Guru Guru no Mi

The Guru Guru no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to become a Rotation Human (回転人間), creating propellers around their body giving them the ability of flight. "Guruguru" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for "turning round and round, going around in circles". It was eaten by Buffalo. In the Viz Manga, it is called the Spin-Spin Fruit.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The Guru Guru no Mi grants its eater the power to transform any part of their body or piece of worn clothing into propellers capable of rotation at high speed. The force of the spinning is strong enough to enable propelled flight by the user over very long distances, to assist in the carrying or thrown launch of objects and other people, and to create powerful windstorms.

A person of sufficient strength can grab onto the user's rotational parts and stop the spinning. The user is also vulnerable to the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Buffalo mastered the Guru Guru no Mi to the point where he can turn his whole body into a mode of transportation. He also uses his power to execute team-attacks with his partner Baby 5, who uses her Buki Buki no Mi powers.

He also uses this to rapidly rotate his legs in a vertical fashion, allowing him to use them like rollerskates.

Attacks

 * Toppu: Matasaburo (突風 又三郎): Buffalo spins around to create a gust of wind powerful enough to disperse Shinokuni. Matasaburo is a character from Kenji Miyazawa's story "Matasaburo of the Wind" (風の又三郎), who can control and ride on wind. In the FUNimation subs, this is called Gust - Matasaburo.


 * Guru Guru Toshaho (グルグル投射砲): After Baby 5 transforms into a large missile with her abilities, Buffalo spins his arms around his body to throw her against the enemy. The momentum and speed gained from the spinning, combined with Baby 5's ability to move in midair to dodge incoming enemy fire, makes this technique very hard to avoid and very powerful. It was used for the first time against Franky in his Franky Shogun. In the FUNimation subs, this is called Spin-Spin Projectile Cannon.

Trivia

 * The Guru Guru no Mi is very similar to the Shari Shari no Mi, as both fruits revolve around rotation.
