User:Kaido King of the Beasts/Draft Pages/Momonosuke's Devil Fruit

Momonosuke's Devil Fruit is an artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit which allows the user to become a serpentine dragon. It was created by Vegapunk, but was cast away as a failure, and was later eaten by Momonosuke.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The fruit grants the user the ability to create semi-solid clouds which they can climb on, greatly enhancing their upward mobility.

However, possibly due to being a failed experiment, the fruit has many unusual traits. Momonosuke instantly became a dragon upon eating the fruit, and was unable to return to his human form for a while. It is unknown if this happened because of the fruit's defects or because of Momonosuke's lack of control over it. When Momonosuke returned to his human form, he was completely naked, which does not happen with normal Zoans.

The dragon form granted by the fruit is unusually small, although it is unknown if it is due to the fruit or simply Momonosuke's small size. It seems to grant the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses, as Momonosuke is unable to swim.

Usage
Due to Momonosuke eating the fruit very recently or the fruit's defects, or perhaps both, Momonosuke does not have much control over his fruit. He was unable to return to human form at first, and only did so much later. He has been switching forms somewhat often after that, though it is unknown if he willingly did so or not.

Momonosuke appeared to be unaware of his ability to generate clouds until he did so accidentally after seeing a hunger-induced vision of Doflamingo. However, when Luffy later told him to do it again, Momonosuke refused and claimed to have no memory of such an ability, and he then had a traumatic memory relating to that ability.

History
The fruit was created by Vegapunk during his research on how Devil Fruits affect the user's lineage factors. However, it was deemed to be a failure.

Momonosuke discovered the fruit in the laboratory on Punk Hazard and ate it in order to fight off his hunger. Immediately after eating it, he was transformed into a dragon with no will to do so.
