Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon is an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a pteranodon hybrid and a full pteranodon at will. It was eaten by King.

Etymology

 * Ryū (竜) is Japanese for "dragon" and can be found in the Japanese term for "dinosaur", kyōryū (恐竜), and dinosaur-related terms, such as yokuryū (翼竜).

Strengths and Weaknesses
The major strength of this fruit is that it allows the user to turn into a pteranodon, a large and powerful predator from the prehistoric era. The user is capable of flight, and can attack in this form, as shown when King (as a pteranodon) knocked the Queen Mama Chanter off a waterfall.

No weaknesses are currently known aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
King uses this fruit in combat, as shown when he flew toward the oncoming Big Mom Pirates and attacked their ship while in pteranodon form.

Trivia

 * King possessing this fruit and the "Conflagration" epithet bears resemblance to the kaiju Fire Rodan, a pteranodon who resides in a volcano and among the major reoccurring kaiju in the Godzilla franchise.
 * This is the second Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit not based on a dinosaur, the first being the Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth.
 * Despite not being dinosaurs, they are still close cousins to them. The two families are found in the clade "Avemetatarsalia" and were only 3 families that are known to have come from this clade.
