Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus

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

Etymology

 * Ryū (竜) is Japanese for "dragon" and can be found in the Japanese term for "dinosaur" (恐竜).

Strengths and Weaknesses
The major strength of this fruit is that it allows the user to turn into a brachiosaurus, granting them an immense boost to their size and bulk. Their size is comparable to that of a giant, as a fully-transformed Queen is shown to tower over Big Mom, who herself is extremely tall at over 8 meters.



Due to the signature long neck of the brachiosaurus, the user is able to reach targets that may be further away than they normally can by chomping down on them. The user's immense weight can be used as a weapon, as very little will be able to withstand the crushing pressure of their massive transformed body.

Like other Ancient Zoans, this fruit appears to grant enhanced durability. Even someone as powerful as Tony Tony Chopper in his strongest form, the Monster Point, is unable to truly harm Queen despite having enough strength to swing around the latter's brachiosaurus form. Similarly, Big Mom, one of the most powerful combatants in the entire world, was only able to knock Queen out for a few minutes, at which point Queen recovered with no lasting injuries.

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

Usage
Queen uses this fruit in combat in a variety of ways, from jumping on Big Mom in an attempt to crush her to grabbing Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro with his mouth.

As a cyborg, Queen is capable of enhancing the capabilities of his Devil Fruit through his technological implants, using both of them in conjunction to improve his battling prowess. He seemingly has various weapons equipped into his mouth, such as Gatling gun and a laser beam projector, which he is able to activate while in brachiosaurus form, and an in-built extendable metal cord in his neck that permits his head to stretch further, drastically increasing his reach.

Techniques

 * Brachio Bomber: Queen dives from a high place and lands headfirst on his opponent, crushing them under the immense weight of his brachiosaurus form. It was first used against Big Mom, managing to inflict enough pain to her to recover from her amnesia and then pass out, although she was unharmed otherwise. The kanji in the name possibly represents a pun: 無頼男 (literally meaning "hoodlum man") could be read as buraio, resembling the Japanese pronunciation of "brachio" (ブラキオ).


 * Black Coffee (ブラック): While in full brachiosaurus form, Queen fires a laser beam from his mouth. The beam works similarly to the ones used by the Pacifista and Franky's "Radical Beam", generating an explosion after hitting a surface. Queen first attempted to use this move against Hyogoro, but he was interrupted by Marco before he could fire it, causing Queen to target the Whitebeard pirate with this move instead. However, the technique was not named until Queen used it against Chopper. This technique's name is a pun on the fact that the kanji characters for "Light Flame" (光火) can be read as kō hi, which resembles the Japanese pronunciation of "coffee" (コーヒー, kōhī). The pronunciation of "black" (burakku) is also similar to the "brachio" (burakio) prefix that is consistent with Queen's brachiosaur theme. In this Viz translation, this is called Black Coffee Beam, which is possibly a pun on "coffee bean".

Trivia

 * Despite the brachiosaurus being a herbivore and thus having flat teeth, Queen's brachiosaurus form displays sharp teeth instead.
