![]() ![]() In the anime, Luffy has used his stretching abilities to inhale great amounts of air to thus exhale a big gust of wind this application of his powers was used to blow away Marigold's poisonous vapor from her venom spit and Magellan's poison breath. This gives the user the option of several jumping and airborne attacks that would have been disadvantageous to most other people. Luffy has shown a limited ability of moving in mid-air, by grabbing onto something with an extended limb and pulling himself away from what could have been a fatal attack. A stretched limb can be used to store potential energy like a stretched spring, increasing the velocity by stretching their arm back, resulting in increased power. For offense, stretching allows the user to drastically increase the range of what would otherwise be considered a powerful close-range attack, turning it into a devastating mid-range or long-range attack. The user's ability to stretch and twist like rubber to extreme lengths not only makes them immune to injuries that originate from such, but it also grants them the skill to rebound from hard surfaces or reach people that are far away from their position. Luffy using a stretching punch to hit a target from afar. Those same properties may also grant some resistance towards underwater pressure, letting the user fight while surrounded by a deep underwater environment despite the usual Devil Fruit weakness. This immunity to electricity allows the user of the Gomu Gomu no Mi to hit the user of the Goro Goro no Mi (an electricity Logia) without needing Haki. Furthermore, thanks to rubber's natural insulating properties, the user is also immune to electrical attacks, such as those from the Goro Goro no Mi, Electro, and Zeus. This means that certain actions that otherwise would be impossible to do with a normal human body, such as pumping one's own blood or bones with air, can be achieved through this ability for extra speed or power. ![]() The fruit enables all parts of the consumer's body to behave like rubber, including their organs. Luffy's rubber body allows him to hit Enel, whose body is made of electricity. Situations like falls from great heights and heavy collisions that would kill a normal person end up being non-lethal or even painless, and certain traps and hazards are rendered ineffective considering the user's enhanced flexibility. The user becomes almost completely immune to blunt damage, including hand-to-hand combat, blunt weapons, bullets, and even cannonballs, all of which will just bounce off from his skin. Unlike most other Devil Fruits, the effects of the Gomu Gomu no Mi are always active, making the user's body permanently rubbery. The fruit's major strength, as demonstrated by Luffy, is that the user's body permanently adopts the properties of rubber: their body can stretch, bend, bounce, inflate, and twist like said substance, even when the user himself is nullified. After achieving an Awakening though, the fruit's true power as a Mythical Zoan is unleashed, giving the user a new transformation where their hair and clothes turn white, their eyes glow red with white ring-like pupils, and white clouds float around their neck, giving them the appearance of the mythical Sun God, Nika, granting their already rubbery body more strength and freedom and turning the user into a " Warrior of Liberation" ( 解放の戦士, Kaihō no Senshi ?). However, due to the fruit's true power being dormant, the user's human body is limited to restrictions and transformations similar in nature to most Paramecias. ĭue to its unique nature, this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit grants the user a baseline body with the properties of rubber. While its final design has the characteristic Devil Fruit swirls all over it, the fruit was initially drawn without them in the first version of Romance Dawn. Its overall appearance greatly resembles a Yubari King. The Gomu Gomu no Mi is a violet, spherical shaped fruit with a stem sprouting out of the top, with swirls that go in a curly "S" like-pattern. The Gomu Gomu no Mi in Shanks' treasure chest. In the VIZ Manga, 4Kids and Funimation dubs, it is called the Gum-Gum Fruit, "gum" being a soft, cohesive substance designed for chewing, with elastic properties, and its original name is called the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika.Hito ( 人 ?) is Japanese for "person/human (being)".Gomu ( ゴム ?) means "rubber" in Japanese, being borrowed from the Dutch word gom ("gum"). ![]()
