathe underwater, and in doing so suffocates his opponent with the Carbon Dioxide he had emitted. The smoke that he uses are for his nen ability, able to take on various shapes and could act independently to him once commands are issued.

Morel's Abilities:

~! Deep Purple (紫煙機兵隊ディープパープル Purple Haze Soldiers)
Type: Emission, Manipulation, and Transmutation
This ability allows Morel to transmute his aura into smoke and to manipulate it in any way he sees fit. With the aid of his giant pipe, he produces great amounts of smoke which he can then shape in countless constructs, such as ropes, grass, hoses, rafts, rabbits, dolls, and even replicas of individuals fully capable of speech and with remarkable strength and speed, although physical contact with them will expose the trick. Smoke constructs can also be told apart from living beings with En, although not with general aura sensing. Morel can change the color of the smoke to make the created objects seem more realistic, even using them to blend into his surroundings, as well as modify their durability to the point they can become virtually indestructible. The versatility of Deep Purple is such that Morel boasted he had yet to meet a Nen user with a more flexible ability.

His most complex creations are the Smoke Troopers. Morel can emit cores wherein he puts simple Manipulation commands, such as to attack defensively and retreat when encountered by an enemy, before covering the cores with smoke and mold them into his Troopers, which then start acting automatically. It is possible that the cores are not always required, as Morel was able to create Troopers directly from his exhaled smoke. In this case they seem to operate by taking direct orders from Morel rather than relying on preset commands. Alternatively, it is possible that Morel can form the cores remotely, at the same time as he shapes the smoke into constructs. Morel can create a maximum of 216 dolls. By sacrificing quantity to gain quality, he can compress that amount to 50. These dolls then become more complex than his regular dolls, and Neferpitou admitted their quality was superior to the one they controlled. Deep Purple caps Morel's aura output. Dispelling the constructs enables Morel to retrieve the aura he poured into them and utilize it again.

Smoky Jail (監獄ロックスモーキージェイル)
Type: Manipulation and Transmutation
Morel encases himself and the opponent in an impenetrable barrier made out of smoke. The barrier appears to be unbreakable both from the inside and the outside, as Menthuthuyoupi was unable to damage it with his regular attacks as well as his explosions. Only particle-sized bodies can cross it. Since the smoky aura is detached from his body, Emission might also be involved in the ability.!~
