Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Falcon

The Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Falcon is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a falcon hybrid and a full falcon at will. "Tori" (鳥) is Japanese for "bird". It was eaten by Pell. It is "one of the only five types of 'flying powers'" ever discovered."

Strengths and Weaknesses
This fruit enables a person to become a large falcon and a falcon-human hybrid at will, granting him enhanced senses of a falcon, along with the advantage of having one of the only few Devil Fruits that allow flying. In his full falcon form, he can carry other people on his back while flying. Also in this form, weight does not seem to be much of an issue, as he carried a massive bomb high into the air without showing any strain.

This fruit does not seem to have any specific weaknesses, aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
As shown by Pell, this Devil Fruit grants him increased speed and strength, as well as using his talons to slash through his opponents. It also allows him to fly. This is useful in both traveling and attacking. He is seen attacking with a pair of Gatling guns, making him resemble a fighter plane. He also gave other people rides on his back in his full falcon form. Pell has shown only one attack.


 * Tobizume (飛爪): Pell takes flight in his human/falcon hybrid form, swoops down on his opponent, and attacks with his talons. When using this attack, Pell flies at a blinding speed, appearing to be invisible. This was first used against a group of pirates. In the Viz Manga and 4Kids dub, this is called Flying Claws. In the FUNimation dub this is called Flying Talons.

Translation Issues
The 4Kids name for the fruit happens to hold a similar issue to the "Mutt Mutt" Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Jackal and Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Dachshund as the name is indirectly connected to the animal. While the sound is associated with smaller birds, it strongly contradicts the violent and predatory nature of a falcon and is probably an attempt to make it more appealing to a younger audience. Further more "tweet" is a stereotypical bird call and most birds in actual fact do not use a "tweet"-like call.
