One Piece: What Kind of Devil Fruit is Ushi Ushi Mo Mi and Who Has It?
We all know how important Devil Fruits are in the world of One Piece. These strange fruits are unique and, depending on their type, can grant specific powers to whoever eats them first. Some of these powers are useless, but others are so powerful that they grant a character a significant power boost. Until Blackbeard acquired two, it was believed that a person could only have one Devil Fruit. In this article, we will discuss a specific Devil Fruit, the Ushi Ushi mo Mi, and you will discover what it is and who possesses it.
The Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison
As we've said, the Ushi Ushi no Mi doesn't exist as a standalone Devil Fruit. Literally, the name can be translated as "Cow Fruit," "Bull Fruit," or even "Ox Fruit," as the word "Ushi" (牛) can mean any of these three animals in Japanese. There are ways to distinguish them, but the general idea is this. Since no one transforms into a bull, cow, or ox in the series, we need to talk about the two subtypes of these Devil Fruits. The first is the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison.
The Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows one to transform into a bison or a human-bison hybrid. This Devil Fruit was consumed by Dalton in the series. It is a bison-head-shaped fruit with black skin, distinctive ochre spiral markings, and a green stem. It also features two white bumps that resemble a pair of horns.
The transformation activated via Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison gives the user a significant power boost (since they become strong like a bison), but also a significant speed boost, since the user can now move in order to create optical illusions.
Dalton used this fruit to move faster in combat. Taking advantage of its incredible speed, he was able to dodge several bullets and defeat numerous enemies. He can also use a special technique called Fiddle Banff, which allows him to charge at his opponents at high speeds and then slice them with his uniquely shaped, exceptionally powerful shovel.
In terms of its weaknesses, the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison does not have any known weaknesses, aside from those commonly associated with Devil Fruits (e.g., the inability to swim).
The name of this fruit has been translated as Ox-Ox Fruit, Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Model, or Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Form, depending on the grower or publisher. And that's all we have to say about this particular subtype, which means we're ready to move on to the next one.
The Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe
The second subtype of the Ushi Ushi no Mi is the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe, which we will introduce to you in this article.
The Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe is also a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a giraffe or a human-giraffe hybrid. Kaku consumed it. This fruit resembles a cluster of red-skinned bananas with typical spiral markings and a light green stem. On the inside, it is yellow and bears the same markings as on the outside.
The transformation grants an increase in physical strength and a greater range of the techniques performed. At first, Jabra and Zoro teased him because a giraffe wasn't considered a dangerous animal, but the jokes stopped when Kaku showed them how deadly he could be in his hybrid form by cutting the Tower of Justice in half. The long neck is vulnerable and can be hit by enemies. Aside from that, the fruit grants the typical weaknesses of all Devil Fruits.
Awakening the fruit allows the user to transform into a hybrid form characterized by dark flames behind their back and a noticeably elastic neck. Kaku can do this because he has awakened his Devil Fruit. Kaku uses the fruit's powers primarily in combat, along with Rokushiki and his swordsmanship.
Initially, the assassin did not fully master the transformations, having only just acquired his powers. However, he soon achieved a good level of mastery. Kaku also uses his neck to carry out attacks, thus reducing the weakness this implies. Outside of a battlefield, Kaku has used his powers to act as a parachute in the streets of San Popula in exchange for the money needed for the medical expenses of his colleague Rob Lucci, who was seriously injured after the incident at Enies Lobby.
After Kaku returned to Enies Lobby, Spandam provided him and Kalifa with two Devil Fruits of unknown powers for the success of the mission. Although Jabra tried to persuade Kaku not to eat him to prevent him from becoming stronger than him, the CP9 agent ate him under Lucci's encouragement, and this is how he gained his powers and abilities.
