Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model: Kabutomushi

The Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model: Kabutomushi is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a rhinoceros beetle hybrid and full rhinoceros beetle at will. It was eaten by Kabu.

Etymology

 * Mushi (虫) is Japanese for "insect".
 * Kabutomushi is the Japanese name for the Japanese rhinoceros beetle.
 * Unusually, the animal part of this fruit is named in Japanese instead of English like other Zoan, sharing this distinction with its fellow Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model: Suzumebachi and the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu.
 * In the FUNimation adaptations, it is called the Bug-Bug Fruit, Model Rhinoceros Beetle.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The main strength of this fruit is that it allows the user to transform into a rhinoceros beetle, giving them wings, a second pair of arms, and a horn.

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

Usage
Kabu uses the wings granted by his form to fly. Kabu's speed also increases dramatically while he is in hybrid form.

Techniques

 * Beetle Upper (ビートルアッパー): By increasing his speed to the highest levels, Kabu rushes towards his targets while spinning to headbutt his enemies. The momentum is powerful enough to send four executives of the Doflamingo Pirates flying. It was first used against the unconscious Machvise, Lao G, Dellinger, and Sugar to prevent Giolla from healing them with Mansherry's ability. In the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub, it is called Beetle Uppercut.
