The Beri Beri no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform their body parts into a multitude of berry-like balls, making the user a Grape Human (ブドウ人間, Budō Ningen?). The effect is similar to that of the Bara Bara no Mi. It was eaten by Very Good.[2]

Etymology[]

  • "Beri" (ベリー?) is the Japanese inflection of the English word "berry." Not to be confused with the Belly, the currency of the One Piece world.
  • In the Viz Manga and Funimation dub, it is called the Berry-Berry Fruit.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

Upon eating the fruit, the eater is able to divide themselves into several spherical, cannonball-like projectiles. This makes the user immune to blunt attacks, similar to how the Bara Bara no Mi makes its user immune to cutting attacks. By turning into berry-shaped balls, an attack like Franky's punch, Strong Right, appears to be nullified.[3]

In the anime, it is shown that the user's body parts can float in midair like Buggy and swarm around the opponent, allowing each ball to charge at the opponent from different angles. In the manga, the balls were only able to bounce. Unlike the Bara Bara no Mi, the Beri Beri no Mi's power allows the user to levitate all separate parts of his body, including the feet.

Weaknesses[]

Unfortunately for the user, any defensive advantages granted by this ability comes at the expense of strength and speed, as the user's charging attacks can be blocked with both Franky's arms and Zoro's swords. Unlike the Bara Bara no Mi, it also seems that the user's body can only be split once, and the balls cannot be split further into smaller parts. Lastly, the user needs to keep track of all of its parts, as if the opponent grabs one of the balls, there is no easy way to recover it. Franky defeated Very Good by grabbing his head, leaving him defenseless. Other than that, the user is also affected by standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage[]

The Beri Beri no Mi allows the user to transform into a group of balls, dubbed "berries." Once the user's body is divided, the user is able to attack the opponent from multiple angles, as the balls can be launched at the opponent as projectiles.

Trivia[]

  • This fruit's power can be considered the polar opposite of the Bara Bara no Mi, as the latter is immune to blades but not blunt attacks, but the former is immune to blunt attacks but not blades.
