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

The  no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to tame animals by manifesting Kibi dango from their body. It was eaten by Tama.

Strengths and Weaknesses
By simply pulling on their skin, the user can quickly manifest a piece of Kibi dango that will tame any animal, removing any threat they pose and even making them subservient to the user. The fruit's abilities also extend to SMILE Devil Fruit users due to them being part animal; it is unknown if normal Zoan users would be affected by this as well. Food cannot be manifested from the user's body by external forces, meaning the ability cannot be used against the user's will.

However, the fruit's power will only work should the animal actually make the decision to eat the Kibi dango. And with the exception of SMILE users, it does not work on humans. The Kibi dango also does not quell hunger. Otherwise, the user is affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Tama has been shown taming hostile animals by pulling Kibi dango from her cheek. Due to living in Wano Country, she is surrounded by many occupying Gifters of the Beasts Pirates, whom she can also affect with her power. The discovery of this power caused her to be targeted by the Beasts Pirates, who tried and failed to use it for their own purposes.

Trivia

 * The fruit's power seems to be based on Momotarō of Japanese folklore, who also used Kibi dango to recruit his three beastly retainers: a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant. So far, Tama is known to have befriended two of the same three types of animals that Momotarō has; only the pheasant is missing.
 * The way Tama uses her Devil Fruit is reminiscent of the old Japanese tale Lump-removing Old Man, a tale in which an old man befriends ogres who then removes a lump on his right cheek.
 * This fruit bears similarity to Streusen's Kuku Kuku no Mi, as they both are capable of creating food. However, while Tama's food is delicious, it doesn't alleviate hunger while Streusen can eat his own food but it has a foul flavor.
 * It is also similar to Charlotte Katakuri's Mochi Mochi no Mi in that it allows the user to manifest mochi from their body. However, the Tama's Kibi dango only serves to tame animals while Katakuri's mochi possesses normal properties.
