Ori Ori no Mi

The Ori Ori no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to bind their foes in iron shackles created by the user's body. It was eaten by Hina.

Etymology

 * Ori (檻) means "cage" in Japanese.
 * It is called the Bind-Bind Fruit in the Viz Manga.
 * It is called the Cage-Cage Fruit in the 4Kids and Funimation dubs.

Strengths


The major strength of the fruit, as demonstrated by Hina, is that it gives the user the ability to bind foes via iron-like constructs manifested from their body. So far, no character has been shown escaping those cuffs, so it is unknown if it is possible to break them away.

When the user makes contact with something they intend to bind, their body will bend in an unnatural manner and generate something akin to a giant, restraining metal cuff around the spot contact was made (with the bending body part fully regenerating afterwards). It is also possible for the user to shackle more than one object at once, allowing them to secure a target to the nearby environment.

The user also has the ability to generate flexible metal bars that behave much like their body does, bending around and restraining anything in their way. This method grants more range to the user and can encircle their immediate surroundings in order to capture multiple people at once.

Weaknesses
The fruit so far does not seem to have any specific weaknesses outside the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses. However, the user can unintentionally bind allies and prevent them from fighting when utilizing more sophisticated, long-ranged techniques.

Usage
Hina has used the fruit's bestowed powers so far mostly for the subduing of opponents, usually through her own arms and legs. She can simply bind an opponent that passes through her, or employ something as complex as forming a cage from her arms to surround them. Hina's mastery with this fruit is what has earned her the epithet of Black Cage Hina.

Techniques



 * Awase Baori (袷羽檻): After surrounding an area with a fence-like cage of bars that come out of her arms, Hina closes the cage and binds anyone that is caught inside. This was first seen being used against Luffy at Marineford. In the Viz Manga and Funimation subs and dub, this is called Kimono Sleeve Cage. The first part of the technique's name is based on the way the cage's bars come out of her arms, which resemble kimono sleeves. The second part of the technique's name is based on the fact that the bars vaguely resemble feathers. The pun in this technique is that the last two symbols of the technique are phonetically identical to that of the last two symbols of the word awase baori (袷羽織), which the last symbol was changed from "weave" (織) to "cage" (檻).
