Pika Pika no Mi

The Pika Pika no Mi is a Logia-type Devil Fruit consumed by Admiral Kizaru. "Pikapika" is an onomatopoeia of glimmering or shining light, making Kizaru the "Light Man". In the Viz Manga and FUNimation subs, it is called the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Like most Logia fruits, this fruit makes the user immune to normal attacks by turning his body into photons and allows him to create beams of light from his body. It also enables him to move at the speed of light and transport himself by means of reflection.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The fruit's major strengths, like other Logia types, allows the user to become the element they control. In this case, Kizaru is able to transform into light. Kizaru is able to utilize light-based attacks that range from shooting lazer beams from his hands or feet (capable of causing massive explosions) to light-speed kicks, all of them being very devastating; he is also able to avoid normal attacks by turning into light and allowing the attack to pass through him completely. Kizaru is also able to travel, and attack at the speed of light. and is able to reflect himself to any desired location. It is likely that he can be reflected like ordinary light while in light form. Due to this fruit's power, Kizaru is the fastest man in the world (as nothing is faster than the speed of light). He is also extremely accurate with his abilities, able to hit the key to Ace's handcuffs from a far distance. Kizaru can also reconstruct his entire body from light particles if he ever gets caught in a surprise attack.

This fruit's power doesn't seem to have any weaknesses other than the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses. However, though this is a Logia-class Devil Fruit that renders the user intangible, Silvers Rayleigh used Haki to suppress the power of the Devil Fruit, nullifying Kizaru's intangibility, and allowing him to kick away his attacks, as well as cut him with a sword. Also, considering it is light-based, his attacks and abilities can only travel in direct, straight lines, and enemies may be able to take advantage of reflective surfaces.

Usage
Kizaru has so far been shown using this fruit to travel at the speed of light (to the point of claiming Monkey D. Luffy in his Gear Second mode being "too slow"), and drastically augment his kicks' strength and speed. He also has been using his fruit's powers to launch powerful light-energy beam attacks at high speeds from his legs that have explosive properties and piercing properties when he uses his fingers. He can blind his opponents and form an energy blade out of pure light.

His Devil Fruit was further researched by Doctor Vegapunk, recreating his blasts in the Pacifista Bartholomew Kuma and his likeness.

Below is a list of his named techniques, all of them are named after one of Japan's Three Sacred Treasures:


 * Yata no Kagami (八咫鏡): Kizaru forms light in between his hands, and reflects it off any surface he wishes. He then rides the light to get to his desired location, as well as blinding his opponents. It was first seen against Scratchmen Apoo, though the second time, it was stopped by Rayleigh by cutting the beam of light with a sword. It's named after the Yata no Kagami. This attack is especially useful for creating light out of nowhere, allowing Kizaru to travel or attack even in darkest places. This is called Sacred Yata Mirror in the Viz Manga and simply Yata Mirror in the FUNimation subs.


 * Ama no Murakumo (天叢雲剣): Kizaru forms a very sharp long sword out of light, similar to Admiral Aokiji's "Ice Saber" technique. It was first used against Silvers Rayleigh. It's named after the Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, which is later known as the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. In the Viz Manga and FUNimation subs, it is called Ama no Murakumo Sword.


 * Yasakani no Magatama (八尺瓊曲玉): Kizaru uses both hands to fire a torrent of deadly light particles, causing extreme damage to whatever they hit. Kizaru can control the spread of the attack, limiting it to a single person over covering a wide area. It can also penetrate water with ease. It was first used against Whitebeard but blocked by Marco. He used it again with a much wider spread in a failed attempt to strike down the Heart Pirates' submarine. It's named after the Yasakani no Magatama. This is called Yasakani String of Jewels in the Viz Manga and Yasakani Sacred Jewel in the FUNimation subs.


 * Ama no Iwato (天岩戸): A video game only special attack, debuted in Gigant Battle, and has yet to make an appearance in the actual series' mainstream. Kizaru shoots a laser beam from his feet in the form of a monkey head. It's named after the Amano-Iwato, the cave of Shinto mythology.

Trivia

 * Kizaru's attacks are named after the three sacred treasures of the Imperial Regalia of Japan, which gives him a theme of the Shinto religion.
 * Kizaru's fight against Rayleigh could be a reference to a phenomenon of scattering light that was named after the physicist Lord Rayleigh as "Rayleigh scattering".
 * Like the other three Admirals, Kizaru's Devil Fruit, whose attacks often give off a yellowish color, matches his nickname, "The Yellow Monkey".
 * Considering Admiral Akainu's "Ganshō Kenga" and "Meigō" attacks and Admiral Aokiji's "Ice Block: Pheasant Beak" attack, Admiral Kizaru is the only Admiral left that hasn't used an attack resembling his animal epithet, discounting the Gigant Battle video game-only attack "Ama no Iwano".
 * Since this fruit produces photons (light particles), it is similar to the Noro Noro no Mi, which produces "Noroma Photons". However, their speed theme is polar opposite to each other.
