Ori Ori no Mi

The Ori Ori no Mi is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that allows the user to bind their foes in iron shackles by having their foes pass either through the user's body or through the various metal bars the user can create, turing the user into a Cage Human (檻人間, Ori Ningen). Ori (檻) means cage in Japanese. It is called the Bind-Bind Fruit in the Viz Manga and the Cage-Cage Fruit in the 4Kids and FUNimation dubs. It was eaten by Hina.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The major strength of the fruit, as demonstrated by Hina, is that it gives the ability to bind foes via two main means. The first is by having the foes simply pass through the user's body. The second is having the foes pass through the metal bars that the user can create.

The fruit so far doesn't seem to have any specific weaknesses outside the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage


The fruit's bestowed powers, as used by Hina, have been used so far mostly for the subduing of opponents. She can simply bind an opponent that passes through her, or be as complex as forming a cage from her arms to surround them. The named technique that is used by Hina that involves the Devil Fruit are as follows:


 * Awase Baori (袷羽檻): After surrounding an area with a fence-like cage of bars that come out of her arms, Hina closes the cage and binds anyone that is caught inside. The first part of the technique's name is based on the way the cage's bars come out of her arms, which resembles kimono sleeves. The second part of the technique's name is based on the fact that the bars vaguely resemble feathers. This was first seen being used against Luffy at Marineford. In the Viz Manga and FUNimation subs, this is called Kimono Sleeve Cage. The pun in this technique is that the last two symbols of the technique are phonetically identical to that of the last two symbols of the word awase baori (袷羽織), which the last symbol was changed from "weave" (織) to "cage" (檻).
