The Moku Moku no Mi is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into smoke at will. "Mokumoku" means sound billowing smoke makes. "Moku" is also an anagram of "kumo", which means "cloud". In the Viz English manga and FUNimation dub, this fruit is called the Plume-Plume Fruit, while in the 4Kids dub, it's called the Smoke-Smoke Fruit. This Devil Fruit was eaten by Smoker.

[edit] Strength and Weaknesses
The user of this fruit is able to generate, manipulate, and become smoke. Like most other Logia Fruits, when Commodore Smoker is hit, he can simply use the fruit's power to become smoke, thus absorbing the attack.
Also, the user is able to increase the density of the smoke, and thus is able to grasp objects. This seems to be the primary way Commodore Smoker catches pirates. However, it is possible to escape the smokes hold by a sudden expansion of the body (such as Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Fuusen).
It would seem that when confronted by fire, they will cancel out one another. Also, as Smoker has not mastered his powers fully to use them reflexively, if he is caught off-guard, he will be vulnerable. Recently, however, Smoker seems to have learned to activate his intangibility by reflexes, thus eliminating that one weakness. Other than that, the user is also affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
[edit] Usage
Smoker has mainly used the smoke produced by his fruit to capture his opponents, earning him the nickname "White Hunter". He covers his targets with an intangible smoke, then solidifies it to make the capture or a strike.
Smoker has also shown to power the engine of his motorbike, the Blower Bike, with his smoke powers, allowing in-land travel.
Below is a list of his named techniques:
- White Out (ホワイト･アウト, Howaito Auto): Smoker shoots clouds of normal smoke from his arms and uses them to engulf his opponent, then makes the smoke denser to hold them in place. In the 4Kids dub, this attack is called Smoke Screen. The FUNinmation dub calls this technique White-Out Time, but also as Smoke Screen.
- White Blow (ホワイト･ブロー, Howaito Burō): Smoker shoots a cloud of dense smoke from his arms to blast his opponent hard. After striking, he can then trap his opponent as with the White Out attack. He has another variation of this attack where he turns only one arm (except his fist) into smoke and launches the fist at his opponent as a long-range punch. This attack is called White Fist in the Viz Manga, Smoke Strike in the 4Kids dub, and Smoke Screen in the FUNimation dub (though it is referred to as White Blow in a later dubbed episode).
- White Snake (ホワイトスネーク, Howaito Sunēku): Smoker launches a long "snake" of dense smoke from his hand that he makes follow the opponent until it hits and grabs them. This is sometimes followed by him thrashing his foe around. In the 4Kids dub, this is called Smoke Snake.
- White Spark (ホワイト･スパーク, Howaito Supāku): Smoker transforms his whole body into a cloud of dense smoke and charges at the opponent. In the 4Kids dub, this is called Smoke Spark.
- White Vine (白蔓 (ホワイト･バイン), Howaito Bain): Smoker transforms into a spiraling column of smoke to trap his enemies or to grab an airborne target. In the 4Kids dub, this is called Smoke Stack.
- White Launcher (ホワイトランチャー, Howaito Ranchā): Smoker transforms himself into smoke and launches himself at his opponent, then re-solidifies and pins him down with the Kairoseki jutte.
[edit] Trivia
- This was the first Logia Devil Fruit revealed in One Piece.
- Despite smoke being naturally an intangible element, Smoker can somehow make it tangible (hardening) to capture his opponents.
