Kama Kama no Mi

The Kama Kama no Mi is a Devil Fruit that gives the user two-inch long claws and the ability to attack with blades of air. Eaten by Erik the Whirlwind.

"Kama" means "sickle." It can also come from the word "Kamaitachi" (Sickle weasel), a Japanese demon with sickle-like appendages, slashing like the wind, a reference to this fruit's powers.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The main strength of this fruit is that it lengthens the nails of the user of two inches, which are capable of slicing through the air itself, creating razor-sharp vacuum blades that can slice through the targets from a distance, thus allowing long range attacks. It is unknown if these nails themselves can be used in close-quarters combat.

This fruit doesn't seem to have any specific weaknesses, aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses. However, the name of the Devil Fruit sounds close to "okama", thus may cause confusion to others in regards to that aspect.

Usage
This Devil Fruit gives Erik power similar to CP9's Rokushiki move Rankyaku but, as Erik is a filler character, it is unknown which is stronger. Erik's abilities comes from a Devil Fruit power, but the Rokushiki moves are of Super-Human Strength. Luffy was able to withstand Erik's attack with ease, while he recoils after being hit with Rankyaku.

Techniques

 * Kama Kama no Tsumujikaze (カマカマの旋風, Sickle Sickle Whirlwind): Erik releases a powerful whirlwind that slashes the enemy.


 * Kamaitachi Midareuchi (鎌鼬乱れ撃ち, Whirlwind Chaos): Erik releases many air blade sickles on to the enemy. Kamaitachi means "Sickle Weasel", and is a Japanese mythological creature: a weasel demon that cuts the victim fast as the wind, fast enough to partially heal it afterward, thus resulting gaping wounds with little bleeding.

Trivia

 * Due to a mishearing of the Devil Fruit's name, some of the Straw Hats mistook the name of the fruit as "Okama Okama" and thought Erik was gay. In the Funimation dub, this joke is carried over with the Straw Hats mistaking the Sickle-Sickle Fruit for the Sicko-Sicko Fruit.
