Susu Susu no Mi

The Susu Susu no Mi is a Logia-type Devil Fruit which allows the user to create, control, and transform into soot at will. It was eaten by Karasu.

Etymology

 * Susu (煤) means "soot" in Japanese.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Much like other Logia powers, the fruit's main strength consists of allowing the user to generate, control and become an element of nature; in this case, particles of burned organic matter, which are known as soot. Once transformed into soot, the user gains intangibility and becomes invulnerable to most physical attacks and projectiles as a result. The user can shape their body and the soot they generate into any way they please.

Usage
Karasu mainly uses this ability to divide himself into a murder of crows composed of soot. In this state he can grab and steal weapons from multiple enemies or communicate through an individual crow.

Techniques

 * Karasusu: The technique's name can be seen as a pun based on the Japanese name for crow ending with the syllable -su (that if doubled means "soot"). In the VIZ manga, the technique is called Kara-Soot.




 * Obelisusu: The technique's name is a pun on oberisuku (オベリスク), the Japanese way of pronouncing "obelisk" (with the first two kanji derived from a more obscure term hōsenchū (方尖柱), also meaning "obelisk"). In the VIZ manga, the technique is called Obeli-Soots.


 * Karasu Renkon: The technique's name is a pun on renkon (蓮根), meaning "lotus root" (with the kanji ren (蓮) for "lotus" replaced with ren (連) for "leading/joining/connecting" or "party/gang/clique"). In the VIZ manga, the technique is called Crow Soul Lotus.

Trivia

 * This is the second known Devil Fruit with a name whose first part comprises a single quadrupled katakana: su (ス). The first such fruit introduced is Streusen's Kuku Kuku no Mi.
