The Haji-Haji no Mi, or the Grip-Grip Fruit, is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that incredibly strengthens the user's grip, making them a Gripping Human. It was eaten by Marx Brigo.
Usage[]
The fruit enhances the user's grip, allowing them to hold onto anything without having it slip out of their hands. The effect applies to solid matter, living organisms, and certain gases, however, there is no effect on any liquids whatsoever.
While the user is holding onto something, the objects mass decreases significantly, allowing them to carry it easily no matter how heavy the object is. This also allows the user to tear chunks out of solid walls or the ground with ease. The user may also use this application to climb walls and ceilings.
The user may grab any living organism, and that organism will remain attached to their hand until the user wishes them to be released. They can be thrown around as the user likes and remain attached, creating oppurtunities for grappling.
An interesting ability of the fruit is that the user can grab onto gases or other airborne masses, like poison gas, smoke, and even the air itself. The user is able to grab onto however big a space they wish, and as a result are able to manipulate the air at will.
Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Some strengths, aside from the aforementioned abilities, is that the user can apply the fruit's powers to their feet. Combined with the Air Grip ability, the user can create footholds on which to stand on in the air.
The fruit suffers from standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
Techniques[]
Body Grip: Brigo grabs his opponent, then proceeds to toss them around, slamming them into the ground, walls, objects, and into the air. Should Haki be applied, his opponent will have the effects of Haki placed onto them. This technique works well with a grappling-like fighting style, like wrestling or judo.
Air Grip: Brigo grabs onto a section of the air and manipulates it as he wishes. This technique usually requires Haki to be applied to it, otherwise the air will not make any impact upon an opponent. This ability has many applications.
- Air Grip Forge: Using his hands, Brigo molds and shapes the air into weaponry, such as swords, guns, or bludgeon weapons.
- Air Grip Anvil: Brigo crushes his opponent beneath a giant solid section of air. His move is very deadly to normal enemies, and successful at pinning down certain Devil Fruit users(i.e. Luffy).
- Air Grip Climber: Brigo grips small sections of the air and uses them to propel himself upwards.
The Air Grip also applies to gases, letting him manipulate poisonous gas, mist, smoke, etc. similarly.
Terra Grip: Brigo grips the ground or a wall and tears a chunk out of it. He encases it in Haki, then proceeds to hurl it at his opponent.
