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. Kama means "sickle". It can also come from the word kama-itachi, which means "wind-scythe", but can also mean "sickle-weasel", a Japanese demon with sickle-like appendages, slashing like the wind, referenced to this fruit's powers. In the FUNimation dub, it is called the Sickle-Sickle Fruit. It was eaten by Eric.

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. The nails themselves can also be used in close-quarters combat, as seen when Eric cut a retreating Marine.

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. Also, in the concept art, Eric is seen filing his nails, hinting that he has to keep them sharp in order to use his powers.

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

Techniques

 * Kama Kama no Tsumujikaze (カマカマの旋風): Eric releases a powerful air blade that slashes the enemy multiple times on contact. It is strong enough to slice through rock ground. He also launched two of then in a "X" formation. In the FUNimation dub, this is called Sickle-Sickle Whirlwind.


 * Kama Kama no Kamaitachi Midareuchi (カマカマの鎌鼬乱れ撃ち): Eric's "ultimate kamaitachi technique". He slashes many times, releasing multiple air blade sickles on to the enemy before unleashing a powerful whirlwind of razor air that can slice through rocks. In the FUNimation dub, this is called Sickle-Sickle Wind Slash: Rapid Fire.

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 Eric 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.
 * Despite all of his nails being claw-like, Eric is only seen using two fingers at a time when using the fruits powers.
