According to the wiki page on [Trebol](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Trebol),
he should be a Logia user, using the Sticky Fruit's powers. This was verified
in chapters 741 and 760, when we could see Trebol completely unaffected after
being cut into pieces by Usopp and Law. Now chapter 782 makes me really
confused.

question
one-piece
What are Trebol's powers?


I truly believe he is a Logia user, it just makes sense. I agree that he used
his powers to make his mucus outer shell. I believe he activates his full
Logia powers when he needs to, thereby making his coat an extension of his
body. Then he refrains from using his powers to keep his real body separate
from his coat so as not to be hurt by haki users. So opponents never really
know what they are hitting.

I compare him to a jello mold with a piece of pineapple in the center. Hard to
get to that pineapple by simple means lol.

I also agree that Law's sword was imbued with haki to hurt him. They were in
Law's Room after all, so it is quite possible that he was able to gain control
of his arm and attach haki.

There are still things to clarify so far.  
Right now, he may be paramecia or logia.

**Logia** because of how flexible he can be and surviving after being cut by
Law.  
**Paramecia** because he may be just like Magellan who produces poison out of
his body but cannot transform his body to be entirely made of poison. Both of
them just produce the material out of their bodies. He survived Law's cutting
maybe because of his very thin and flexible body that he could hide it in his
very thick mucus.

Many are using the argument that Trebol hid within a piece of his body to
evade Usopp's attack and that Luffy missed him because of how skinny he is.
Trebol's height never changed. Even after losing his outer layer he was still
just as tall. So for him to hide within his body like that would mean he'd
have to be a contortionist with mad skills. And the angle and way he was
looking through the hole Luffy made would suggest he could move his neck and
body in a way that would snap a normal human spine.

In the anime, after Usopp's attack, Trebol reforms himself entirely. You can
see his hand reform as it is grabbing his staff.

Trebol's devil fruit type is a mystery so far. Oda will have to confirm which
he truly is. If he reforms himself after the explosion then we will have our
answer. I still believe he is a Logia user.

I would like to share these speculations from various users:  
  
**Why Trebol is not a logia?**

  * SBS Oda said that Logia is typically a "force of nature" which "sticky stuff" is not.
  * His entire outer appearance is probably created by the goo and has the ability to hide his real body anywhere inside and that makes him looks a logia
  * He is a paramecia type like Buggy. You could cut up buggy into a million pieces and he can reform again.
  * Most people in the series tend to have a secondary skill. He could be incredibly flexible and could have hid in one of the halfs of his body when Usopp cuts him to pieces.
  * Law might have used haki on his blade to severely cut him (but we haven't seen that Haki works like that even when the user part is cut he can still use haki). 
  * Trebol makes a statement "Am I even a logia?" 

**Why is Trebol a logia?**

  * Ussop and Law cut him into multiple pieces but each time without any haki or room ability being involved, so they didnt damage his actual body which is logia.

  * Trebol's actual "logia body" is the skinny one. He creates the substance and it clings to his sticky body and wears the huge coat to give the appearance of being a huge target. 

  * Despite being skinny he's incredibly tall with a long limb. He could not possibly scrunch up his limbs in a impossible speed enough to "hide" in his half when Usopp cut him to pieces.

  * Luffy's haki didn't hurt maybe because he purposefully let the attack pass through because he said "Logia means nothing to me".

**Another Speculation:**  

  * Oda committed a mistake on Trembols power. Noticed that he did create a mistake for the power of Moria during the battle in Marineford. Zombies appeared in bandages during the battle at marineford just using shadows of marine soldiers.(Hogback should be at the scene to create those body of zombies and shadows was taken under the sunlight, marines should have evaporated along with the zombies). But Oda just let it slide because Moria will be useless at the Marineford if he doesn't have that power. Maybe the same happened to Trembol.

**After reading all discussions about Trebol I came with this conclusion:**

  * Its not clearly confirmed if Trebol is a Paramecia or Logia type. I think this issue will remain ambiguous until Oda confirms the facts.
