Bane Bane no Mi

The Bane Bane no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to turn their limbs, into springs, making the user a Spring Human (バネ人間). "Bane" means spring. It is called the Boing-Boing Fruit in the Viz Manga and the Spring-Spring Fruit in the FUNimation dub. It was eaten by Bellamy the Hyena. The power of the fruit was hinted at with the state of the site where Roshio was killed. The fruit's actual power was revealed when Bellamy and his crew attacked the leaders of the Saruyama Alliance in order to steal Montblanc Cricket's gold.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The major, if not only, strength of the fruit, as demonstrated by Bellamy, is that it gives its user amazing jumping and bouncing power. With this, the user is able to launch themselves at incredible speeds, in order to deliver attacks enhanced by a high magnitude of momentum. With this, he can even break what ever he is jumping off of, shown when he split the Going Merry in half. The user is also able to turn other parts of his body into springs, such as the arms to release strong, longer-ranged punches.

However, the user only seems to be able to propel themselves in a straight direction, making it easy for opponents to predict the user's trajectory. Furthermore, the user needs something to bounce off of, thus the direction is based on the geography of the battlefield. Other than that, the fruit has the standard Devil Fruit weakness.

Usage
The fruit's bestowed powers, as used by Bellamy, have been used primarily for combat. Prior to the timeskip, the basic concept of Bellamy's usage of this power is to turn his legs into springs and then launches himself to attack an opponent, and he heavily relied on this power for his combat style. Outside of combat purposes, the fruit's powers have been seen being used by Bellamy to jump to the top of a tower where Luffy was calling out for him.

After the timeskip, Bellamy's style of usage of the power seemingly changed somewhat, such as enforcing his punches by turning his own arm into a spring, as well as evading an enemy by changing one leg. He also seemed to rely on the ability less than before, as he did gain a great boost in his natural strength.

Pre-Timeskip Techniques

 * Spring Snipe (スプリング狙撃（スナイプ）): Turning both his forelegs into springs, Bellamy launches himself directly at his opponent with a punch. This was first seen being used on Shoujou when Bellamy and his crew attacked the Saruyama Alliance leaders. While doing this attack, Bellamy inadvertently also broke the Going Merry in half. In the FUNimation dub it is called the Spring Sniper.


 * Spring Hopper (スプリング跳人（ホッパー）): Bellamy's ultimate attack. Using the surrounding geography like the buildings in Jaya's square, he bounces from one spot to the next, increasing in speed with each successive spring, also disorientating opponents with the continuous sound of springing. He keeps increasing his speed to such a level that he seemingly disappears to spectators. Then he simply has to aim himself at the target and let his velocity do the rest. This is the technique Bellamy used to kill Roshio and was first properly seen when he battled against Luffy where it was completely nullified by a single punch from the latter.

Post-Timeskip Techniques

 * Spring Death Knock (スプリング死拳（デスノック）): An attack similar to Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Pistol, Bellamy turns his arm into a spring and compresses it. He then releases it as a long-ranged and powerful punch. This was first seen used against Tank Lepanto in the Corrida Colosseum.
