Funkfreed is the sword that Spandam uses. Funkfreed "ate" the Zou Zou no Mi and became an elephant-sword. He is charged with chief Spandam's personal protection, to make up for Spandam's physical weakness.

[edit] Appearance

In sword form, he is a large and intimidating Western-Style curved sword, held in one hand and carried by Spandam slung over his back with the handle over his right shoulder. There are two tusks on the hilt, which is shaped like two circles side-by-side (giving it a number 8 shape), with the main blade set between them, and one tusk is set on top of one circle, and a short tail on the pommel. In elephant form, he is a gentle, friendly-looking elephant a little taller than his owner, with white or gray skin.

[edit] Abilities

Main article: Zou Zou no Mi

Being a sword that has absorbed the Zoan-class Devil Fruit, Zou Zou no Mi, Funkfreed can transform into a elephant-sword hybrid and a full elephant at Spandam's command. The Devil Fruit has also granted Funkfreed a life and mind of his own.

Funkfreed can transform into his various forms to adapt fighting the opponent. He can become as heavy as an elephant, all the while maintaining the malleability of a sword.

[edit] Personality

He would seem to be a faithful companion to Spandam, obeying his orders and staying by his side (in either form) at all times. However, he seems to be a little cowardly, as Funkfreed surrendered immediately when faced with Franky's built-in arm weapon in his face (chapter 423).
