Buki Buki no Mi

The Buki Buki no Mi is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that gives the user the ability to change their body parts into weapons, which lets the user become a Full-body Weapon Human (全身武器人間). "Buki" (武器) means "Weapon". It was eaten by Baby 5. In the Viz Manga, it is called the Arms-Arms Fruit.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The Buki Buki no Mi gives the user the ability to change their body into any kind of weapon. The user can either transform small parts of their body, like the fingers, hands or arms; or a larger body-section, such as their entire torso or even their whole body, into a weapon.

While transformed into a weapon, the user does not take any damage inflicted resulting the weapon's impact, such as detonating while in the state of an explosive. If the user's body is broken apart as a result of the weapon's intended effects, the pieces can easily reform into the user's full body, undamaged, akin to a Logia. However, this Logia-like regeneration does not apply to the user's human form, even if the user is partially transformed.

This fruit has no known weaknesses aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Befitting her occupation as the crew's assassin, Baby 5 uses this fruit's power for assassination and combat at both long and close range. So far, she has been able to change her arm into a cannon, an axe, a scythe and even a bomb. She can transform both small individual parts of her body like transforming her finger into a gun, and she can also turn half of her body into a sword or even transmute her entire body into a rocket or explosive. Partnered with Buffalo and his rotational ability, Baby 5's weapons can gain an increase in momentum and damage range.

Attacks

 * Buki-morphose (武器変貌（ブキモルフォーゼ）): Baby 5 transforms part of her body into the weapon that she wants to be. In the Viz Manga, this is called Arms-morphosis and in the FUNimation subs, this is called Weapon-morphosis.
 * Espada Girl (剣女（エスパーダ・ガール）): Baby 5 turns into a large sword, while her legs serve as the handle. It is strong enough to cut Franky's General Shield in conjunction with Buffalo's rotational abilities. "Espada" is the Spanish and Portuguese word for "sword".
 * Missile Girl (ミサイル女（ガール）): Baby 5 turns into a large missile; Buffalo then uses his "Guru Guru Toshaho" to launch her; this only provides her the additional momentum, as she can move on her own. This combination was first used against Franky. It caused a huge explosion that toppled Franky Shogun but otherwise caused no damage to it. After impact, Baby 5 is blown to pieces and she reforms from those fragments unharmed. Baby 5 called effect of this attack "flaming passion".
 * Revolver Girl (拳銃女（レボルベルガール）): Baby 5 turns into a giant gun barrel and fires rapidly. This was first used against Franky Shogun but dealt no damage.


 * Sickle Girl (鎌女（シックル・ガール）): Baby 5 transforms herself into a kusarigama-like weapon, with her arms combining together to serve as the chain and the legs together into a massive sickle, allowing her to be spun around and used by Buffalo. It was first used against Franky, where their combined attack was strong enough to pierce Franky Shogun's armor.

Anime Only Attacks

 * Buki-morphose (武器変貌（ブキモルフォーゼ）): During the battle with Franky Shogun, she demonstrated extra transformations not seen in the manga.
 * Flying Disk Girl (フライング・ディスク・ガール): Baby 5 transforms into a spinning top and allows herself to be thrown at the enemy by Buffalo at high speed. The attack was easily deflected by Franky Shogun's Franken.
 * Fire Girl (ファイア・ガール): Baby 5 transforms her upper body into a flamethrower. The effectiveness of the attack can be increased by Buffalo creating a gust to fan the flames, increasing their spread and ferocity, but it was still not enough to harm Franky Shogun.

Other Weapons
Besides from them, Baby 5 transformed some of her body parts to different weapons but she did not give them a name. Unlike "Buki-morphose", these transformations are limited to small parts of her body.


 * Left hand as a handheld cannon.
 * Both hands as sickles.
 * Right hand as an axe.
 * Right index finger as a pistol barrel.
 * Right leg as a Gatling gun.
 * Left hand as a cleaver.
 * Left hand and forearm as a musket.

Trivia

 * The Buki Buki no Mi is similar to Wapol's Baku Baku no Mi, as they both allow the user to turn their bodies into weapons; the main difference is that Wapol is limited to the weapons he devours, and has up to twenty-four hours until the weapon is fully digested, while Baby 5 can morph into any type of weapon at anytime. It also grants her capabilities similar to the Supa Supa no Mi and Bomu Bomu no Mi, as both can produce blades and explosives, respectively.
 * Certain Paramecia are mistaken for Logia. The Buki Buki no Mi falls into this category, as it allows the user to produce and become something. In this case, it also provides a form of regeneration based on the chosen transformation. However, weapons are not elements, so it cannot be a Logia.
 * Her Missile Girl form looks similar to Torpedo Girl, a character from Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
