Tako Tako no Mi
English Name:–Tentacle Tentacle Fruit
Classification:– Paramecia
Owned By:–Not Owned
Appearance: At it’s base this fruit resembles a Chinese Buddha’s Hand fruit, though the ‘fingers’ are substantially longer…..and writhe in a slow, creepy fashion. The fingers will automatically grip anything that brushes or touches the fruit and weakly cling to them. The skin is smooth, spongy, and fairly moist. The skin itself has the chameleonic qualities of some Cephalapods, changing its color to match its surroundings or the person holding it, save of course for the signiature swirls that pattern the fruit like all Devil Fruits. These swirls always contrast the fruits primary color at the time. The insides are slimy, and reek of several day old seafood. It tastes as foul as it smells, being sickeningly salty and hard to chew.
Ability:– The user gains the ability to spawn suckered octopus tentacles from their body and/or the surrounding area, including the bodies of other people. Tentacles can only be spawned within the users line of sight, and within a short distance. As the user grows more in tune with their abilities, the distance they can spawn tentacles grows, as well as the size, length, strength, and number of tentacles they can spawn increases.
Basic Techniques
Tako Tako no Burst: The most basic ability of the fruit, which allows the user to ‘burst’ Tentacles from their body or from a surface within twenty meters. All other techniques are a derivative of this basic function. At Class E, the user can create a dozen tentacles MAXIMUM. As these appendages are extensions of the users will, they require concentration and focus to control. The more tentacles spawned, the more concentration required. This makes moving while using the limbs difficult. At max spawn, movement is impossible. Tentacles range in size from the circumference of a soda can to the width of the users body. Tentacles can extend, but the extension is dependent on size. Thicker tentacles are stronger, being up to ten times the strength of the user, but have much less range. Thin tentacles can extend much further, but max out at the strength of the users arms. The range of extension on the smallest tentacles is thirty meters from the point of spawning, while the largest tentacles have an extension range of five meters. Finally, as of Class E: The furthers Burst can be employed from the user is 30 Meters.
Tako Tako no Ink Jet: Commands a summoned tentacle or group of tentacles to spray a high velocity stream of Octopus ink at a target. Ink can blind an enemy and make surfaces slippery thus impairing movement. As user grows stronger stream can get powerful enough to knock people over and eventually cause damage from the impact.
Weaknesses:–. Like all Devil Fruits the user has an innate weakness to the sea and Sea Prism Stone.
In addition, all Spawned tentacles are functionally an extension of the users body. As such any damage taken by the tentacles are taken by the user. They feel all the pain inflicted on their tentacles, and having one severed is as excruciating as having their own removed.
Additionally, Tentacles are no more durable than any natural analogue to their structure. A sword can quite easily cut them apart, though the thicker they get the more difficult such a cut would be. However as they are simply flesh, slicing them is never more difficult than slicing the summoners own skin
Lastly the user may no longer consume Octopus or Squid. Cephalopods in general are poisonous to the user and consuming them creates an effect that is equatable to having eaten Sea Prism Stone.
