Gunyo Gunyo no Mi

The Gunyo Gunyo no Mi is an unknown-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create and control clay, making the user a Clay Human (粘土人間). It was eaten by Prince Grus.

Etymology

 * Gunyogunyo (グニョグニョ) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for a soft, pliable substance being squished, such as clay.
 * The VIZ manga renders the fruit's name as Glorp-Glorp Fruit.

Strengths and Weaknesses
This Devil Fruit's ability is to generate clay from the user's body and mold it into different shapes akin to clay modeling. This includes the creation of human-like, animated figures called "golems" that can fight on the user's behalf, being invulnerable to damage.

No weaknesses of this ability are known apart from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage


Grus uses his ability to create animated golems that fight for him while he can stay out of harm's way, observing at a safe distance. He has also been seen conjuring forth larger, more shapeless masses of clay, such as a wave of the substance to cushion the fall of a large ship onto land.

Applications

 * Golems: An ability that involves Grus forming realistically human-looking figures out of clay; it is unknown whether these golems have complete sentience/autonomy or are controlled by Grus, though one golem has exhibited the ability to speak. While normally seeming indistinguishable from normal humans, upon taking damage, the golems will reform from clay in a Logia-like fashion.

Techniques

 * Nyudo Gunyo: A technique whereby Grus calls forth a massive, cushiony wave of clay to cover the ground in front of him. He was first seen using the move to soften the fall of Monkey D. Garp's airborne ship onto the island of Hachinosu. The technique's name is a pun on nyūdōgumo (入道雲), a Japanese word for "cumulonimbus", referencing the cloud-like appearance of the claybed that is created (with nyūdō being a term that refers to someone entering Buddhist priesthood). The VIZ manga calls the technique Cumulo-Glorpus.

Trivia

 * In Jewish folklore, a golem is a figure artificially constructed from clay or mud, in the shape of a human being, and endowed with life by magical means (like a spell or cabbalistic rite involving a piece of paper, inscribed with Hebrew words, being inserted into the golem's mouth).
 * It is currently unknown whether this fruit is a Paramecia or a Logia. Clay is a naturally occurring substance and the golems created by Grus were compared to Logia users, but it is unknown whether Grus can transform into clay himself.
 * Grus' usage of the fruit is reminiscent of Charlotte Cracker's use of the Bisu Bisu no Mi's power, involving the creation of human-like beings made from inanimate matter that are remotely controlled by the user.
