The Gumo Gumo no Mi is a Special Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create, control and transform into clouds at will, turning them into a Cloud Human (雲人間 Kumo Ningen?). It was eaten by Sakuya, better known as the captain of the Wukong Pirates.
Etymology[]
- Gumo (雲?) means "cloud" in Japanese.
Appearance[]
The Gumo Gumo no Mi is a unique and intriguing Devil Fruit with an appearance that perfectly matches its abilities. The fruit resembles a cluster of clouds with a long stem that resembles a lightning bolt piercing through the top and out the bottom. The cloud-like clusters are fluffy and white, just like a typical cumulus cloud, with a few darker spots here and there to add some texture.
Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
This fruit's major strength lies within its ability to create, manipulate and transform into clouds, ranging from common types of clouds such as thunderclouds to rare and exotic clouds found in sky islands such as Iron Clouds and Ball Clouds. The user can also manipulate the density of the clouds they produce, allowing them to become akin to mist or cumulus clouds. By turning into clouds, the user becomes intangible and thus, can let attacks to harmlessly pass through their cloudy body. Additionally, unlike other Special Paramecia, the user can fly by either manipulating their cloud body or manifesting a cloud beneath them.
However, with their ability to generate and control clouds, a skilled user can manipulate the weather around them through the knowledge of meteorology and weather systems. By controlling the direction and intensity of said weather, it becomes a formidable tool capable of being used for offensive, defensive or supplementary purposes in combat and other scenarios. They also possess the ability to produce different types of clouds by interacting with new ones. According to Sakuya, upon encountering Snow Cloud in Paradise, she interreacted and studied them, which allowed her to integrate it into her skillset.
Weaknesses[]
The Gumo Gumo no Mi has the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses. The user is unable to swim and becomes vulnerable to drowning. The user is also vulnerable to attacks from sea stone and is unable to use their powers while in contact with it.
