Nomi Nomi no Mi

The Nomi Nomi no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user's brain to expand indefinitely with new knowledge, making the user a Brains Human (脳ミソ人間). It was eaten by Vegapunk.

Etymology

 * "Nomi" is derived from nōmiso (脳ミソ) which means "brains" or "brain tissue" in Japanese.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The major strength of this fruit is that it allows the user to store an indefinite amount of information inside their brain, allowing them to remember everything they have ever learned. However, the user's brain and head must expand accordingly to fit all the knowledge. This can cause the user some issues, as having an unnaturally large head can become very inconvenient. Aside from that, the user suffers the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Vegapunk has used this ability to memorize an enormous amount of knowledge, which together with his natural genius intellect has made him the smartest man in the world. Eventually, however, his head became so large that he was near the size of giants. Vegapunk chose to resolve this issue by cutting off the majority of his brain, and connecting it to his main body with an antenna capable of transmitting brain waves. The cut-off brain became what it now known as Punk Records. Vegapunk also created six alter egos of himself known as his satellites, which synchronize with Punk Records daily, essentially sharing the same brain.

Trivia

 * Due to the fact that "Nomi" sounds the same as "no Mi" (の実), the suffix present in the name of every Devil Fruit, the name "Nomi Nomi no Mi" consists of the same two syllables repeated three times. This causes Vegapunk to fumble in his words the first time he explains the ability.
 * This is one of few Devil Fruits that have no known combative capabilities.
