Strengths and Weaknesses
This fruit makes the user capable of aiming which ever "target" he decide upon from any location and at any time with anything at ease. With the distance and acceleration of the things the user is sending it is a very dangerous ability for it can actually give a greater force in its attack as shown by Van Der Decken IX when he sent an ax to princess Shirahoshi where it acceleration gives a greater force to the ax blow that could actually be fatal.

While this fruits is capable a sending objects to the target it actually doesn't give the user the capability of controlling the direction of the item, it will just follow the single direction of the user to the target aiming through every thing along the way which means is the item is block by something or somebody the effect of the fruit while be nullified, it will not act like a homing device. This is shown as how he ax the Van Der Decken throw pass their ship's mast and block by Luffy but it doesn't follow it target princess Shirahoshi. Besides that, they are still affected by standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
