“

Alors, tu te déplaces sous terre pour nous pourchasser ? Quel pouvoir stupéfiant ! Tu peux donc nous traquer n'importe où.

”

—Bruno Bucciarati, Chapter 556: "Green Day" and "Oasis", Part 3

Oasis (オアシス, Oashisu) est le Stand de Secco, figurant dans Vento Aureo. Oasis se présente sous la forme d'une combinaison couvrant Secco et lui permettant de liquéfier le sol pour nager dedans.

Apparence

Contrairement à la plupart des Stands, Oasis prend la forme d'une combinaison qui couvre le corps, un peu comme White Album. Oasis couvre la majeure partie du corps de Secco, ne laissant découverts que les yeux, le haut du torse et les poignets (bien que les poignets soient couverts dans la majorité des panneaux du manga). Oasis est de nombreuses sutures parallèles.

Son design est sensé rappeler la peau d'un serpent.^[1]

Oasis est principalement représenté comme étant brun clair avec des points de suture orange dispersés autour de son corps, les points de suture sur son visage étant soit turquoise, soit jaune clair.

Pouvoirs

Oasis est rare parmi les Stands car il se présente sous la forme d'une combinaison moulante portée par Secco. Ce dernier se bat donc directement avec ses pouvoirs et ses poings. Avec son pouvoir de liquéfier le sol et la puissance que lui confère Oasis, Secco est en réalité un manieur de Stand redoutable qui est très dangerous au combat au corps à corps, au moins plus puissant que Sticky Fingers.

Oasis forme une combinaison mortelle avec Cioccolata et Green Day. Premièrement, Secco est protégé des effets de Green Day et peut se déplacer sous terre sans être infecté par la moisissure de Green Day, agissant en toute impunité. Deuxièmement, il est facile à Secco de faire s'enfoncer ses victimes dans le sol, déclenchant la croissance de la moisissure dans leur corps.

Liquéfaction du Sol

Le pouvoir d'Oasis est de liquéfier le sol (et d'autres choses inertes) qu'il touche.^[2]

Stone takes on a sludgy state

To liquefy the ground, Secco must touch the rock; if he loses contact with any chunk of it, it immediately hardens.^[3] The liquefied ground has the consistency of mud but also has elastic properties, enabling Oasis to be used in conjunction with Cioccolata's Green Day in order to make victims sink into the ground and have the mold of Green Day rot their flesh. However, Bucciarati does remark that the stone still conserves its solidity despite its liquified state. Secco's power is theorized to have a 10 meters range at most by Mista.^[4]

Secco can swim underground

The main use of this ability is to allow Secco to travel underground by swimming through it,^[5] keeping him both hidden from view and safe from attacks while allowing him to move at a faster pace than someone could run on the liquefied ground.^[4] Secco cannot see while traveling underground,^[2] however, and so relies on his hearing to help him track his enemies.

With this power, Secco can also sink whole structures like a set of stairs into the ground.^[5] Moreover, he's able to weaponize this ability: by flinging the liquefied ground, Secco is able to turn it into harmful projectiles that injure his enemies (the liquid ground hardens the instant it breaks contact with Oasis). He mainly uses this by spitting liquid ground from his mouth, keeping his hands free for swimming. Depending on his method, he can spit rocks with enough power to deflect bullets,^[4] or spit a load of mud high into the air to rain down as deadly spikes.^[3]

Oasis also allows Secco to augment the speed and power of his punches by taking advantage of the liquefied ground's elastic properties. By pushing his elbows into liquefied ground, he's able to rebound his arms off the surface and rapidly spring his fists toward his target as a result. This ability was described by Bucciarati as a "boxer bouncing off the ropes as he punches", enabling Secco to overpower a close-ranged Power-type Stand like Sticky Fingers.^[6]

Oasis can also melt the human body if someone stays underground near Secco or through direct contact with him.^[7]^[8]

Boost physique

Oasis enhances Secco's physical abilities, mainly his power and speed. While wearing Oasis, Secco can effortlessly dodge several bullets^[4] or even deflect them with his punches.^[9] He can kick faster than Sticky Fingers can punch,^[6] and he can punch the softened ground to create a shockwave powerful enough to flip several cars and destroy a section of the Colosseum.^[7]
