Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Tyrannosaurus
English Name: Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Tyrannosaurus
Classification: Ancient Zoan
Owned By: Jones “The Storm”
Appearance: The body is akin to that of a dragon fruit, but wider, rounded and squat, with the usual ridges ascending the body in a manner akin to spines, the skin a deep coppery-crimson hue. The tell-tale swirled pattern of the devil fruit curls in the exterior of each ridge, and the bright green “t”-shaped stem sticks out from the top.
The fruit’s bite is incredibly tough and leathery, like a jerky that’s been aged much too long, with a pungent and offending taste not unlike that of a raw meat indescribable in nature.
Ability:
- Hybrid Form
This is the state midway between the user’s original and Zoan-adopted forms, often used as the happy middle ground and staple between that grants the best balance of strengths. The user’s body enlarges, gaining a larger, more-pronounced musculature, with a copper-colored hide expanding over the majority over their body’s exterior, producing a “mask” over the face up to the nose line leaving the lower face unchanged as well as the central torso remaining humanlike, resembling a cowl of sorts, with their irises becoming a piercing red. A long, thick tail with a striped pattern extends from their lower back, not prehensile enough to use like a limb but dense and firm enough so to be used as a weapon. Their digits are replaced by strong, dense talons, and their legs become thick, muscular, and digitigrade, with wide, three-toed feet sporting huge, curved claws.
- Full Beast Form
By fulling shifting into their Zoan form, the user wholly becomes a huge, powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex. Though this form sacrifices the finer dexterity and agility of the base or Hybrid states, their primal strength may be fully realized in a state that distributes it throughout a colossal body, making for maximum potential for raw power and devastation. This form stands at a stature of 4 meters tall (13’1’’) from foot to hip in the usual hunched saurian gait, with a body length head to tail of a whopping 13.1 meters (43’) long, and weighing in at a tremendous 8.8 metric tons. They possess a thick, rigid, coppery hide all across their body, with black stripes running along the length of their tail. Like in Hybrid Form, their irises are a luminescent red, but the sclera of their eyes has now changed to a dim yellow.
- The Tyrant of Legend
Whomever eats this fruit attains the full might of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the famed apex predator of ancient times. As an Ancient Zoan, the user attains a level of strength well beyond what the usual Zoan scope provides, able to crush through stone and tear through metals without issue, so long as their bestial aspects are being made manifest.
Among its contemporaries, the Tyrannosaurus stands out in respects, renown for a jaw strength said to outclass that of all terrestrial creatures, with an incredible, exponential musculature even for its size that made it akin to a zoological superweapon.
Weaknesses:
- Loathed By The Sea
As is with all Devil Fruits, the consumer henceforth becomes weakened and drained of strength when mostly submerged in standing water. If fully submerged, they become afflicted with the "hammer" phenomena unique to Devil Fruit Users, helplessly sinking completely immobilized to the bottom. Even when only partly submerged, they are unable to use their power.
As with all Devil Fruit users, the individual becomes susceptible to Seastone; being attacked with it will bypass any defenses, and being restrained by it will weaken immensely and cut off use of powers.
